[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1900227, member: 335450"] [B][I]Jake[/I][/B], We're talking more than 20,000 songs, more than 2000 albums. That's a LOT of time on the internet and here in the mountains of North Carolina, even though technically I have 200 meg cable internet, I'm happy with anything close to DSL speeds. Much of the music is backed up on Time Machine which doesn't work either with this computer. Plus, in many cases, when the music was uploaded to Music, the program disassembled the albums and shows each song as a separate album. I've spent weeks trying to tackle the issues, to varying degrees of success. I'm simply tired of fighting with my computer. As far as old browsers and modern Internet, true to a point I suppose, but I don't do much in the way of social media, VERY limited FB, no Instagram, no Twitter, or ANY other social media. I also use a Tor browser which seems to be compatible with everything and if it isn't compatible, I simply move on. The ONLY reason I even have email is because my banking, bill pay and a few other things I do on line require an email address as a means of confirming my identity. I just want my music and my pictures back. Literally nothing else matters. I'm mentally exhausted having some sort of issue every time I turn my computer on and trying to resolve them. I've used Macs since a Power PC Macbook and never had issues like I've been having for the past year or two.......... ever. So .......... the question remains, is it possible to slash and burn the data on this computer and install a fresh copy Yosemite or El Capitan, and how would I go about doing that? [/QUOTE]
