I have a Time Machine backup but it only goes back to June 2017. Other posters say they have so much trouble with High Sierra. I dont know how to have him see my question again, but another person (rkaufmann87) has answered the question I had. When I opened the question up there was the message on top, looks like no one has responded in a while. I thought I have accidentally replied to myself before which I deleted (in another case), but your probably correct. I really appreciate all the help and good advice you gave me and hope that you can see my question again. My new question about this: 1) Use Disk Utility from the recovery partition to verify that your hard drive is working properly (no reported errors). Once the upgrade is complete and you are satisfied everything is running fine, reconnect the backup drive and make a new backup. Go to the MAIN PAGE of the App Strore, not the Updates tab.I find the opportunity for install errors is greater when using the OS upgrade option from the Update tab.įrom the right side of the main page select macOS Sierra (see below): 6 ) from there follow the on-screen prompts and instructions. You have more that enough hardware power to nicely run the most current OS version.Īllen Jones answered on 032118 10:39 AM I find the best way to do a major OS upgrade is: 1) Use Disk Utility from the recovery partition to verify that your hard drive is working properly (no reported errors).Įject and disconnect the backup drive when the backup is done.
I had other questions too, but I dont need to know about those now.Īllens response was: We have a 2011 21.5-inch iMac with the 2.5Ghz i5 processor and 8GB RAM and it runs as well with the current OS, 10.12.6, as it did with 10.8 with which it shipped. I remember seeing notices about upgrading when I would go into the App Store, but I was unsure whether it was a good thing to upgrade or not. The Processor is 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, and memory is 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. This is my first Apple computer and I have questions about whether I should upgrade the operating system and if so, what should I do. He answered 3 days ago (32118), but when I click on reply, nothing happens.
