Setting up a mac to use my account

Hello everyone, I honestly can't remember if I already asked this, or not. So if I did, I do apologize. I have a Mac laptop that was given to me. It was a dear friend's of mine! It is running Yosemite and can not be upgraded. When they gave it to me, they didn't clear off their account,

If you set the device up using back up from an older device or itunes backup, then use it. Only problem though is if the backup uses an older OS version then the update / resetup wont work. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On

Hello, Well, since everyone is chiming in on this, I’ll add my proverbial two cents. Frankly, I do not like the Siri remote. I find it extremely fatiguing on my fingers—especially the touch pad area. A couple of years ago, I unpaired my Apple Third Generation remote from my 4th gen. I

Nickus, Yes, I have used Apple TVs (from 2nd to 4th gen) for years now so I am used to them. I actually think the accessibility has been very good on them until TVOS 11. I wish I never upgraded. The issues with the remote have always been there for the Siri remote but the software / keyboard
