Basically, you have to leave all of your info available and accessible through iCloud. Privacy considerations may apply...

Time marches on, good to see new stuff coming out . . . but I think I may not adopt early, if at all. Certainly my older iMac, set up for my wife but little used, dates back to 2009 or earlier, and would not be worth upgrading to a more demanding OS.

I can see the theoretical advantage of tabs in Numbers, but realistically I haven’t used Numbers much lately, other than as a sophisticated calculator - so expanded capability in it isn’t exciting.

Enjoy the convenience and security of Apple Pay when you shop on the web.
  • Use Apple Pay to make easy, secure payments when shopping in Safari on your Mac.
  • Complete your purchase with Touch ID on your iPhone or with your Apple Watch.
Presumably my wife’s iPad Pro would enable me to use this, tho they don’t mention that explicitly. I wonder what makes this better than using Apple Pay - which I have never used, but like in theory - directly on the iPad itself?

On the old iPad2 I have, I tried to upgrade to the latest security patch without success; says I’m short of space but I’m buffaloed trying to clear space out. I have some old talking book files that seem to amount to enough space to possibly make the upgrade work - but with all good will, I just have not been able to follow the directions I’ve been able to find. You would think I would be able to just highlight them and delete them, but no joy so far. Love GUI - when I don’t hate it . . .

Every penny paid to Apple pays a direct dividend to the Clinton’s and Globalism in general. This is primarily a Conservative political forum not a safe place for Apple Fanbois. I can comment on what I want and can laugh at effeminate Millennial paid Apple Salesmen.

Exactly why I don’t want to fund the Gates Foundation by using Windows.

Waiting a couple days to see if there are problems before I download.

On the other hand I’m at 10.68 with no plans to “upgrade” short of buying a new mac if old one dies.

I'm with you...when and if this one craps the bed, I'll buy a new MacBook Pro. This one is from early 2011.

I was completely unimpressed. It seems they asked their phone customers what they wanted in a computer not asking their computer customers what they wanted.

You assume that iPhone customers and Mac customers are two completely separate groups of people. They aren't. And with about 1.3 billion iPhones sold, that would seem to be the more promising growth market.

In Windows 10 their version of Siri will cause the Start button unable to be clicked on nor will you be able to right click on program icons on the taskbar and your wifi may not work.... No fix as I went thru this 3 times in one weekend. I am now using Windows 7.

Maybe Microsoft should hire the people who made Siri.

He also was born without a clue on this subject and has worked hard to never gain one. ;^)
