    Desktop and Documents Disappeared!

    After I performed the update, my desktop files are gone. I had the desktop folder synced with iCloud. They don't seem to be on my Mac, but when I go to the iCloud Drive via web browser, all the documents are there. How can I get them to sync back with the computer? iCloud insists on uploading...

    Desktop switching bug

    Ever since I installed El Capitan, at random times the OS will switch from whichever desktop I'm working in to my main desktop. I can easily switch back to my previous desktop but it is annoying that it keeps happening. I don't know how to replicate the issue nor fix it. I've looked online for...

    Automatic window resizing

    I'm not sure if this feature was introduced in El Capitan or earlier but it's certainly been bugging me for a while. When grabbing a window on the top of its frame, if the mouse arrow drifts over the top menu bar, then the window resizes, not going full screen, but enlarging to the edges. To...

A lot of stuff on the desktop can therefore slow the system by consuming RAM unnecessarily. This was interesting news for me as I am not the tidiest person in the world and have a...

    Why Apple needs better Default Wallpapers

    I believe, there should be more focus on Default Apple wallpapers. Hear me out. Firstly.. Leopard and Snow Leopard OS's- those had some nice new wallpapers, for that time. Look, not everyone loved them, but they were at least fresh. But now.. half the desktop wallpapers are from 2-4 years ago...
