I've looked around the forums and found some tips, but I would like your help to put together a cool guideline to setup a kinda old computer, with a (now) very old OS. I know, security issues and all, but the reality is that I prefer to keep the highest internet hygiene possible, but not...

I have upgraded to a refurbished Mac Pro 5.1 running Big Sur. i have an older 3.1 running El Capitan and want to transfer my User Account to the newer Mac. My 3.1 has osx on an ssd and my data (including Home Folder) on 1tb sata drive in a second storage bay which i plan to remove and slide into...

Was working fine last night, then today got this error: "This version of Backup and Sync is deprecated and may be shut down soon without further notice. OS X El Capitan (10.11) is no longer supported by Backup and Sync. Please upgrade to macOS Sierra (10.12) or higher." Not an option for me...

Hey guys! So I've tried searching for ways to do this but they haven't worked out. For example, every time I use MacPostFactor, it just gives me an error. With OS X Patcher, it won't let me use my keyboard so I can't actually patch the installation. Am I doing something wrong? Are there other...

Hey all, so I don't have a need for Windows anymore and sold my main Windows machine in the summer and then my Windows laptop in the fall. I still kept an old pristine Dell Latitude D630C with Windows 10 on it, just because... sometimes, you actually might need Windows for something. Well, that...

Hi All, I have a problem with a Mac Pro 3,1 Early 2008. Every single time that I install El Capitan when the computer restarts after completing the installation process, the Mac Pro gets hung and the Apple logo bot screen cannot pass thru half way of the load. I have installed Lion all the...

I recently attempted to update my MP 1,1 to 10.11.6 from 10.11.4 and now the system ONLY restarts into recovery mode. Upon clicking update, there were no security updates in the App Store queue. Here are some symptoms: when choosing my main and only El Capitan SSD, the grey apply screen pops...

Hi! My main computer is a 2017 iMac but as a secondary computer I have an old Macbook Pro 15-inch (Mid-2009) with 8Gb of RAM and 500Gb Samsung SSD. Just replaced the Superdrive with a new one because it broke a year ago. I have this computer still with Yosemite, because I haven't got the need to...

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my MacPro to 1,1 to El Capitan. I could go with a Apple Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512MB for ~$50 but I'm wondering if there are any better cards? I'm not looking for anything high performance and don't mind not having a boot screen. Just looking to make the best...

I spend about 1/2 the year in the US and the other half in the EU. Instead of bringing a computer with me when I travel, my plan is to have a computer in each place and just carry an external drive and backed up Time Machine files with me as I go from one place to the other. For example, I...

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro to El Capital OSX 10.11, but Apple has taken it out from the App Store. Can I get it from any place else? Regards.

Been running my New MacPro 4 core on Yosemite fir a while now. No problems. Sierra is almost out. Think it's OK to upgrade to ElCapitan now or should I stay on Yosemite? I am not super stoked on not having as much control with ElCaps Disk utility. What say you guys n' gals?

I have my mac booted up in recovery mode and instead of installing El Capitan, i'm trying to install Yosemite Combo from a USB stick, I have mounted the Yosemite image from the USB in disk utility, now I just need to run it so it installs, any idea how I can go about this? Thanks

Hi guys, I'm a Mac-boy for over a month now but I suffer from one but damn really important functionality for me. I'm used to Opera and Firefox. When I start to type in the address bar something like "face" it shows me everything with "face......" in the tittle, but Firefox for instance showed...

Hi All, I am at work now but was hoping I could get some results by the time I am home. I have a Macbook Air 2010-2011 (not sure). Someone was playing with it and wiped the partition and the corresponding OSX (Mavericks). I tried to do a clean install - First I tried to use an El Capitan Boot...

Hi guys. I have a MacBook Air Early 2014. I loved the performance in Mavericks when I first got the MacBook. I'm now on El Cap, and while the performance is not *bad*, it's still not as snappy as Mavericks. I may be going back to Mavericks, but first some questions: - Is Mavericks as secure...

Hi there, My Photoshop CC has been working fine before but recently it will not respond when I try to launch it. When I try to open Photoshop I will get a loading cursor for about 2 seconds and afterwards nothing happens, no splash screen nothing.. However the weird thing is that I can see my...
