    Marshmallow battery drain?

    Hello- I'm noticing a pretty significant battery drain issue after updating to Marshmallow. In particular, I see "Media Server" as the biggest battery drain culprit when I go into the battery settings. What is this and why is it eating so much juice?? Thanks for any guidance.

    iMac won't recognize GS6 in Finder

    Can anyone tell me why my iMac won't "see" my S6 under "Devices"? I know Samsung and Apple don't play well. Is this a common problem and is there a way to fix it? When I plug the phone into a USB port, the phone charges, but the computer doesn't see it.
