[QUOTE="callmedory, post: 1867555, member: 387796"] I am truly appreciating the help I'm getting here, even if some advice conflicts. I realize "A" may be good in some cases, "B" in others--and I have to figure out which I am. [B]I am considering updating because[/B] when I updated my iPhone 11, it can no longer communicate with our iMac. No loading pics unless I email/message and manually import, but I can't sync any photos back to the iPhone. Our iMac has ALL of our pics--I import them all, sort them, edit the ones I like, and reload various albums back to the phones. 1) How would I know if I have a rotating drive? This MBP says "Flash Storage" in "About This Mac > Storage"--is that where I should be looking? If so, iMac says "Fusion Drive." No idea on this part. 2) And how would I know if I have any 32-bit apps? 3) My husband prefers to [I]own[/I] the copies when possible, so I'm going to have to look at that more. I wouldn't mind opinions with reasons, so I know which is more like our case. We basically use Word/Excel and [I]some[/I] Powerpoint. But not really a whole lot (Photos...LOTS of photos). I'm looking in Apps folder...aside from what came with this, I'm seeing: Amazon Music Google (various: Drive, Chrome, etc--Chrome is needed for access to some websites I [I]must[/I] be able to access) My Harmony (for my logitech remote control) Pinterest Quicktime My iphone 11 has way more apps than this, and I haven't had issues with them after I updated to 14.1.
