Here’s another wrinkle. I’m using a Microsoft Natural ergonometric keyboard with full numbpad on my Mac via a USB cable, no less. I’ve used this same keyboard type for the past 25 years in my job, and through retirement, on both my Windows PC and now with my new MacBook Pro. I have one on each

Re: to know our Hard disc Health from time to time.

My understanding is that fragmentation doesn’t matter on an SSD: no drive heads, no rotating platters, and therefore no performance degradation. Of course, if you still have an old-style hard drive used for purposes other than backup, there’s a possibility you might have an issue. From:

Re: An old apple keyboard

Not sure how old you are talking about. I am using an Apple USB keyboard from 2006 on my 2012 mac mini running high Sierra and it works fine. You should just connect the keyboard to your Mac and see if it works. - Brad - On May 8, 2020, at 13:14, Traci Duncan wrote: Hi all, We have

Re: to know our Hard disc Health from time to time.

Hi, The internal drive on a Mac does not need defragmented at all. If it’s an SSD, then it should never be defragmented anyway. If it’s a spinning drive, then the MacOS handles disk maintenance on its own and does any cleanup, defragmentation such things overnight or first thing when the Mac

Hi, Have you tried just using the built-in VNC capabilities of the Mac. If you are connecting to another machine with remote access enabled, go to the Finder, press cmd-k or go up to the Go menu and choose Connect to Server, in the resulting window enter vnc://IP_Address or vnc://Host_Name
