    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...

    Install older OSX from disc to external drive under Mojave?

    Long story short: I need to reinstall FCP 7 so I can help a client while they transition to Premiere Pro (and need to refresh my memory of that software), but I've upgraded almost every Mac at my disposal to Mojave! I was planning on installing one of the older versions of OSX I have on disc to...

I'm using Profile Manager on Server (Version 5.1.5) and managed to block out System Preferences and all apps apart from Word. The thing that I'd also like to do is...

    MBP boots into recovery mode/Installation log showing error logs after restarting

    Yesterday I updated something through the MacBook Appstore. I really do not know what I was updating exactly. I only know it was in the AppStore.

    Installing Older OSX Onto High Sierra Partition

    Trying to install OSX 10.5.2(Leopard) from original install discs onto a separate partition. However, no luck as it just reboots to main partition. I'm not sure if there's any other way to get the install disc to run. Anyone know how I can get around this large gap in OS versions?
