A writer, on Macs since the moment I laid eye on the Powerbook in late '92. Bought it the next day, and damn near every portable since. What a ride!

Understanding how safe boot fixed a boot problem This was not meant as hostile, just as simple as I could make it. Also, I don't see the value of repeating detailed info from Apple. Suggestions on answering such questions? Is giving the link enough? Maybe I'll have to pass on these. Thx! |

Kernel panic recurring Not unless you are a real adept at reading logs. Easier to examine what actions you might have taken, in conjunction with using Apple's info as linked. |

Macbook randomly shuts down without on charge (even at ~90% full) Am sorry to report that whenever Powerbooks did this, it was logic board. Those random shutdowns. |

Using Photo Stream and ICloud The real confusion, on every level, is whether iCloud is storage or streaming sync. Photostream is a trip, but you've got to know the tricks, and does dear Apple ever give instructions? |

Using Photo Stream and ICloud Apple is just not in the cloud business. Not now. Maybe not ever, unless they focus on it. Hell, I think MobileMe worked better, and sure had nicer stuff--albums, cards, sites, iDisk. Different, I know, Apple and the cloud are a running if fond joke on the Mac blogs about now. Read the sad stories on Apple Support - or don't. Where have all my photos gone?! How to explain to noobs, It mostly all Just Works. |

Using Photo Stream and ICloud Seemed too long for a comment - but was kind of an add-on to OP. |

Trackpad gesture that minimizes all windows? Sandboxing, I think, is storing whole copies of apps at system level, and this damn container thing. Sometimes even App Support. I use EasyFind so as not to go mad ... |

make new Finder windows open at current folder Damn, you're right. And all these years and I never twigged on Select anything and hit Open. For above comment, I always had a Folder selected. Not sure anymore about answer below, either. Comm-N and Comm-O seem to do same thing. |
