Secure erase is supported in the Sierra

After downloading Sierra I can't secure erase access via finder?  How files are securely erased using Sierra 10.12?

Hello TaxiFish,

You must encrypt the drive with FileVault first. Then just delete. Apple now uses SSDS in most of their machines and these drives don't support secure erase.

  • will be supported traditional faces in photos of the sierra

    Anyone know if the work done on the photos to supplement the data of faces is supported in the Sierra of OSX. I have over 12000 photos tagged with faces and I can't wait to know if Apple will simply get rid of my current data and replace it with their new way to find people?

    Thank you

    As soon as Apple launches Sierra can someone check it for you and let you know. Until the moment, those who are running Sierra are under a non-disclosure agreement and cannot say anything about it.

  • Secure connection is not in the normal works OK in private, I have no addons, I erased ~/.mozilla iceweasle 38.1 debian stretch.

    I'm having a problem on one computer associated with the connection of the Bank.
    Debian Iceweasle 38.1 Stretch

    I've erased ~/.mozilla have no addons or extensions.

    If I connect to the Bank as usual, I get "secure connection failed" chrome I get the page has been reset.

    If I connect using a new private window it connects OK.

    I have a laptop with a similar configuration that does not have this problem.

    I renewed ca-certificates, and I don't see what else to change. It is not a Firefox problem as chrome also fails, but if you have an idea of what other common cause that I should be grateful if you would.

    a google search resulted with the mode private by someone whith a problem in chrome and an incognito mode suggested comentor.

    So I tried a window private Iceweasle and it worked. Tried not to chrome, like I installed it only for this problem!

    Thank you very much for everything.

    Do you know which version of Firefox your Iceweasel is from? Looks like that the "ESR" version of Firefox, but may have some differences in default behavior...

    Maybe the problem is caused by the site you recognizing cookies already together?

    You can use the network (menu Developer) monitor to monitor changes of redirects:

    I start by opening the network monitor in the lower part of the regular tab, then try to load the site tab and look at where are the requests and the breakpoint. If nothing appears, maybe use the Firefox cache, and you can erase that by following the steps in this article: How to clear the cache of Firefox.

    Then open a private window, open network monitor in this tab and try to load the site and look at where to go applications.

    Any difference?

  • How long for secure erase of the 120 GB user account?

    14 hours ago, I started a secure erase of a 120 GB user account and he has not yet finished. Is this normal? I'm on os x on a macbook pro early 2011 mavericks.

    Yes. It could take days to complete the removal of the quantity of data using Secure Delete.

  • format not supported in the windows Security Center

    I have posted a question before and was told in spirtx?  I have cyberdefender under my protection from virus-everything.  I'm getting an error code cyberdefender is on, but he reports in a format that is no longer supported.  The other day, cyberdefender came out with their new version, but the error remains.  I have windows vista home 32.  What should I do, is - it safe select her don't you worry, I'll watch it myself to get rid of the error code?  CyberDefender says that my computer is protected 100%.  I read this message seems to be common.  I was the wmi and it is consistent.  I have all the updates, including sp2 on my computer since I use the automatic update.  I really think that it is a problem of microsoft.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you very much.  The problem started about 2 weeks, until then, no error message, and I had the program since 7/09

    Why post on a Forum of OneCare to Cyberdefender problems?  OneCare has nothing to do with the support of Cyberdefender, and OneCare would actually be a competitive request if it was still sold.

  • EPIC Browser (proxy) does not work on the Sierra

    I was with Epic browser (a browser works as a proxy or vpn) smoothly for the past few days in China to access Google and Facebook and a few pages that I've updated my mac OS previous to new sierra of mac OS. and sorry to say that then is no more working including proxy facilities. I can't explain how much I need in China. Can ' someone tell me why or how to fix it? He shows me just like this after I installed the OS Sierra...

    Hello firdaus, MD.
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that you are no longer able to access the web using an epic browser that works as a proxy or VPN. With the update of the Sierra of macOS, PPTP VPN have been removed. If this browser uses this type of VPN, you may want to use one of the options listed in the section below:

    Prepare for removal of PPTP VPN before upgrade you to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra

    Alternatives for PPTP VPN connections

    Try one of these other VPN protocols for authentication by user that are safer:

    • L2TP/IPSec
    • IKEv2/IPSec
    • Cisco IPSec
    • VPN SSL clients on the App Store, such as those of AirWatch, Aruba, Check Point, Cisco, F5 Networks, MobileIron, NetMotion, Open VPN, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure and SonicWall

    Best regards.

  • The upgrade to the will of the Sierra that software redundent

    Upgrade to Sierra will make it redundant software?

    Hello Robert,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I see Your ' e concerned about the software that you have installed on your Mac and its compatibility with macOS Sierra. You will need to check with the developers of the software that is installed to see if the version you have is compatible with macOS Sierra, or if there is an update available for her.  As a precaution, you can back up your Mac with Time Machine and then, if your software is not supported under macOS Sierra, just go back to your previous backup:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

    Take care.

  • MacBook air crashes after the release of sleep since the upgrade of the sierra

    Began to notice that since I upgraded my macbook air 2015 to sierra, system crashes. The trigger is always when I wake the sleep system (whether it is by opening cover or press a key). Issue is intermittent and may not be reproduced every time. I contacted apple support and they recommended resetting the SMC (ctrl + shift + cmd) but that didn't help either. I also did a check of filesystem (fsck-fy) and which seems to be very well so.

    I noticed others seem to be faced with similar problems and a common theme that I noticed was that both we seem to have an installed tardisk. Not sure if this could be a factor?

    While it is not any loss of data, the question is certainly annoying and disruptive to work.

    The same question was observed at about 7 times since the update of the sierra. Containing the report of Etrecheck to the breast

    Avoid using any third-party cleaning software. Usually, this software does more harm than good. You don't need it. All computers become slower over time even in normal conditions of use. Experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch, from time to time; or every time that the installation of a major update of the OS. Do means if you must maintain regular and several backups.

    Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Delete unnecessary anti-malware software and any software that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan activity. Also, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the treatment with The Spinning Beach Ball of Death.

    The ultimate solution

    Back up everything, wipe the drive, reinstall OS X and restore your data from backup. Reinstall the third-party software of original/zero media.

  • Canon MG7520 no work since the upgrade of the Sierra.

    MacBook Pro communicates only with the Canon MG7520. Tried to reconnect with USB to the printer, no joy.  Called Canon they are aware of the problems of the Sierra.  Someone at - it find a workaround until this Canon & Apple get together.  If you have a printer Canon DONOT upgrade until you hear the problem is solved.  How hard AND risky is to return to El Capitan via Time Machine.  I backed up BEFORE upgrading.  I've never done before.

    Thank you

    This can help, I have the MG7150 printer/Scanner and the only problem currently is that on some impressions, I get "has no filter' showing in the print queue and the photo prints never. Appears the Canon USA are aware of the issues for the drivers there and that they are working with Apple for a fix as soon as possible (nothing yet on the UK site, however) but for the foregoing, they offer a work around the State.

    I realize this does not help but if my printer seems to communicate ok otherwise, your question is perhaps up to a form of bribery.

    Have you tried to remove and then reinstall your printer via "Printers and Scanners" in System Preferences, if you right click on your printer (printers head to the left) and select "Reset printing system" this will delete your printing system, so you can then add your printer by clicking the "+" button down to the left. When the box opens 'Add' wait a few seconds so that all the drivers installed (apples and the factory if you have installed separately) appear - then simply select you need. In my case, I have two "Canon MG7100 series" to choose, the first is 'Hello' and the second 'Canon IJ Network' - see what is displayed for you and all try them, you can work and go you again.

    Finally, if you select the Hello option you can change what is offered as part of 'Use' of its default value (could be AirPrint) to another, in my case "Canon Mg7100 series.

  • 2011 iMac bricked by the Sierra upgrade

    I have an iMac 27 "2011 that doesn't work anymore after the upgrade of the Sierra. When turns on the iMac, it goes white, then the image of the Apple and a bar progression that moves slowly for about 20 seconds. Then gray screen, then it stops.

    There is no ledge departure when it is consumed on and it does not meet all the controls keyboard (mode of recovery etc.). Will not boot from USB either.

    Any suggestions?
