    Updating to El Capitan with older Mac Pro

    I have a 2012 Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I'm reluctant to give the thing up because I love have 4 SATA bays that I can use for swapping drives easily.

    Hi folks, just upgraded my MBP to El Capitan, and now I can't screen-share to it unless the firewall is down. Just to be clear, Screen Sharing is working fine by itself: clients cannot connect only when the default OS X firewall is active. I'm running no other firewall software, and my...

    macOS Help Installing C++ Library in El Capitan (boost)

    I have no experience with using other libraries in C++ other than the STL. I have been using clang++ for compiling small C++ codes and projects using Terminal commands with makefiles and rarely I've had to use XCode.
