sierra

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...

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...

I'm in dire need of some help. Is there anyway to get past having to enter my password to access my external hard drive that I have connected to Time Machine? I used it to backup some files last year and the password I use for everything isn't working to unlock the hard drive. Is there a way...

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...

Due to some (minor) trouble with the running system i recently upgraded from Mavericks to Sierra. But as I wasn't really happy with the changes in the os and the still occurring software problem (md worker, quick look, spotlight) i decided to downgrade by using an old time machine backup. Ever...

On Chrome there are dozen of extensions that allow youtube video to be played "full-window". the player width will match the browser window width. But on Safari I can't find such extensions.

Has anyone else experienced this very strange graphics issue with the new MacBook Pro 15" with touchbar? This happened when I was working in Adobe Premiere CC 2017. Upon reboot, the screen would then flicker almost as if it was a low refresh rate. I've included a photo of what the screen looks...

macOS sierra 10.12.1 Hello, I've googled for answers for this, but whenever i google Mac OS Sierra Documents Folder View all i get is stuff about icloud, which doesn't concern me since i don't use icloud what i need is how to get the view of my documents folder back to normal. When i...

Hi I think it is new in Sierra that files in the Downloads folder are grouped by month, and then by year. I can't see a way to disable this. Anyone know? Thanks.

I'm on Sierra version 10.12 and when I try and mirror to my AppleTV I get audio but no image. I tried this with my iPhone and both the audio and visual is fine which eliminates connection issues from the Apple TV to my TV. Any help on what settings etc I need to change on my 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...

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...

Hi Since upgrading to OS Sierra, iTunes constantly crashes. 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'. I have reinstalled iTunes & reinstalled Sierra, but the issue...

Ever since Apple dropped PPTP support, I can't connect to my company's VPN servers. A lot of PPTP supported VPN don't work well and are really buggy. 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...

Ever since Apple dropped PPTP support, I can't connect to my company's VPN servers. A lot of PPTP supported VPN don't work 100% and are really buggy. I thought about buying Parallels 12 and then connecting through PPTP on Windows, but that seems like a hack. Does anyone know if this works or an...

The wallpapers dont move when swiping between desktops.

Ive got a late 2013 high-end (at the time) 15' macbook pro. Now it's on macOS sierra I use native resolution which mimics 1440*900 resolution but everything is just too big, I tried upscaled (1680*1050) about a day (with a 2560*1080 monitor hooked up) it looks fantastic and the size of the UIs...

So I signed in to Chrome on my Mac and set it as my default browser (since Safari on Sierra takes literally ten seconds to even begin loading a page, and Firefox doesn't support Google Sheets). Now Safari and my iPhone have had everything I've ever bookmarked in Chrome dumped into their...
