Dear Mr. de Souza,<br>
<br>
thank you for your email.<br>
I would appreciate being referred to as Mr. Bruschi.<br>
<br>
I have the latest version of TeXshop, operating on an iMac that is 2
years old.<br>
Notice that it worked flawlessly until Thursday last week.<br>
<br>
What happens now is that every time that I open a .tex file with
TeXshop, or just load TexShop per se, the computer becomes non
responsive, the Magic Trackped deacivates, the Bluetooth seems
particularly to fail, and the computer either works after some time,
freezes completely or restatrs on its own. I have never seen
anything like this in 14 years.<br>
<br>
I tried to reinstall MacTex and TeXshop but to no avail.<br>
<br>
I hope that you will help me with this.<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
David<br>

my name is David Edward Bruschi and I am a scientist at the

I have ben using Mactex and Teshop for 14 years on multipled
Apple <br>
devices, and I have had since today a very strange problem
with my iMac. <br>
This is a relatively new computer (2 years old) and had no
problems <br>
whatsoever until today.<br>
Since today, Texshop does not load and the Magic Tracpad
simultaneosuly <br>
connects and disconnects.<br>
<br>
I have never had such a problem on any computer, and the smae
<br>
configuration and setup worked flawlessly untile a last
Friday.<br>
<br>
Any hints at what I can do would be helpful.<br>
Best,<br>
