ALL USERS: Are you using a Mac and having trouble entering text in Journals, Exams, Discussions, or Assignments?

Are you using a MAC and having difficulty submitting text on your Journal, Discussion, Assignment, or Exam in Blackboard?  If you are running an older operating system, you may need to update your MacOS to a more recent version.  See the links in this article for more information...

If you are using a MAC computer and having trouble submitting text on your Journal, Discussion, Assignment, or Exam in Blackboard, check what operating system your Mac is currently running.  

If you are running an older operating system, you may need to update your MacOS to a more recent version. Follow these steps:

• BACK UP ANY IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE PROCEEDING!
• If you don't already have Time Machine set up, proceed with the setup process.  You will want to set this up and run a backup PRIOR to running the updates to ensure you can revert back if you encounter any issues.
• Verify your Mac meets the requirements to upgrade and proceed with the upgrade process. 

If your computer is not a Mac or you need more guidance on how to update your computer, please contact the IT Service Center at 508.531.2555 or ITSupport@bridgew.edu.
