macos high sierra

Hi all. I've been on macOS Sierra for awhile but I've been wondering if I should update. I've heard bad things about High Sierra, such as it being unstable, buggy and "Apple's Vista," on the other hand I've heard that Mojave doesn't work that well with my Graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M...

Hello everyone, So I got a Mac Pro 5,1 (2010) and installed the Nvidia Quadro K1200 in Slot 1 (and switched the HD 5770 over to Slot 2), In the system info it recognizes the ATI Radeon HD 5770 and underneath it is the K1200, but it recognizes it as "Display" and the display I plugged into the...

Hello, this morning I updated my Mac from 10.13.6 High Sierra ➟ 10.15.7 Catalina. I created a Time Machine backup before doing so. Once updated, I went to reopen my Safari windows using the function in the History menu. I had five windows in total but it was only able to reopen four. How do I...

Can anyone help with Macs in a classroom connected to network/server/domain? They have built up a lot of system storage and slow, likely due to lots of user profiles being stored over years. Can I delete older user profiles in Directory Utility?

Hello, I'm fairly new to the Mac community so I'm sorry if this seems like a silly question. I've had success installing dotnet20, dotnet40, and dotnet46 using Winetricks in the terminal, but when I select all three of those within Winebottler, it refuses to install because dotnet20 is...

This is a question to other macOS collectors. So far I was able to cherish an operating system archive. My backup strategy usually consists at least of: 1.) a freshly from the MAS downloaded zip compressed macOS Installer app, stored on an external disk drive 2.) an installer thumb drive for...

My Mac has a firmware password on it. I had gotten around parental controls and other restrictions by using Single User Mode and creating new admin accounts. But an IT professional locked down my computer, deleted my admin account, and set a firmware password. I heard that there is a way to...

Hi, I would like to buy a new 27" 5K display to be connected via two TB2 cables to the nMP (D500). I read here and there, but it seems that there are not so many compatible devices. Apart from the quality of the panel, for me it would be very important to have a perfect integration with the...

I attempted to copy assets from one asset catalog to another one using ThemeEngine, on macOS High Sierra, but upon attempting to save the modified asset catalog, the application would not save it. If someone has had the same issue, and can help me fix it, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I'm having a very annoying problem. Safari's tabs that are already closed keeps showing and overlaps currently opened tabs on the Touch Bar. And it seems like there is no way to get rid of this. Quitting Safari makes it disappear but just for a while, it just keeps coming back. Is...

Hi, Adobe Bridge CC (2017 and 2018 versions) shows in its "folders view" the hidden system directories which are normally not visible in macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (I think also in 10.13.2). The hidden folders are in the macOS root directory: "private", "Network", "usr", "sbin", "cores", "bin"...

Hello, unlike past years, during which I've been always the first in line to upgrade to the newest macOS, this time I decided to wait a bit and it seemed like a good option. As you may recall, there's been a lot of news about High Sierra's security problems, as well as Office 365 performance...

I'm not worried about compatibility with Windows or older macOS. What I'm worried about is the fact that APFS is optimized for SSDs. So will APFS potentially make my HDDs unreliable or slower? What's your experience with APFS with traditional HDDs? Thanks!

Hey everyone. I am currently trying to change the directory for my screendumps on my Macbook Pro 2011 Late running High Sierra. I am succesful in changing my directory on my SSD/main drive, but simply can't figure out how to change the default directory to my other volume - my old HDD. I am...
