Mylotters, I received my new phone today via Fed Ex. I've just set it up and got it activated with my new airtime service plan. I was able to transfer my old phone number to my new phone successfully. I still wished my Tracfone had a SIM card than a SIM number. So after I recharge my phone this afternoon, I'm going to get my phone set-up with email, phone book and contacts, and then my apps later tonight or tomorrow. Since it's going to rain tomorrow after church with a 50% of a t-storm, I'm bringing a baggie with me, in case I'm not able to get a ride. But I hope to get arrange one tonight.
As for my computer, it has been about 2.5 months since I've been stuck in safe mode. And when I had problems with my Twittter desktop app all day yesterday (not responding nor opening) and this morning, I rebooted my computer and pressed the buttons for P&R, like I was instructed to this spring by Apple. So far, I haven't had any computer/mouse freezes, since I normaly last ten minutes in safe mode. It's been about 3 hours and no troubles at all. I hope it stays this way and works out of safe mode. At least this computer miracle might save me some trouble from buying/replacing a new computer real soon. I don't want to jinx it. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed this summer.

@KristenH Yes probably so, because it really is a miracle with the computer.

@Tina30219 That's for sure. Took me a hour or so. I agree. I don't ever want to be in safe boot ever again.

Me too. So far so good with my computer. As for the phone, it's set up for now with a few apps. At least it didn't take me long this time around.

@KristenH I wonder if a repair place could get it fixed for you

@RasmaSandra I do use Safari and Chrome as back-up browsers, whenever Firefox quits on me. Firefox has been quitting on me before I had computer issues last fall.

Me too. So far so good for the past 24 hours or so. I wonder what took it so long to behave and become unstuck after numerous attempts and failed tries...
