Recently Time Machine takes forever to back to my 1TB external. There's still about 320GB of space, so I am not sure why this is happening.

I went ahead and deleted old backups that I can see in the TM folders. These are from ten years ago and not needed anymore. Even now, however, it seem to be taking too much time to backup.

Finder not responding

I've restarted & rebooted as per the various instructions on the Net.
I've applied the remedies in Terminal & Activity Monitor.
Reinstalled OS twice.
Please help!

P.S. I'm unable to attach the Finder "error report".png. Here...

This morning, I purchased a refurbished iPhone 16 (128gb) online for £589 from the Apple store. I never thought to look at what a new phone would cost, so I am puzzled when checking this evening that I could have bought a new 17e for just £10 more, and it has twice the memory! What am I missing here? Is there some major benefit in the 16 that is not in the 17e?

On my iMac, I am trying to log into my Virgin Mobile account but I keep getting told that there is a problem accessing this.

I can log in on my Android phone and my iPad Air gen 3 with no issues. I want to get in with the Mac because that is the only one that I can print from.

Any ideas? Thanks
