Hey everyone I never use the Terminal on my Macbook Pro Retina. However, today I opened it and noticed it said the Last Login to the terminal was on June 23rd. I find this odd since I hadn't logged into the Terminal in a very long time. How is it possible it said my last login was on June...

I really like the new ability to set two full screen apps in the OS X El Capitan. But I still have a complain. I don't like the "esc to escape full screen mode" function. As I work with Excel I press esc really often, and many times I hit the key twice in a row leaving the full screen mode. This...

Hello, I'm not that familiar with using the Terminal, but every now and then I mess around with the command-line to make some adjustments to the computer. A few months ago, I began noticing typing some commands (like 'sudo') into the Terminal stopped working. Now, whenever I open Terminal, a...

Hi, I recently updated my 2010 27" iMac to El Capitan from Mountain Lion (I skipped Yosemite, I kept meaning to get the update, but never got around to it). After I applied the update, it was time to update applications that I had not been able to get the newest version of. So I go to the App...
