Question from Maria: Hi, Rick. I recently purchased a MacBook Air with an M processor.
I am new to MacBooks so I am on a learning curve even though I have both an iPhone and an iPad.
I wanted to buy an external hard drive for my processor but have no idea what type I should get. I would like it mainly to back up my iTunes library and photos. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Question from Charlotte: Rick, my family is dealing with some issues right now, and I’m hoping you can help me resolve one of them.

I really need your help with resetting the password on my daughter’s Macbook Air. Can you tell me what I need to do? [Read more…]

Question from Tammy: I’ve used nothing but Windows laptops all my life but I decided to try a MacBook Air this time around.
I think I’m going to like the laptop ok but I hate the Magic Mouse that I bought to go with it. I just can’t seem to get used to it.
My question is can I use a regular 2-button mouse like the ones you use with a Windows computer with it?
