I just got my new MacBook Pro for video editing and music production. The problem is that I found some source material form YouTube for either of my vid or music but I don't know how to download these vids into mp4 or mp3 as the way I used to on my pc. If u got any way to deal with my problem pls tell me.

(thanks for the platform and sorry for my bad English)

So this happens only with this website, happens in chrome and Safari… page is pe.efatura.cv… what it could be?. osx 10.10- can’t be updated

This one is new for me.

My macbook pro (mid 2012) started acting up the other day. The last time this happened, the hard drive (spinning disc) was failing. No problem, I I replaced it with an ssd, and upgraded the RAM. Everything was great. That was 4 years ago.

I thought it was odd that the ssd would fail so soon, but bought a new one and did the same migration process anyway. I used an external usb enclosure to install the os, and migrate the user.

The new ssd works perfectly when it's in the enclosure. When I put it in the computer and use the internal sata, the Mac freezes before I can even log in. After a while it'll unfreeze and finish logging in but then freeze again when I select a file on the desktop. Not open the file, just select.

Not every time, but sometimes when I boot up with it installed internally, I see the gray prohibited symbol, but then it goes away and is replaced by the normal apple symbol.

I'm stumped. I know the machine is old and if I can't fix it soon I'll just buy a new one, but this seems really odd.

Any ideas?

Hi everyone

I’m a big fan of snow leopard mostly because of how lightweight, beautiful and transparent it was Now, the support is lacking a lot nowadays and want to switch over to mavericks I’ve tried it out but things like the transparent dock are missing, I want to remove the new apps and also want to use the older version for example ical If possible, I also want to have the old UI A bit of the UI has changed and want it preferably being the exact snow leopard UI like the dock for example If you know anything, please let me know.

Hi, I’m looking for guidance on remote-controlling my grandparent’s 2011 iMac (over the years I doubled its Ram to 8GB and swapped the HDD for an SSD and she won’t quit).

Ideally the program autostarts for them and doesn’t require them to provide a code for each session; they’re both 93 and I’m trying to keep this as seamless as possible. With their older Mac, I don’t believe screen share is in the cards but have heard of AnyDesk and have used TeamViewer.

I’d really only be helping them press buttons in Mail and Skype when they hit a snag.

Thank you very much!

Im trying to reinstall the os on a 2015 (i think) desktop.

Thing is,the machine isn't accepting keyboard inputs.

Is there a way to access a virtual keyboard during setup?

If not, them this machine is going in the bin.

(for those that use keyboard shortcuts)

For most apps, I keep them running in the back so I can quickly switch back to them. Cmd-H works best for these apps that are simple and single windowed.

Cmd-w should be reserved for closing a window and clearing the state, like when you want to clear all the tabs of Safari in the current window, or exit a certain window within a multi-window app.

I just cmd-q when I really want to exit. I otherwise always cmd-h (when I just want to move a window out of the way). cmd-m also has the same problem as cmd-w when using cmd-tab, and it's slow. I haven't found a real reason to use cmd-m with the 3 other options, as I don't need the window icon to appear on the dock, because I use keyboard shortcuts. (Edit: see comment by u/mrgraff where cmd-m helps)

TLDR: From least invasive to most: cmd-h -> cmd-w -> cmd q. Only cmd-h "works" with cmd-tab.

Hey all - I got a MBP M4 recently (my first non-Intel Mac) and have noticed some strange behavior (to me). Plugged-in, or unplugged, the machine remains pingable. I am not using WoL, but just normal 'ping'.

Also, my firewall reports that it's uploading at times that the machine is closed and I expect it to be sleeping. NOTE that the uploads are all to sites that I expect and are minimal 'phone home' type things (like OneDrive), so not some spyware or other activity.

Overall, it seems that it's maybe not fully sleeping even though the lid is closed... or is it? Are these newer M series Macs setup to handle ping/etc. when they are sleeping by some low-power processor or something?

Battery life is absolutely amazing, so it must be sleeping, but I find it odd that pings still work. I'm using the "automatic" settings for both battery and plugged-in in the power settings.

does anyone know why this is happening. it happens on an older powerbook and an older iMac. I’ve checked all accessibility settings (zoom). it stops if i get off the wi-fi network (no internet)

I just set up a new Mac Mini M4 and got home after an hour being away and found the fan running loud and noisy, and the machine was hot - for this new mac anyway. When I opened activity monitor there were 2 instances of a process called "scanapp" that were totally slamming the CPU usage. So I terminated them and the machine cooled down. Any idea what this could be? - Thanks!

Im trying to find a dmg file for OSX 10.11.1 15B42 for my Macbook Air 2014. Can you guys try find this dmg file because I really need to update to 10.11.1. Also, is there a firmware archive specificly for macOS and osx update files and dmgs, that are not dead links? Thanks!

I have a new MacBook Pro that I’m going to be setting up but I don’t want to have iCloud Photos syncing to it. (All other iCloud stuff is fine). I watched a few YouTube videos about setup and it looks like if I just sign in at setup it just does everything. If I click “setup later”. Will I be able to uncheck photos during the account setup?

Thanks in advanced, as I also haven’t setup a new MacBook in a long while.

Finder sucks for copying files - really really bad. I know there are third party paid-for tools - but has anyone figured out if it is possible to integrate rsync into the finder?

I am looking for the best OS to upgrade my laptop. I don't want Linux, only MAC OS. I want it to run smoothly and go smoothly. I'm on Mojave but I can't get updates for my apps anymore.

Ventura?

Sonoma?

Sequoia?

hello, those of you who use the latest version of catalina are probably also aware that you have to use some terminal commands to get some sharing features to work such as SMB and remote login. after manually starting the launch daemon for remote login in the the terminal, I cannot get it to turn off again. Turning it off with the tick box leaves it stuck on stopping and after restarting the computer I discover that its stuck on

help would be appreciated, thank you

Hello! Do you know how or what application or software I could use to remote desktop into my Mac outside of my home location? Gonna be out of town for a few days, but I can’t take my whole set up with me. Something that is quite simple to set up? There’s other stuff I’ve heard of such as Tailscale, but it’s a little bit too complicated for me. Thanks for the help.

Hello everyone,

I have a late 2013 iMac and I would like to keep it's native OS while attaching an external SSD for a 2nd OS as I have read of being done here previously.

Can anyone confirm if I can plug in an external SSD, clone my existing OS to it, then use OpenCore Legacy to upgrade the SSD OS to Sequoia?

Thank you for reading,

Logan

Hi guys I’m trying to set up a legacy OS X server using Mac OS X snow Leopard Server 10.6.8. I set the server up on my works network and have since moved the computer back home where I plan to have this thing running.

I got a problem. Server preferences is giving an issue saying it cannot set the node credentials for the LDAPv3 / 127.0.0.1 with my record name. Any suggestions on what to do here?

Hi all, I hope someone could help me.

I use the notes app on all of my apple devices - iPhone iPad & MacBook Pro and share the content on iCloud.

Since several days, perhaps since the update 15.2, I am not able to global search on the Mac. In standard I use the shortcut option-command-F nut this didn't work. In the menu the search is greyed out. Only the local search on one document is available.

On the other devices - iPad and iPhone - the search is still available.

I analyzed the settings but couldn't find restrictions. I live in Germany.

Is this a new restriction, do I change somewhere a parameter, is it an error in the programming?

Please help.

Cheers,
Thomas.

Installed VirtualBox on my M2 MacBook Air in order to spin up a Linux VM, was going to use puppy since it's tiny. Under type I only see Linux and BSD, fine. Subtypes are also fine. But under version, no matter what type/subtype I choose, I only have ARM 64-bit options.

My question is, is it possible, using VirtualBox, to run x86/intel 64-bit, OSes? Or do I indeed need to stick with ARM based OSes?

I have a 2011 imac, right now there is no OS on it and It will not allow me to use internet recover for lion or high sierra. I need to create a bootable drive and install high sierra, but i only have a windows laptop. Is this possible?

Googled for a solution, nothing I found applied/or fixed anything.

Anyone else come across this issue and fixed it, or at least figured out the cause? Was working. Stop seemingly at random.

I figure that I could install Rectangles to get a better version of these features, but since I only recently returned to OSX I am trying to avoid installing programs to fix my usage desires and learn how to use the OS as is.

Trying to fix a problem for a friend with a Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.7.1.

He bought a low-cost bi-directional HDMI switch and connected it to a Lightning dock. When switching between external monitor, MacOS doesn't detect it has an other external display connected. The Monitors screen always shows the monitor which was connected first to the HDMI switch. When I force a refresh a 'Detect screens" nothing changes.

Is this a known issue with hopefully a solution/workaround? Anyone have the same setup?

It seems Safari is always provided as a separate update on the 2 previous supported macOS version, while the most recent has it included in its update.

Is it because certain users/companies want to be able to keep using the older Safari version ? 🤔

Someone I'm helping has an older iMac (no SSD, running Catalina atm) that I'd like to clean up unused files like previous OS updates, caches, uninstalled apps, etc etc.

Apparently once upon a time "Clean My Mac" was highly regarded for this, but scanning through some of the recent reviews of it on the App Store I'm seeing a lot of disappointed people.

I'm sure I could eventually learn or at least document all the various hocus-pocus to find and eliminate all this stuff, but I'd rather just use a good reliable 3rd-party tool if possible because I want to quickly clear some diskspace before I do another OS update.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

iCloud just took a shit on me and wouldn't let me transfer files between folders. I couldn't open them because they were pending to upload or something. I turned off iCloud after restarting finder and the whole machine, I turned off iCloud and choose to keep files. Most of the files were not saved locally so I lost most of them and now I have to hope they're still in the cloud.

Last generation intel 17" and a m1 mini, both will be replaced by m3/m4 shortly with a work refresh.

In an ideal world I'd love a good audio interface that had multiple USB inputs. Currently my desktop audio system has 4x balanced inputs so i run each PC to the amplifier.

I've grown very accustomed to my desktop setup which is the m1 stays at the desktop and the laptop docks. 2x LG thunderbolt 3 monitors and then the monitors provide power and downstream USB (keyboard, ethernet, webcam, etc). Each monitor also has speakers/soundcard but the volume level is only controllable via the monitors controls. Not very intuitive.

I had a peavey USB audio interface from years ago - similar story. Audio box go2? Same deal. That unit has volume knob(s) but i want to hide the unit under the desk.

What I'd love is the smallest device which takes usb a or c and outputs a balanced stereo signal but my main requirement is that the system volume (das keyboard with wheel and the m1 mini has a generic usb spinning wheel) controls the device.

Can someone explain how the system determines if the audio device has a controllable volume? I'm assuming it's provided by the driver? Is there something i can look for or am i kind of buy and try territory? Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'd settle for unbalanced outputs if the device is of good quality

I find a video where I very appreciate the rendering, I don't know how the man do to put his cam like it was the wallpaper of the desktop, can someone know this guys do to put his window as overlay of his camera ?
