    Finder Is Running Slow

    I have just upgraded from El Capitan to Sierra (10.12.4) and I'm still getting slow Finder response - whether using an Open File dialog, or just a Finder window - unless I've been to that folder previously, it sits there thinking for ages. I had this issue when i tried Sierra on the Public Beta...

    AmazingHenry's PowerPC Projects Thread

    All my PowerPC projects! :) Tiger Sierra Theme Before LeopardRebirth was out, I was making a Sierra theme for personal use. Once LeopardRebirth came out, some people requested a Sierra Theme for Tiger. It wasn't hard to adapt my theme to Tiger, so I did that and released it. Get it on the...

    Hello there, I just received a 2012 5,1 (12c 3.46ghz/64gb/500 & 1TB SSDs/GT 120 (soon to be replaced obviously)) The system would not boot the Sierra USB stick installer I made per Apple's instructions.

    Sierra disabled password requirement on DiskImages ?

    Hi! In the last round of updates, it seems Apple has decided I no longer need to enter a password to open my encrypted (dmg) disk images. I can now open them without having to enter my password! How did this happen ?! I use encrypted disk images as an extra layer of security, but that seems to...

    2 computers and 1 timemachine backup?

    I spend about 1/2 the year in the US and the other half in the EU. Instead of bringing a computer with me when I travel, my plan is to have a computer in each place and just carry an external drive and backed up Time Machine files with me as I go from one place to the other. For example, I...

    MBP 2015 doesn't handle well an empty battery

    Something is happening with my MBP 2015. When the battery gets empty the machine doesn't go to deep sleep (or whatever the name was) like my old MBP 2011. Today I was working on the plane on battery power. I received the usual low battery warning but decided to continue working as I was...

    OS X Recent SDLMAME 3D game performance

    Hi, had a search around the forum but couldn't find anything on this topic. I'm experiencing very low frame rates (seems like about 2fps) in 3D games such as Ridge Racer 2 in SDLMAME, on Sierra 10.2.3. The 2D menu screens before the race work at full speed, but once into the actual race...

    After updating to 10.12.4 my MacBook pro sometimes locks up and has to be restarted by holding down the power button. The mouse and the trackpad lock up as well. This happened to me after an earlier update and i guess was fixed after a subsequent update. Anyone else having this issue with...

    How to stop Mail from automatic "mark as read" behavior? (in Sierra)

    Hi! I'm curious if there's a way to deactivate the feature/behavior in Mac Mail where mail is automatically marked as read when clicked (I want it to remain unread until I click otherwise). I know that I can use the "Classic View" to remove the preview feature, but that doesn't accomplish what...

    I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, which is what it came with. I know that there is now Sierra. I decided, based on no real knowledge, that I should stick with El Capitan because that is what the machine came with. And I am additionally reluctant to switch since I bought a copy of El...
