If the 2014 is still doing "well enough for now", I suggest waiting until the upcoming large-screen iMac (with a more powerful m-series CPU) gets released late this year or early next year. I sense ...

There will be a large-sized display iMac coming out either later (as in, "late") this year or perhaps early next year. I'm thinking Nov/Dec/Jan. It will be much nicer than the 24" m-series iMac ...

OP: Your display is a 1440p monitor -- 2560x1440. It has for inputs (from what I can find): - HDMI 2.0 - Displayport 1.2 - MiniDisplayport 1.2 Also has USB 3.0 ports, but I don't believe these are ...

OP wrote: "The CCC clones share these drives with my photos - each on a separate partition" I guess it's me, but this makes no sense at all. The object of having "a backup" is to protect you ...

I wouldn't use a partitioned drive for time machine. I'd use a separate, "full drive" (i.e., non partitioned) dedicated to that purpose. Actually, I wouldn't use tm at all (and I don't). I use ...

"Let's say pre-APFS, will a Mac boot from a ExFAT formatted drive?" No. Not the Mac OS. (Not much more to say on this subject)

Some thoughts in no particular order... I wouldn't expect to see an "m1x" or "m2" Mini until around October 2022. It will have more ports and more RAM. OP... ...don't you think that going from 64gb ...

"I read in MacWorld that relying on daisy-chained Apple adapters is not safe. What other options exist for me?" These firewire drives you speak of... Are they "openable"? By that, I mean can you ...

I hope you don't consider this comment disrespectful, but do you want these images to survive you? If so, DON'T use RAID or any odd scheme that might make it all-but impossible for others to "get ...

OP: OK, let's try yet another approach. You said you have a copy of the Sierra installer in your applications folder but it won't launch without an error msg, is this correct? Do this: Download a ...

OP: OK, we need to try something else, no promises. You may want to print this out first. 1. Power down, all the way off 2. Now we're going to boot to a special version of internet recovery: 3. ...

OP: I recommend that you DON'T partition the internal drive. Not "for only one app". Instead, get a smallish-sized USB3 SSD drive (256gb should be fine even 128gb might do well enough), and install ...

It's always better to keep files that will be used with a Mac on a "Mac-formatted" drive. There's more than one approach you could take here. My "preferred choice" would be to format the t7 to HFS+ ...

A personal experience. Perhaps there are parallels to what the OP's solution might be. For years and years, I was using a "legacy" email address from att, which eventually sold out of the ISP ...

Here's the solution to your problem. I GUARANTEE that this will solve it. First, print out this message and keep it for reference. You're going to need it. OK, this involves several steps, so let's ...

Tom N, you have the solution. I'd never heard of this "feature" before (and I've been using Macs pretty much exclusively since 1987). But I opened Text Edit, then held down the "i" key, and ... ...

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and I have no idea what an "aw snap" is. Try any of the following: - Brave browser - iCab - Vivaldi - Epic Privacy Browser I'm a Mini fan myself (own a 2012 and a ...
