Hi,
I read somewhere in Apple's support pages or somewhere similar, that it is best

download the combosx installer from apple's support pages. Just do a ssearch
for it. the file should read as follows:
osxupdcombo10.11.3.
Just an observation. Even when the system has booted and taken care

For what it's worth, I've never gone below 2.5GB free in my iCloud storage, and

Hi,
Actually Chris, this is a common misconception. When your iDevice is backed up
to iCloud, the entire device is not necessarily backed up. That is, the OS and
pre-installed apps are grabbed from Apple, only markers and setup info is
stored for your apps as they are downloaded after the fac
The downside of iCloud backups is (I suspect) most folks have the free
5GB of storage while most phones have a lot more than this to backup. I
imagine very few people can use iCloud backup without either paying for
more storage or stripping down what gets backed up to a bare minimum.

Ok, here's the thing. If you check "Speak Menus", then voiceover will
