LONDON- someone help me with my MAC- will pay?

Post Reply New Topic

i need some help with my mac- anyone help?
nothing major, but im beyond useless at doing much more than typing and turning it off an on again, so even the basics are beyond me.

we could meet in a quiet pub with wifi for half an hour- id pay for your time- im broke atm, so could only manage £10 for the half hr? any takers??

i live in central london.
cheers people.

What do you want to know? Can you get on YouToob? There will probs be a ton of tutorials on there for nowt.

hi- thanks!

no- im really THAT incapable!
cheers anyway- ive been into apple and they tell me what to do- but im too embaressed to say i cant even update firefox. - im seriously un-techno. i just smile and leave....

i just cant follow instruction manuals, tutorials, verbal instructions etc-so i need someone to do it for me,
would also be willing to pay in baked goods- layer cake, brownies etc- delia recipies.

My 70+ year old mother went to a class held over 4 weeks at her local library.

Check out the library service near you, they may have starter courses.

No good if they don't use Macs (the Internet service that is offered is all based on Windows, so no use).

thanks, but i cant really cope w being around other ppl, i cant follow demos in classes at all- this is a common aspect of AS- it was even in my diagnostic tests- how one learns and teachers others, followng instructions etc. anyway....

also, they never cover macs at things like that anyway- im asking for help here so i dont have to explain to someone just how shamefully useless my AS makes me.
i just want to pay someone; its part of my AS taht i cant do this stuff- i cant learn it, no matter how simply its explained. im sure i can do a panoply of stuff IT experts cant do, but whatever- i just want to pay someone.
otherwise ill get someone out the yellow pages.

anyone interested in earning an easy tenner and helping me?

I'm unable to help you, unfortunately, because I'm northern scum. Have you thought about asking in the London meet-up thread? I know it's OT, but...

ha ha, ta, tequilla- id never use the 'northern scum' monica! tho would poss make comments abt clogs, canals, wigan pier etc.

tho tbf, nowt wrong w wigan- northern soul heartland ; D

nah, waiting for a london meet up's getting too complex, i just want someone to meet me in a pub. theres a mac repair shop, but i get such *looks* when i ask them to do stuff- i blush...
il find someone in the yellow pages.

..and I am even Northerner scum OP......good luck with meeting people without meeting them.

@cosmic- i thought 'northern' only referred to england. technically, you're foreign ;D

yes, i believe 'meeting people without meeting people' is the holy grail of AS life.

are there NO mac users in london who can help?

Indeed.



Try a Mac forum.

Depends on the definition. Can often encompass the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

If you could manage downloading something like TeamViewer anyone anywhere could help you, without having to actually "meet" them.
