    Netflix on Mac gamma flicker whenever the picture changes

    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. Every time the subtitle turns on and...

    Should I upgrade to macOS High Sierra?

    Hello, unlike past years, during which I've been always the first in line to upgrade to the newest macOS, this time I decided to wait a bit and it seemed like a good option. As you may recall, there's been a lot of news about High Sierra's security problems, as well as Office 365 performance...

    Does Restoring a Time Machine Backup Repair the OS?

    Ok I understand I can reinstall Mac OS from the Command + R Menu and the OS is reinstalled without touching (we hope) my files unless I erase the disk first. However, what if I just choose to restore a Time Machine Backup? Is any disk repair or OS repair performed or is it just a clone of the...

    MacOS High Sierra New SSD

    I have an early 2015 13in Retina display MacBook Pro (A1502) that I purchased from Goodwill. It did not have a hard drive. I have one on the way, but it's not Apple OEM so I know the MBP will not recognize it without the firmware update required by High Sierra. I've been running the MBP from...

    HS and Mac PRO 6,1 freezing solution possibly

    From the Terminal run "caffeinate -isd" and leave the window open but out of the way. It seems to have cured the random screen freezing in High Sierra where everything would continue working after the screen in focus froze while leaving the mouse to move about. These freezes seemed to have...
