sierra

I have an early 2015 MacBook Air. Not long after getting it (with El Capitan), Sierra came out. I was a little antsy about updating the OS but went ahead and did it. Have had no problems. Now High Sierra is coming out, and I am even more antsy about updating to it. But I have a question in...

Hello I bought my 13 inch MBP (2.4ghz i5, 4gb RAM, 500 SATA HDD) in 2011 with OSX 10.7 preinstalled. It worked super well back then, and eventually it was put in a closet for 3 years due to the emergence of my parent's old powermac g5, which I began to use as my primary mac. After 3 years of...

Hello. So I'm been trying to upgrade from 10.12.1 to 10.12.6 today on my MacBook Pro. Despite the "About this Mac" section showing 10.12.1, no Update is showing in the App Store and I've checked for unfinished downloads. So I downloaded the .dmg direct from Apple and when I come to install...

Hi! I recently upgraded from OS X Mavericks to OS X 10.12.6 Sierra. It hasn't been painless unfortunately, but so far, knock wood, I think I have most bugs solved by reinstalling the operating system & system files. One of the bugs which has not gone away is this error message whenever I...

My mouse has been jumping around. The thing is, the mouse would jump around even with the PREVIOUS mouse. What are some typical issues that would explain this problem? Thanks

My Macbook Pro mid 2012 is running very slow after updating to OS Sierra. i just ran Hardware Test on my MacBook and got the following error : Alert! Apple Hardware test has detected an error. 4SNS/1/40000000: VPOR-19.763 What does this mean ? How should I know that which part is damaged ?

I installed IINA. From Command+I I set IINA as default media player for the *.mkv files but the finder is still showing the VLC icons in the preview. How do I manually refresh them ? P.S. I already tried restarting. Didn't help.

For a whole bunch of reasons, I recently reinstalled macOS Sierra on my MacBook Pro, and set it up as a new Mac - for all intents and purposes. I have my iCloud fully logged in and all services have been restored, apart from Bookmarks. For whatever reason, Safari is refusing to retrieve any...

Hi, I hope some beta users can help me. The Photos app in High Sierra has a new "edit with" feature, to edit a photo in an external app and automatically save the edits back into photos. In all the reviews about this feature, they only mentioned apps like Photoshop, Pixelmator or Affinity. But...

My wife's mid-2010 iMac is currently on Yosemite. She's overdue for an upgrade, obviously. She has the requisite 8GB ram and SSD. Is it OK to skip over El Capitan, and install Sierra directly on top of Yosemite? I wasn't planning to do a clean install, though I am willing to listen to...

I have an early 2009 white Macbook running El Capitan so I want to upgrade to Sierra. I looked at update requirements for Sierra and got "late 2009" for Macbook. Has anybody done this unauthorized upgrade?

I have the Razer Naga Epic Chroma. It does not play well with Sierra. There's back and forth info about it, but it's causing repeated kernel panics and I have decided it just no longer will work and I'm DONE messing with it. That said, can anyone recommend a number-pad mouse, wire or wireless...

Recently my MacBook Pro from 2011 refuses to go to sleep. Regardless if I have my Cinema display attached or not. Regardless if I close the lid or chose the sleep command in the menu bar. The Mac always restarts after some time it was trying to go to Sleep Mode. Then the system shows me the...

The advent of SIP was another step into the walled garden that Apple wants its users to dwell in, doing not much more as pondering how to best spend more money on Apple products. If Sierra would have been a well designed and developed OS then SIP might have been actually a welcome hardening...
