Since I've taken it up on me to investigate the gist of the problem, I didn't say that 10.11.x isn't part of the problem. It may very well be. The problem is that I haven't seen any evidence for, or against it.KressKress wrote:I guess you guys are saying that isn't part of the problem.
I'm willing to bet against that statement, unless you've never, ever, entered your administrator password in the last 11 years. Did you do a fresh install of 10.11 wiping out everything that was there? If you upgraded, there are a lot of things that can go wrong not as expected. The variables are too many, that's what makes this a pain.KressKress wrote:My macbook pro is old (circa 2005), but I don't think it's been modified in any way.
