    Since Sierra upgrade, can't write to backup drives

    I have a few external USB drives I use for running backups with my MacBook (in addition to Time Machine). Since upgrading to Sierra, my permissions have changed: I can no longer write to them, just read them. They are NOT NTFS-formatted, so that's not the issue (and again, I'd been writing to...

    Disabling Journalling for external drive

    I'm trying to attach a usb flash drive to our modem/router (some Technicolor monstrosity our ISP insists on) for sharing files between my mac and my mother's. To attach storage, the external drive needs to be formatted to Mac OS Extended/HFS+ (Not Journaled), but Disk Utility does not allow...

    Problems using new MBA

    I wasn't sure to post this here or in the MacSierra 10.12 forum. I chose this forum. I just bought my MBA and transferred all of my files that I had backed up from an external hard drive. That took nearly a day. When I logged in this morning, the MBA asked me if I wanted to back up...

    Safari - Beachball when clicking on saved password fields.

    Did a search and noticed a few people on Sierra had this but no answer yet. Will file a radar with Apple but worth posting here too. It doesn't happen on all my Sierra computers, in fact it only happens on the new MacBook Pro, which I restore from a Carbon Copy Clone of my 'old' MacBook Pro...

    Mirroring not working with Mac

    On macOS Sierra if you do 3/4 fingers swipe up/down to trigger mission control/exposé, you fingers have to go a very long range to make the animation done. otherwise it will bounce back. And, if you do a "swipe and leave" gesture like before, the animation takes too long to get there unless you...

    Is there a way to turn off the "stick" feature on macOS Sierra?

    On osx Sierra apple added a new feature that is when you move a window close to another it will stick the edges together (sorry about my crappy English I don't know how to describe this but I think you get the idea), which is so annoying since you cant adjust the windows location until you drag...

I cannot restart my Mac-mini (2012) without physically holding the power key to get it to shut down as iTunes prevents it from shutting down even after using 'force quit'.

For example, Shimo VPN connects but only 20% of things work. I thought about buying Parallels 12 and then connecting through PPTP on Windows, but...
