Is it possible to have a Mac thread on here without it degenerating into shitposting?
As a Mac User I feel entitled to say:
>OS X is shit!
The MacBook Air is one of the greatest notebooks ever made, even for Windows and Linux users
No because macs are for homosexuals and women.
I gave OS X a chance, but after a couple weeks of using it I just ended up switching to Windows and Linux dual boot.
OS X is quite literally the facebook OS
this thread is a shitpost
>>54443029
Nope. Everything /g/ likes degenerates into shitposting, so anything /g/ dislikes stands no chance.
Macs are ThinkPads for people who aren't poorniggers
>>54443029
Classic Macs were pretty cool. Modern macs are retard bait.
>>54443044
Same here, OS X has steeply gone downhill the second Yosemite came out, it's only getting worse.
10.6 was the best version of OSX out, 10.8/10.9 came close.
Appalu Ackbar!

>>54443029
No.
>>54443267
I love how they say they're fighting for Freedom of Speech yet, iOS and OSX are the most locked down operating systems of their respective classes and their App Store censoring is worse than North Korea's censorship of information.
>>54443029
Yes! Do you prefer System 6 or System 7?
>>54443337
They fight for privacy rights above all. All the Apple OSes are batshit with being locked and dumbed down, but the BSD underneath is totally free
>>54443337
The App Store only takes a few days to approve an app, unlike a month or so it takes the North Korean ministry to respond to a query for data from the foreign internet.

It's funny because this guy looks more like the average /g/nuwindux user. He's balding, fat, shorts and socks, and obsessed with guns.

>>54443029
Maybe on fashion board but on technology board you're not even comical posting about macs.
>>54443360
Nice taste.
>>54443267
Apple has given the FBI information willingly plenty of times over the years, the Apple iPhone incident was just a PR movement.
>>54443361
>All the Apple OSes are batshit with being locked
No. iOS is super locked down, but Mac OS really isn't.
>>54443029
It's not possible to have any thread on here without it degenerating into shitposting.
>>54443680
This, now the FBI has changed strategies and really started to hurt Apple's "reputation" of security, with several agencies hacking iPhones 5S and newer.
It's really been hit after hit for Apple, the Indian Government is banning Apple's sales of refurbished phones, China has restricted sales of Apple devices and outright banned iCloud, iTunes and iBooks, key executives and investors of Apple leaving. Their stock prices have tanked massively after 1.5 years of constant decline and it's only going to get worse from now on.
>>54443680
Giving it willingly under the law > creating BackDoor OS. Apple is based
>>54443337
OS X is less "locked down" than any PC version of Windows.
>>54443061
What do you like more about Windows? Beyond muh vidya, it just seems so far behind.
>>54443128
Funny thing is that Thinkpads never were intended for poorfags in the first place either. Then 16:9 happened.
>>54443131
Yosemite was a huge visual improvement, only found the performance somehow lacking but Le Capitan fixed it.
The older ones were pretty damn dated.
>>54443337
Restricted app store keeps the quality of apps higher and chance of malware lower. Besides, it's not like play store is an open paradise.
>>54443737
Given that their stock was far beyond all expectations two years ago, they aren't as much tanking as normalizing.
>>54443360
Can you shitpost from this classy mofo?
>>54443840
Reddit called and they want all their machomos back.
All threads on /g/ die or descend to shitposting.
>>54443852
Yes, actually! I can set up MacPPP with a serial port adapter and then Telnet into a shitposting machine.
>>54445011
>Telnet
That's cheating.
>>54445035
I could probably also port one of the C JSON libraries and write a 4chan client. Except that requires arcane knowledge and 4chan Pass (no chance reCAPTCHA will work on 8MHz 68000).
>>54443029
As long it's not another mac shills and reasons to hate windows we got Linux users for that.
>>54443029
Is it possible to post in 4chan without the NSA shitposting because Apple is against giving out his customers?

I like that who ever took this picture didn't try any cable management. Seriously, its one fucking cord, he could move his desk closer to the wall and it would be pretty much concealed, but no, this faggot is proud of his one fucking cable. He even has a picture where its zoomed in on the cable, to show the hole in his desk as to say "Look how easy cable management is with this Mac™", and then he just lets it dangle, raised above the ground, right behind his desk in a way that literally everyone can see it.

Where can I find a semi decent (core 2 duo) mac for below £80? I don't care if it is a laptop with a broken screen etc. I need one for learning purposes (about OSX). Nothing seems to go for sub £150 that isn't a POS.
>using any mac besides a PPC or Motorola one
I got a mac mini off Craigslist for $50. Swapped a core 2 duo in it for $3 and flashed the firmware. Now it thinks it's a 2,1 mini, and runs 10.7.5
Probably going to become my home server once I'm done doing some development shit on it.

A 1,1 (early 2006) mac mini, can run 1.7.5 when you put a core 2 duo in it, flash the firmware and have 2gb ram.
I also had to fuck around with my installer usb I made, and replace some strings and an installer package, but not everyone has to. But I needed to be able to run Java 8 on it, so I had to get 10.7 working

I highly doubt it was in constant use, it only has scratches. I bought it 2 weeks ago off ebay for $40. Its comfy for a 2nd gen one though leopard is shit (I'll install tiger after i get a 120gb hard drive for it for old games.)
Its only used for IRC and other simple chats right now.
>>54445336
If you can get legacy captcha enabled maybe you can pipe it through.
>>54443029
68k/PPC boxes are pretty nice and generally have a pretty knowledgable user base. It's just the x86 shit that attracts retards like flies on shit.
>>54450277
$40 is pretty good, it's in good condition. It must either be the 867MHz or 1GHz model, unless you XPostFacto'ed Leopard onto it. And yeah, Leopard will be pretty painful due to processor bottleneck, a machine like that is much better with OS 9 and/or Tiger. Or you can fuck around with Debian or OpenBSD.
>>54450359
Yeah, its the 550 with 512mb of ram. It seems like the seller just cloned the OS off a G5 onto it. I might just put leopard on my dual 450's 3rd hard drive for keks. There was a 1ghz on sale during the same time but i had already bid on this one.
>>54450476
Oh wow, well you must have a lot of patience. If I were you I'd probably use it exclusively as a OS 9 machine or maybe chuck MorphOS on it, it's niche as fuck and doesn't have much software but it runs amazingly on G4s and is about the only OS on PPC that has somewhat of a future.
>>54450557
Eh, its nowhere near my main machine, just something to mess around with while watching youtube. I definitely will put OS9 on it alongside tiger. MorphOS looks interesting but im of the mind that macs should run macos. I might install it but i probably wont.

>>54451828
You definitely should, they're also worth more with the speakers (if you decide to sell it in the future).
>>54451804
Use it. If it's a DDR model it will probably be a pretty good general use box, I run a first gen 800 MHz and it was bearable as a shitposting machine before I rolled it back to 10.2 with shit browser support. Now I just use it for Mathematica, SSH and non-JS web surfing.
>>54451840
eh, the 15" is meh but its decently spec'd for a ppc mac. Install tiger and classic mode for old amc games. Or just use it as a decoration/photo frame.

>>54451861
which version of OS X do you think would serve it best for light browsing/shitposting? i need to do a fresh install anyway
>>54451935
10.4 or 10.5.
Afaik TenFourFox is the only ppc browser still supported by devs. http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/
>>54451935
10.4 for maximum utility if you've got >768MB RAM I think.
10.3 might be a reasonable option too, not sure on browser support however.
I've been using OS X on and off since Tiger and El Capitan is the best version so far. The people who are crying never have more than a handful of small personal issues like "I don't like how iTunes/Safari looks" or "I don't like how they ruined the green button".
The rest of /g/ is full of retards who think the only thing that matters when it comes to computer is how fast it is.
>>54443029
No, because Mac threads are inherently shitposting threads.

this desu senpai
Since updating my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013, Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Storage 500G) to El Capitan (now version 10.11.3), it crashes when I try to respond to or forward an email. This doesn't happen all the time but occurs randomly for no apparent reason. One it starts to happens, it continues until I either force quit Mail or, quite often, until I rebook my Mail. At times, I need to do this more than once before it behaves normally for a while and then the whole process starts all over again. This problem can recur several times daily and is a very major nuisance and time waster.
I have tried various suggestions I found online including deactivating each of my accounts and re-adding them one by one but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
>>54451968
We're having pretty civil discussion here about PPC hardware.
Facebook tards and their meme-ridden bait and MacBook blogs do not constitute the entire platform.
Okay, so I'm running El Capitan. I need a printer / scanner. I bought a brand new one about a month ago. It didn't work. It wouldn't scan. Apparently it wasn't compatible. I took it back. For the last month or so, every time I see one at the store, I pull out my iPhone and google the printer name / model number with El Capitan, and the first 5 hits are forum messages about it not being compatible.
So, help me out here kids:
What Printer / Scanners are actually compatible with El Capitan? It must print in color and scan.
If there aren't any, then why the heck not, and is anyone doing anything at Apple to roll out an OS that actually works with simple peripherals??
There must be someone on these forums successfully running a printer/scanner on El Capitan without extortionist 3rd party software that only partially works.
>>54452022
Did you delete the comment threading? Apple Mail (and pretty much every other mail client) starts to have problems when the backlog on emails get excessively long.

After the install of El Capitan, Safari 9.0 keeps locking up and or crashing.
I have a Mac Book Pro 15'' 2.3 GHz i7, 4GB Memory, 500 GB HD, iOS 10.11
When using Safari, I will have class work up and YouTube or iTunes playing. Before El Capitan it would do those processes with out a problem. Now it seems to lock up, unable to refresh, unable to exit Safari. I have to force quit and shutdown to try and get control back. Occasionally even after the shut down it will still lock up.

after upgrading to el capitan the usb-hub connected to macbookpro (during boot-up flashing, went dead when bott-up completed) is not recognized any longer, connecting my external keyboard directly to the usb-port of the mac has no effect, it is not recognized. what is to do? should I reverse the upgrade and return to os x yosemite (no problem tere)? How can I reverse the upgrade?
I recently got a 17" iMac (late06/early07 intel model). Got OSX reinstalled and updated to 10.7.5 which is as high as it'll go.
I was considering upgrading the hard drive, and the 2gb's of ram, and MAYBE the CPU. I'm thinking if i open it up at all i would be re-doing some thermal paste anyways, so might as well upgrade the CPU if im pulling everything out. Would upgrading any of this stuff require me to do something absurd? Or is it all pretty much just plug and play? ONLY reason i ask is because its a Mac, and why the fuck wouldn't they have some kind of absurd shit for just upgrading something simple?
Also I'd like to dual boot with windows 7. Would all the various hardware work just fine? Mainly thinking of things like the WiFi driver, so i wouldn't need any additional wireless adapters to have it work. Mainly would want to do this because trying to run even the most simple games seem to have frame rate issues in OSX.
Recommended Torrent client for OSX?
After updating to 10.11.4 on my brand new iMac 27" my magic mouse and keyboard can no longer connect with bluetooth. At the top right the bluetooth icon says Bluetooth: Not available when clicked. There is also no bluetooth option in preferences. HELP!!!
we were having such a nice thread as well
I installed 10.11.4 on March 24 (I believe), and since that day my iMac has been unstable. It reboots on it's own, like a kernel panic but never logging a kernel panic. This reboot doesn't seem to be triggered by software I run, as I've been removing things to try to isolate the problem.
Yesterday Apple Support had me reinstall the os via cmd-r boot option, and that did not solve the problem... it just ate up an hour of my time.
Any suggestions? My iMac went from super stable to super unstable; it's worse than my Windows gaming pc for stability now.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 32GB ram
>>54443131
El Cap's not that bad. Hated it when it came out. Basically Apple is now like every other tech company: wait for version x.1 or x.2. Maybe even x.3.
10.6 was the shit though. I will always love Snow Leopard.
>>54452141
Just report the posts. He's spamming.
I updated to El Capitan today.
However, after doing this, my internet plugin stick is no longer working.
To explain further:
1. I plug in stick
2. CD symbol shows up (underneath says "AIS_Aircard")
3. I double click AIS_Aircard
4. I proceed on steps to install (prior to el capitan, a small screen would show up, and I would simply click connect and be connected to internet...however this wasn't possible since installing el capitan)
5. "The Installation failed. The installer could not install software. The Installer could not install the software because there was no software to install"
6. I uninstallled AIS Aircard
7. I attempted to install AIS Aircard again
8. "The Installation failed. The installer could not install software. The Installer could not install the software because there was no software to install"
Anyone have tips or ideas to help?
I purchased a MacBook Pro Retina Early 2015 Model and is currently running OS X 10.11.4. From day one, there has been an inconsistent issue where my whole Mac would freeze as soon as I try playing a video. This did not occur consistently so I thought it had been a small issue which would have been fixed with an update. Soon enough, earlier today, the same thing happened, whole Mac froze (trackpad no longer clicks, keyboard is unresponsive and screen is frozen) when I tried to play a video on FaceBook. I've tried disabling flash, use Chrome or other browsers, did a fresh install of OS X El Capitan as well as OS X Yosemite, but that did nothing.
Any possible suggestions as to what is going on? I was going to take it in for inspection under warranty but want to make sure before doing so as it is so inconsistent and happens randomly.
>>54443337
>iOS and OSX are the most locked down operating systems
>says the guy who has never touched OS X
iOS is locked down.
OS X is not. You can run any software you want any time you want. If you get a warning head to preferences and change the security level. (Or just right click / open for one app.) But don't cry like a bitch if you run an unsigned app from muhFileSharing.com that's a trojan.
OS X is locked down in terms of hardware because Apple's money is made on hardware. That said, they haven't done anything really to stop Hackintosh.
Since update, the keyboard/typing occasionally stalls and shows me alternate letter options, and there is a kind of fluttering key sound, like someone is pressing my keys. The only fix is to restart. Happened in Preview and in Firefox and in LibreOffice. Can't figure out a cause, but it works for a day, then starts up again. I restart because I fear a kernel panic (paranoid).

My old Macbook pro needed to upgrade to run a certain software application so I clicked on upgrade to El Capitan. It went through the entire process but failed to upgrade. Now my ONLY option is to restart or shut down. Either choice I make it will begin the entire process of upgrading again (failing each time) I seem to have lost all of my data and my old operating system. Is there any way to 'revert' back to the old system the way it was before the upgrade? Or do I just throw the $1200 computer in the trash?

>muh pr stunt meme!
Apple HAS to comply with a lawful warrant for information in their custody. They can decrypt anything on iCloud, including hardware passwords that you've elected to let them store in case you forget.
But Apple is also the only major valley firm I know of who is actively trying to design hardware such that if you don't use the cloud then they physically cannot comply with a warrant. Secure Enclave is basically a gigantic "fuck you" to the three letter agencies. And I guarantee the next iteration will plug the holes revealed by the trial.
So don't tell me it's a "pr stunt." Even if it's for cash and prizes in the marketplace, Apple is the only one doing something about it.

I have USB 3.0 devices that first register as 3.0 when the computer boots, then shortly after that, they are downgraded to 2.0 ports. I understand that this is from the code changes Apple made in El Capitan.
What gives Apple? This issue has been around for over a year and you still haven't fixed it? No wonder your stock is going down!
If this has been fixed, please tell me how I can fix mine as this is very frustrating.

I updated my MacbookPro Retina 15' Early 2013 when El capitan was launched,the boot up time was as always (13 sec,15..)... Months later, I had some kernel panics due to VMWare Fusion, so, I had to come back to Yosemite because I needed to use this virtualization software and I couldn't wait for solving El capitan's bugs. The boot up time was as always again. Now, I want to install El Capitan, but I don't want an operating system that takes to start the double as the previous version, I think is a bug from El capitan 10.11.4, but it's so hilarious. I 've done clean install , erasing the disk, and install from an USB, and I always have the same problem, finally, I have to install Yosemite( the boot up time is as always(13 secs)).
Does anyone have an idea?

My computer (a late 2015, Retina 5K, 27-inch iMac running OS 10.11.3) crashes daily, sometimes twice a day. I've contacted Apple Care and they've run diagnostics with no apparent issues. The only solution is to bring in the computer, which is extremely inconvenient and something I'd rather do as a last resort (it will mean stopping my production for a day or two, likely reinstalling 25+ software applications, losing me quite a bit of billing time, etc.).

Hey guys,
since I've updated to El Capitan I'm noticing some UI lag on my Retina MacBook Pro Mid 2014, 2,2 GHz, 16 GB Ram, Intel Iris Pro. The UI performance in Finder ist great but almost every switch between fullscreen apps is choppy and laggy.
I've tried PRAM- and SMC resets but nothing helped.
I hope you have some ideas.

Holy shit, you're still shitposting? Shouldn't you be preparing for finals? If you fail high school again your step dad will rape you for sure.
>>54452406
If they've been fighting for years then it should be easy to link us some cases and similar PR stunts they've pulled to protect your privacy.
Instead you come back with memes and non-sequiturs, did you even read the post before you fired that canned horse shit back, or were you too distracted blogging about your shitty gaming rig in a guts thread?
Never anywhere did I say what Apple did WASN'T a PR stunt, but you'd have to be deluded if you think companies like Google whose entire business model is based on privacy violation will give one fuck about keeping your data private from any interested party with enough money or clout to catch their eye.

I tried to restore my Macbook as i always have sucessfully only this time it looks as if its downloading El Captain normally, then it gets stuck at the end. With a remaing time of 80 hrs. My Macbook has been stuck there every since last night. How do i fix this?
>>54452240
Can't really tech support from /g/. But two things:
* I had a friend whose MBP would not update. After messing with it and trying some GoogleFu I discovered that memory compression and page were off. I don't know why because you have to get into Terminal and sudo to turn them off, and he would have never done that.
Turning them back on OR just resetting the PRAM fixed the issue and the update completed.
* If it's a non-retina pro a knowledgeable user with another Mac could easily pull your drive, plug it into their Mac, save your data, and install an older OS.

The Preview app in El Capitan has serious memory leak problem. Open a 100MB pdf file, scroll for a while, it will easily consumes giga bytes of RAM! Once it used 8G!
>>54452493
The tech support posts are just spam.

I HATE El Capitan.
How do I go back to my old operating system and take this g.d. El Capitan off my computer? It is completely disabling me. I cannot get into my work webmail account. I cannot access Outlook. My passwords no longer work no matter how many times I enter them. Who thought this OS was a good idea? Who put it out there without testing it? For pity's sake, Apple. You can do better.

The NSA tapped Apple's leased Internet lines. No evidence Apple knew or allowed it. The NSA typically did this shit via the major telcoms. Google in particular was fucking furious and started using SSL encryption for all data sent over 3rd party leased lines.
Even if it turns out Apple did cooperate, they would have had to if handed one of the "muh national security!" letters from our fucked up government.
That doesn't change the fact that Secure Enclave is basically designed to make it impossible to comply.

Someone knows about this "adware.Mac.genieo.jy" ?
My antivirus found it on my Mac and cannot erase it.
Since 2 weeks, my computer almost doesn´t work anymore (takes 5 real minutes to open a simple Word document without pictures) although I have a i7, 2,9GhZ, 8Gb Memory, still 300Go available on the drive.

Dear community-members from the future
Greetings. I’m Bryon and my alert dialog is saying “the operation couldn’t be completed”
When can I hear what operation can’t be completed? I’d like to teach ‘error 1’ (to learn the meaning of CoreDAVErrorDomain.)
Hello to everyone, to start i apologize in advance for my english since it's not my first language.
I own a new MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early 2015.
Since the last 5 months i had the OSX El Capitan 11.10.3 that came out of the box with the computer. And it worked always perfectly.
In the latest 5 months the mac never gave me any kind of issues!!
I use mostly the computer for listen music, browsing, chatting or writing texts
Unfortunately i have to say, a couple of days ago on the App Store i noticed a new Update of OSX the "11.10.4" version and i decided to upgrade.
Well after a couple of hours i upgraded to the newer version my mac started to have several issues.
First of all the Fans. Without any kind of reason after 1 or 2 hour after the upgrade (i was simply browsing the web with 2 pages open on safari in specific facebook and youtube)
The fans started to run really crazy and loud for 3/4 minutes... so loud that i thought that the computer was exploding and i closed all the application and waited for the fans to runs slow. To the touch the aluminum of the mac was not hot... Ambient temperature.
Last but absolutely not least.... FREEZING!!! Strangely also this problem showed up the same day i upgraded my macbook pro to the 11.10.4 version and this happened to me about 5 times right now!! and it's becoming a nightmare!!
While using the computer the mac just simply freeze the screen (mouse is stuck without the wheel is totally freeze) and after 4/5 seconds that the screen is stuck also the haptic vibration of the trackpad stops work. I tried to leave the mac like this for about 10 minute but nothing... only an hard reset can solve this problem..
Last time happened just an hour ago circa and this is why i'm here..
I already tried Apple Diagnostic but it's completely fine showing a message "No Issues Found" ADP000.
I'm not a technician i don't know what kind of problem is...
Anyone of you is experiencing this problems on their macs?

Upgraded to OS El Capitan this morning on my daughter's personal laptop as she backed up her school (apple) laptop to it as her school laptop was having issues. Had to upgrade to the latest OS as her school laptop was on the latest OS and her school docs would not open on her personal laptop (she was on Mavericks). Ran into admin password issues so connected with Chat and got that fixed but by fixing that they then created lots of keychain issues. I was directed to a support document, which did nothing. I was told to finish the upgrade to El Capitan and maybe that would fix the keychain issues - WRONG! Now it is a 50/50 chance that when I get to the sign in page - I will either get stopped there with the keychain error pop ups or it will allow me to the desktop view. I'm beyond disgusted at this point as what should have been simple has become a living nightmare.
I have checked thru the archives and found lots of keychain items but nothing seems to fix mine.
I'm getting the following:
* talagent wants to use the "Local Items" keychain.
my admin and my signon passwords do not work
so I press cancel, then I get
* Messages Agent wants to use the "local items" keychain
my admin and signon passwords do not work
so I press cancel, then I get
* CommCenter wants to use the "local items" keychain
my admin and signon passwords do not work
so I press cancel, then just the continual Messages Agent pop up error
Please help

i sure was connected before my upgrade!

i am writing from my macbook pro, which i upgraded before the imac. i had the same problem there and wandered into a solution, which i don't remember well. i found my wifi network name and signed in.

I have a new 2015 rMBP 13" that is freezing while in Safari. I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue, or a software issue. It only occurs in Safari and never happens in any other program so that leads me to believe it's related to something in Safari? I've only had the machine for a couple of weeks.
The machine is running 10.11.4
Can anyone walk me through a way to find out what is causing the issues?
I have 2011 Macbook Pro with El Capitan upgraded from Yosemite
Whenever I re-start the computer and go to right click on the desktop or any other place I get the spinning Beach Ball of Death
Also the menu bar at the top of the screen takes a while to load.
This issue was not there in Yosemite. Is anyone else having these issues.

My computer is iMac, late 2012. 2.9 GHz, 8 GB. Upgraded yesterday to El Capitan. EC is so slow, I can't do anything. Can I go back to my previous OS? How do I do that?
My Late 2013 rMBP is beachballing endlessly and locking up 3-5 times per day. This is a machine I use for work, so reliability is critical to client service. The lock-ups occur even with only minimal applications running (e.g., Word and Adobe Acrobat Pro). I see that others are having similar issues, but don't see a solution that appears to fit my circumstance. Any help sorting this out would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Since upgrading to El Captitan I have to turn my wireless keyboard off and on after almost every system sleep in order to make it usable again. Otherwise El Cap or any app would react to keyboard strokes with a distinct delay and often by repeating a single stroke many times.
With Yosemite everything was fine.
My setup: trackpad, mighty mouse and keyboard, all wireless, on a late 2013 27" i7 iMac with 32 GB RAM, latest OS X.
Any ideas?

I recently updated to El Capitan on my Mac only to discover that my Bigpond mail folders did not come back into Mail after the download and the restart. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, what did you do to retrieve the lost mail. I have been in touch with Telstra and they say it is an Apple problem. I have also tried the "rebuild" option in mailboxes, and the re-indexing option. No success.>>54452697
I got a brand new macbook in 2015 & I loved it. The other day I downloanded El Capitan. I figured why would apple make software that would turn there product to **** so I downloaded. Boy I couldn't have been more wrong. Macbook move so slowly no & in the last few days i've seen the rainbow spinning circle more times than I have in the entire time I've had my mac. Not to mention when online I'm forced to quite firefox at least 3-4 times a day. Besides poor judgement of allowing a program on my computer that would turn it into crap I made the worst mistake of not backing up beforehand so it's not like i can just go back to what I had the day before I downloaded. Apple doesn't even care! I'm so tempted to go back to a pc. Anyone have any suggestions on how to speed up my computer &/or fix internet? or am i screwed till apple starts to care about the product they put out?

Recently, my MBP occasionally has wild humming sound, probably the CPU fan, out of nowhere. The room is cool and well ventilated, I have no program running except word, excel, and google chrome. It happens 3, 4 times a day.
My questions are: 1) Is this because of malware/spyware, and how to eliminate the noise. 2) Which antivirus/anti-malware/anti-spyware will best protect my MBP.

I have a mid-2012 MBP, i5, 4 GB ram, running El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E65). My macbook has been slow since the upgrade to Yosemite, and has not improved with El Cap. This is most noticeable when starting up, waking from sleep, and especially starting apps/opening files. Usually once an app is open things run pretty good, but can have a few minutes of slow response to typing etc. One of the worst is powerpoint (fair enough) which will bounce up and down for a good two minutes, then another 2 minutes to open a file, but really all apps are affected with startup. Spotlight is beyond slow, it takes minutes to load results. Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated

So i just installed OS X El Capitan and now my MacBook is so slow and keeps freezing, I've cleaned my MacBook and it's still slow and still freezing. I tried to turn off filevault encryption but it says I can't turn it off until it finshes encryption i tried restarting it but nothing works. I also have a problem with the wifi connection it says that it's connected but won't open anything and i'll have a message saying there is no internet connection. I have a MacBook pro 13 inch, early 2011. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! i can't really take it to anyone because i have exams in a couple of days and i need mine to study. Thanks in advance

Ok so I have a 15" Macbook Pro late 2011 and I also had a 13" Macbook Pro Mid- 2010 that I gave to a friend of mine.
They both run ok with El Capitan.
As for >>54453197 it is a matter of fact you will have to live with. Maybe check activity monitor but a computer that age is going to be slower. You said it though once things are open they run pretty well. Just recognize that El Capitan is better with an SSD.
As for >>54453324 Move your files and reinstall OSX. Maybe your computer is full of shit; look out for mackeeper and other malware. Remember your computer is a tool and try not to bog your tool down with crap.
Both of you have aging machines; be thankful they have lasted as long as they have and be aware they have more time. Getting slower is a natural bi-product I mean ffs that is Moores law.
The more I read this thread the more I realize /g/ is too tech illiterate to use OSX El Capitan like HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT IS BABBY OS. I love it because I never have to worry but how the fuck did you plebs fuck up machines less than half the age of mine !

buying a 2015 13 inch macbook pro over a windows laptop was one of the best tech related decisions i've ever made. it's perfect and it's even a better windows laptop than most actual windows laptops. great display, great keyboard (for a laptop), best touchpad i've ever used and forcetouch is game changing and very underrated, amazing battery life, great portability (had a big ass vaio before this and i dreaded having to carry that thing out of the house, and os x is a very good os
New MacBook Just Started to Freeze... It happens in Chrome, and in Photos 3x in 10 minutes. I am seeing this comment everywhere now and all are using this version of El Capitan and all in different browsers and programs. There has to be a bug here and it needs to be fixed now. I've had to reboot now 4x in last hour. This is not why we buy Macs.

About a week or two ago, I started having two issues.
1. Safari won't close, even with a force quit. I hold down the power button to reboot and when the computer reboots I open safari and try to close it again, it does the same thing.
2. I start with 32GB after a restart, but after an hour or so, I get messages that say I only have a few MB of space left and that the drive is running out of room. I delete some things to clear room, and it fills right back up. When I restart, it goes right back to the 32GB.
Any ideas? Are these related?
