End of report

You seem to not have read my post. I said: After upgrade to High Sierra my mac will not send pictures through the messages app. I had no problems before the upgrade so it has to be something that changed with the upgrade. I do not call that ranting. I only need constructive help, not ridicule. Thanks anyway.

Hi Allan,

Thanks for your input about Google Chrome. I had no idea it was that bad. The reason I started using it is because so many of the places I visit with Safari would with have the lettering overlapping so badly I couldn't make out what it was saying. With Chrome I did not have that problem. I never did figure that one out.

I knew I had 1 TB of hard drive but did not realize how much Ram I had or needed. I will order and install more. Also I have the Time Machine. I have a ton of photos and documents on my computer and wanted to put them on the time capsule but I haven't taken the time to learn how to do that. I don't know how to use it for storage. With all the moves we have made since leaving Alaska I have stayed too busy to delve into it. Since buying it, I also now have 4 small poodles that take up a huge amount of my time but love every minute of it. Life is much different than living in Alaska and going fishing so often.

Thank you very much for your reply and help. It is very much appreciated.

Allan, I was just looking at my Mac by going to the apple and clicking on "About the Mac" there seems to be a discrepancy on the EtreCheck about the amount of free space on my hard drive. Here is a picture I took of what it says on my computer. I don't think 430.78 use of 999.35 would pose a problem but soon I will have it down further by moving some photos and files off. What do you think?

Hi Allan,

I know my computer is in a mess file wise. With the failure of WD external hard drives and getting as much off the second one as I could before it totally failed has made for a mess that I am constantly working on in spare time.

Here is the pic again with the grey lines that you thought was weird. It says that area is Other Volumes in Container 16708 GB

Allan, thanks for your help and your time. Maybe I should just get all my files off of this computer and wipe it clean to start over. Seems there are too many issues with it right now. Nice talking with you and I really do appreciate your trying to help.

Hi Allen, thanks for the advice. My report is posted. Not sure you can find anything since the report says it shows nothing bad. Either way I appreciate your help.
