I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) model, with the standard 4GB of memory and an Intel Core i5 Processor that is running Yosemite. I have been reading all of the negative reviews and have put off upgrading to El Capitan, due to the fact that I need my laptop to be running at full strength for...

I have a 2013 MacBook Pro thats Running OSX Yosemite. Recently after it is in sleep mode and i try to power it back on, my username has an orange checkmark next to it and the background is different from what the background is of my actual desktop. Once i put my password in, it takes me to...

I'm thinking about installing Windows 8 (and later on Windows 10) on my MacBook Pro and I wanted to know if the applications that I have installed on my Mac would also work on the Windows portion of the computer. For example, I have Microsoft Office installed on my Mac. Would I have to...

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was just curious about the update and if it was worth installing or not? I usually am the first to jump on updates, but for some reason I've been very hesitant about installing Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. What do all of you who have installed it think...

Just wanted to let you all know that I decided to switch to the iPhone and that i just picked up my 5s!! Very excited to be back with the iPhone!! Thank you for all of your help/opinions! Can't wait to see you all again on the message boards again!

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I love pulling for the underdog and I really like trying new things that I think have the ability to take off. I really like the Apple Ecosystem, but I love the design of iOS. I've decided to give my Lumia until Sunday then make a decision on weather to...

If you have both the 925 and the 5s, what's your opinion? What do you use as your daily driver?

This is a really good description of what I did at first. I had an HTC Arrive running WP7 and after a few months I bought an iPhone 4 off contract and I was so amazed at how complete it felt, However i kept my HTC just so i could keep up with WP. Fast forward to now and I feel stuck in the same...

The lack of a proper notification center is so frustrating. My phone dings and I get it out of my pocket, then I have to search and figure out which app the notification came from.

Exactly. Like my battery will be at 42%, then an hour later after almost no use its dying. It makes no sense to me. I love WP8 just because it is so cool and unique, but my iPhone (even if iOS is rather stale in comparison IMO) was always solid and I almost never had any problems with it.

I just recently switched from my iPhone 4 to a Lumia 925 and I was so excited!! After having the phone for all of 2 days I've already had to do 2 soft resets and I've had the OS freeze up on me multiple times. These are the same problems that I had with my first Windows Phone and I ended up...

At the same time as iOS 7, OSX Mavericks, and (potentially) the iPhone 5s?

Now that WWDC has come and gone with no new iPad (as most of us expected) when do you guys think we will see the next generation iPad?

I finally switched to a Mac, but when i was installing iWork for it i couldn't help but notice that it was a version from 2009 and when i went and did some research, i noticed that iLife is the 2011 version. When do you guys think that Apple will update their iWork and iLife suites?

Hey guys, I wanted to get your opinions on if you think the Non-Retina Macbook pro will recieve any major updates during this upcoming refresh cycle? Maybe an upgrade to the new MagSafe? Or somehow make it a little bit lighter than it is now? Any Thoughts?
