Gaaah!!!
I’m trying to fill out the online SEISS, #5, and top up my appallingly paltry earnings for this year. And my sorghum-stenches are pretty dire.
But ye aulde computer is running so awfully slowly, and loads of stuff just plain doesn’t work.
For example, trying to import photos from my iPhone (6S), using Photos, well… ’tis broke, innit!? First I was being a doofus, and wondering why my iPhone wasn’t launching photos, or appearing in photos when launched manually. The answer? It was plugged into a USB port that is charging only, and not actually connected to the iMac… Double-doh!!
So, once connected to the iMac, directly, it does appear, and it does launch Photos. Although Photos never finds the library I’ve specified, which is on an external hard-drive. I always have to manually select it, which is pain and a waste of time. Anyhoo, trying to import into Photos is either so slow, or simply doesn’t work!!! So I wind up having to do it using Image Capture, which means I might as well import all the photos/videos off my iPhone, as this way the Image Capture software doesn’t know what’s already in Photos and what isn’t.
I really need a new Mac! But I cannae afford one. And I’m finding the fifth SEISS application a real pain as well. Unlike the previous four, which were simplicity itself, this one requires one to supply more information, and demonstrate the loss of earnings. But, as with everything for me right now, that’s far from simple, as I switched from having an accountant – which I can no longer afford (been that way for years, just finally conceded to the facts!) – to filing online myself.
