Well, Hello from Mac Book Air aka BLUE aka MCBA5.
It’s my fifth iteration of Mac Book Airs. Officially known as FVHFD4SHQ6L4. When I spilled coffee on it, I bought MCBA6 aka ROSE while iBLUE was in for repair. When it came back, it was demoted to “spare”. From time to time, I’d fire it up and use it a little.
So the cockatoo got to ROSE and feasted on the keyboard. So I backed it up to portable hard drive in prep for the Apple Store.
Luckily it’s still has an active Apple Care. The repair is supposedly covered under accidental damage and will get a new keyboard. Yay. It’ll be back in a week or so.
No problem,! I’ll just fail over to BLUE.
Wow was that an over estimation of the process.
Now, I am a belt ’n’ suspenders guy. One is none; two is one; and three is bliss.
Sure. Unfortunately all the passwords were screwed up since my last use.
No problem it’s easy now to reset them using the Apple Account to reset them.
(Even my extra DUMMYADMIN account which has the same password across all my MCBXs was trashed?)
Of course, BLUE needs to update the OS and a whole load of apps.
No problem. After the FireFox update, all my settings were trashed.
No problem. I use Mozilla’s sync so it recovered all my settings. Almost.
All my extensions were not on the toolbar. Argh! After about a calendar day, I found the fix.
I’m now back to “business”. Until the next troll, gremlin, or bug pops up.
(Imagine if I didn’t use BLUE for one day on the First of Every Month. Argh!)
YMMV!
