Not another Mac update
Apple is trying to get me to update to something called Sierra. Has anyone tried this? Will my Macbook Pro and/or my iMac go up in flames if I upgrade? Is there anything in Sierra that is a must-have improvement over OS 9? (just kidding - maybe)
|
Latest OS release... I'd wait a few weeks, make sure others don't have major issues...
|
Done... still alive....

Don't do it if you rely on Adobe products

They have the patent on .pdf. (But I wish that large-format CPU dump crap had never become an industry standard.) Free alternative .pdf reader software seems to be a bit 'far and few in between'. One option is Foxit for Macintosh: https://www.foxitsoftware.com/products/sdk/pdf-sdk/osx/ I have no experience with this. |

I got it the fist day and started a thread on it, it's excellent. Completely stable for me and I can now unlock my screen by having my watch near the laptop. That alone was worth it for me, well and having Siri is pretty nice too.
And I just thought of another thing, when I'm at work and my phone is locked up I get my text messages on my laptop now. |
I've been waiting for this. Scroll down for video.

(edit: I've had no experience with the Mac side.
Foxit .pdf viewer has worked well with an offline Win7 computer devoid of Microsoft sabotage) |
Depends on how old your Mac(s) is. My early 2009 is too old.

Curious. Me thinks they are trying to faze out some of that older hardware that they simply overbuilt and a lot of us are still using because they work so well there is no need to upgrade. |
If you have done the update, check Photos. I lost a bundle of my pics when I did the update. Not sure what happened but getting some crazy image where the picture used to be and an exclamation mark in the middle. Anyone else experience this?

Minutes or hours or days? Did you upgrade from El Capitan or Yosemite? Most importantly, did you back up? |
Did the update when it first came out.
Have done the other updates as they came out and yes, have been doing back ups. |

Do a visual and see if they are there. Off the top of my head it could be anything from the library being corrupt and needing a rebuild to missing thumbnails. Quit Photos. Hold Option+Command while launching Photos. Rebuild option should pop up. |
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Yes, you can get adapters for earlier peripherals but frequently the makers of those devices don't update drivers, etc... Yes it's a conspiracy, and thus proves why I love the analog simplicity of my '74 911... |

You can always keep your peripherals and buy a $30.00 Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor. Loved and hated SCSI. You needed to be up on your dark arts skills to get multiple chained devices to play nice but when it worked it worked. |
