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.

I'm still checking things over ... what concerns me is I have aliases that show up in the .cleverfile folder. When I click on them, the aliases go to the folders on my computer. I'm trying to figure out if I should delete the clever file folder if it's going to take files that are in the aliases...

At last count I have 98 Applications.

Yes, I've used RoaringApps. All are fine. Don't have any old intel programs running as Monterey took care of that. :) Don't know what code numbering programs are. Don't know what Universal or Pure Silicon applications are. All the apps

I have two libraries that show up in Finder. (I have for years). I probably dragged either or both over there years ago. One is HD>Users>Home>Library and the other is HD>Library. I understand they contain different info, one is the system library and the other a local. Is it okay to remove...

I had an issue a couple years ago when I was upgrading from Big Sur to Monterey and the computer crashed. Had to take it to the computer guys to fix. They may have run it. I understand what creates it. I want to get rid of it. There is 560gb on the system files when I search "storage" on About...

Two years ago I posted about these and have run into them again. I'm getting ready to transfer from a 1TB Fusion Mac to a 512 M2. And I ran into hundreds of these files. Can I just delete them? I'd rather get rid of them now than have some footnote or asterisk or drop down show up muddling the...

Here I am, 2 years later about to transfer files from a 1TB Fusion to the new 512GB M2. And I just ran into hundreds of these files. Can I delete them? I'd rather delete them now then for them to show up clogging the system.

Only concern about trying it is when I try it, goes south, then we're down a rabbit hole when I attempt later, or it says it's already done, or I can't get there from here, or it freezes, or spins or .... :-) Not my first rodeo with Apple and "just trying it." That's what happened when I "just...

Couldn't afford the 1TB. Best Buy was the choice because Apple care is included with Total Tech. And since I have 5GB of External backing all kinds of stuff up, I figured what diff does it make? After all, the trend is a smaller hard drive on the laptop now and everything is saved externally on...

Can all the apps be copied? etc? I have a lot of this already duplicated and copied etc on three EHDs ... and, of course, the TM, but that is copying the entire MacMini I assume. I'm trying to get the answer as to what happens when I connect a 512gb max computer to a 1TB computer in the "just...

Does this answer my question? Does the new mac attempt to copy system drive files? Will I have to make decisions on what files and folders I have to bring over or can I use migration assistant? What is the actual size of the stuff I'm bringing over since 512GB of it is the system data? ....

I just rebooted thinking after all this moving and deleting and trashing that maybe something would change it did. It's now larger.

Why is it seem it's always SOMETHING :) I moved the 300gb iMovie library. Docs: 82gb check. i Cloud Drive: 74GB check Photos: 27gb. Everything else in the mb range....preparing the 1TB move to the 512GB new Mac Mini arriving today .... then I see "only 265 gb available on current 1TB Fusion."...

True.

I'm fine with the old Mini, just want to know what the procedure is to make it into an external. Do I just reformat the drive?

I have a 1TB Fusion Drive MacMini Intel 5. I finally am upgrading to the new Mini M2. It has 512GB storage. I know I'll have to make decisions on what to move and keep. (I did just move the iMovie to an external. It was 298GB, so that helps with the decisions - and I'm zipping that to save on...

I bought knock-offs and they're fine for when I need to have a conversation with someone for a long time, or if I'm on hold. $45. I think I'd be reeeealllly annoyed if I paid $200. :cool:

Sure, that's fine when it already starts playing. Spin, spin, swipe, spin. I'm talking about it not happening in the first place. Why do I have to go through this? Why does anyone? Why can't we decide whether music plays when earphones are plugged in? I own earphones for phone calls. No...
