26th January, 2019.
Hmmm …
I have to admit, I do like my Apple products.
Really.
I’ve been quite the loyal one for some eighteen or so years.
Right at the moment, though, I have to admit to being one that’s mildly annoyed.
I’ve installed a recent set of updates: serious, security, ones that I discuss here.
The downside to those updates … ?
Simply put?
Is that, since installing those updates, my copy of iMovie is behaving distinctly badly: causing system hangs that only seem to clear up, if I force a restart, switching my machine on and off again.
Frankly?
As someone who relies on that app, I’m not exactly what you call happy.

And a national anthem …
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Morning, @Badwolf!
† Rarely goes into 1 figure temperatures? That decides it, Olga, where do I get Spanish citizenship … ?
‡ I’m glad that clears things up, Debbi! Oh, btw … ? Are you on Mojave? And getting issues with Final Cut Pro, or iMovie? iMovie’s behaving noticeably badly on macOS 10•14•3 … ! Badly enough for me to Tweet Tim Cook … ! (In the hope he’ll do a Jeff Bezos.)
Dear @tim_cook I think I have an issue that I’d like your opinion on.— Paul Downie (@Cuddy2977) January 26, 2019
I’ve just installed the #Mojave 10.14.3 update: with those important security updates.
*Since* then? I’ve had issues using iMovie: as my whole system hangs when rendering video with the app.

Well, things are a bit uncertain regarding Catalonia and Spain at the moment, but you'll find plenty of Brits wherever you go here. (Oh, I told you about the Russian visa, didn't I? I took my papers to the agency yesterday. Fingers crossed!)
And good luck on the i-movie thing.

I see that your nephew Jude has his own brand of Ice cream. When I was in the supermarket this morning I went to the freezer cabinets to pick up some frozen chips (fries for our north American friends). As I was there i looked at the large tubs of ice creams and the Jude brand had 3 different varieties. Come the summer months I may have to buy a tub of Jude's ice cream.
I haven't had problems post-upgrade. Have you tried calling Apple support?
