    iTunes is so sluggish on macOS Sierra!

    After updating from El Capitan to Sierra, my iTunes becomes so sluggish to the point of annoying. Opening albums from Albums View is slow and choppy, rating one song makes the album cover 'flashed'. Also, album covers in Artists View are HUGE, artists pictures aren't available anymore...

    Sierra Upgrade eats available SSD space on mid-2010 MBP

    I have a mid-2010 MBP that I upgraded with a 128gb SSD in the normal bay, and a 1tb HDD in the superdrive bay. I use the SSD for the OS and symlinked most of the user files to an HDD in the superdrive bay (thus keeping the minimal amount of information on the SSD). Since upgrading to Sierra I...

    FaceTime is very buggy once again

    I’m a long time FaceTime user. I use it everyday since 2010. It looks like a very simple app that just makes video or audio calls. It doesn’t have any settings. Nothing to configure. It “Just Works”. I agree. But Apple somehow manages to break it in someways and make it buggy with every single...

    macOS Sierra with new File System? Resize Partition

    I heard that the new macOS Sierra has a new File System? Is that true? Not the Not the HFS+ anymore. But after installation of macOS Sierra, there seems to be just HFS+ as usual. Shows "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Hared that is should be easy to extend an existing partition. But how?

    Keynote 7.0: No Longer Can Record Slideshow with Automatic Transitions?

    With Keynote 7.0 the automatic transitions in my slideshow are no longer "automatic" when I record the slideshow (as a quicktime video). An apparent inconsistency with this new behavior is that although automatic transitions must now be manually advanced (space bar, etc.) while recording, any...

    Just received a brand new Dell U2717D as external monitor for my nearly new MBP 15" (since the old Thunderbolt display is not available any more and the new one hasn't been released). The text quality on the monitor, however, is terrible, which defeats the whole purpose of getting an external...
