    macOS Does Sierra change how java displays graphics?

    For the past couple of years, I've been developing a Java Swing application-- basically a vector graphics program. I've been working on it both before and after installing MacOSX Sierra, and I've noticed that some of the behavior is a bit strange. The code I use to detect a mouse press on a...

    How different/incompatible are El Cap vs Sierra USB Drivers?

    Super vague question here, but I don't have much choice... How likely are El Cap drivers to work with Sierra? I have a MIDI pedal that has an editor to set it up via USB. Support is shady at best, and so there's no great plethora of users to ask if they've tried it yet. My MacBook has been...

    Can't seem to find anyone with the same issue by searching. Anyone have the process "xpcproxy" take up over 100% CPU after installing Sierra?

    Aperture - can't access metadata screen after Sierra update

    This is super annoying. When I go into full screen mode, Aperture stops and I have to force quit. Should I be reporting this to Apple? If so, how? [EDIT] This thread is now located here, http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-12-sierra-post-bugs-and-fixes-here.1991731/page-6#post-23554718

    Mac Pro Early 2009

    As I found out when I went to download Sierra, my Mac Pro has been dropped from the list of Macs that will run Sierra. I have read here in the various forums that the Mac Pro can be "Flashed" with a newer software. As far as I can tell my Mac Pro is also known as a 4,1 and I guess it can be...

    MacOS Sierra - iMac won't restart

    I installed it on my 2012 iMac earlier seemed to be working OK (except for a volume problem in one app). I tried restarting and now I can't get past the splash screen - Apple logo and loading bar. Any ideas anyone or do I need to go to the Apple Store?

    I was concerned about Sierra being slow

    but it really isn't. Aside from the glaring differences (Siri), I don't even see much difference from El Capitan. Some tasks are even faster. My system specs: -- 21.5" iMac Mid 2011, Core i5 2.7GHZ, 16GB Ram, 1TB 7200RPM traditional hard drive (75% free space), AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB video...
