sierra 10.12.6

Any experts in migrating from an ancient MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 with Sierra OS....) into Mac Studio (current)? What will be the best way? Can I use the Migration Assistance even though the old MacBook Pro is on Sierra? Would my MacBook Pro backup work? Shall I just copy my documents and...

I bought a refurbished 2015 MacBook so that I could continue using my legacy software, but its SSD came preinstalled with OS 10.14 Monterey. I want to degrade it to 10.12 Sierra. I have a Time Machine / bootable external HD but can't work out how to erase the new SSD and put Sierra on it. I've...

Hey all! I'll try to keep this as brief as possible :) My parents' mac is a 2017 base 4k iMac (quad-core 3GHz i5, 8gb ram, 1TB Fusion Drive). I don't visit them often, and while I do some basic maintenance from time to time, the machine has never been updated past 10.12.6 Sierra (I know, I'm a...

Hi, can you advise if possible to backup iOS device with iTunes or another third party app on Sierra 10.12.6? I tried but itunes says "I don't have permissions" which doesn't make sense. I also tried iMazing, it didn't work either, same message of "no permissions". Tnx!

My 2009 iMac started behaving very oddly. On the computer, we have four user profiles set up two of which are admin users. A couple of months ago I noticed that under my user ID(Admin) I'm not able to access the internet but under the other admin ID the internet can be accessed. I have a...

I just wiped the boot disk of my little server from Catalina and went back to Sierra Server. The reasons are simple: Content caching that works nicely. TimeMachine that always works. A Server interface that makes control simple and tells me whether all the Macs in the house are getting backed...

Hello, I am running macOS Sierra (10.12.6) with all the latest security updates etc. Almost every time I open Maps I am unable to search for any locations - sometimes I get a notification to say that it can't connect. I then close Maps, leave it for a while, and then re-load. Sometimes it...

Anytime I try to import photos from my phone, the Photos app on my Macbook Pro (mid 2014) crashes. Thanks in advance! The only thing I can think of is that I manually copy the files post transfer to my external hard drive. Anyhow, FWIW, here is the report below that I was allotted to paste. I...

Hello all, I'm upgrading a noisy 5870 in a Mac Pro 5,1 running Sierra 10.12.6 to a RX580. I've read the threads below and got the eGPU recommended Sapphire Pulse RX580. It's coming Thursday. Despite reading those threads, I'm still a bit confused as to what cabling I will need. Can I use the...

After putting it off for literally years, I decided to upgrade my Late 2015 Macbook Air from Yosemite to Sierra. It went seamlessly, but now I am dealing with a problem with iTunes and the APP store. About 15 months ago, I got locked out of my Apple ID because of losing my two-factor key...

I cannot sort any review, I can see there are several pages for some apps but as soon as I touch the # 2 to go to the next page , the reviews disappear Is it just me or is it happening to others as well? Any idea how to fix it if it is something broken on my side? They just fixed the iOS app...

Dear friends, my late 2009 iMac was on High Sierra but it really slowed down things. This machine had a FW external HDD for TimeMachine. Internal HDD broke so just fixed inserting a new HDD and decided to install a fresh Sierra (not High Sierra) MacOS. When I connected the FW external...

Hey Mac-Community, I've had a Macbook Pro for ages and as for most users its configured as to my needs. At work, I got a new Macpro with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 now and to my shock the configuration of the trackpad seems limited. With my Mac for example I can mark multiple items only by swiping...

Hi, Since yesterday, my Mac Mail suddenly keeps crashing everytime I open it up. It keeps alive for around 20-30 seconds, and then closes with the "report / reopen" dialog. I happened suddenly and on a day where I had been using the mail for the entire day, so as far as I know I haven't done...

Several weeks ago, I bought a Microsoft install DVD for Windows 10 at Walmart. I have been a Mac user since 1986, but I have also worked with Windows PCs in the past. Most of my Windows experience were with PCs running Win 8 and Win 10. I have never used Boot Camp or other Windows-on-Mac...

Hey there, I just bought a 4K display (LG 27UD68-W) and trying to use it on my MacPro 5,1 (with NVIDIA GTX 1050, 2GB). The display runs in 1080p HiDPI/Retina mode. I can run it in 4K 30+60Hz by using switchresx but everything is really tiny. Is there a way to get "bigger" interfaces again? I...
