My 27" iMac has a 550 Tripp Lite works great.
Jack's 21" iMac has an older APC 450 it works great, too.
Because we live in a high lightning area, we purchased an APC 1000 XS for
the TV and Satellite.
But APC 1000 XS frequently gives us problems when extended power failures
occur. When severe lightning is involved, we do unplug our UPS and turn them
off so the battery back up won't drain.
If we unplug the APC 1000 XS PRIOR to a power outage, the APC is fine when
we plug it back in.
If we unplug the APC 1000 XS AFTER a power outage (even immediately), then
the APC begins losing its charge and never fully charges again, even though
it will indicate 75% - 100% charge, when the daily power surge occurs from
our rural electric co-op, the TV and Satellite will black out and reboot.
This only happens AFTER a power outage (regular occurrence in our area with
summer storms).
Yes, we do have an extra surge protector at the electrical service, too, and
the lights indicate it is working properly.
After researching on line, People like the Smaller Tripp Lite, but do not
like the larger Tripp Lite.
May I ask what UPS you all use for your larger items like TV/Satellite? And
are you satisfied?
Thanks very much,
Donna

Older APC "Smart-UPS 1500". Flawless. When the time comes, always buy brand-name batteries, not the cheapest ones one can find. There is a quality difference that you won't see until a year after they've been in the UPS.

Brand names mean nothing. I have had 4 APC UPS fail on me, and I don't mean the batteries died. I am in an area that is not known for power problems and 3 of these were defective out of the box. Thankfully they were warranty replacements with shipping paid by APC.
Buy from a reputable brand, but use the specs as your guideline. Yes, it gets a little technical, and you have to read through the smoke that is thrown up.

Choose a UPS by whatever criteria you wish.
But don't buy replacement batteries on price. A fools economy.
YMMV.

Well, the problem is resolved, and happily I didn't lose my file (it actually was intact).
The problem was actually caused by my file being a PPC file (it originated on my G5 PowerPC). There was a rare bug in the initial release of 10.0.6 which caused Reunion to crash when opening PPC files on an Intel Mac. The current version of 10.0.6 doesn't have this bug.
After reinstalling 10.0.6 from the link above, the problem is fixed.

Sorry about referring to the "link above." Cut and paste strikes again! (The link is just the upgrade link on the LeisterPro page.)

Hi All,
Suddenly, my desk top is acting up. As I look at it now, I can't see the top
items. If I go up to top with my mouse they will appear.
Likewise, with both sides and the bottom.
What can I do to make the whole screen appear as it did before?
Thanks for help.

I think you've enabled screen zoom. To zoom back, try option-command
-(minus) or ctrl and a 2-finger downwards drag on the trackpad.
Have a look at System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom to see what the
various options are.

First thing I would do would be to restart and see if that fixes it. If not then set the monitor to a different resolution. If that fixes it then you probably can set it back and it will be fine.
I'm assuming you don't have any of the accessibility options set? If so then this is normal.

In Mountain Lion Safari, in the top right corner, if you click the arrows, you will move into a full screen mode. The finder menu is still there if you move your cursor and touch the top of your screen window.
To get out of this full screen mode, touch the top of the screen w your cursor and click the top right arrows that drops down.

Bob, phising is social engineering to get you to reveal your password, so a password manager will not help in this case.
For phising, or spoofing, when the sender is pretending to be one of your accounts, the best thing to do is not to use any links on the _any_ email. If you have an account with the supposed company, either type in the normal URL you use or use one of your existing bookmarks and check out the information.
Remember, nothing has to happen immediately. But do check it out shortly if you are uncertain, just by other means.
Now can we get back on topic, Apple devices and software?

Brent,
A good PW manager, such as LastPass, will recognize you are not on the
correct site based on its IP address. The fact that LastPass did not fill
out your login credentials is your warning that you are not on the legit
site. And, if you let LastPass use gibberish for passwords, you won't be
able to fill in from memory.

I am not aware that any did that, and if you have gone to the bad site, then you have already confirmed the e-ddress is good and have possibly just visited a "drive-by" malware site.
Too little, too late.
That is also why I will not use a PW manager that will auto-fill.
It is better to recognize that the phishing was just that, and not respond or react to the attempt.

Brent,
A good PW manager, such as LastPass, will recognize you are not on the
correct site based on its IP address. The fact that LastPass did not fill
out your login credentials is your warning that you are not on the legit
site. And, if you let LastPass use gibberish for passwords, you won't be
able to fill in from memory.

I have looked on line and been referred to various sites from the macsupport listserv and I haven't found any real solution. My iPhone 5 lately has been quirky sound-wise. I have missed calls and my Yocto alarm sound has not been playing. I checked the mute button on the left side of the phone and it was not turned on. Also, it doesn't happen consistently or with every call. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you Jim, Otto and Daly for your information and assistance. Since I
purchased this iMac close to 6 years ago nothing as really malfunctioned
with it, unlike my old MS loaded PC, hence, I have a steep learning curve
ahead of me regarding this matter. It will be a challenge and I will learn
much more about this in the next few days or more. Will do much more
research and figure out how to get this done. I'm an old geezer but rest
assured I am not so old that I can't learn this....we all start
somewhere....I just got a very late start when it comes to the Mac.
Again THANK YOU all very much for your input. I will let you know how this
works out in the future. Doubt it will be over the counter at a Genius
bar!!
