Apple has released the next Mac OS Catalina (10.15) in early October. With the upgrade, Apple has finally pulled the plug on older "32-bit" apps, requiring all software (apps) you run to be 64-bit. This transition has been a long time coming and most current software complies. Here is an explanation about the difference and why Apple is doing this.
Heads up folks! This is really happening - we are seeing clients taken by this scam.
This woman did exactly what she should. Go directly to the Apple website call the support number on there and ask to talk to or for a callback from legitimate Apple employee.

Once again we find ourselves at the beginning of a New Year and hopefully we feel excitement at the idea of a fresh start and the potential for wonderful things happening. I also start my New Year with intentions as opposed to resolutions. I took some time over the holiday break to sit and ask myself what I would like my New Year to look and feel like. Then I created intentions of a more general sort, i.e feel stronger (from here I can make decisions on how that will happen). I love moving into the New Year feeling good about the possibilities.
This year has been a wild ride on many fronts from weather events and violence, to elections and the "too close to home" horrors of the Butte fire. I find myself reaching out to friends, family, and the many support resources we have in this community. I hope that you will do the same if you feel a need to.
If you have been reading this newsletter for a while, you know I am all about gratitude - each and everyday. Thanksgiving just brings the practice of gratitude closer to my heart because I get to share it with friends, family and you, my dear clients. I am so grateful for your trust in us to take care of your computers and iOS device needs.
