    I would like to just simply delete two plist files in Ventura. How?

    Thanks. I tend to stay away from Terminal as it is "above my pay grade."

    I would like to just simply delete two plist files in Ventura. How?

    Thanks. I gave up. Have no idea how I would have to get permission as the owner of the computer. LOL I just use it on the phone. It's frozen in time on the computer, September 18

    VHS to Digital converter needed that works with Ventura and M2 chip

    Has anyone had any luck finding a VHS to Digital converter that works with M2 and Ventura? I have the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac. It worked great until I upgraded to the MacMini with M2 chip. I knew when I did this I'd have to replace it since it states on the box "Intel." However, I assumed...

    I would like to just simply delete two plist files in Ventura. How?

    It's funny. I'm getting notices to download the new Sonoma and I can't even get Ventura to play nice yet. The STOCKS.APP works on the iPhone an iPad. Since I migrated my MacMini to the MM2, On Sept 2 the stocks.app on the computer stopped updating. I found these two files (see attached). I'd...

    Do I need to reformat my TM backup that I used prior to MM2 and Ventura?

    Is the answer, yes, if you want to do "Start New," keeping the old on the same external for awhile, then dump it later, you can. But, if you do that and drag to the trash, it will take forever. Correct? Follow up: Will the new backup do what it's supposed to do and delete older backups as...

    Do I need to reformat my TM backup that I used prior to MM2 and Ventura?

    Here's a question: If I choose "Start separate" (and we're assuming there's enough space left on the 2TB), can I delete the old/other computer's backups at a later date? I'm thinking it might be wise to keep the other mac around "just in case" but after awhile, to claim back the space on the...

    Do I need to reformat my TM backup that I used prior to MM2 and Ventura?

    I have a TM backup from Monterey and my MacMini Fusion (2014). Do I need to reformat as APFS? Or can I just run TM and all the old info will be overwritten. I assume it's not going to do an incremental since it's a new computer, right? I'm just worried about overwriting the backup that exists...

    WHY would you "Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible? Not How on MM2 Silicon?

    Are you saying with Externals attached that have drives, that I should use "Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible?" to help those also sleep? I always put the computer to sleep when I'm done for the day. I didn't think about the externals. I assume they're sleeping unless I wake them up to...

    WHY would you "Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible? Not How on MM2 Silicon?

    "Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible" is still a choice in energy settings. Apple's explanation is to Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible choose Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible." My question is WHY not How. Is there any reason to choose this? There's no spinning disk. If I...

    How do I migrate from 2021 MM to 2023 MM2 with one monitor

    If we get to the "it might" and "it should" and it doesn't, what are the issues? How would I start over? I'd also be going from the TM that was used to backup the MacMini Fusion running Monterey, and new one is Ventura? Is that going to cause issues (Another asterisk... LOL). I plan on saving...

    How do I migrate from 2021 MM to 2023 MM2 with one monitor

    I have one monitor. All the how tos talk about seeing codes, okays, yeses between one mini and the other using migrate assist. The old Mini is 1tb but I’ve managed to get what is on it down to 350g. The new one is 512 gb. If I attempt to use Time m is it going to f up? Is it even possible? Or...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    i downloaded the disk drill app and followed their specific instructions to remove them. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it worked. I checked the drop down box as well(clear protected data). it took awhile to remove the 580gb. you can also find them in your systems folder. they are...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    I was questioning the .cleverfiles because I had 580GB used of my 1TB in System Data. And I assumed, apparently correctly, that since these files were under "SYSTEM" that they were clogging up my HD. The process to uninstall the files eventually worked. I think I wasn't waiting long enough, as...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    I decided to download the Disk Drill app as the tech said to do to remove the cleverfiles. I follow the instructions to delete the app and I get a pop up that says "clear protected data" yes or now? Ah... okay.... is this simply removing the .cleverfiles or everything. Waiting again for the...

    Is it safe to remove the Library folders from the finder sidebar? And, should I leave one? Which?

    I decided to just remove them from the sidebar. If I need to get into a library for preferences, etc., I'll just call it back up. Thanks for your help.
