Question 1

My wife suddenly lost all of her saved emails on Yahoo. She said she went to yahoo help and filled out the appropriate form. We then received a call supposedly From yahoo, stating that the problem was her iPad was too old and out of warranty. It could be fixed for $100-200. Does an iPad go out of warranty?

Yahoo does not charge for support.  If someone is trying to charge you for Yahoo help, it is a probably a scam.  If your iPad is too old for something, the warranty would not fix that. Whatever the issue with Yahoo mail, it would not be a hardware problem.

Soaking wired keyboard, not plugged in.  Dry on paper towel until COMPLETELY dry.

Question 5

I am putting together a slideshow for my Mom’s 90th birthday, so far I have 89 photos collected, In My Projects.  I’m not sure how to

Put all these photos together and burn a DVD to play over my tv

For the big party? Anything I should know, planning on adding music too.  Does this IMAC even burn DVD’s?

Open the photos Icon Bottom of screen

Open named slide show you want to burn. My projects, then named slide show

Click on file top left

Export

Export slideshow

Save as, named slide show

Tag, I picked red

Format, I picked high definitions (1080)

Load DVD, shiny side in back

Save

Replace, I want to know why you have to save it, instead of just burning DVD?

You will see it exporting slideshow

Give it some time depending on how big of a slide show you are putting together.

Once it stops, click file

Click burn, in my case it’s called “Welcome Spring”.

I had to pick speed, don’t know if 2, 4 ,6 or 8 is better??? I picked 8

Click burn again.

Once this is all done click on the image of a DVD and click Eject.

VOILA, you should now be able to play this DVD on your computer or tv.
