    I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro that is currently running MacOS Sierra 10.12.6. I was wondering whether update the mac to High Sierra is a good idea in terms of performance. Actually my mac is very performing, considering the age and the fact that it is not the most recent model. Last year I...

    Handoff not working after upgrade to High Sierra

    My 5,1 Mac Pro has an upgraded WiFi/BTLE card. Continuity is fully working with handoff and AirPlay on Sierra. I have noticed that although the General Preferences still shows the option enabled, it stops working after upgrading to High Sierra. Is it working for anybody else?

While using it, the system is stable as long as I do not use the USB 3 ports on the CalDigit FASTA cards. I can live with that. But the inability to sleep and 3...

    Hi, I want to clean install High Sierra. The last time I did it, i formatted to APFS and enabled FV after OS installation. Remaning time for encryption was 14 hours vs 20 minutes on Sierra! This time, if I just format to APFS encrypted during clean install, FV will be enabled from the start...

    MS Excel 2011 can't save as other file formats in High Sierra

    I know it's deprecated, but I keep seeing people report "no problems" with MS Excel 2011 in High Sierra. It does seem to work fine for the most part, but it seems like I can no longer "save as" another format, like CSV, etc. That option is just plain missing in the Save dialog window. Does...

I figure I can spare 50GB on both drives for working files which should be immediately accessible from both Macs. Can...
