      MCL I agree 100% with what you've said. I gave up trying to be annoyed about it and look at it like a game. 'which word is the one with an action associated with it' kind of thing. Really poor. It's not enough for me to move to Android again, and I do believe they'll eventually figure it out.

          At least Apple tries. It'll never be perfect, or please everyone (especially other software designers), but it beats the alternative, at least in my layman opinion.

            ok, so what would you guys recommend for doing home office! working with a MacBook Air or Pro (and connect to a extern screen (also good for watching tv in the evening)) or should i go the iMac route?…thanks in advance.

            also, new or refurbished as some of you already suggested?!

              What'd we say last time? That would still be my answer :). iMac is not the way IMO.

                I'm on my 2nd refurb MacBook in 4 years, they've been very good to me. Now I'm running an MBA with external monitor. Only issue is the lack of LAN connection that the external monitor steals (lightening connector) so a USB LAN adaptor is reqd.

                    Anyone else have issues with photos and videos randomly orientating upside-down?  When it happens randomly to photos, it's not that big of an inconvenience, but I've created docs in Word that look correct, and then I email it, and the pics flip. Drives me nuts!!!

                      Just hold your phone the correct orientation when taking photos and it'll always be correct :). The mac auto rotates upside down photos so you never see if they're upside down. Older software/PCs etc won't auto rotate, not because they can't, rather because either they CBF developing it, or more likely the make the convenience of a mac just working, look stupid on a PC.

                        Yeah, I did some forum research and discovered the classic Apple slogan, "You're holding it wrong."

                        Thing is, photos STILL display upside down on my Retina MacBook Pro. It's not a PC issue.

                        As far as the docs are concerned, I am running an old version of Office, so I understand the issue there.

                        Thanks for the response, Snowman.

                          In Preview you can definitely rotate and save that beeyatch if need be.

                                It does require the phone to be powered back on, which will likely happen at some point if someone's found it. Best you can do using that is set an alert on it for when it does turn on.
