Q: hackers

Hi Csound1,

How are you today?  I would like to start by saying, I hope that after you read this that we can start over.

I have never used time machine before the person at best buy who did my mac told me I need not need it nor did I need iCloud and also told me that the mail would cause me problems!! I ask him then why did I buy an apple when I can't use all the cool stuff... I did explain to him (I don't share my personal life but I've been divorced 2 yrs this month, it wasn't a good marriage very abusive mentally then later physically.. I had a total of 13 major surgeries during that marriage & 3 concussions. I was told to get an apple it does everything for you, no more worries...) that was my divorce present to myself... with that said. The mac was put away for awhile due heath issues.. So I'm new to all of this... so all the apps that came with the apple I haven't had a chance to use yet. I haven't even developed iTunes yet or any of the other apps. Where is all the space going to??? I feel dumb when it comes to this stuff ..when I” read your reply it sounded mean to me because of course you hit reply to answer someone. I simply wanted to tell Jimmy what I just told you and I didn’t want everyone to know why I needed a little more explaining to understand what do with my apple… I hope you understand and there are no hard feelings between us….I know you have allot of experience and hope one day you can help me out.  I'm really not a not nice person Csound1 complete opposite I'm to nice and get taken advantage of at times something I need to work on Ive been told.....Have a wonderful day… feather6868

Hi Grant, I live in a small town the closest apple store here is in tampa thats a three hour drive...  can I trust a private computer store?  if they are reasonable? thanks for your advice... I have a questions what your seeing on my pc is it all the cd's in 2008-2013 best buy but on from my usb drives.... which still have. can you explain the etrecheck to me??? the only thing I can think of is that!!! and all the dup's of pics... Like I said I have not open-end any of my apps yet and enjoyed my mac as of yet.... no, garage band, iMovie, iTunes,evernote, FaceTime once or twice, just everything that comes up when you click on your launchpad icon... exept for maybe 5 of them.  that is sad the view people I have ask around here they want to much money and I didn't feel i could trust  them.  so when I found this community I was so happy because know I had people that can help me.  and everyone has been great but I know everyone can only do so much especially when someone is so knew to the the apple products... would it help if i would delete all my dup's? read how the time machine works to back up my files, and delete delete the 2 launch agents i believe jimmy called it? and if i could figure out hoe to open the recordings best buy but on my pc from my phone to listen to them and the usb's that would help too? see, how much I know thanks again feather6868

Thanks
