​ + + How to Prepare Your Mac for macOS High Sierra Posted on September 25th, 2017 by You may have heard that the next version of Apple’s desktop operating system, macOS High Sierra, is due to be released on September 25. Following the annual schedule that Apple has kept to for some time, operating systems for both the Mac and for iOS make their debuts this month, and these upgrades will be free. Using relative referencing in excel for mac 2011.

Apple will launch macOS Mojave in September 2018. It brings new features like Dark Mode, Dynamic Desktop, Mark Up tools in Quick Look and new apps from iOS. You can read more about Mojave here. However if you have to buy another Mac get at least 16GB of RAM so that you have enough memory to load your projects into. I find that with multiple instances of big NI Kontakt instruments and 15 tracks total Logic takes ~6GB of RAM.

This is an isolated Apple bug that we have now reported to Apple as we have in no other circumstances seen issues in realworld in over a year shipping this upgrade. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can do to help. Sincerely, OWC Devin Call Center Team Lead. We have 4 year old iMac desktop computer with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor and 1 GB of memory.

The one on my desk is sitting on a wire rack in the open air, with a USB-powered fan underneath it. Even so, it gets hot periodically, according to SMC Fan Control. Even with the fan manually cranked as fast as it goes. My office and my desk are NOT hot, nor poorly ventilated. I like my A/C, too. The Mac Mini just does not have a good design that allows for good enough airflow, and the chips age quickly as a direct result. I’ve bought my last Mac Mini.

The 21.5-inch iMac has a native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, while the 27-inch iMacs are 2560 by 1440 pixels. IPS offers wide viewing angles, and the bright glossy screen helps give photos depth. As we've experienced from past iMac reviews, many readers complain about the glare and reflectiveness from the iMac’s glass display, but it should be apparent by now that Apple prefers these screens and an anti-glare option will probably never be available. With a desktop computer like the iMac, you’ll have to plan your workspace appropriately to cope with the glare and relfections. Looking at a variety of test images on the four iMac models, I didn’t find any uniformity issues on the displays, but I did find one stuck pixel on the 27-inch 2.7GHz model that I hadn’t noticed until viewing a completely black screen. FaceTime HD At the top of the iMac sits a new FaceTime HD camera. With the application, the new camera allows you to make video calls to other FaceTime clients in 720p resolution.
