Macbook Pro 15in 2019 SSD MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina Trying to install windows, bootcamp assistant 75% complete in "Partitioning Disk..." phase for 3 hours or so now. It isn't hung (no beach ball) and isn't complaining. I can operate the system and I can look at "About" in the bootcamp assistant...

Satcomer, these drives need to be Fat32 because they are going to be sent to a windows user.

Hi thanks for this. Note that I can use other flash drives and peripherals – this isn't a particular port that has an issue. Also, I don't need to reformat these drives as they work on other macs and need to be formatted Fat32 anyway, which they are already. I'll try the recovery partition...

None of these new flash drives can be seen by Disk Utility on my system. They are being blocked/blacklisted/denied at a much deeper level. Anyway, please follow my logic. What I *originally* experienced was a flash drive that faulty. It mounted and unmounted so fast that some part of the...

Hi Cheryl. This is nothing to do with the brand. This is to do with a specific USB flash drive that had an issue being flagged on the system to be ignored, that now means that others of the same type don't load (are ignored). I just want to know where that type of blacklist/log would be kept so...

Just to clarify, I have 5 brand new flash drives that aren't identified (are ignored). This is, I believe, because one of the same brand misbehaved to such an extent (mounting and unmounting itself rapidly due to power issues) that something about this type of drive is "flagged" by the system...

Thanks but that's nothing to do with it. I only have a problem with Toshiba flash drives. I had one that had power drain issues or something, and subsequently the system has decided to ignore them. I haven't used windows since Windows 3.1.

I've had a problem with a specific type of flash drive in the past that did something such as connect/disconnect rapidly and seems to have led to a situation where that brand of USB stick is ignored now by MacOS Sierra (they probably all identify themselves to the system with the same name for...

I have a QNAP NAS and would like to be able to somehow 'bookmark' the different users that I can connect to it as. It is connected to my network via AFP. For example: click a bookmark and connect to it as 'Admin' click a bookmark and connect to it as 'Zimzim' What is there that I can use that...

I've just updated from Yosemite to Sierra by means of a clean install. Now I have two hard drives, Sierra (new) and Yosemite (old). I don't want to use migration assistant as the whole idea of the clean install was to leave behind all the accumulated crap from several OS upgrades. However...

I often have documents open at smaller sizes that the full screen area. When I open many documents in an application I'd like them all to open at the full screen size. Does anyone know if there's a way to maximise all open document windows in this way? I know about tile and cascade - that's...

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched and searched but couldn't find anything similar. I can't believe it's unique though, perhaps I'm not using the most obvious search terms. The computer that I sync my iphone to was stolen. My new one won't let me sync to it as it...

Reference > Mac Mini A1176 Following a hard drive failure, i put a new hard drive into my mac mini using one of the online guides. It seemed to go very well and I'm good at following such things and tech savvy. The drive was a working one from another mac mini (which was replaced to increase...

Hello I have a Mac Pro (Early 2008) Model IDMA970LL and I'd like to know if it has wifi built in. Sounds stupid I'm sure but I'm just not sure how to tell. I'm using MacOS 10.7.3 and if i start the airport utility it doesn't say anything other than I've already got an ethernet connection...

3 x Pram Zap seems to have cleared all the problems.
