Are there any tricks to get Airdrop in an older MBA (mid-2011 High Sierra 10.13.6) to actually function properly? Wife and I both have same Mid-2011 MBA running strong, so no need to upgrade. These MBA's have always had Airdrop listed under Finder Favorites, but it's rarely worked properly. I...

So I finally finished migrating to a newer Mac Pro 5,1 (from a failing 3,1) and at the same time transitioned from El Capitan (10.11) to High Sierra (10.13). Not sure why I never downloaded the iWork apps (Pages/Numbers/Keynote) from the App Store before, but figured I might as well now. And of...

People, Im stumped after 4 days and need help. While running Sierra, my system was upgraded to the Catalina disaster without my knowledge. The Time Machine backup last done that would save everything was done in Sierra. Of course, I cannot find anywhere a Sierra installer, but I do have one for...

As a way to resolve some issues with Facebook push notifications that still continued to arrive in High Sierra and Mavericks, I logged out in Internet Accounts, cleared browser cookies for Facebook/Messenger and that was the end: I started getting error messages ("unable to verify password and...

I recently re-authorized (in iTunes) my 4,1 --> flashed 5,1 High Sierra CMP and noticed an alarming phenomenon. All had been well with the machine and things looked fine after the authorization but I soon noticed that free space on my boot SSD (a 500GB Mercury Extreme Pro from OWC) had shrunk...

Hi, I just bought a Mac Pro 5.1. Single Processor Xeon 2.8 Ghz and ATI Radeon HD 5770. The computer came with Snow Leopard installed so my next step was to begin the upgrade process to at least High Sierra until I buy a Metal compatible GPU. The problem I came up with was that I foolishly...

Hello, i have been trying to fix my fathers imac mid 2011 21,5 for a couple of weeks now. The main issue the mac was having was that it was unable to boot. I would boot into disk utility and try to reinstall mac os but it would crash. This got me to buy a ssd with the owc thermal sensor cable...

I'm using a late 2015 iMac running on High SIerra 10.13.5. When I plug in my USB SuperDrive, the computer doesn't recognize it (at all - I can't push the disc in). A family member's computer (mid-2010, running on the same OSX) DOES recognize the SuperDrive, but doesn't have the necessary...

Hey folks, I have no idea what to try next so I'm turning to you all for your wisdom! Long story short: I'm trying to upgrade the HDD and RAM in an early-2011 macbook pro 13” and the OS won’t install to the new SSD. This is something I’ve done several times before without incident. This time...

Hey guys, Is there a Mac Pro 5.1 user with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 where the GPU history is displayed correctly in the Activity Monitor? I only use audio software, but my graphics slow down more than usual during large sessions. I only see a blank box under Activity Monitor GPU History. Does...

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave 10.14.6 connected over ethernet that I'm using to share a disk for my two laptops to use as Time Capsule. My 11" MBA (2015) running Mojave 10.14.6 - no problem. I pointed time machine to the shared disk and in less than 12 hours it completed a sparsebundle...

Multiple diagnostic programs all indicate a consistency error on my boot volume, which they are unable to fix. Will I need to do a clean install? File structures seem OK, directory structures have this problem. I need some way to fix it without losing my files or having to reconstruct things...
