The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.11/15/16

Is there any way I could markup web pages I’m navigating, even temporarily? There should be an extension I guess, but I can’t find any. Safari 10.0.1, macOS Sierra 10.12.1
And by the way, thank you Gerry for this marvelous site!

Besides my iMac Sierra, I own an iPad Air 2.
I want to give it to my spouse so that “nothing” related to my iMac is present in the iPad.
Q1: What do I have to do? I presume that she will have to create an Apple ID for herself and follow from there.
Q2: Would it ... (1 Comment)

Currently all three of my family’s Macs are backed up locally with Time Machine and online via Backblaze. The reason for subscribing this kind of service was to have a copy of our data in case of a major disaster at our house, but now that all our photos, music and (since ... (6 Comments)

I saw Dr.Cleaner in Apple Store.
Knowing your views on MacKeeper and similar packages, does the fact that this is listed and “reviewed” in Apple Store make it “worthwhile” item? Should Mac users (macOS Sierra in my case!) have this in their ... (3 Comments)

I purchased my first (and only) iMac in 2010 and it is just now starting to slow down a bit and I’m seeing the ‘color wheel’ more often. I’m concerned the new OS Sierra will be too much for my computer – is that a valid concern? It shows I have 326.6 ... (13 Comments)
