    MacBook Ice Ice Baby.

    Hey, so this is irrelevant regarding my MacBook as it's way out of date, but it can run High Sierra still using Colins tool and could still be an excellent option for web browsing on the go. My MacBook is a 5,1 so it's the first aluminum Unibody and is (generally) no different than the following...

    macOS Do you have to be on the latest MacOS for Xcode?

    I'm using my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" to develop apps and games with Xcode. Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to run monterey since my MacBook is too old. Would it be best to buy a new Mac or is there any other way to get around this? I guess it's possible to wait and use the older...

    Upgrade 2017 iMac to Catalinna or Big Sur

    I'm a light user, primarily focused on stability and security rather than performance. I'm still running High Sierra on my 2017 iMac and Mojave on my 2017 MacBook. Should I upgrade to Catalina or directly to Big Sur? The only new features I care about at all are modest interest in...

    Mac OS forces me to restore?

    So my old iPhone got smashed, and I got a new one from my insurance and set it up as a new device, to get a new slate. However, when I connect it to my mac, these are the only options I get, and I don't want either of them. Is there any way around this? I just want to add files on VLC. ?
