I want to upgrade my wife's iPad from a 2018 iPad 9.7 to a new iPad. She has a nerve damage disability and uses her iPad for Happy Color painting app. It takes her mind off the pain. Not an air or a Pro, just a newer, better, faster model. I'd like to buy from anywhere but Verizon. What is the...

Hey all - I am on Mojave, MacPro 5,1. want to create an exact copy of my startup disk (Bay 1) and I want to clone it to another internal drive (Bay 4). It appears that Carbon Copy Cloner will only create the clone to an External drive. It keeps calling it a Dry Run when I attempt to clone from...

Thanks, DeltaMac. These files were taking up HUGE chunks of space. My Mojave startup disk had over 500GB of core files. That's half of the hard drive!

I did just find an article about hitting command + shift + period to show hidden files. There is a folder called "cores" that has 289 GB of stuff. Now the follow-up question is - What are the core files that are using all of this from?

Good morning - I have a 320Gb hard drive in Bay 4 of my MacPro5,1 that I'm trying to turn into a back up startup drive. I thought that I had pretty much cleared everything off of the drive so I only have an empty Users folder that I can't delete. This drive did at one time have the Sierrra OS...

Thanks, Cheryl. Question - I have 4 hard drives running. Can I unpack it onto one of those hard drives and install from there or is the bootable thumb drive still the better option?

Hello - I found the thread about downloading the Mojave macOSUpdCombo10.14.4.dmg. Do I need an earlier download to do an initial install of Mojave, upgrading from El Capitan? Would somebody be so kind to leave a download link. Please and thank you!

Yeah, whatever they are called. In the finder, I can no longer flip the triangle to the left of the folder to see what is in the folder. Plus now the tabs are all open in the same window, not separate windows. Is that new to High Sierra? Thank you!

Okay then. What?!?

Wondering…if I do make a disk image of the startup (while booted from another drive to get everything), when I want to burn that image back, will it erase the drive i'm writing back to. Make sense?

I've moved EVERYTHING off of the drive other than some apps. I'm in packaging so have Adobe apps but have moved the apps themselves to another internal drive. I even rebooted to another drive, this with High Sierra and ran the backup from there. Same thing. I know I could just reinstall Adobe...

Yeah - it shows 499.32gb. I'm formatting Mac Extended (Journaled) with GUID

Hey Cheryl - I've been trying to back up to a 500gb external with USB connection. Reformatted each attempt.

I have been using a 500 gig drive as a startup drive for Sierra and a MacPro 2012 5,1 and want to make a COMPLETE backup to migrate to a 1tb drive. Eventually I will upgrade to High Sierra - the highest I can go - I think - on this computer. I have run out of space, showing 319gb used and 2.7gb...

Is there a tutorial somewhere? I don't really understand UNIX or whatever language is used in Terminal. I just want to set Ethernet port 1 to one DHCP for WeTransfer and TeamViewer and port 2 set to office connections and printing.

SWEET - and I can find info out there to do this network setup:?

I have a mid 2012 MacPro running Sierra with 32gb RAM. I'd like to use both Ethernet ports on the back - one for file transfers and one for office networking and printing. Is there a way to do this?

Well, I did find iskysoft Video Converter Ultimate that seems quicker than toast ever was.

I have a Mac Pro 2008 with El Capitan and want to get DVD and BluRay burning software for home videos. I was considering Toast V15. First, will it work and second, is there something better than Toast?

Does the optical drive need to stay connected or can I remove it altogether? The old drive isn't showing. It spins up but doesn't mount. HOLD ON - my expectations were too quick - THERE THEY ARE, both drives. Thanks!!
