This is probably a really dumb question as we are very IT illiterate I'm afraid. We have a mac OSX 10.6.8 which has increasingly slowed down over the past months and we no longer get automatic updates for it. Delivering fast and powerful native applications for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, cloud and IoT. Rapidly design, build, and run applications optimized for native performance, from a single code base across all platforms.
5 May was the day SL died for me. I knew it was coming and was prepared, but still, it hurt. A lot It wasn’t that Snow Leopard died, the soil around was poisoned by lack of support. The last blow for me was a “You need to update your browser” at a mission critical website (AuthorizeNet). And with that, I was done swimming against the current.
If a SL theme could be made for El Cap, in all the SL glory, I would be content. But since it can’t, the good days, with lots of memories, are gone: Hotline, Read more ». Wow, first time to write into a website and it was the subject of Snow Leopard that did it. I still use Snow Leopard, and for one reason – it just works. Sadly, Apple has forgotten the meaning.
If Apple spent the time to get an OS right BEFORE releasing it, instead of having to fix, release and re-release a so-called new OS ever other week, no telling how more productive, and profitable we all could be. I still need Rosetta, because I get sent old files that won’t open without older versions of Quark and Freehand. Hopw to swap image in powerpoint for mac. And speaking of Read more ». There is a massive amount of research that shows that human memory performance is, well, pretty forgettable (if you’ll pardon the intentional pun). That certainly applies to Snow Leopard. Yeah, it was better than Leopard and yeah, it was way more stable than most of the crap that Craig Federighi has brought us.
But here’s one memory I have of Snow Leopard my office is upstairs and our data center is downstairs I’d head down to the data center carrying my open laptop and, as I walked down the stairs, it would kernel panic! And it was repeatable Read more ». The Get Info window in Snow Leopard contained more relevant and useful information, especially about music files. To restore some of that convenience, I have to use the third party app, mp3-Info. And to locate where the music file is stored, in the many instances where I actually don’t wish to just open it up by clicking on it, I have to hold down the Cmd key for what seems like half an hour while Spotlight grinds slowly away to finally reveal the path. Both irritations could possibly be circumvented if I used iTunes I know, but I don’t need Read more ». Things I like about Sierra: Steam.
Also the ability to play World Of Warships – Mac port, that is one SICK beautiful looking game that the PC has had for years. Technically my 5,5 running Sierra is punching above it’s weight because of graphics requirements but it seems to cook just fine even in online real-time battles.
