    macOS Sierra

    I am not a developer, but I used googled methods to download Sierra,(on a separate partition) on my Imac), TVOS 10(had to buy a C cable) for the Apple TV, and the new OS10 remote, and IOS 10 for my Ipad. It does take some searching, I used the ipsw method after a couple of failed attempts. ron

    Onyx Go to https://www.macupdate.com/ download "Onyx" which will help delete caches and such that you may have never maintained. When you say it is not zippy if you are talking about the browser you may want to try "chromium" again on Mc update. It is much faster than safari(in my opinion)...

    iPad Mini Announced

    Thanks for the replies, I have 10.6.3 Itunes and use it to send from the G5 to an ATV3. The answer may be the Lightning USB cable to Itunes. I have my fingers crossed. I have considered the Mini for a long time, but have decide to wait for the 27 inch Imac with retina display which I suspect...
