fixed1t Playlist For Mac Google Chrome And Google Bookmarks Issues

A number of people have been having problems finding the appropriate directory for Google Chrome Bookmark Issues, so I have put all of the videos in a single fixed1t Youtube playlist.

To get to it click on the link below.

Please do not skip through the video thinking that you know whats coming next, If I could cram it into the first 30 seconds and make it understandable I would have done, its long for a reason.  The main reason for the length and slow pace is so that its slow enough for watchers to follow and mimic the actions on their own machine to get to the same solution.

If you skip about you may miss a crucial step

I know its hard to be patient and not to jump to conclusions, but trust me, you'll get to the solution quicker if you watch the whole video before skipping about.

Deleting New Google Maps Search Boxes

I found myself pulling my hair out trying to search for a hospital in Northamptonshire with the 'New Google Maps' as every time I got close the stupid 'nay idiotic' search and information boxes would cover the area I wanted to see. So I figured it out and here is a short video showing how to delete the awful search and information boxes on the New Google Maps software.  Here is how to get back to the original simple classic version, click on the picture below:

fixed1t Apple Mac Support Renamed To Apple Mac Support Fixes

Hi, as you know I've been publishing 'Working' Mac Support Fixes and associated 'How I Do It' Youtube videos for some years, but realised that having fixed1t at the start of the title reduced Blog traffic and views.

Therefore, I've renamed the Blog to:

Apple Mac Support Fixes 

Please delete your previous fixed1t Mac Support Bookmark and updated your bookmarks to this page.  I've also taken the opportunity to embed some links in some of my youtube videos, as a banner note in the top right hand corner, to take you to a playlist of fixed1t videos on the related topic, so you won't have to search around for the next videos.  Please try it out by selecting one of my recent Apple Mac Yosemite videos and let me know if this works. by leaving a note on this post, thanks.




I've also decided this blog shouldn't only be about the fixes I've already created, but should be an active tool for others to post items on, so if you find an Apple Mac Support problem that you'd like me to investigate and try and find a fix for, just post a question on this Blog and I'll try and take a look, if I solve it I'll post the solution.

Thanks for your continued support.

Clean Installing OS X Yosemite On An External Hard Disk

Don't risk installing a Yosemite over a working system install it on an external drive for testing first, thats what I do.

Yosemite Google Chrome Bookmarks Recovery

If you have installed Yosemite and accidentally deleted your Google Chrome Bookmarks this is a method I worked out to recover mine.

Beware of cleverly worded bogus apple technical support answers, although in this case they sent German to me in England (rem I'm English fools .co.uk is usually a give away) they state that your technical support calls has been cancelled, and invite you to click on the link to verify the query.  With a bogus like to Apple support.  If you haven't requested technical support for anything it bogus, and likely to infect your machine.

While your here please check out my other mac support and other blog topics.
