    Should I stay on Sierra

    Ok, this might sound stupid, but besides the aesthetics and gimmicks, what am I missing out on if I stick to Sierra on my MBP. The only reason I haven't updated so far is that I am afraid of my machine getting slower. Appreciate some feedback and/or advice... Tnx!

    iPhone SE (2016) iPhone activation notification?

    Backstory: My mother once gave me her old iPhone and forgot about it. Her iCloud account is still linked to this phone and she now has nothing to do with me anymore. :/ Since then I've opened the phone periodically to see pictures of my family and nephews that I otherwise won't get to see at...

    When will my MacBook Pro stop getting software and security updates?

    Hope this is okay to post here! I got passed down a Late 2013 i7 2.3 GHz DG Retina MBP from my uncle. I was wondering when I will stop getting updates on this machine? Will I get MacOS 10.15, 10.16 etc and when will it stop getting vital security updates? Thank you!

    MacUpdated suggests "updates" for non installed app

    Dear friends, I have "mac updater" app (or macupdater) which worked well but for now I have 2 concerns: 1. After it updated some apps lost their ability to be updated on their own. 2. Today macupdater suggested to "update" the Setup.app which I never had. Could you please share your thought...

    SOLVED // Issue updating to 10.14.4

    Update seems to have been downloaded, but after clicking "Update Now" in Software update, MBP reboots fully, but the update isn't installed. Navigating back to Software update shows that 10.14.4 is still availble, and the cycle continues. Is there something I'm missing?

    List of upgrades I would like to see in the iMac and iMac Pro Lineups. What are your upgrades?

    The iMac and iMac Pro current design chassis is very out dated internally and externally. The thick gross bezels are intolerable to me. Part of the reason we buy a mac is for the form and design of the machine. Apple has failed us with the aged face of the design (Chin, thick bezels etc) and...
