  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  Greetings slwsbl!

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that you want to change the input source with the SHIFT key on macOS Sierra. I understand the importance of wanting to use a specific key when changing inputs. I'm happy to help you with this.

  It is possible to do. Please take a look at the User Guide helps Mac, specifically, this section:
  
  

  Switch between input sources

  To switch between input sources, do one of the following:

  • Use the menu entry: Click on the menu entry in the menu bar, and then choose the input source. If an input source is dimmed, the current application does not support it.

  • Use the Caps Lock key: Press the caps lock shift key to switch between a non-Latin input (such as the Chinese or Korean) source and an input source Latin (for example, French or English).

    To use this method, you must select the option "use Caps Lock to toggle to and from" in the stream of input methods. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods.

  • Use keyboard shortcuts: Press control-Option-space bar to select the source of the following entry in the menu entry, or control-space to select the previous input source.

  Best regards.

  Check system prefs / / keyboard shortcuts to see what has been set for the modification of input sources.

• iMac freezes after upgrade to Mac OS Sierra

  I have a 27 iMac late 2009 ". After the transition to macOS Sierra, I got freeze about once or twice a day. The only way to get the system operational is again via a cold start. In this case, the pointer of the mouse still works, but otherwise, the system is not responding. I have never had this problem in 7 years using the same material, so a bit of a loss.

  How much RAM you have installed? You can check in the  menu > about this Mac. Slopes of the Sierra, but barely, with 4 GB, but it really needs min. 8 GB runs correctly.

  You can also try Safe Boot mode.

  -------

  Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

• I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini needs to strat befor 5 times actually implemented, why?

  Mac Mini (mid-2011), 2.5 GHz mid-range Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 256 GB Solid State Drive Storage

  10.12 MacOS

  I upgraded to MacOS Sierra recently, since then, my Mac Mini must start 5 times before it actually starts.

  It starts and restarts in the middle of the boot process, 4 times.

  Why?

  I have experienced a similar curiosity, but often with messing around on a Linux partition. I do not have a definitive answer for you, but check on this thread (MacBook Pro will restart several times during the boot process) and maybe here further (oots http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/88213/how-to-find-cause-of-repeated-reb)

  I hope this helps!

• macOS Sierra keeps freezing

  I installed Sierra on my MacBook Pro a few days ago, and several times it froze. First the computer stops responding to my external mouse. About 30 seconds later it stops responding to the keyboard and trackpad. I have to force a reboot. Why is this?

  Perhaps relevant: according to activity monitor, kernel_task frequently uses now several hundred (and sometimes more than 2,000) percentage of my CPU. Who would have thought that was possible?

  Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this please. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

  Then, shut down your Mac and restart in 'Safe Mode '. To learn how to do it please read: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up. Compare works your Mac in Mode for how safe it was.

  Then restart normally. If the same problem comes back, please read the section If a problem does not occur in safe mode for actions recommended to Apple.

  Finally, you can temporarily create a new user account and log into this account to determine if the problem also exists when connected to this account. To learn how to read How to test a question to another user on your Mac account. When you are finished troubleshooting, you can remove the temporary user account by following these instructions: macOS Sierra: remove a user or a group. Before you delete, confirm that you have not need of all the files that you have possibly set in this account.

• Photoanalysisd process overheating my Mac on macOS Sierra

  Hello world!!

  I just upgraded to macOS SIerra in the Air of my Mac and I noticed that a process called 'photoanalysisd' is currentlu taken almost 90% of my CPU and overheat my Mac

  Anyone know what do do this process and whether he can be killed? (tried once but it came to the top once again)

  Thank you

  Ariel

  Hi Ariel

  It's Photos of indexing and analyze all your photos. It is indeed the processor intensive and depending on what size your Photos library is, could take a long time. Up to 2 days in extreme cases.

  If your computer is very hot, make sure you provide air circulation all around the case. Test lift on a wire rack as as you might have in your kitchen for the cooling of cookies or use a rack of the oven.

  If it still shows signs of overheating, you can place a fan to blow air top, or even place a cold ice pack or something cold under the computer.

  Hope this helps, Greg

• How do we install siri on a mac mini with macOS Sierra?

  I have a 2011 mac mini with macOS Sierra installed environment. I know that the mini doesn't have a microphone installed. How do I set up my mini so I use siri? I noticed that when I installed Sierra on my MBP mid-2012, it asked if I wanted to install siri as part of the installation. I selected Yes. It happened when I installed it on my mini, I'm guessing that because there is no microphone on the mini. Thanks in advance.

  You are right. You are prompted to configure Siri during installation only if the computer has a microphone.

  Later, after you add a microphone go to System Preferences > Siri and turn on Siri

• I tried to download macOS Sierra for the last hours on my Mac, but it is still holding still to download. Should I download the El Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari.

  I tried to download macOS Sierra on my macbook pro iOS 10 for a few hours and it still has several hours to go. Should I just download the Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari or I wouldn't even through this disorder.

  You must complete the download of Sierra. It is a very large file and will take some time, especially on a slow Internet connection.

• Configuration of caps lock no longer works

  Hello

  After that the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra is not possible to turn off the caps lock.

  Lock shift will continue to work either by selecting 'No Action' for the caps lock setting in system preferences > keyboard > modifier keys.

  Difficulty please!

  See you soon,.

  Giampaolo

  Hi, manchoz!

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from your post, that caps lock shift to 'No Action' in system preferences has in fact an effect; You can always activate the caps lock shift key after changing the setting. I know it may be practical to adjust how the key functions and would be happy to help you!

  I have a few things I can recommend for you to try. Test by changing the caps to no Action lock after each step.

  1. Restart the Mac by clicking on the menu Apple  and selecting restart... in the drop-down menu.
  2. If possible, test how the caps lock functions on another keyboard (USB or Bluetooth).
  3. Start in safe mode and try to change the modifier of Caps Lock on. The following article will give you more information about safe mode and start it: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

     Even if the title of the article is not specific to your question, safe mode is always a good step to take. She will run a scan of your system at startup and disable some software and processes that may be causing a conflict.

  4. Test the caps lock modifier in a different user account. This article will explain why test in another user account is a useful step and will also guide you in creating a new account: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

  For more information, see the following: macOS Sierra: change the modifier keys

  See you soon!

• macOS Sierra upgrade questions

  Problems of bad battery life updated since El Capitan with macOS Sierra. "100% charged drains battery fast on Sierra for 2-3 hours only. Before the mac update OS Sierra, he could stay for 8-9 hours,". If we installed macOS Sierra and noticed that the battery life is empty very quickly on MacBook Air/Pro, iMac etc, please help me to solve the problem of this problems.

  Hey there,

  Nothing but hurt. It is a common problem in the Sierra. One of the reasons, you must take off the coast about obtaining the latest software. It can be a bit much. If I remember correctly, they do not have the issues of EL CAP battery until le.3 ou.4 updated. (this is the solution that allowed the 8-9) I would recommend just downgrading to El Cap, as I can't imagine that the loss in the life of the battery is useful for siri.   Just my 2 cents.

• Finder crashing on macOS Sierra

  I have a late 2009 iMac Core2 3.33 GHz, 8 GB RAM processor. After the installation of macOS Sierra, Finder crashes constantly on me. I have to restart about five times a day.

  • When the Finder crashes, I can't start it again.

  • I tried already to re-setup of Sierra.
  • I already cleaned my folder of application of system of 'tricks' old, unused library support.
  • All of a sudden, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie has started to download and install on my iMac - it was very strange. I had already installed the new versions of the Pages, Numbers and Keynote, before Sierra was deployed. In addition, I see no updates in the App Store that relate to this spontaneous download.
  • Projector has also crashed on me recently during a search.
  • I read that Google Drive and dictation can cause this, but I don't have to be installed/activated.

  I will continue to add to this newspaper that I find new things that cause my iMac to hang / crash.

• macOS Sierra: Finder does not

  Hey,.

  I'm running a 2011 end MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra (10.12) running. It is a new installation of the system. Its an i7, 8 GB ram, and a 512 SSD running.

  The system works really well, but now and then the Finder completely freezes upward with many applications refusing to start. When I try to force quit them, everything except the Finder can be quit. In an attempt to relaunch the Finder, it just crashes and goes into a loop does not.

  Another strange thing, I've seen, it's Photos.app said now "Closed library" or something to that effect. Not able to reproduce every time, but it happens now and then.

  My doubts are on my oneDrive synchronizes running may at this time? -J' have two account personal and business running on them at the moment. Aside, the only other cloud service is iCloud (with iCloud Drive work with the new feature of office and Documents).

  At this point, I had to reset hard at the computer to make it work again.

  I have the same problem with the Finder on my iMac late 2009 after upgrading to Mac OS Sierra. When I double click on any folder or the Finder, I get the 'beachball', Finder becomes "inadmissible", and when I try to restart the Finder, nothing happens. I can't get Finder operational return. The only solution is to reboot. And frankly, I'm tired of reboot five times a day. I think that this happens generally when I'm under Safari. Not sure if it's one of the reasons why Finder crashes. I already tried to reinstall Sierra with no luck.
