Thread: snow leopard and tpg mail

apple have given me a temporary fix that i have to do each time i restart the computer

have to wait for a permanent fix

any other apple users using tpg mail?

Very nasty. Have no fear they will fix it for you soon.

Actually I just can't help myself.

That is a bit paw what they have done to you Weeds.

my mac mini is the first computer i have brought from new and although everybody mentioned they just work well mine must have been the odd one out

over the last few days since upgrading

parental control stopped working
very slow changing between account
the curser would change to a spinning rainbow stopping you from clicking

after 2 or 3 calls to support (which by the way is excellent a real person in australia) it now appears to be all good, we downloaded some updates, changed a few setting etc etc etc

changes between accounts quickly
no more spinning rainbow
restarts very quick
i can send and receive emails
i can restart the computer and email setting stay put

hopefully no more issues

In hindsight I shouldn't have told you to upgrade straight away! I'll wear that.

Interestingly I haven't re-booted mine since she came up after the upgrade.....
