    iCloud Keychain not syncing down to Keychain Access

    I recently had my iMac hard drive upgraded (High Sierra, 10.13.6), and afterwards have had a problem with Keychain Access. Despite several attempts to turn off/on keychain and iCloud on my iMac, I can't seem to get Keychain Access (and therefore Safari passwords) to pull my saved iCloud...

    I may be switching to a Windows PC, any advice?

    Hi all. I am considering selling my MacBook Pro and building my own gaming/workstation PC. My rationale is that my MacBook Pro sits docked for the majority of the time and so I might as well switch to a desktop. The Mac mini and iMac could fit my needs but it is a fact that I can build a more...

    Should I stay on Sierra

    Ok, this might sound stupid, but besides the aesthetics and gimmicks, what am I missing out on if I stick to Sierra on my MBP. The only reason I haven't updated so far is that I am afraid of my machine getting slower. Appreciate some feedback and/or advice... Tnx!

    Best OSX and Windows version for Bootcamp

    I am planning to format my MacBook Pro to where I can easily switch from OS to OS remotely. That said the latest doesn’t work for me, where you need to physically press the option key after rebooting to select the boot options. I know that apfs started on High Sierra which requires pressing...

    Keep getting errors when using my Calendar

    Whenever I try to use the Calendar app on MacOS Mojave, I keep getting a "the server responded with an error" and "The URL https://p50-caldav.icloud.com/1044137595/principal/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct." What might be causing this?

    Why Mojave is a 2-year OS

    Here is my take, I have 5 systems that are my main Macs that I use everyday. I have 3 of those systems that have extensions and apps that are lingering 32-bit still. I have 1 of those Macs that does have Catalina Beta installed but that's just a checker. So the situation is, by the time next...

    MS Windows-like windows management

    Sorry for the run-on title. Long time Apple user on iOS side, not MacOS user for a while now. Set to go back to MacOS for desktop as well. One thing I like and appreciate about MS Windows is the ease of managing multiple windows - use WinKey+arrow and windows snap immediately to quadrants or...

    Is Catalyst a (partially) defensive move?

    Hello everyone. I've been thinking about Catalyst and Apple's reasoning behind it. Some of it seems obvious: make devs' lives easier, increase software availability on macOS and consequentially sell more Macs. So at first glance this seems to be a "power" move in the sense that Apple with the...

    Being disabled, I am itching to try out Catalina and the Voice Control Feature. When would you recommend I try the beta. Now? Wait for Mid-July to early-August? Thanks. Speaking of betas, I saw a thread earlier about someone complaining that some apps were broken in beta 2. LOL. Obviously he...

    Catalina on MacBook Pro 2017 13" TB

    Any brave souls out there testing the public beta on the said device? Looking for some info on experience of it such as.. if it makes the device any slower "snappiness" for quick day to day tasks and other sorts, that requires short bursts of CPU.
