Update to OS High Sierra

I am running a Macbook Pro on OS X EI Capitan 10.11.6 and was wondering if my older macbook can handle updating to macOS High Sierra

Macbook Pro 13 Inch early 2011
Processor Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Apple TV 3rd Generation

In addition I having trouble since the last iTunes update with logging in "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". Would latest update to OS fix this issue? Thanks for any help or info.

iTunes Access Issue

Am attempting to log into my iTunes account and am getting this message box:

"You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". When I click the "Okay" button it dissappears. I then go to account signin and enter my Apple ID and Password and then get this "This action could not be completed. Try again". Any ideas on what is going on, thanks for any help.

iTunes Ver is 12.8.0.150
El Capitan 10.11.6

Wondershare

I had Wondershare Free YouTube Downloader on my old Mac Mini. Just got a new one and it doesn't seem to know what to do with the videos ... does anybody know if it OS High Sierra works with that particular program at all (including the 'full' version, which costs about $29)?

3 Dead, 12 Injured, Toronto Greektown shooting

Sounds like a targeted hit with a crapload of collatoral damage... :-( :mad:

Gunman and 2 victims dead, 12 others injured in Toronto Greektown shooting

A gunman and two victims are dead and 12 others are in hospital after a shooting in Toronto's Greektown neighbourhood on Sunday evening, police say.

One person killed is a woman. One of the injured, a young girl aged eight or nine, is in critical condition, according to authorities.

Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes police-involved shootings, said the suspected gunman, 29, is also dead. Police, meanwhile, are working to determine what may have led to the violence.

A video from one witness shows a man dressed in black clothes and a black hat walking quickly and firing three shots from the sidewalk into at least one shop or restaurant.

Kerri Lahey said she was eating dinner at 7Numbers restaurant with her boyfriend when she saw the gunman enter through a side door and shoot a woman.

"We were sitting out on the patio, and we heard shots, so we ran inside and he came in the restaurant and shot the girl right in front of me,"

He described the suspect as a white male, in his late to early 30s, who was dressed in all black.

Timothy Leary and the 2017 15" MacBook Pro

I discovered some very peculiar behaviour with the 2017 MacBook Pro (15", touch bar model). When I booted into safe boot mode, I would get lots of non-Apple-like horizontal banding and flickering during the boot process and login screen. Then, if I went back to the login screen, the colours would be inverted. Upon logging in again, the screen would display in a bizarre sort of LSD trippy way. It defies description – see the attached pic. The actual desktop is a picture with orange-brown grass and lots of blue sky.

Okay, the two Apple reps that saw it told me it was a motherboard issue and so I got the MB replaced (they also replaced the "top case," which basically means I have a brand new computer aside from the display :-/ ).

I've got the new computer back, and out of curiosity, went through the steps to reproduce the problem. Turns out, replacing the motherboard didn't fix the issue, I am seeing the exact same visual glitches.

Does anyone out there have one of these machines? Can you reproduce this? I'm wondering if it's a built in design flaw or maybe I'm just really unlucky with AppleCare repairs (long story, but I have the current machine as a replacement for one of the ill-fated 2011 MacBooks with the graphics chip failure – four failed motherboards on that one and I was able to convince them that they owed me a new computer).

Again, the sequence is
• safe boot (start up with the shift key held down)
• log in to an account (are you seeing the flickering/banding?)
• go back to the login screen (are the colours inverted?)
• log in again (is the display tripping balls?)

I'd appreciate hearing from you either way (problems or no).

Thanks!

Can't copy a large number of jpgs from SD card

I keep running into more and more quirks on ElCapitan which I never had on SnowLeopard.

Latest one is that one cannot copy a large number of jpgs at one time from an SD card.

My camera uses an SD card to record images.
The card I use is a 2 GB Kingston SD card.
It had about 1200 jpg images on it using up roughly 1.5 GB on the SD card.

When I plug the SD card into the MacMini running ElCapitan, everything shows up fine, I can look at all the pictures, but when I then select all 1200 images to copy them to a new folder on the Mac Mini, the window shows up ready to copy but no copying takes place.
I have waited five minutes and then gave up.

When I then select 300 or 400 images at a time, the copying process proceeds normally.
So in the end I can accomplish what I set out to do, I just have to do it in three or four steps, 300 images at a time.

Anyone know what is going on?
Is there a maximum number of images I can copy at a time?

Font corrupted or substituted in Illustrator CS6?

I’m working on a brochure with a regional map ( dozens of lakes, rivers, names, roads, canoe routes, etc) in Mac OS X 10.10.5, Adobe InDesign & Illustrator CS6. (I’m semi retired and not using Creative Cloud!) The map was prepared by a government department and sent to me as an Illustrator CS6 file. The file was also sent as a PDF which I cannot change. I do have to make some type changes, but the map designer has gone on holidays. She did supply me the fonts.

My problem is, when I open her file, that some of the font styles - Times Roman Regular and Italic and Swiss 721 Condensed - are the wrong size and stretched beyond legibility. The Helvetica Regular, Bold, Narrow fonts are fine. My font palette shows the font size as 0.9 points when it should be about 6 points. There are dozens and dozens of words on multiple layers. So, somehow some fonts are being substituted.

Of the fonts the map designer sent me, one font would not download, and I do not recognize it - Ebrima.ttf. Tried to buy it, but can’t find it from any font supplier.

I am on a severe deadline to get this printed. Any idea how I can fix this?
