    What's the 'createinstalmedia' Terminal Command for Sierra?

    Hello, I searched macOS Sierra's Terminal command to create a USB bootable installer but Apple's official Terminal command to create bootable macOS installer skips Sierra for some strange reason (after El Capitan, it skips to High Sierra- very strange, why'd Apple skip Sierra?) even though if...

    Resolved Assistance on if Sierra is compatible with these requirements.

    Migrating from iPhoto to... what?

    I have an iPhoto library that contains about 65,000 images. I rely heavily on iPhoto's proprietary features, and have been since I started using the first version of iPhoto when Apple released it well over a decade ago. Apple's concept of a well-designed "digital shoebox" has proven itself...

    Sierra on 2007 MacBook Pro?

    Does anyone know of any workarounds to get Sierra running on a 2007 MacBook Pro? I think the computer would run it fine if I could actually install it.
