Hello everyone! I found my husband's thread on here about our marriage problems and it's helped me make a very necessary decision. So I'm very thankful for MacRumors.
Welcome to all the new members. You'll have a lot of fun discussing in the communities with all the amazingly smart people in these forums. Feel free to PM me if you have questions about the site (or anything really). I'm pretty active in the iPhone / iOS / jailbreaking / programming / forums, so Hope to see you there!

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. After years working with the whole Microsoft thingy I've finally gone down the Mac / Pro Tools route and have to say my DAW is running better now. Hope to pick up a few Mac tips here....Thanks
Hi, I've been an Applehead since 2008 when I had the 13.3 white macbook, 2.4 Ghz 4gig with snow leopard, I could not install any more upgrades so I opted for the new 2012 model. You can't upgrade the newer MB's, everything soldered in so I went with the MD101LL/A model. It has all the upgraded hardware other than the processor which 2.5Ghz is fine for me, I installed 16 gigs of ram, a new SSD and I'm very happy with the purchase. BB gave me 128$ for my old white MB, I thought that was excellent, I couldn't have gotten that from eBay.
At first with the old HHD it started El Capitan in 52sec's which was awful and after installing the new SSD it dropped to 13sec's. I couldn't believe the difference, this MBP zips through and is very snappy. Well enough of that, I'm from B'ham AL and been here for 40 year of my 54 yrs. I was kicked off of Mac Forums for asking a question about a website that sold Apple computers and the reason they gave me was spamming, I had problems with one mod there, his name was P some 3 and I referred to his as P3 so maybe that pissed him off. O'well I hope MR's mods aren't so hard.

The mods here are excellent. You'll rarely see them in action as most of their work is behind the scenes, but the few times where I've reported inappropriate postings (like full blown racism in an iPhone thread), they've responded quickly and without creating unnecessary drama. Just be respectful of them as they do a lot of work that goes unappreciated on a massive forum
Looks like Macrumors loves you too with your 14 likes and only 21 posts. Keep contributing and making this forum great!
Its kinda crazy cuz I'm popular (haha song lyrics)
Its a good community. Between this and more, I prefer the more open and liberal (irony since I'm conservstive) aspect of macrumors!
Well, I just joined this forum last night, and I've only owned my MacBook Pro for a week. So many questions, and so many "issues" in getting my MacBook to run as it should - but I've been doing this long enough that I expect that from computers nowadays.
Eventually, Apple Tech Support figured out most of the problems, and the one they couldn't fix I (eventually) sorted out on my own.
What led to my being here is a page I read about an even newer version of my operating system, "Sierra" if I remember correctly, but while I did sign up to join the development team, I had second thoughts, as if I found a new problem, I wouldn't know if it was because of my lack of understanding, a problem in my computer, or a bug in the new software.

welcome mm, it's been interesting here and the crew is excellent to say the least, much more pleasant than the other place
First off welcome to the community!
Sierra is the new version of Mac OS (previously named Mac OS X). It is currently in beta, so it is not recommended to run it on your main computer unless you are willing to put up with random and often frustrating bugs. That said, if you do choose to install the public beta, there are thousands of people on the forums willing to help you work through any issues you have.
I was tempted to install it - it can't be all THAT bad, but since I barely know my way around the MacBook, I wouldn't know if any problems I encountered were due to the new beta, or my ignorance of how things are supposed to work.
So, OX X is changing to "Mac OS" ?? Didn't know that.
To do things right (as I see it) I need to get a docking station, so all my thingies are attached simultaneously. Unless I find a good reason to do otherwise, I'll probably get the CalDigit TS2. I need something like that, and an appropriate external drive, so I don't fill up my tiny 256 GB SSD. I also want a nice mouse, but the Apple software connects the "natural direction thing" between mouse and trackpad; when either one is right, the other is wrong. I downloaded an external app which fixes that, but I'd like to find out how Apple expects people to do so - or is everyone supposed to use an Apple mouse. The really nice Logitech mice fit my hand better.
OS X is renamed to macOS.
I don't connect anything to my rMBP, so I don't have any experience to offer in regards to docking stations, though if you post in the forums in the Buying Tips subforum, you'll find lots of people able to help you.
I don't use a mouse, but I'm certain you don't need an external app to fix it. For the trackpad, the setting is in the attached picture
Hi, regarding:
"I don't use a mouse, but I'm certain you don't need an external app to fix it. For the trackpad, the setting is in the attached picture"
.....I don't think you read what I wrote. Yes, that setting is there, but if you change the mouse setting, it changes the trackpad setting, and vice versa. I want the trackpad to be "natural", but for the mouse thumbwheel, I need it the other way.

Thanks! It's working now, but I would rather be able to set each setting separately. Maybe it will be fixed in macOS ?
