I unchecked and re-checked whatever is in the Devices multiple times, but nothing changes. Tested it with the ones in Favourites; they get updated fine real-time. But not whatever is in Devices. I used Terminal to repair permissions. Deleted finder plist and the sidebarlists plist and...

I recently upgraded my original internal 750GB disk drive to a new SanDisk Ultra II 960GB SSD. Before installing, I cloned the original drive to this new SSD. After install, I realized there was an unallocated amount of free space (209.91GB) that I unintentional partitioned. I've tried to resize...

Anyone who updated to 10.11.4 (build 15E33e) yesterday (January 27) seeing their home folder appear on the desktop as a mounted server? I don't have server or hard drive icons show up on my desktop at all, so it stood out to me when my computer restarted after updating to the latest beta. See...

I am told my version of Safari (v6.1.6) is out of date and needs to be updated to make more secure. Following the links I see in the app store I have one upgrade to download. However when I attempt to download it says I cannot install it on my iMac, but I read it can be used on all OS after...

Hello, As the subject states I am looking for best recommendations for a Folder Sync app for Mac OS X. I want to auto sync some folders with my dropbox folders so there is redundancy. Looked up a few on the app store but they seem to have horrible reviews. If anyone can point me in a...

Hello, world! I recently noticed that my 2015 13" rMBP loses about 1-2% of battery life overnight. Previously my Mac retained 100% charge overnight. Power Nap, Wake for Wi-Fi network access, and Bluetooth are all disabled. I have also tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, and as well as disabling...

With the last beta update my UAD soundcard stopped working and I can not live without it. I am no longer going to use betas. =) I have everything backed up on a Time Machine...can anyone recommend how I could reformat my computer to the last un-beta version and backup everything from my Time...

I have a 2012 Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I'm reluctant to give the thing up because I love have 4 SATA bays that I can use for swapping drives easily. Running under the latest version of Yosemite, the computer can get VERY slow, particularly when a background task...

Just bought a new MBP 13". After logged in a while, the OS turns off wifi, turns it back on and so on. It seems the same happens with thunderbolt ethernet. I am running El Capitan 10.11.3 (latest jan-2016 update). On my 15" MBP running 10.11.2 - nothing like this happens. I have had both...

Hi folks, just upgraded my MBP to El Capitan, and now I can't screen-share to it unless the firewall is down. Just to be clear, Screen Sharing is working fine by itself: clients cannot connect only when the default OS X firewall is active. I'm running no other firewall software, and my...

hello, I am wondering whether it is possible to install and boot windows 10 preview from an external hard drive? The external hard drive is running Yosemite. You can boot OSX from an external so I though maybe bootcamp might work too. However from my attempts it seems an internal drive...

Hi everyone, I've got the latest version of Command and Conquer Deluxe Edition from the app store, but I'm having a nightmare with it crashing all the time. It's ported/packaged by 'aspyr', and they posted about the latest version of Game Centre on El Capitan crashing on 10.11 due to a...

I have no experience with using other libraries in C++ other than the STL. I have been using clang++ for compiling small C++ codes and projects using Terminal commands with makefiles and rarely I've had to use XCode. However it had to come the day I had to move beyond that soft code beach and...

Hi guys, The Preview in El Capitan is not as sharp as in Mavericks. Anyone can confirm whether this is still bugs in 10.11.3? Thanks.

Hello there! As I wrote in another thread, I recently performed a clean install of 10.11.2 on my 2011 MBP, coming from a 10.8.x installation... quite the upgrade! For the occasion I also switched my internal drive from the original spinning drive to a brand new 512gb Crucial MX100 I had lying...

Premise: I've recently performed a clean install of 10.11.2 on my 2011 MBP, coming from a 10.8.x installation... quite the upgrade! :) Since my first mac with 10.4 Tiger I've grown accustomed to the comfort of system wide shortcuts, and one of those I used most was the "Cycle through windows"...

Do I need to install the latest plug-in for Silverlight if I upgrade my Mac to El Capitan? Netflix keeps prompting me that I need the plug-in for Silverlight(and now won't even let me "skip for now"), but I read that if you use Yosemite you don't need Silverlight anymore. So since I was also...

Almost immediately after upgrading a late 2014 mac mini to el capitan (10.11.2), the superdrive lost its ability to write DVDs. It is recognized by the system and can read DVDs fine, but any attempt to burn files or an ISO image to a disk fails. The same superdrive happily burns on the same...
