Can't get retrieve files from Carbonite because I switched from PC to MAC. Their tech support offers no useful help. Ideas?
Apparently due to server is PC and can't talk to my new MAC. Don't have a PC avail (died) to use for download.
Carbonite doesn't warn that switching platforms results in inability to retrieve files. What did I pay for all these years?!
