    Syncing attached pdfs Notes app.

    With the new features added in El Capitan's notes app I have been working on migrating from Evernote. What I've recently noticed though is that syncing pdfs that are attached to my notes and have been modified doesn't appear to be working the way I would expect it to. I have two machines I work...

    MacBooks (wifi) cannot 'see' each other or Mac Pro (wired) after El Capitan upgrade

    Since upgrading my two MacBooks (Air and Pro) and Mac Pro (old tower style) systems to El Capitan, I cannot connect my laptops to my Mac Pro. Months have gone by with all attempted solutions (via web research) failed. My MacBooks cannot see ANYTHING else on the network. From either of my...

    Resolved Devices section not showing up in sidebar even after changing it in preferences

    I unchecked and re-checked whatever is in the Devices multiple times, but nothing changes. Tested it with the ones in Favourites; they get updated fine real-time. But not whatever is in Devices. I used Terminal to repair permissions. Deleted finder plist and the sidebarlists plist and...

    Resolved Resize Internal SSD

    I recently upgraded my original internal 750GB disk drive to a new SanDisk Ultra II 960GB SSD. Before installing, I cloned the original drive to this new SSD.

    10.11.4 beta 2 update oddity

    Anyone who updated to 10.11.4 (build 15E33e) yesterday (January 27) seeing their home folder appear on the desktop as a mounted server? I don't have server or hard drive icons show up on my desktop at all, so it stood out to me when my computer restarted after updating to the latest beta. See...

    Why can't I upgrade to El Capitan?

    I am told my version of Safari (v6.1.6) is out of date and needs to be updated to make more secure. Following the links I see in the app store I have one upgrade to download. However when I attempt to download it says I cannot install it on my iMac, but I read it can be used on all OS after...

    Hello, As the subject states I am looking for best recommendations for a Folder Sync app for Mac OS X. I want to auto sync some folders with my dropbox folders so there is redundancy. Looked up a few on the app store but they seem to have horrible reviews. If anyone can point me in a...

    MacBook Pro Battery Drain Overnight

    Hello, world! I recently noticed that my 2015 13" rMBP loses about 1-2% of battery life overnight. Previously my Mac retained 100% charge overnight. Power Nap, Wake for Wi-Fi network access, and Bluetooth are all disabled. I have also tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, and as well as disabling...

    Updating to El Capitan with older Mac Pro

    I have a 2012 Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I'm reluctant to give the thing up because I love have 4 SATA bays that I can use for swapping drives easily. Running under the latest version of Yosemite, the computer can get VERY slow, particularly when a background task...

    Macbook Pro 13" turns off wifi randomly

    Just bought a new MBP 13". After logged in a while, the OS turns off wifi, turns it back on and so on. It seems the same happens with thunderbolt ethernet. I am running El Capitan 10.11.3 (latest jan-2016 update). On my 15" MBP running 10.11.2 - nothing like this happens. I have had both...

    Resolved ElCap firewall blocks incoming screen sharing connections

    Hi folks, just upgraded my MBP to El Capitan, and now I can't screen-share to it unless the firewall is down. Just to be clear, Screen Sharing is working fine by itself: clients cannot connect only when the default OS X firewall is active. I'm running no other firewall software, and my...

    hello, I am wondering whether it is possible to install and boot windows 10 preview from an external hard drive? The external hard drive is running Yosemite. You can boot OSX from an external so I though maybe bootcamp might work too. However from my attempts it seems an internal drive...

    macOS Help Installing C++ Library in El Capitan (boost)

    I have no experience with using other libraries in C++ other than the STL. I have been using clang++ for compiling small C++ codes and projects using Terminal commands with makefiles and rarely I've had to use XCode. However it had to come the day I had to move beyond that soft code beach and...

    "Cycle through windows" vs. "Move focus to next windows"

    Premise: I've recently performed a clean install of 10.11.2 on my 2011 MBP, coming from a 10.8.x installation... quite the upgrade! :) Since my first mac with 10.4 Tiger I've grown accustomed to the comfort of system wide shortcuts, and one of those I used most was the "Cycle through windows"...
