    Upgrading from iPad 9.7 Verizon

    If you now have an iPad that is a cellular model, and move to a wifi-only iPad, your wife will have to be connected to wifi, otherwise - no internet. It's not about making phone calls on the iPad, it's more about connecting to the internet. The cellular model that your wife (apparently) has, can...

    iMessage and screen sharing is not working

    Yes, you can update your Early 2008 iMac to 10.11.6, which is the highest version that you can upgrade I have that exact model (a 20-inch model), and have both Snow Leopard (because I like that version), and El Capitan installed, each on separate partitions. The software update is probably not...

    iMessage and screen sharing is not working

    hmm.... Try this: Login to the problem user on the old Mac. Sharing pref pane - turn off all sharing choices (this is for troubleshooting) - so all sharing is unchecked. Try to enable Remote Management, then turn that setting off again. Restart that Mac before continuing (logging in to that same...

    iMessage and screen sharing is not working

    What other Sharing settings do you need? Do you have "Remote Management" turned on for that user? Screen Sharing and Remote Management cannot be "on" at the same time, for example

    300 GB Unaccounted for

    I don't have a Mac that has anything inside the "Cores" folder. It's simply empty. Can you tell what kind of files you have inside that Cores folder? If they are all Core.xxxxxxxx - then you can read this Apple support community page- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7852353 That shows you a...

    Use imac as a windows monitor

    The "lightning" marking on the Mac connector means "thunderbolt". If you want to use your 2011 27-inch iMac as an external display, then the only choice is to use Target Display mode. And, that choice also means that the source computer (the one that you want to send video from) must be a Mac...

    Costly mistake with monitor and MBP

    I would just buy a battery, and replace myself. You're already not in warranty, and the replacement would give you something different to do for a few hours. You can find replacement batteries that should be useful from iFixit, for example, for around $100, maybe $125 or a bit more. Anyway, much...

    Want to get back to macOS

    You can certainly disagree with me. Although the mini has been sold continuously since 2005, there have been some years when no new model mini was released, so the previous model continued to be sold as new. The mini model released in late 2014 is called a Late 2014 model. That same 2014 model...

    Want to get back to macOS

    The nvram reset (restart while holding Opt-Cmd-P-R) should allow you to boot to Internet Recovery. Continue to hold those same 4 keys, until you hear the boot chime 2 more times, then immediately move to Option-Cmd-R Review my post above yours. Are you using a wired, or a wireless keyboard...

    Want to get back to macOS

    There is a 2014 Mac mini, or a 2018 Mac mini. There is no 2015 Mac mini, although yours might have been originally sold in 2015. If you have only ubuntu, and the Mac system is completely gone, you can go back to that by booting to a macOS bootable installer, anything from OS X 10.10 Yosemite to...

    how to always Turn on Verbose Booting on OS 12.3 on a M1 MBP?

    I didn't notice that.... But, then it does appear to me that you might be answering on the wrong thread. The OP here doesn't appear to have any problem with using the terminal. But, the terminal commands (at least one of them) do not seem to work on AS Macs. The real issue for the OP is that AS...

    how to always Turn on Verbose Booting on OS 12.3 on a M1 MBP?

    OP was asking about enabling verbose boot mode, and wants to know if using that verbose boot setting will actually work after a reboot. So, your post appears to say that you have successfully set verbose mode, using an external boot drive. If so -- Did you then try a restart from that external...

    Hard drive almost full notification- can't find files

    "no hidden"? There are absolutely hidden files on every Mac. What version of the system are you running? (that keyboard shortcut does not work with El Capitan (OS X 10.11) and older.) You said that you didn't find enough files stored in /Users/me to add up to the space that the folder reports...
