The CAPTCHA has an Error message for the site owner

Thanks, that's great. Exactly the answer that I was hoping to see.

OK, you wrote: "You can use your Apple ID for iCloud." Why do I have to even acknowledge iCloud at all while installing El Capitan? I haven't downloaded the new OS so I don't know what instructions there are to follow. If there is an instruction to provide an iCloud ID can it be ignored and left...

So the answer is: Yes, you have to have an iCloud account to actually install El Capitan. Even if you don't need or even want an iCloud account. Ridiculous.

Technology being what it is and my age and computer illiterateness being what it is I don't use iCloud. Just have no use for it and have ignored it until reading about updating to El Capitan. Let's see if I have this right, you need an administrator's ID, and an Apple ID. And maybe an ID for...

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't realized that iPhoto was phased out. What will happen to my iPhoto library (iPhoto 8.1.2) if I hit the update button for Yosemite 10.10.3 from Mountain Lion 10.8.5? Will the library automatically load into the new "Photos"? Sorry about all the questions and the...

I'm still using OS 10.8.5 If I download the free Yosemite 10.10.3 with the new Photos app what problems can I expect to encounter during updating? I realize too that some of the apps I use now will no longer work under Yosemite. Also, iPhoto is still at 8.1.2, is this going to function without...

When it's released to the public, what will be the requirements for downloading and installation?

I was hoping that there would be some explicit directions in one of your books.

I'll do a search.

I need more help than that. Sorry. It must be a pretty simple process to copy the OS Lion from an iMac to a MacBook, but not simple enough for me to know how to accomplish it without some coaching. Can you please give a few of the steps necessary to do this when it is available? 1. Download...

For the first time that single price is good for all five of a user's authorized Mac computers, effectively replacing Apple's "family pack" multi-user license. How will this work? Lion will download from the App store to the computer that it was purchased from. How does one get it to copy to...

How can a Microsoft Office 2008 user find out if it will be compatible or not with OS X Lion ? And if iPhoto '09 will be compatible as well. The system requirements for OS Lion are readily available but there isn't any information on which applications will be dead in the water. I guess...

While on vacation in AZ in March it was necessary for me to use the address book in SmartZone in my account on Comcast's email site. For some reason my email app, Entourage, would not send email, only receive them. I entered a number of my contacts, for the very first time, into the address book...

Can't wait for a review of the new iPhoto '11 to find out if there are any new editing enhancements.
