Question from Keisha L.: I’ve been using Apple Music for several years but I recently signed up for a different service that I like better.
Since I don’t use Apple Music anymore I’d like to cancel my subscription. The problem is I don’t know how.
Can you tell me what I need to do in order to cancel my Apple Music subscription?

Question from Liam: My wife and I recently went to a flea market to look for some things for our house.
I ended up buying a used Lenovo ThinkPad T400 with Windows 7 on it.
It’s obvious that it’s a pretty old laptop but it seems to work well.
I didn’t notice it when it was running at the flea market but there’s a message in the corner of the screen saying “This copy of Windows is not genuine”.
What does that mean? Is it a problem? [Read more…]
Question from Curtis: I have a quick question for you.
I followed your instructions to see who is following me on Facebook and I saw that I indeed have a bunch of followers.
When I click on their names to look at their profiles I can only see the info on some of them. The other profiles have a message that says:
DO YOU KNOW [XXXXXX]?
To see what he/she shares with friends, send him/her a friend request.
I’m confused. If they’re following me shouldn’t I be able to see the stuff on their profile?
Also, do you recommend that I block those people just in case their profiles are infected with a virus or something?

Question from Gene: Rick, is there any way to block app invites from just one friend on Facebook while still allowing other people to send them to me?
I read your post explaining how to block ALL app and game requests on Facebook, but I don’t want to do that.
I just want to block the app requests from one specific person. She’s driving me nuts trying to get me to use an app that I really don’t want to use.
I don’t want to block her completely or unfriend her. All I want to do is block her stupid app requests.

Question from Marge: I’ve used the desktop version of MS Office for years, but I recently switched to Microsoft 365.
It took me a few days to get used to it but I believe I’m going to like it ok. There’s one thing that I need help with though.
Every time I create a new document in any Microsoft 365 app and tell it to save the file it always saves it to OneDrive.
I don’t feel comfortable using online storage, for several reasons. Is it possible to make Microsoft 365 save my files to my computer’s hard drive instead of to OneDrive? [Read more…]
