Aarg! Finally have the pennies saved to replace my 2010 macbook pro, and we get nothing at WWDC! So disapppointing. Trying to decide if I should buy or wait. Sarai D Bucciarelli www.linkedin.com/in/SaraiDBucciarelli -- The following

Re: My download is extremely slow, but my ADSL Is not so

Hi, Actually, 10 MB is rather slow. Go to fast.com on the web and see how fast it believes your download speed is. You may also wish to try www.speedtest.net. Just as a reference, I tend to get anywhere between 120 and 150 MB/s at home for download with about 15 MB/s upload. At work, I

It’s happening under both Chrome and Safari for me – Macbook Pro (late 2013 model), 8GB RAM, running High Siera. I’ve reported it to Apple and to Google. I would suggest that others do likewise. With sufficient reports, Apple should be able to find the common factors and discover the cause,

No, I haven’t. I’m clueless; I am one of those who is terrified of screwing up something if I do not know absolutely everything about what I am doing. I’ll look into it, though; this is becoming exceedingly disruptive. > On Jun 12, 2018, at 2:37 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > HI! > Have you

I see this on a lot of websites on my high Sierra system here (Mac mini with 8 GB ram). It happens in chrome, safari and even Firefox. I have even tried comparison runs on my windows machine concurrent (windows 7 using jaws) and it seems that the website coding is a bit more Microsoft centric

Are people experiencing this issue running under High Sierra? I can consistently get my El Capitan system to go into busy state from the link list menu, but my HS system generally works except for sites that like to move content around the screen constantly. One other possibility is to bring up

I believe the 2017 models were the first, but it's only the Mac Book Pros at the moment. I think there might still be a MBP model that doesn't have the Touch Bar. The Mac Book Air and Mac Book models don't use the Touch Bar I believe. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind

Anyone recall when it was that Apple removed the physical function keys and replaced them with the touch sensitive strip? Put differently, what models were the last to have physical keys? Similarly, what models were the last to have the chime on boot? I recognize this is somewhat of an oddball
