Mac Mini email quit

Hi,
I havent needed help here in ages. Today my email quit and I cannot send any email, but I can receive. I did not change anything anywhere.

I have a Mac Mini with OSX 10.9.5.

Mt ISP (who is useless) says no problems on their end so it must be my mail program.

Anyone know if something got updated/changed today that could cause this and also what can I do to get my mail working again.

Thanks!

RIP Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell

He died yesterday from Alzheimer's at the age of 81.

He was a true talent and a great man of his time.

I grew up listening to him because of my parents and then saw him in the original "True Grit" (which was WAAYYY better than the remake). Tim Power on CBC Q did a great show about him and his legacy along with a really good interview with Anne Murray, he was a great talent who nurtured other great talents.

Anne Murray on the kindness and talent of Glen Campbell: 'He nurtured me'

Just in case anyone forgets what a great guitarist he was"

I don't think that there was a song he sang that I did not like. He shall be missed by many. RIP

upgrading 2012 iMac hard drive

One of the computers at work is a 2012 iMac, the first of the slim models with no super drive. It is used for prepress and graphics using Adobe CC (Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop). It has a traditional hard drive which can be very slow at times, seems to move like a turtle to me but I am using a 5k iMac with 1TB flash drive so anything less is unbearable.

Anyways, I was thinking I should upgrade the hard drive to an SSD, but prices are a bit high for that and not sure if there is any direct swap of a regular hard drive to an SSD, as well as fan issues.

Will this machine support a fusion drive? I am assuming yes but want to be sure. Second, does Apple do these kind of swaps? It has always felt like pulling nails to get any information for upgrades or work done on a computer that was not in warranty.

DIY Mac Power Bank

Hi there! A friend just mailed me this very fascinating link.

I simply cannot withhold this from any fellow camper/ hiker/ biker/ bush trader, whomever!

From scrap batteries to MagSafe power bank | bitlog :: uncovering secrets at the frontier of technology

Note this:

Quote:

If the 1-wire is absent, the OK signal is omitted and charging circuit will not be activated, but any available DC power will always be used to power the MacBook.

In need of power & have some electronics insight? The DIY itch?
There you go, enjoy!
