Hello,

as the title suggests. I thought a pop up notification would occur when CMD DEL files in my icloud folder/ drive on my mac (sequoia 15.1). I have looked through the settings and I can't see a way to turn such a notification on.

is there a way? or is it not possible?

many thanks in advance

Ever since i updated my M1 MBA to Sequoia, i am facing challenges with my Time Machine backup.

Prior to updating to Sequoia, i was able to boot into recovery mode, wherein i would see my external SSD with my TM backup. I could then boot from this SSD or roll back my entire system to a prior TM backup.

However ever since i updated to Sequoia my TM backup on the external SSD is not showing up as a bootable disk in recovery mode.

I am also not able to roll back to a previous TM backup because it's not showing up here in recovery mode.

I tried setting up a new external SSD as TM backup, and that too is not showing up as a bootable disk in recovery mode. This makes me think that one of the two is happening:

1. Sequoia broke something / changed something with how they treat TM backups
2. I have some setting / option somewhere which needs to be changed (althoughi highly doubt this at the moment as i've checked everything i could think of, and even used Chat GPT to help me troubleshoot)

What am i doing wrong here?

I moved programs from the Trash to the Desktop, and now I want to delete them again. When I try to “Move to Trash,” I get the following message: “The operation can’t be completed because the item ‘Microsoft Outlook’ is in use.”

I got a Mac from craigslist. Its a MacPro 5.1 from like 2009. it was password protected and the guy said he doesn't remember the password. I tried following tutorials to reset it, but it never worked cause it wasn't my apple ID connected to the Mac. I did get ubuntu to install but it refuses to acknowledge that a USB (the same one I used to install ubuntu) even exists when trying to install OSX El Capitan. I don't have any other mac. I have windows and ubuntu (dual booted on my main PC). How can I get OSX installed on this thing. any help is appreciated.

I use two monitors: one UW (main), and small monitor below it. While the UW is set as default, for some reason the dock appears on the bottom smaller monitor when turning on the mac, but I used to just bring my mouse to the bottom edge of the bug monitor, and the dock would stay there until the next wake up / restart.

Now, after upgrading to 15.0, the dock just stays on the bottom small monitor, no matter what. It no longer moves to the main screen.

Is there a way to fix this? I did something in Terminal a while ago (which was suppose to keep the dock on the main screen and not move), so I'm not sure if it's related. I think the solution should come from the terminal, but I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks!

So I'm using a macbook pro in a dock at work. My Macbook pro is at 120hz while the 2nd monitor is at 60hz. I was able to confirm that it is.

I had some driver issues with the dock but after updating and restarting the drivers it seems fine now.

The problem I'm having now is that the 2nd monitor seems to be running at 60fps while my mouse pointer and only the pointer will drop down to seemingly 30fps but only on the second monitor.

on my main screen, everything is always smooth, on the second, animations and dragging windows and stuff is at 60, but using the pointer with nothing selected will be 30.

I'm using an MX Master 3s and I have it set to 1400 DPI and have never had any problems with it.

I am using a temporary replacement monitor cause the usual workstation monitor is out of order

Hi! It's what is says on the tin. I have Sonoma 14.5, and whenever I download something into a folder, it's there, but so is a copy just chilling in my downloads. Is there something I can do to stop this because it is so annoying and taking up too much space if I forget to delete for like a day.

I have used apps like GeForce Now and ShadowPC and I'm wondering if similar technology exists to allow me to build a Windows machine and remote in from my MacBook.

I would need it to be low-latency + high fidelity similar to the above so I can use apps like unreal engine or games in real time without hinderance.

Anyone have experience with this?

I'm at a total loss as to how to deal with this. My account is fine, because I can access the web player. But the web player doesn't use volume normalization, so it kind of sucks.

What happens when I open the Spotify app on my Mac is I get a red window with no widgets I can interact with, and a process that just chews system resources.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail. This just started happening recently, but I'm not sure what change I may have made to the system to cause this. I am currently running Sonoma 14.6.1. I may upgrade to Sequoia 15.1 soon, but I'm hesitant to do so with this issue happening.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there,

I have a MacBook Air from mid-2011. I’d like to use iTunes on it to put mp3s on my iPhone but when I try it says my OSx is needs to be updated. I click the update button but I don’t see any options to do so.

I’d like to know to update my OSx to a recent enough edition to support the above - do you have any links or recommendations

TIA

Hi,

How to crop an image on preview on Monterey 12.7.6? Unless there's something wrong with me, I can't see it.

I recently upgraded from Big Sur where it was possible.

Hi,

I am out of ideas here, trying to install this VPN application which seems to be some system extensions being blocked by the OS.

Currently running Sonoma Version 14.5 (23F79)

After installing the app I get the prompt about the extensions being blocked, do NOT see the "Allow" portion within "Privacy & Security"

The OS is already set to allow the user to control these extensions rather than hardened mode. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac

Already tried booting the OS into Recovery mode and disabling System Integrity Protection, nada.

Thoughts about how to enable these blocked extensions?

Thanks!

Desktop 1: I have a work app (running in the terminal) that automatically opens a Chrome window every 10 minutes and simulates a user browsing and taking screenshots to monitor fraud and competitors.

Desktop 2: I use Safari to browse the Internet, download reports and open Numbers to analyze the data.

Problem: whenever I'm on Desktop 2, very focused, my Mac simply automatically switches to Desktop 1, because the Terminal script opened Chrome.

How do I prevent this change or pin Desktop 2 so that it never changes, only if I drag it to the side with 3 fingers or press Cmd+arrow?

System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use. It's already OFF.

And I've tried using Desktop 1 as the main one or everything on the same Desktop or using Mission Control but Chrome always opens on top of everything.

When did shared trash in what i assume is icloud start? i have 2 different computers signed in to icloud 1 does not have desktop & documents folders checked and 1 does. They both have icloud drive checked and i just realized the trash is shared. When did this start and is there a way to stop it? Ive been emptying one not realizing i was emptying the other. I cant find anything online about this and i noticed it after sequoia update.

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to install macOS Sierra on my Mac, but I've been having trouble finding the appropriate DMG file. Currently, I’m only using Windows, which makes it a bit complicated for me to obtain it.

If anyone has a copy of the macOS Sierra DMG and could share it, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m trying to restore my Mac, and this version is the one I need.

Thank you in advance for your help!

For some reason my MacBook Air will stopped dragging highlighted files and instead pops up a preview of the file. For example if I try to drag something to the trash bin it just opens the file. Apple M1, Sonoma 14.1.

Please help me. I’m going insane.

I have a color laser printer. It is nice and fast but its color calibration is waayyy off. It's terrible on copier paper, it's terrible on nice photo paper. I'm not expecting gallery-quality output from this thing but I am pretty sure it could be doing a lot better job than it currently is.

Today I finally decided to try and deal with this by spending some time doing a series of test prints and tweaking settings. But the printer's manual told me to go to a portion of the print dialogue that no longer exists - apparently this vanished in 10.15, and hasn't been fixed in the five years since?!? wtf Apple, sheesh. Why would you do this.

Are there any workarounds for this?

Does anyone else experience the menu bar (the 3 lines, sometimes called the hamburger for some reason) not opening sometimes when clicked when using Safari?

So far I'm screaming at my main machine every few hours when something else that I have had configured or coded for YEARS/DECADES is suddenly misbehaving.

Stupid examples:

Scroll bars. I have had these set to always since Jesus was toilet training. Finder no longer has a bottom "left right" scroll bar, just for shits and giggles.

Dragging windows by the top bar. This used to be the easy way to drag a window around. Now for reasons that are completely undocumented a click up there might: 1) maximize window, or 2) show all the windows, or 3) make the window jump to a different work space.

Don't start me on search in email, or how using CMD-tab to jump from program to program no longer ACTUALLY OPENS THE WINDOWS OF THE SELECTED PROGRAM.

... needless to say, losing my last shreds of sanity here. Anyone else going quietly mad w/ all the "improvements"?

PS) And the same fucktards are gonna shove a bunch of "AI" down our throats now?

I just updated to Mac OS 15.1 and I am not able to move my dock to my external monitor anymore. Prior to updating to Seqouia I was able to hover my mouse over the bottom edge of my external display and the dock appeared. Anyone facing the same problems in 15.1?

I am just

My download speed is horribly slow here, but I am excited about it... can't wait...

I just got this LG34BK95U Ultrawide monitor. It supports 5k2k but when I first connected it to my Macbook I was able to select a resolution. It was on 4k I believe but it wouldn't let me select a 5k reso. Now when I bring up Displays in System Settings I can't select resolution or 30/60hz. The options disappeared and all I see is color profile and rotation. Does anyone know why this happened and how I can get the options back?

For reference I am using the included thunderbolt cable. And I've tried all 4 ports and no luck.

My secondary screen suddenly started showing a line and not long after has become like this, while usable it’s distracting, is there a way, command line or software, to somehow define a custom resolution and offset it so to “cut” the bottom section and keep the only the working area active?

I know you can do it on windows and Linux but i’m using osx here.

Thanks

Hey all, I put in my login items a .command script to run a terminal command on startup, then told my mac to reboot every night.

It worked for a while, but now the .command file doesn't actually execute the script. If I run the script, it's fine.

The terminal window just returns:

Last login: Thu Oct 24 04:10:29 on ttys000

Restored session: Thu Oct 24 04:10:01 PDT 2024

The default interactive shell is now zsh.

To update your account to use zsh, please run \chsh -s /bin/zsh`.`

For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.

Any ideas?

*edit* to be more specific, the .command is supposed to launch a .py file and have it run every 30 min or so, but it doesn't launch the first time anymore nor does it continue to run like it did before.
