Don't Crush Me Mac OS

These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.

Don't Crush Me Mac Os X

A family member is having the same issue with loading Candy Crush Saga on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion. But is able to run all other King games. I am running on a Windows 8 computer and my Candy Crush Saga runs just fine. I have checked the Adobe Flash on the Mac and it is up to date. Is everyone that is having this problem running on a Mac? CRUSH is a classic twin stick shooter game with a heavy focus on arena fighting. Inspired by SMASH TV, visuals and game play were created to capture the authentic retro feel. Play as a contestant (in single player or local co-op) on the greatest show on earth. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

What you need to create a bootable installer

A USB flash drive or other secondary volume formatted as Mac OS Extended, with at least 14GB of available storage
A downloaded installer for macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, or El Capitan

Download macOS

Download: macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, or macOS High Sierra
These download to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS [version name]. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation. To get the correct installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server.
Download: OS X El Capitan
This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder. You will create the bootable installer from this app, not from the disk image or .pkg installer.

Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal

Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer.
Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace MyVolume in these commands with the name of your volume.

Big Sur:*

Catalina:*

Mojave:*

High Sierra:*

El Capitan:

* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the --applicationpath argument and installer path, similar to the way this is done in the command for El Capitan.

After typing the command:

Press Return to enter the command.
When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
When prompted, type Y to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the volume is erased.
After the volume is erased, you may see an alert that Terminal would like to access files on a removable volume. Click OK to allow the copy to proceed.
When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Big Sur. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.

Use the bootable installer

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:

Apple silicon

Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing.
Turn on your Mac and continue to hold the power button until you see the startup options window, which shows your bootable volumes.
Select the volume containing the bootable installer, then click Continue.
When the macOS installer opens, follow the onscreen instructions.

Intel processor

Plug the bootable installer into a Mac that is connected to the internet and compatible with the version of macOS you're installing.
Press and hold the Option (Alt) ⌥ key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac.
Release the Option key when you see a dark screen showing your bootable volumes.
Select the volume containing the bootable installer. Then click the up arrow or press Return.
If you can't start up from the bootable installer, make sure that the External Boot setting in Startup Security Utility is set to allow booting from external media.
Choose your language, if prompted.
Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the internet, but it does require an internet connection to get firmware and other information specific to the Mac model.

This month, I celebrate an anniversary. No, not my wedding anniversary; that was last month. This anniversary marks my second as a Mac convert. Over the past two years, my Mac has lived up to all its promises and has never ceased to delight me.

One of the main reasons for my initial interest in the Mac was security. Having spent countless hours repairing my family’s, friends’ and co-workers’ computers after the ravages of malware, it occurred to me that there must be a better alternative. With its Unix core, the Mac OS X operating system was very appealing to me.

Yeah, I tried several flavors of Linux but never could get any of them configured precisely the way I wanted.

When it comes to raw, out-of-the-box security, the Mac has you covered from the minute you plug it in. Most ports are closed by default, and like Windows XP, OS X comes with a built-in firewall that can be enabled with a few mouse clicks. As far as malware is concerned, well, there are very few viruses or pieces of spyware written that can infect a Mac machine. This isn’t so for the PC. In fact, security vendor Sophos estimates that a brand-new, unprotected PC has about a 50-50 chance of getting infected within its first 12 minutes online. The Mac OS makes it hard for malware to get through.

For example, one of the ways malware is able to “hide” from users under Windows is via hidden file extensions. Many users aren’t aware that even if you tell Windows to display all file extensions, there are still some that are hidden by default. To make matters worse, a Trojan horse or any installed program can reconfigure your extensions so that they are no longer hidden.

Under OS X, you aren’t permitted to hide a file’s “real” extension if hiding it causes the file to appear to have a different extension. Furthermore, if you attempt to append an extension onto an application’s true extension, the true extension will become revealed and you won’t be able to hide it.

Let’s say you have a file called MyApp.app. The common .app Mac extension is hidden by default. If you were to alter the .app extension by appending .jpg to the end of it, you would see MyApp.app.jpg without any changes to the operating system’s default configuration. If you were to change the extension to read MyApp.jpg.app, the application would cease to work.

Another thing that helped in my decision to try a Mac was the abundance of applications available for OS X. My non-Mac constituents had warned me that there were so few Mac applications that I’d be certain to regret my switch. In fact, the most common justifications for not buying a Mac consist of a lack of software, a lack of games and compatibility issues. These excuses are simply myths and have no basis in fact. Just take a look around; there are thousands of applications available for Macs.

According to systems integrator James Clemens at the Babylon, N.Y., public library, his recent addition of eMacs into the library’s large Windows environment proved that Macs could play just fine with PCs. From running Microsoft’s Office suite to doing your taxes via TurboTax or TaxCut, Macs can do it all. When it comes to music, OS X has you covered, too. ITunes allows you to quickly build a playlist and burn that to a CD with just a few mouse clicks.

Don’t get me wrong — I love Windows XP, and with all the changes of late, it’s a secure and fairly stable operating system. But after two years of continuous operations, I’ve had to restart my Mac only once because it froze. And if total cost of ownership has you worried, fear not. In my experience, Macs are more stable and require less technical support than their Windows or Linux counterparts.
