Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Its amazing how Apple can put out information in several places that do not sync. Of course, its a large company with many heads that do not talk to one another. Here is a link that specifically relates to El Capitan which I should have shared sooner.

The reason is that Open-VM-Tools is now using a FUSE driver that one installs as part of the “open-vm-tools-desktop” package, whereas the proprietary tools are using a dedicated vmhgfs kernel module that is now deprecated. I no longer use sharing because the dependency requirements are too heav

Question about multi-tasking on I O S

Guys, I've got a question. I have recently acquired a very nice bluetooth case for my IPad Air 1st gen. I'm therefore using the unit way more than before. What I need to know is, let's assume that I want to check e-mail, or maybe browse the web while listening to music in the background. I d

The practical thing is, you don't have to have a Finder Window opened with your applications, therefore it's less screen clutter. Just pop yourself into the dock, open your app of choice, or whatever, and boom. You're done, nothing in the way. And, you're very close. It's actually command+c
