sierra

I am using Sierra right now but will be moving over to a new Mac soon. Many years ago I learned some basic programming (bash and python) and wrote a few little scripts that I still use a lot for work. I have since forgotten most of what I had learned, though. I read somewhere that the version...

I am manually migrating from Sierra to Monterey and I don't understand how to copy my podcasts over. In iTunes, I have large library of downloaded episodes that are not available in the respective feeds anymore. (Some shows only let you listen to the last 20 episodes or so.) How can I import...

Hello, first-timer here. I have a pair of old Mac Pros: a 3,1 which I'm trying to retire and 4,1 flashed to a 5,1 that I'm trying to replace it with. What I need is a dual-boot system that will run Mojave for my newer stuff as well as a classic Final Cut installation for working on old...

Hi guys, I have a Macbook Pro 2013 with Sierra. As Sierra only has Apple Music through the iTunes app, it's not possible to listen to the Lossless tracks? Thanks!

Hi there, Trying to upgrade my version of Lion Server to Sierra, but having lots of trouble doing so. I tried doing this with the server app deleted however after seemingly getting all the way through the install process, it said that the OS was not compatible with Server OS. I'm seeing that...

Hi, I've got a 2011 iMac running Sierra. It was fine last summer, but it's a bit slow now and I haven't used it in a few months. However for various reasons I want to get it back up & going. I can understand that it won't upgrade past where it is on the OSX front - but as of yesterday (not the...

Hello and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, I have a mid-2012 13” MBP running on 10.12.6 Sierra, which I’ve been trying to update to the latest OS for some time now. Any update that is newer than Sierra throws a “An error occurred while verifying firmware” error. After removing the CD/DVD drive...

I'm running Sierra on an old 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro. Everything slowed to a crawl on Thursday, presumably from the same ocsp problem everyone else experienced. My laptop eventually shut down after freezing totally, and upon reboot, it presented me with the prohibitory symbol (?). I figured it...

Thought I'd pop in and ask a 2 part question here about unsupported versions of OS X/macOS being hacked onto an Early 2008 iMac [8,1]... So... 1. Is Sierra or High Sierra the highest unsupported OS that can be loaded onto such a beast? and 2. Is RAM still stuck at 6GB reliably? The last...

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to transfer (downgrade) the bluetooth module from Sierra to High Sierra. On my iMac 2011, equipped with a bluetooth 4 dongle, I have three partitions: one with Sierra, one with High Sierra and one with Catalina (patch). There is no way or program to...

Hi, I need some advice. I have a mid 2014 Macbook Pro still running on Mavericks, I need to upgrade to use some upgraded versions of Autocad/Revit.. at first I thought of jumping to Mojave or Catalina, but after reading some threads now I don't know this is a good idea. I think Sierra or High...

Hey there, I've been trying to fix my dad's old MBP. He doesn't remember the admin password though set up another account so I could get the serial, etc. I've tried the COMMAND+R option though it asks me to connect to the internet, then does nothing but let the world animation roll...

I'm going to buy a 2017, 15.4 inch, i7 Quad Core 512SSD, Macbook Pro with OS X mojave already installed. My question is if I can downgrade it to OS X el capitan (or sierra). I think (but i'm not 100% sure) this model came out back in june 2017 with High sierra. Can I in this case install el...

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...

I've got a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with a custom Fusion Drive working in Sierra. I was told not to upgrade to High Sierra because it wasn't supported. But I've also recently read that Mojave does support Fusion Drive. But my question is that if it supports custom Fusion Drive (not made by Apple)...

Ok, this might sound stupid, but besides the aesthetics and gimmicks, what am I missing out on if I stick to Sierra on my MBP. The only reason I haven't updated so far is that I am afraid of my machine getting slower. Appreciate some feedback and/or advice... Tnx!

EDIT: Captain Stupid at the helm, here. I have been using a Unibeast/Hackintosh macOS High Sierra USB installer. A little hazy on why that would brick legit Macs but it seems to brick legit Macs...

I've a MacBook Pro 15" 2010 running the latest version of High Sierra and I'm looking to buy an external monitor, as well as the right cable to connect it to. Its only monitor port is a miniDisplayPort though. I read online that after macOS Sierra, Apple blocked some third party monitor cables...
