OS X automatically optimizes storage so that more frequently used files move to the SSD. For those who don’t have a Fusion drive, it’s a combination of fast SSD storage and a slower hard-disk. Our reader’s illustration of the problem with being unable to delete a partition on a Fusion drive.īut Fusion is a finicky beast. If you’re running an older version of OS X, you may need version 5.5.3 or 5.6.1. Version 5 also ran on Lion and, if memory serves, Mountain Lion. How do I restore the lost program?Īpple updated its AirPort Utility from version 5, which runs on pre-Lion Macs, to version 6 in 2012. I lost it by using “clean my Mac” software. I have a 13-inch laptop at home using previous AirPort Utility software. If you own any other professional software packages, it’s worth checking their policies individually, but for any software that has to check in with an Internet server to validate it can be used, you can almost always use a website or the software itself to disable its use on other computers. In Creative Cloud, click its menu bar icon or bring up its window, click the gear (Settings) icon, choose Preferences, and click Sign Out. It’s best to use the built-in tool to disconnect before switching to a new computer. ![]() Its Creative Cloud suite, you have a limit as to the number of Macs for which you can be authorized at once. Some individual software packages handle this differently. That's why I'm knocking two stars off, because Apple when decided to stop supporting these guys they decided to also prevent the older software from running normally, preventing them from being reconfigured on a Mac.īut once it's set up you'll be so glad you did.Creative Cloud deauthorizes a computer when you sign out from its helper app. In fact, it may be easier to set up on a Windows PC. Here's the catch: you need extra software to initially set it up (Apple AirPort Utility), and if you're doing so on a Mac you'll actually need to download a modified, *older* version of AirPort Utility, as the latest versions completely remove support for these old guys. You can buy a Raspberry Pi and SD card and set them up to do the same thing, but it's going to take a lot of effort and time to initially set up (and you better be familiar with Linux o r willing to learn!), or you can buy an outdated AirPort Express for a fraction of the price, set it up, and play music through it. This is the device that introduced AirTunes (which became AirPlay when it was expanded to the Apple TV and video support was added), and it remains very useful as a digital audio streaming target. IPhones and iPod touch devices, as well as Mac computers, or iTunes on a Windows PC can all stream audio to Apple AirPlay- and AirTunes-certified devices. However, this thing is extremely useful for one purpose: wireless music streaming from an Apple device. ![]() This product is outdated at this point, and the wireless router/cable modem combination I get from Time Warner Cable is much more capable than this thing is. This is the cheapest way to stream music from an iPhone or iPod, but it's a bit of a pain to configure at first.
