    Prohibitory sign after Sierra update, unmountable partition

    Hello. Yesterday I decided to update to Sierra from El Capitan on both the disks on my Macbook Pro (mid 2012); the update on my SSD went without a hitch so I decided I'd update my other disk, too.

    Resolved Is my MBP logic board fried? [video]

    I restarted my MBP 15" early 2013 (running OSX 10.11.4) and the loading screen froze and displayed a long series of white text across the left side of the screen. I forced a shut down (by pressing and holding power button), waited a few mins and then turned it back on. It loaded fine, but I'm...

    Hello, My grandad gave me his old 2007 iMac last year, i have been using it since and it works just fine, the only problem is that it can't play back 60fps (stutters ALOT), this is due to the underpowered graphics card (specs below).
