    Messages push to watch despite actively using Messages on 10.12

    Has anyone else noticed this? I have macOS Sierra GM and watchOS 3 GM. I am actively typing with someone in Messages on Sierra, but the notifications are still going to my watch.

    Installed Sierra, now super slow uploads.

    Yesterday afternoon I installed the Sierra GM Candidate after receiving an email from Apple. I didn't really use my MacBook Pro very much after that until this morning. Everything seemed to be working fine, until I noticed that when syncing files via dropbox, the uploads were taking unusually...

    Waiting for the 13/14" rMB

    After the introduction of the 12" rMB last year, and the multiple reports of a "MacBook Air with USB C Ports" that may or may not be referencing a MacBook Pro, it would be wise to say that there might be a larger variant of a MacBook in production. In addition to this, as the MacBook Air is...

I'm thinking that if the server OS is going to change then I'll wait 2-3 months and just buy...

    Unable to delete any file off HD

    This is by far the most buggy beta I have tested from Apple. The biggest problem is that even though I am able to put files into the Trash Can and delete them, The free space on my hard drive does not change. I have deleted well over 40gbs of data and nothing. Also the fans on my MBP run at...

    Combine PDFs issue?

    I download tons of music from IMSLP, but like to combine the individual .pdf files, of a common work, in to one larger file. For example, the nine small preludes by Bach (BWV 924-931; the ninth was never finished). Normally, you open the first .pdf file, select thumbnail view (which lists the...
