RIP Don Rickles

"Trained as a dramatic actor, Rickles appeared in films and television series and was the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the popular "Toy Story" series of animated features from 1995 to 2010. But for more than 50 years, he practiced a distinctive brand of improvisational, sarcastic humor that made him one of the most original and influential comedians of his time."

Magsafe 1 options?

I'm sure I'm not the only one here faced with this dilemma... I have three laptops that are Magsafe-1, but only one power adapter, and it's a bit of a pain when more than one has to be in use given that the batteries are now long in the tooth.

There's a Magsafe-1-to-2 adapter that is (was?) for sale on the Apple Store, but that doesn't help me, and I don't think there ever was a Magsafe-2-to-1 adapter.

I do have three Magsafe-1 power adapters laying around that don't work anymore, naturally.

So... what are we to do? Anyone out there producing old Magsafe-1 compatible chargers?

Browsers

Hi All

I am running an ipad mini - first edition and an older Macbook Pro. Not really interested in upgrading

However, I am getting really tired of the warnings from Firefox that the sites I am visiting (credit union and sites I work with) are not safe because they have not upgraded their certificate - supposedly

Any suggestions on a browser that Imight use as an alternative to Safari? Not really interested in the megalith Google getting into my life

I just tried to download Opera onto the ipad - a but apparently Safari cannot download it

Thank you for your help

ipod nano problem - shows red circle & diagonal line

I'm trying to figure out if an ipod nano (A1137) I just found in my desk is still usable.

It charges fine, itunes opens when I plug it into a Mac but I seem to have problems transferring a music file to it.

The file shows up as an mp3 if I look at the ipod folder on the Mac but it's not there if I look on the ipod display.

The ipod nano icon on the desktop has in the display of the icon, a red circle with a diagonal red line running from top left to bottom right at about a 45 degree angle.

I assume that has something to do with my problem.

I usually use neither itunes nor ipods so I don't know what the problem is and how to fix it.
Umpteen google searches got me nowhere.

Any ipod experts who can point me in the right direction?

How do I arrange desktop icons in alphabetical order on El Capitan

I like to have my files and folders in icon view on the desktop sorted in the conventional, alphabetical way, from A to Z starting at top left and ending at bottom right.

For some reason the sorting is backwards, starts at Z going to A; all the icons also fill the right side of the screen rather than the left.

How do I change that to what I would call a "normal" view???
