On my MacBook Pro sometimes when I want to switch off/log off it refuses to log off unless I force quit Mail.
Any ideas why that may be or how I fix it? I'm currently using a Gmail and Ntlworld account plus an iCloud account.
Thanks

Mine did that once. Unfortunately I can't help but I do know how frustrating it is.Any ideas why that may be or how I fix it? I'm currently using a Gmail and Ntlworld account plus an iCloud account.

Guys, can someone help me out/give me advice. Quite urgent.
My iPhone 5S doesn't want to charge anymore. When I put in the cable nothing happens, and now it won't turn back on due to low battery. My phone is vital towards my work and I really can't afford to not have it working.
Any advice will be great, cheers.
ETA - I think I found the problem. I went onto the Apple Store to see how much a new charger was and there's hundreds upon hundreds of bad ratings about the cable from people that have the same problem as me. I hope that it's a simple cable problem and not a problem with my phone.

I had similar symptoms with my iPhone 5 a few weeks back. Turned out to be as simple as fluff in the charger socket. A quick blow with a compressed air and a poke with a cocktail stick and normal charging was restored.My iPhone 5S doesn't want to charge anymore.

Well that lasted long. I'm back to the same problem after buying a new cable. Are they really that unreliable or is there an issue with my phone causing this?!
Have you tried using the Amazon (black) iPhone cables? They're cheap and reliable.... Also try putting your vacuum cleaner over the charging port just to clear any debris that might be in there.If this all fails then you might have an issue with the socket in some way.
Items on the desktop with long filenames... In Windows you just click once and it expands the text box so you can read the filename.
Is this possible on OSX? I'm having to click, wait then click again to 'rename' the file to expose the full amount of text.
Also is there a better file manager than finder? Finder is pretty bobbins IMO.
