    Newest macOS and Adobe

    Hello: I'm still working with Adobe Creative Suite CS6 in OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion -Early 2009 iMac-). I had no complaints in these ten years; however this version of macOS is becoming obsolete (currently I'm unable to update Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Dropbox, etc). Seems like it's time to...

    Resolved Graphical glitches with certain cards (ports? cables?)

    On a 5,1 I have three cards: 1080ti in the bottom slot, 1080ti in the next usable slot up (2?), then an m4000 in one of the top two slots. If I plug my screen into any card/port other than the 1080ti in slot 2, the macOS gui is glitchy/ghosting/slow/not correct. I'm using display port cables...

    SOLVED // Issue updating to 10.14.4

    Update seems to have been downloaded, but after clicking "Update Now" in Software update, MBP reboots fully, but the update isn't installed. Navigating back to Software update shows that 10.14.4 is still availble, and the cycle continues. Is there something I'm missing?

    What's Wrong With Volume Scroll ?

    Is something seriously broken with Mojave Volume ? If I scroll fast (mouse or trackpad), the slider moves to the intended position but the volume level remains unchanged. Example: If on MacBook pro 2017 Mojave I suddenly scroll up volume from 50% to 100% with magic mouse or trackpad, the volume...

    "Never sleep"... but it sleeps?

    Hey all, I've re-purposed my 2011 MBP17 to run iTunes, amongst other things, for our AppleTVs in the house. Every so often videos won't load, or the iTunes library just disappears completely on the AppleTV, and the "solution" is to hit a key on the keyboard to wake it up, which solves the...

    Looking to add more RAM to my late 2014 8gb iMac...which configuration would be better?

    This might be a really dumb question but will it make a big difference if I add 16gb (8gb x 2) to the empty two slots on my iMac or would it be just as fast adding 8gb (4gb x 2)? I hear different things about RAM and I have heard in some situations if you have different size RAM there is not a...

They took it apart and forgot to plug the battery back in, and then quoted her for like $400 to fix it, plus shipping. Ridiculous. I...
