    Creating images using disk utility

    Hi community, my macbook pro can't boot up at all so I need to use macRecovery (cmd+R when turning on) and reinstall High Sierra from there. However, I'm concerned that doing so will delete my files on the HD. Unfortunately, I never once used TimeMachine. So I decided to use DiskUtility (DU)...

    mds_stores is hogging up GBs of memory

    mds_stores is hogging up GBs of memory. I guess it's related to spotlight indexing. With every boot, mds_stores just stat up and eat up RAM. Doesn't happen when I keep spotlight turned of via terminal. How do I stop this without turning off spotlight? Already tried creating new index via Onyx...

    Upgrade to High Sierra, or Stay on Low Sierra?

    I just recently received my 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 15". It's still on Sierra. Should I stay on Sierra, or is it safe to go to a non dev version of High Sierra? I was reading of the 560 issues with waking on High Sierra, and Im not sure if that was only a beta.

    High Sierra doesn't read burned music CDs

    I installed High Sierra on my iMac, and now it doesn't read any of the music CDs I've burned. Apple told me it is a permissions issue. It won't even play a music CD I used my High Sierra iMac to burn (with 3rd party software). Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    Hey! :D Anyone know why that vm-folder appeared with a swapfile? I think it happened after I upgraded to High Sierra but it could have been there before, not sure. I have a feeling it's not supposed to be in Macintosh HD? Can I delete it? :confused: Thanks!
