I'm on the verge of buying this hard drive: https://www.wdc.com/en-gb/products/internal-storage/wd-red.html#WD80EFZX to use to clone my boot drive to as a backup. (I'm aware that they can be had for far less money via places other than from WD themselves). As it's a much more modern drive...

I managed to get a free 20” Intel iMac (one of the early white ones, so it must have come out in 2006) because the owner had a problem with it he couldn’t fix and just gave it to me. (The only reason I think it’s an Intel is because it’s thinner than the G5 version) It turns out the problem was...

So I had an older Mac Mini lying around (I mean old, MacMini1,1 with an Intel Core Duo 1.66Ghz) and decided that it would be a great machine for a mini server, to house a bunch of movies to stream over my local network to my Apple TVs. Only problem is, I cannot get the Mini to connect to the...

Hello there, I have an iPad 2 I never upgraded past iOS 6.1.3, and while it's running beautifully and I jailbroke it (for f-lux), most new apps are now incompatible. I mostly still use Snow Leopard as an OS, and I already know using iTunes to upgrade iOS to the 9.x branch will prevent any...
