    Drag attachments to Mail stopped working in Sierra

    In earlier versions of the OS I could drag a file from Finder on top of the Mail icon, press space and Mail would open, and I could continue the dragging there.

    Store in Cloud problem: Can certain folders be exempted?

    The automatic "Store in Cloud" in OSX Sierra is a great feature, and I'd like to keep it, but I'm running into a problem: I work as a video editor and sometimes folders that I need locally get uploaded to the cloud. They're things like textures that the software accesses infrequently, but which...

    Sierra Memory Usage

    Since the upgrade, I've noticed macOS doesn't like to give up memory as easily.

    Right after I upgraded to OS X Sierra, I started having an issue when my MBP would overheat when I close the lid and put it in a bag. It seems like it doesn't go to sleep with the lid closed (not sure if the sleep mode works at all). I have already tried resetting SMC and NVRAM. I have also...

    So, I'm using Pages to create a Cornell Notes template with text boxes for each question and answer. Whenever I try to move one of the text boxes either by duplicating or copy and paste, the text box moves about half way up the page. Has anyone else experienced this?
