Is it possible you have a hardware fault, that doesn't sound normal to me.

I've already run AHT diagnostics on hardware and it all came back ok? Really is strange, fan never comes on with Yosemite.

So, I upgrades to Sierra last weekend but have had a lot of issues since, mainly with Finder hanging and giving me the beach ball.. Investigations seem to be pointing at it being an issue with the mapping to my WD Mycloud. I can read from it no problem, but I can create folders or copy any files to it anymore, I just get a generic error. Nothing has changes, still using the same account I've always used..
Any ideas before I try to revert to a backup?

Everyone who is having issues from an upgrade;
Backup all your files and do a full install but make sure you format the drive before installing macOS. Guarantee your problems will go away.

I just had a response from Wacom support to say they're having reports of similar issues to mine from users who have upgraded to Sierra from El Captain.
Users who've done a fresh install of Sierra aren't suffering the same problems so it looks like your advice is correct.
However, I'm reluctant to format my machine and do a fresh install of Sierra because I need my MBP for work.
Apparently, they're working on a fix but there's no ETA for an updated driver…

Doesn't take long to get everything back to normal though really Tom.

Our MD kindly updated a few of the works macs while we were out, and now most of our command lines tools are no longer working.
I have Sierra on my own laptop now and it seems good. I like Siri.

Started new job and everyone uses mac's, so have updated mine. No problems yet (Hell, I have no idea if there was a problem), and to be honest, from someone who's never used a mac before, its pretty nice.
Never thought I'd say that.

I've actually been using Siri on my iMac. I use her a lot on the phone but have started saying things like "play random xxx songs" with xxx being an artist.
Early stages but a simple and useful reason.

macOS 10.12.1 has been released and is now available through the Mac App Store

I know that technically the .1 update isn't a combo but I'm struggling to find a standalone installer rather than getting it through the app store. I like to keep the latest updater.

I thought Sierra is supposed to be able to move rarely used system files like languages and the like off the HD and up into the cloud?
From what I can see al I can move are images, videos and documents.

Is the latest 10.12.1 ok?
Ive found my iMac much more stable since El cap so want to be sure you guys are finding it ok before I install it.

It's been stable for me. My only problem is that finder/preview doesn't open pdfs. They now appear blank. Must be a compatibility thing.

Thanks updated.
Seems fine so far.

Thanks.
My request was on the 24th October, that download went live on the 27th... It wasn't there when I asked, I did search before I posted.

There seems to be some sort of mission control feature in Safari that i've triggered a few times unknowingly, it displays all the open tabs but in a mission control type way. Does anyone here know what the gesture is for that? It's useful, i'm just not sure how i'm triggering it. Can't seem to find the correct terminology to find it on Google either.
