    Mavericks usually understand the number pad on my standard keyboard and I don't have problems with browsers or most other programs. But on some Apple programs the number pad seems to confuse Mavericks. For example, the Calculator won't work properly - when I try to use it with the number pad...

    TimeMachine after OS upgrade

    I have recently upgraded from Mavericks to Sierra. Before the upgrade I turned off TimeMachine. Can I just turn it back on now or should I start over by erasing the drive and letting TimeMachine start fresh?
