I will be buying a new imac, probably a 2012 or 13 so spec will be better for browsing and email I just want them to function better and I could run Catalina on a later imac. Currently on my power mac running Lion Firefox Legacy (68.12) is the most current browser I can use and I now am getting...

Whaaat!

This is probably a simple answer but I’m going to ask it anyway. My mac pro 2.1 10.7.5 runs well with all the old apps I still use with the exception of browsing and email software where it’s light years out-of-date and is just not fit for purpose anymore. My question is can I run it through a...

silly question, all info available on google!

I have just acquired an Imac 9.1. It comes with Leopard 10.5 installed. From research I believe this Imac can run El Capitan as a max. I have been trying to update system by system till I reach El Capitan with no luck, in fact I can’t even get started. Snow leopard, for which I have Imac...

Unfortunately that wont run all my old software A 250gb ssd will cost £35.00 plus the cost of the system, thanks for your input though

Well yes I have but I’m open to recommendations, if you know something that’ll do the job. I think you’ll find the same or similar limitations, I don’t think it’s specifically browser related I believe it’s just due to the fact the OSX Lion is now extremely old and can’t run anything near a...

Hello again to all, I am currently running 10.7.5 on my mac pro 2.1 (it may have been updated from a 1.1 - not sure). I am very happy with everything, I have all the software I want and probably need, certainly for a while and it’s fast enough for my needs My problem is web browsing, meaning...

still wont go, although did get options to add tasks to window header which I wasn’t aware of. Aaahh if I drag the default toolbar it goes, thanks for your help

Nothing if i don’t click, But if I click I get The item can’t be found. Maybe it was always there, but I never noticed it. I’ll have a look on the Imac later. Have looked and just a blank artistic space but no question mark

Any ideas why this question mark is appearing central on each window I open, since re-installation, see image Also had to re-install some Epson software which I had retained in Downloads, is this normal?

Tell me about processor paste, I wasn’t aware of its existence till recently ... gunge in a computer! and it’s 18 years old

Good Morning, All is well, I think the fat lady has sung her last, for the time being anyway. I purchased a OWC Mercury 3G, 250Gb capacity SSDrive along with an adaptor sled, both online. The disc arrived yesterday and without waiting for the adaptor (which still hasn’t arrived), I fitted it...

Thanks DeltaMac, just a few more questions. I intend to get a new hard disk, don’t need a huge capacity, and I think (without looking at costs) I’ll go for an SSD. SSD means Solid State Disc I presume which has no moving parts and therefore should have greater longevity ... am I correct? Do you...

So are we saying the actual disc is ok but the partition with the system/software and various files is corrupt/needs repairing whatever? Still don’t quite get it, firstly I don’t recognise any of the operations executions on the verification of the disc, previous image (or is it that partition?)...
