He upgraded from Snow Leopard to El Capitan. (Whether he will upgrade to Sierra I don't know). He has already told me not to buy the XXXXX for Dummies series. 2016-12-02T23:00:36+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1389#6542 Tony Still info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ This may be a silly reply but a lot of people miss the fact that Apple provides a 'proper' user manual for each Mac/OS version combination. They're not 'proper' in the paper sense but they're well written PDFs, running to many pages. RTFM indeed, starting here. 2016-12-03T21:51:14+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1389#6545 Euan Williams info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ In addition to Tony's Apple manuals, O' Reilly are due to have their "macOS Sierra: The Missing Manual" by David Pogue and his team out in December if all goes well. It will be available in Paperback, and PDF/eBook formats. This is the latest in the venerable series; they have been the only books that are useful in getting to grips with OSX/macOS beyond the simple basics. All the others I have seen run out of juice just when you need serious information. All are written with good humour for the non-geek, and are worth a look here. A fairly large chunk of the book can be explored through the "Look Inside" PDF provided.
