Hi all, I have not used the Messages app for about a year because it started giving me problems, especially with group messages and syncing with my other iDevices. So, I have had it turned off. I just updated my computer (early 2011 MBP) to High Sierra, and I read that there are some...

Hi Guys, I' just wanted to check with you if it's okay to upgrade to MacOS HighSierra? I know there were some issues in the beginning and there were also security related issues but I'm guessing that they are all resolved by now... Also if I do upgrade, do you think my Time Machine backing up...

Can anyone recommend to me a book or text referenced in the title? How about a book for High Sierra? I looked on Amazon and seems the missing manuals seem pretty good. Thoughts? Please advise thanks. :) Oh, I found "Terminal Crash Course" on my HD from 2014 and would like to get an updated one...

Hello, I have a 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running High Sierra. I would like to add a trackpad to it but I'm not a Mac person and I'm not sure which one would be compatible. I've seen a few on eBay but as I do not know which ones are compatible with this particular Mac I'd rather get some confirmation...

The info for my harddisk (ssd 256GB, rMB) says that there are files (ca 24GB) that can be removed but I don't know what or where those files are and how they got there in the first place. I've seen it before but normally it is not more than a few GB and after a reboot they could be gone but now...

Hello all, I found a few older threads from a couple of years back but much has changed in two years for MacOS. I work in a virtualized lab where we use Juniper connections to VPN in (Network Connect). I saw that Yosemite and JRE 7 broke this very old and unsupported piece of software. We'd...

As described in this official support document, it seems like Apple is deprecating a whole lot of features from macOS Server such as Web, DHCP, NetInstall, OpenVPN, Wiki, etc. This is a very bad news for those who, like me, rely on these features. We will have to install third party software...

My 2015 MBP has HS on it, generally works fine. Connects to wifi at home and pretty much anywhere with zero issues. But there's wifi in an office area near here that requires a password. Half of the time the MBP connects normally. The other half of the time the machine just keeps trying to...

I read old posts about this but never has anyone had a solution for it. What I mean is, when watching Netflix on Mac in fullscreen the gamma of the whole screen changes whenever the video has a drastic image change. Most noticeable when subtitles are enabled.

Whenever I restart my computer, this comes up: To use the "java" command-line tool you need to install a JDK I want to get rid of it, so I googled it and everyone tells me to install javaforosx.dmg, or jdk-9.0.4_osx-x64_bin.dmg, or jre-8u161-macosx-x64.dmg, etc.... When I double click on one...
