    Mail app quitting a few seconds after launch (Sierra)

    I upgraded to Sierra a few days ago, and initially, it was fine. Everything seemed to be working. Yesterday, the Mail app quit unexpectedly and upon relaunching, will not stay open for more than a few seconds. Anyone else have this problem? And does anyone have a solution?

    Language issue with Sierra and Siri

    I am a swedish bloke living in Sweden however I still prefer my operating systems in English (its easier to find information on Google as one example), so I have installed Sierra with English language.

    Auto contrast - is this a new thing in Sierra?

    A few days after I had upgraded to Sierra I noticed my rMBP's screen looks a little washed out when dimmed. I've always kept it on lower brightness when possible, as my eyes can get a little sensitive, so I'm pretty sure this is a new thing. When the display is dimmed, the OS seems to be trying...

    Dock - single click or double click to show/focus

    I've been noticing that I have had to double click on the Dock icon to switch to or show a full screen app instead of single clicking. From what I can remember, in El Cap, I just had to click once? In Sierra, the single click just brings up the menu if there are no open windows for that...

    Any ideas for an iTunes alternative?

    Hey guys. I hate the new iTunes under Sierra. It seems it is just made to promote Apple Music. All the good features are gone. So I am considering to get an alternative player for my Mac. I need a small lightweight app that will play songs from my iTunes library. No need for Apple music, no...

    Photo analyzer not working

    I upgraded to Sierra and was looking forward to facial recognition. Only about 1/3 of my library has been "analyzed" and it seems to have stopped doing anymore. This is kind of puzzling because most people seem to be having the problem of it running too much. Any ideas on how I can get the...

    Has anyone noticed this problem? Every time I open my laptop from sleep since I've updated Sierra, I've had to input my password twice in order for it to be accepted.
