Yes, it does. And if the slightest error occurs during the process, you wind up with a wiped hard drive and a Mac that doesn’t work. All your data is gone! Also, any anomalies that have accumulated during the time the old OS was in service get carried over to the new one. Cheers, Anne > On 14 O

Yes, this is normal. What it's doing is making your music available for streaming by converting it to Apple Music format. If you had iTunes match it would leave the music in it's normal format. The only difference is that Apple Music format has DRM whereas iTunes match would get you standard AA

question about turning iCloud on for apple Music

Hello, I was wondering if this was normal behavior. On my Mac I opted to turn on the iCloud portion of apple Music so that any apple music songs I aded would be on my computer and my iPhone. However, iTunes added my entire music library, even songs ripped from CDs onto my iCloud apple music. Is

Hello Eileen, I expect a heap of criticism for what I’m about to say. I always recommend installing a new OS from a USB key and wiping the hard drive before doing the installation. You can then restore your data and settings from a Time Machine backup. I’m so tired of seeing unpredictable behavi

It’s a real shame only the 27 inch models get the newest Skylake cpu’s. New keyboard and trackpad are ridiculously expensive, even for Apple standards. New Magic keyboard comes included with the new iMacs, but when selecting the full size keyboard with cable and numpad (which costs less than half,
