I was determined to follow through this time. So, I made sure all of my backups were current.Įven though I had learned about bootable disks years ago, I neglected to ever follow through and create one. I’ve had a backup procedure in place for years that is 3-tiered: (1) Manually back up all files to an external LaCie drive (which uses the FireWire port and is very fast) (2) Manually back up all files to an external USB drive (much slower than the Firewire device) (3) Automatic daily backups to a cloud service (I use iDrive). The most emphasized recommendations are to back up your computer and create a bootable disk in case you need to restore the operating system.

None of the download links I tried for them worked. I quickly discovered that El Capitan and Sierra are no longer available as downloads in the Apple store. I’ll just upgrade to El Capitan, which is the next OSX in the sequence:

One of the more promising tools I was considering for video conferencing-Skype for Business-requires Mac OS X El Capitan and higher (see system requirements).
That’s because my students are in Newton, Massachusetts and I now live in Florida. I am teaching my Graphic Design 2 class remotely this semester. What started as a simple need to install a software program gradually grew into a larger, more complex series of events.
Yes, you can have a snowball effect in sunny Florida! I know this because it happened to me this week.
