    Can I install Safari on my PC?

    Re: install safari on pc Unfortunately there is no up to date version of Safari for Windows. There is Safari 5 for Windows though, but it hasn't been updated since 2012. You can download WebKit Nightly and run that to get the layout engine for it. I prefer Safari 3 though as it looks more like...

    My iPhone is coming up with 'slide to upgrade' but won't let me. Is this meant to happen?

    I saw this headlined in Google News a couple of days ago, and is quite a common problem, especially for those who went from iOS 7 to iOS9, skipping 8. I don't know the fix though.

    Hi iMore, just come from MacRumors.

    Hi iMore and fellow Apple fans, my name's Jake and long time user of MacRumors. Got pretty bored there and looked for something new. Must say I love your website and videos, and the community seem friendly. Look forward to meeting some new friends here! :O )

    Best way to run Windows 10

    Yup, do yourself a favour and don't use Windows 10. It is in-secure, shares everything you do to Microsoft without your consent or knowledge, and is completely ridden with bugs. Heck I even lost access to the start menu and 'cortana' with a very annoying message that would pop up asking me to...

    How can I delete OS X photos?

    Re: can i delete OS X photos If iPhoto is still present in your Applications folder, you can still run it by selecting it, right clicking and selecting Show Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > double click iPhoto.

    Best way to run Windows 10

    Personally, I hate Windows 10, so I use Windows 7, and that is under Parallels. I won't let Microsoft's buggy OS running natively on my expensive hardware.

    TRIM Enabler

    Wrong. Since Yosemite 10.10.5 you can enable TRIM on non-apple SSD's with the sudo trimforce enable command in Terminal. El Cap on most configs switches this on automatically.

    EL Capitan new ERROR SIGN!!

    Try resetting the PRAM, or as a last resort order a dual layer Yosemite (bootable) DVD from Amazon. You can pick these DVD's for less than $20.

    OS X El Capitan GM

    Definitely the most refined release since Snow Leopard.

    Safe to install gm?

    It's very stable for me, and is much more responsive that Yosemite was on the same hardware. There are a few apps that won't work due to the new 'rootless' security but other than that I'm satisfied. Just make sure you perform a full Time Machine backup before you make the upgrade. And by the...

    How about iphone 5s upgrade iOS9.0?? Will it be very slow??

    It will be fine, heck I'm using it on my iPhone 4S and it's wonderful. It does work better with bigger screens, but I'm more than satisfied with it. Actually, it's more optimised than iOS 7 ever was on the device.
