Hi Rosemary, /Volumes/Installer 1/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/AppYM I’ve been suspecting you might have Malware on your Mac. Now you have mentioned the above - AppYM - you could have installed one or more variants of the “InstallMac” trojan. Go to this Apple discussion and carefully

Re: Sierra setup problem

Hi Rosemary, I would NOT be backing up to Time Machine or any backup until you get this sorted. I had assumed you would NOT have anything connected to your MacBook Pro when you were downloading the Sierra install. And all applications had been quit before you started to download & install

Re: Sierra setup problem

Hi Ronni, {BTW Overview Hardware 2 memory slots 8GB each} I thought I followed your instructions, but there seems still to be problems (messages about no app memory). When I go to Disk Utility now in the disc list there are 3 "ghost" installers listed. Where will I find these? There does not seem

Re: Sierra setup problem

Hello Rosemary, How much RAM (memory) do you have installed in your MacBook Pro? If you get an error message while installing macOS Sierra saying that you don't have enough hard drive space, then restart your Mac and boot into safe mode. To do this, turn off your Mac and wait 10 seconds, the

Sierra setup problem

Hi there, I downloaded Sierra as I seemed to be OK (2012 macbook pro) (after backing up etc Ronni!) However, when it loaded it stopped and said there wasn't enough app memory... with only Setup running! So I said cancel...but it seems Sierra was loaded anyway. I've now gone through my apps
