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

    The sidebar is only for your convenience. You may remove both libraries from it; and, yes, there are, and should be, two libraries.

    Can I use a 2014 MacMini as an External HD?

    IMHO, if you don't care for the old Mini, strip the HD out of it, buy a HD enclosure (from Mac Sales/Other World Computing) and use it as you would any external.

    Vision Pro

    At $3499, I don't think they'll sell very many! That's ultra pro territory pricing for a household product. Just won't fly!

    How is this possible??

    Beats me! Why do USB-C & Lightning plugs work downside up & upside down? Sure hope you don't stay up all night tonight pondering this stuff! :) FWIW, I would have made a bigger hole for the plug.

    Mouse Pointer Moving Along with Click

    No harm, but you are clearly quite computer literate. How could you not realize? Are you that sheltered that you do not know that there is another computer world out there besides MS Windows PCs?

    Stickies disappeared when reinstalling OSX Ventura after log in issues.

    No, those .plist's are most likely preferences for various apps. I don't use stickies, so I'm not going to be of much further help.

    Stickies disappeared when reinstalling OSX Ventura after log in issues.

    IF your Stickies are indeed in TM backup, then you can search for them. However, you need to know what they are called (which I do not) and, hopefully, where they might be located.

    Transfer ALL the Time Machine Backups to a New Disk? Can it be done?

    The initial backup is totally complete (depending upon your preferences) and then the subsequent backups are partials. If, and when, you need a backup or part of the backup, TM will give you all of what you want. Forget your old HD and start over with the new one and a total backup.

    Transfer ALL the Time Machine Backups to a New Disk? Can it be done?

    I "THINK" you can do just that, however you'll need to have both HDs going thru your Mac. I also "THINK" you'll have to designate the new HD as the TM backup drive 1st. While both are on your desktop, drag from old to new. This may take quite awhile, so be prepared. Then de-designate the old HD...
