    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. 😂

    MacPro 5,1 macOS Catalina/Big Sur boot on RAID with OpenCore

    I have read through the forums and it looks like it is impossible at this moment. @tsialex told me condescendingly that OpenCore doesn't just magically make this possible (For context: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/post-30067481). That ended the...

    Transfer WiFi Passwords from "System" keychain to "Local Items" (aka, iCloud) Keychain

    For reasons I am not sure, years of saved WiFi passwords are on my Mac under the System keychain, meaning they are not syncing to my iPhone over iCloud Keychain. I cannot figure out a way to move these items to the Local Items keychain, which is the iCloud Keychain. Dragging and dropping...
