Redirecting constantly, Safari can't connect to server, mail issues
I am having a lot of different issues with my MacBook Pro ... it is constantly 'redirecting' me to websites I have no interest in, it now won't connect to websites that I have used for years, and while one of my mail addresses is working fine, anything related to Gmail is not working on the Mac but seems to work on the iPad ... don't know who to go to, and am not 'computer literate' enough to work through the issues myself. Can anyone help at any of the stores?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2
