![]() ![]() is morphing into a Microsoft clone! “CANNOT” is from the Microsoft vocabulary, surely! I partitioned the Mac HD so I could clean install Yosemite onto that partition but the ‘ever friendly' Apple Mac OS X displayed a window "That version of OS X cannot be installed on this iMac. I recently purchased a new 2017 iMac 21.5", 2.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 1TB HD, 8GB memory running OS X 10.13.6. The entire appeal of Apple, its ethos, its OS X format and usability/compatibility WILL BE LOST FOREVER! My faith in Apple was and remains shaken to its core! Apple, GIVE your faithful supporters options to use older OS X versions IF THEY NEED TO DO SO! Do not dictate OS usage parameters as does Microsoft! 8) were so severely mutilated in functionalality as to be UNUSABLE! All this pain to use the formally reliable and trusted, user friendly OS X 10.11.x (and later) - I don’t think so! Several irreplaceable non Apple software WOULD NO LONGER WORK! An example is MPEG Streamclip, a uniquely versatile, open source video manipulation software for which there is NO COMMERCIAL EQUIVALENT! Additionally, such universal graphics programs as Photoshop Elements (Ver. unswerving faith in Apple and its devotion to user 'ease of use'). At Apple's prompting (via App Store and being a loyal OS X devotee), I updated to El Capitan and instantly regretted my gullibility (i.e. I am using Yosemite 10.10.5 on iMac 21.5" late 2009 with 4GB moemory 1067 MHz DDR3.

The Con is that it's quite laborious, boring and time consuming, making sure that you have enough backups, at least four in my case. At one time i also was the technical guy for the computers used in process control in refineries. Quite different from the time and needs when working for oil companies. I've gotten more into photography and graphics as I'm travelling thru Europe on a scooter, taking a lot of pictures and eventually making comic strips to let my family and friends know about my adventures! Plus after several years my SSD has quite a bit of digital dust so i feel it's time to do some needed maintenance and rethink my data needs for the next few years. I buy the HDs and SSDs with this space in mind.ĭuring this last few months, and with the attempt to live with HS, my volume directory has developed two ghost partitions which i cannot eliminate without reformatting. Therefore i can respond very fast and thoroughly to failures. The second, without a system, for intermittent opportune selective backups of key data, and the third one with a system to use in emergencies when the main one fails, with key utilities and no data. The first for the core business, apps, data etc. I've always had my drives formatted into at least two volumes, often three. Is there any way to increase Font size? And has there been any new Fonts? (other than Lucida Grande?) I am reading/learning from threads posted in 2014 on this Forum regarding Yosemite lol. As mentioned earlier, I use Chrome for browsing so not really using any standard Apple apps on the MBP.īut I am still new to the MBP, for instance I just learned recently (and implemented) the Dark mode for Yosemite (very smooth btw) and just today I changed the system Font to Lucida Grande. In fact I want to know if there is any way I can disable iTunes because sometimes it opens up by itself if I use the play/pause key while listening to music on VLC. I have set Xee as default image viewer (positive reviews from this Forum) and use VLC for playing my music/vids. Yosemite runs pretty smooth, the smoothest OS I have ever used, but then again I have only used Windows before. I also don't use any banking apps but do use my MBP for online shopping. It is a relief to read since I use Chrome and do not use Safari at all. Thank you for your input and recommendations EugW. ![]()
