    macOS Big Sur on cMP 5,1

I have...

    Big Sur and now bricked iMac late-2015

    Hi guys, I went against my usual practice of upgrading to a new OS without waiting a while before doing so and now I have a bricked iMac. I bought a new iPhone and iTunes wasn't letting me back my current phone up and tech support told me it was likely because I needed to upgrade to Big Sur...

    Put newly purchased songs at the beginning of a playlist.

    Each year I have a playlist where I keep the newly purchased/ripped songs. I prefer to have them at the top/beginning of that playlist so I can access them quickly, but dragging them to a playlist puts them at the bottom of the list. Is there a way to place them at the top/beginning of a...

    Internet Radio in Music

    There used to be an "Internet Radio" section in the iTunes sidebar; how do I find those without an Apple Music subscription. I can access the ones I placed in a playlist, but I cant find the master list. I'm currently on Catalina, but will have BigSur on my M1.

    PowerBook G3 to M1 MacBook Pro - We sure have come a long way!

    I have to admit, this something I have been looking forward to comparing. Although they are not technically equals since the Wallstreet predates OS 10.0 by a few years, its a G3 that's a supported model. But when some of us complain about the constant progress of innovation, we have a lot to be...
