    Very strange issue on an iMac

    (As a side note, if you read my post about me “possibly wrecking my Mac,” this was happening before that so this isn’t a result of the possibly corrupted update.)

    Hello guys, I upgraded my late 2015 27" iMac to Monterey from Mojave. It's now taking some 5 minutes to startup from an external SSD. Mojave took less than a minute. What is going on here? Any ideas? Thanks

    Oh no... did I wreck my Mac?

    So, I rebooted my Late 2015 21.5-in iMac to install Rogue Amoeba's Piezo software. It was in an endless boot loop when it tried to start up again. I eventually unplugged it and plugged it back in. Then I pressed Power and it booted just fine (after 10 minutes that seemed like days.) I logged in...

    Force Quit: Bad or Good?

    I have a strange habit of force-quitting all of my apps by doing Cmd+Opt+Esc and pressing Enter a bunch. It's just convenient. But as long as all of my work is saved, is there any harm in force-quitting apps every single time I am done using them? Is it bad for my Mac? I just think doing a...
