Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I took my Apple to the new highly touted Mac Spa in San Francisco. When I picked it up the night before leaving for Brazizl, my Mac G4 had received a new brain called Tiger. I added lots of new and improved memory, and a mic so that with Garage Band, it could function not only as my secretary, but as my traveling sound studio.
My Mac had received a new iLife!
Brazil bound and ready to blog!. There´s more than one way to tell a story I´ve been heard to say (a lot) lately.
But when I tried to rouse Mac the morning of our flight, it stirred but would not wake up! It had been too much, too fast, and now it was in a coma. I tried everything to revive it! Then I did a reinstall. Mac opened his eyes and came to. Thank God!
Later on the plane, I discovered that Mac’s memory of everything from its past had disappeared - Names, events, people, Mac remembered nada!
Hopefully it´s all there, buried deeply in its subconscious. And hopefully with the right care and treatment, it will remember everything.
Meanwhile, I´m on a planet called Paraty where I´ve yet to see one laptop, never mind an iPod or a computer rehab clinic.
And so in an internet cafe, I am desperately pecking out this S.O.S. to you.
Any recommendations for treatment? I´m trying to reach the mac docs in San Francisco, but so far no luck.Those Mac Genius´s are great - when they´re around.
And to think I just edited a book called the Portable Professional!
Right. There are a few kinks yet to work out.
Assuming that over the next few day I will have to use a foreign computer, how do i upload audio files, not to mention words, photos, and video clips onto this site? I´d even settle for just words at this point. Can I send files to someone to upload to my site until my computer recovers?
Desperately seeking solutions,
Robin
