I have Google News searching for Mac articles and this morning, it came up with a dilly from the venerable PC Magazine: “Refresh Your Mac”
Click on the link above to see the article. Pay particular attention to “Step 1: Save Your Applications” which says, “Open your Applications folder (Macintosh HD\Applications) and drag and drop any apps you regularly use onto your external hard drive.”
Stop right there.
That hasn’t worked since OS 9. Oh sure. There are some applications that are fully contained, but to expect your apps to work after a trip to the external drive and back . . . well, that’s just false.
