    Launchpad resets every time I log in

    I reset my launchpad because I was having problems, which worked but now it resets every time I log in. Having gone through the common recommendations in this reddit thread, it seems the problem is likely corrupted files. Most advice tells you to delete everything in ~/Library/Application...

    Hi all, I'm on El Capitan and have been experiencing this problem: Spotlight suddenly stopped searching for files and folders, only apps, contacts and other information showed up.

    I'm preparing to upgrade my MBP to OS-X 10.11.5 and would like to know whether my iPhone4 will still connect via USB, work normally and sync with iTunes on my MBP after I do that (OS details in thread title). An ancillary question is - is iTunes automatically updated with the OS-X upgrade and if...

    Building a fusion drive on El Capitan

    I'm sure this has been handled here before, but like a fool I can't find a search engine for the forum... I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with a failing HD running El Cap. I've already replaced the optical drive with a 500GB HD which I now realise was a bad idea as there's no shock...

    Big doubt on Sierra - my immediate thought after watching WWDC

    Let's have a look what Apple had promised And what Apple actually delivered Translation: Half of customers are pissed off. I think they are really redefining the number of unimpressed users of OS X. Now with the new incoming Sierra release where the emphasis on performance is not even close...

    After updating to 10.11.5 on my 13" rMBP, I've encountered an issue when logging out or shutting down the computer. The dock just won't die. This isn't the only dock related issue I've had since the update either. Although the update seems to have fixed system freezes (for some people), it has...
