  1. Anyway, the grey MacBook and Recovery 10.11.2 icons are for my internal OS X and the orange OS X and Recovery 10.11.3 are for the version installed on my external drive. Use the arrow keys to select which drive to boot from and then simply press Enter. If you have a newer Mac and a USB drive that supports USB 3.0, everything should run fairly fast.
  2. VLC for Mac OS does not allow users to add a loop button on the controller bar at the bottom of the window such as VLC for Windows. The only option is to define the A & B points by clicking on the Playback menu item and scrolling down to A→B Loop to define point A, then do the same again to define point B, which render the function useless.
  3. For instructions, see Install an older version of Adobe Reader on Mac OS. Double-click the.dmg file. (If you don't see the Safari Downloads window, click Finder (User Name) Downloads.) Double-click Install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to start the installation.

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk:

  • Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
  • If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory.2

An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you're using a Mac that doesn't need a flash drive to install Windows.

A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.

  • If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
  • If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Check your Secure Boot setting

Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.

2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.

  • If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
  • When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.

3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

4. Install Windows

Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

  • If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
  • If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.

Directory Utility User Guide

On a computer that’s configured to use the Directory Utility Active Directory connector, you can enable or disable network home folders or local home folders for Active Directory user accounts.

Ab Errantry Mac Os Catalina

With network home folders, a user’s Windows network home folder is mounted as the macOS home folder when the user logs in.

You determine whether the network home folder location is obtained from the Active Directory standard homeDirectory attribute or from the macOS homeDirectory attribute, if the Active Directory schema is extended to include it.

With local home folders, each Active Directory user who logs in has a home folder on the macOS startup volume. In addition, the user’s network home folder is mounted as a network volume, like a share point. The user can copy files between this network volume and the local home folder.

  1. In the Directory Utility app on your Mac, click Services.

  2. Click the lock icon.

  3. Enter an administrator’s user name and password, then click Modify Configuration (or use Touch ID).

  4. Select Active Directory, then click the “Edit settings for the selected service” button .

  5. If the advanced options are hidden, click the disclosure triangle next to Show Options.

  6. Click User Experience.

  7. If you want Active Directory user accounts to have local home folders in the computer’s /Users folder, click “Force local home folder on startup disk.”

    This option is not available if “Create mobile account at login” is selected.

  8. To use the Active Directory standard attribute for the home folder location, select “Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location,” then choose from the following protocols for accessing the home folder:

    • To use the standard Windows protocol SMB, click the “Network protocol to be used” pop-up menu, then choose smb.

    • To use the standard Mac protocol AFP, click the “Network protocol to be used” pop-up menu, then choose afp.

  9. To use the macOS attribute for the home folder location, deselect “Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location.”

    To use the macOS attribute, the Active Directory schema must be extended to include it.

  10. Click OK.

If you change the name of a user account in the Active Directory domain, the server creates a home folder (and subfolders) for the user account the next time it is used for logging in to a Mac. The user can still navigate to the old home folder and see its contents in the Finder.

You can prevent creation of a home folder by renaming the old folder before the user next logs in.
