    Should I Update?

    I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, which is what it came with. I know that there is now Sierra. I decided, based on no real knowledge, that I should stick with El Capitan because that is what the machine came with. And I am additionally reluctant to switch since I bought a copy of El...

    New to Apple, OS install struggles

    Hi, I picked up a mid-2010 MBP from a pawn shop recently, and it's kicking my behind. I bought it with all of the previous owners data on it, but the drive was encrypted. I guess they didn't get the password from the guy who pawned it. Probably why I got it so cheap. I'm new to Mac, but pretty...
