    Calendar .vs. Reminder

    My current solution is to have both and mark the reminder as done.

    Calendar .vs. Reminder

    I have the current belief (which I'm hoping is incorrect) that in Calendar I can have an event with multiple notifications such as on the day and a month before the day but I can't mark it as having been completed. In Reminders, I have the opposite. I can create a reminder and I'm able to make...

    Looking for suggestions on how to configure Podcasts

    I have a Mac running the latest (10.14) along with an iPhone also running the latest (12.4). I also have a couple iPads (12.4). I also have a Watch. I think I have 7 podcasts that I subscribe to via iTunes on the Mac and Podcasts on the iOS devices. I tend to listen to them on the iPhone but...

    Ports used for MacOS and iOS updates

    I'm going to complicate my life since that always leads to more frustration and... hey! we can all use more frustration!!! :) I want to enable QoS on my router and then tell my Apple products to keep themselves updated. My problem is I have a fairly small internet link that can easily...

    New Safari twist

    Google is your friend (sometimes) Apple => System Preferences => Touch ID => Safari AutoFill (uncheck it to get the old behavior) I wonder how many folks prefer the new to the old. My guess is its the same percentage that use the native keyboard instead of a detached keyboard. :)

    New Safari twist

    I'm hoping there is a setting to change this back... I updated to 10.14.4 and now I have to touch the touch-id to get Safari to use the passwords that it has stored away. There appears to be some web sites where that isn't the case. I have the check box checked in Safari => Preferences =>...

    Thank you. I ran Malwarebytes per your suggestion. Found no issues.

    Mysterious dialog

    I was listening to a video via VLC in full screen mode. TimeMachine has been doing a backup for some time. I saw some dialog box show up for a few seconds... disappear... show up again for a few seconds, and then disappear again. I think it said "Mounting base.dmg" but it was fairly quick...

    Itunes Library On External Hard Drive

    Well... this didn't work (so far). Back in 2015 (before Apple Music) I put my ripped music on an external hard drive and put my "iTunes Media folder location" to the external drive. It took a few tries to get it to really work right. Then some time later I signed up for Apple Music and I had...

    Backing Up My Mac Mails

    Also, depending upon how you process your mail, there is a very good chance that the 5GB you are talking about is on the mail server. Your laptop only has a copy of it. For example, if you have an iPhone and it can see the entire 5G, then that is a very strong indication that the email is...

    Official: High Sierra Issues

    Hmm... I have an SSD on my laptop. The laptop is a MBP new in Feb. 2017. And I have a Time Machine backup that I can disconnect when I start to do the update. I'm toying with the idea of doing a clean install... Another thought is to wait. I'm planning on getting some type of iMac when the...

    Official: High Sierra Issues

    Two questions: 1) How is the new file system as far as bug reports, etc? 2) I've been told that it converts the native disk's file system but will it also convert my Time Machine disk? I'd prefer to use the older trusted file system for that until the new one proves trustworthy. What I'm...

    Type Directly Into The Paste Buffer

    I just had an interesting GUI idea. Perhaps it is already implemented somehow. Often I am looking at a web page and want to copy a bit of it. Due to various reasons, using the mouse often doesn't work. So what I do now is go to the search box, type what I need, the select all and cut. It...

    New Logic Board Experience

    My early 2011 MBP died and I got it repaired with a new logic board. (Running 10.12.2) I'm not sure why but when it booted, it did not trust any of my passwords -- especially Mail. What I discovered, consistently, all of the drop down dialog boxes asking for your password, e.g. to connect to...

    Can't Find Setting

    I found it. I use Better Touch Tool. It is a "feature" of it that you can turn off. For anyone else that happens to bump into this thread: BetterTouchTool -> Preferences. Click the "Advanced" button on the left. Then click Advanced Settings. Then click Window Snappping Settings. There you...

    Can't Find Setting

    I'm on a new MBP 13" with touchbar. As an aside, I've yet to use the touchbar but I still somehow believe its cool. Oh... the touch id to wake up from sleep is definitely nice. Aside from that, I've never used it. Anyhow... when I grab a window and slide it to the top of the screen, it (of...

    Iphone App Needed

    Last weekend I rigged up my iPhone to go through my laptop and fired up wireshark to watch the packets. There are options to not use https which helped. Long story short, when the iPhone connects to a Microsoft Exchange server, it appends a list of options to the URL. One is device type =...

    Iphone App Needed

    As best I can. This is giant-mega-corp. We have a "help" desk which doesn't help in this case. I am asking on some internal forums we have. I'm not the only person in this boat. So the only replies I get on the internal forums is "Please let me know if you figure this out!" type of thing...

    Iphone App Needed

    I've cruised a little bit but I thought I would ask. In the company I work, I can get mail in the Mail application on my iPhone but not via the Mail.app application on my Mac. The iPhone uses Exchange. I've tried to do the same steps on my Mac. The company says it will not work and, sure...

    Thank you for the reply. That is pretty much what I'm doing -- either before or after I get in the car.
