I know there is a joint Computer solving thread but the few Apple questions on there do sometimes get missed, so thought that I would set up a dedicated one for the Mac.

...Bye the way I am quite Computer illiterate apart from what I have picked up...so no point In asking me much -):

Ian,

I wonder If you could make this thread available on the Investors side as well please?

Mine is a 13" retina, early 2015, Kim and Mojave installed without a hitch from High Sierra.

Iturama, I have a 15" 2016 running High Sierra, version 10.13.6. I haven't tried resetting SMC yet, may do in a couple of weeks, that may make a difference. There are a lot of grumpy MacBook Pro users out there!😃

Kim, I popped into my Apple store last week and there's been no problems in my area at all, temped to download Mojave but still hesitating on the basis that "he who dares can come a cropper". -):

Well so long as you have everything backed up before you try! iCloud backup would not have been sufficient to restore my computer, thankful I had a time capsule!

I don't/won't use the so called cloud until I'm forced to and in no rush at the moment as other things on, time capsule sounds the back-up to use as you say when I do update the OS.

Any benefits for us share shifters in using Mojave at all would you say or not, if there are what are they?

It might be an improvement Stan and look nice but I cannot see any real advantage as such; there is a Stock App now but I shouldn't think it is any different to the one on my iPhone other than it will be on a bigger screen!

Thanks Kim I've more time this week so intend to bite the bullet and download on the Desk Top and iPad, at least we will be up to date which is something I used not to do until I had to.

Good luck Stan, I'm sure it will be fine!

Never mind Stan, if you mess it up you can make an informed decision later.

Both devices installed and up and working Kim so much relieved 😎

Very good Stan! Is there a big difference?

Fine so far Kim I will update later in the day...but so far so good.

I think this sites a bit quicker and might be even quicker if I remove the browser cookies, I've only removed the cookies for this site so far.

Well I'm glad you are still bug free Stan!😊

You haven't seen his house Kim.

Well I should be Kim I've just had my 3 monthly shower... weather I needed it or not 😇

Whether the weather warranted it or not Stan. No wonder Hays has had enough.

Looking for some advice here. I’m getting e mails from my own address (imap account) or more specifically mail delivery system failure e mail from my domain name hosting service as it has correctly failed the e mail as spam and returned it to me! The failed e mails include correct but out of date passwords I’ve used and claim a trojan can access my contacts etc and web cam and demands for bitcoin ransom.
My hosting provider says nothing to worry about giving the usual advice re passwords, opening attachments, using multiple addresses for different purposes etc.
Anyone experienced the same or similar? Do I need virus/malware software (mac/ipad and iphone).
TIA
