    reduced photo image quality when emailing, Mac OS Ventura, Macbook Air, 2022

    Funny you ask that. I keep trying but when I click on update it asks for my account PW which I use to log in every day, but the update refuses it , shaking and saying it's wrong. I can't figure that one out. Even so, I don't know if her computer is updated past 13.2, probably not, but neither is...

    reduced photo image quality when emailing, Mac OS Ventura, Macbook Air, 2022

    I do understand what you are saying BUT it has never happened to me before on this computer, or her computer. And it's happening in several different locations around this city which I'm sure have different ISPs. It is only occurring with her Macbook Air, 2022, OS Ventura. I have done the same...

    reduced photo image quality when emailing, Mac OS Ventura, Macbook Air, 2022

    The images are .jpeg imported directly from a Fuji X-20 SD card. The size options are there before sending but even when sent actual size the same lack of resolution occurs. I looked at both the original and the received images side by side and there is a slight but definite resolution loss of...

    reduced photo image quality when emailing, Mac OS Ventura, Macbook Air, 2022

    When emailing a photograph to anyone from my wife's mac the image quality gets reduced, slightly softer focus. I haven't seen this issue before and she didn't either on her previous Macbook air. Does anyone have any clues? I checked preferences in Mail and System and Photos and can't find...

    macbook air won't recognize my account password to upgrade software

    I shut down and restarted and it accepted my account PW as it always has. No other action or application that requires the PW has refused it, only the software update for the system. Could it be that is part of what the update is attempting to fix?

    macbook air won't recognize my account password to upgrade software

    before I try that I was able to use my currently known password to sync my apple watch for opening apps and more using the same type of window- my user name appeared and asked for my password. I typed it in and it was accepted as usual. Could the software update be another issue not caused by my...

    macbook air won't recognize my account password to upgrade software

    I have my M1 Macbook Air recently upgraded to OS Ventura 13.2. Today I got a software update message for Ventura 13.2.1. When I click on restart to do the install it asks for my password which I have used forever. It refuses to accept it. What can I do? I'm afraid to shut down the computer now...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    now 24 hours later after upgrading to the most recent OSX Ventura 13.2 there have been NO further crashes (fingers still crossed). I am assuming that something deep in the machine got corrupted and even using disk first aid and any other tool like Onyx nothing was able to even discover a...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    It wouldn't do a time machine backup, kept stating that files weren't available and it would continue when the computer was unlocked? it crashed during the update too, so it didn't install at first try, but now it worked. Holding my breath to see if it crashes again today after the new OS...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    I did but with no change. I believe that I have tried everything that I can do. So now I am doing the upgrade to Ventura and hope that solves it. Otherwise I'm taking it in. I looked for new applications that I might have added around the time it started to crash but there were none, only...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    While it's not really a startup issue, per se, because it happens after it's already running, sometimes all day, I did try your suggestions. The terminal version didn't work. I kept getting the message: nvram: Error clearing firmware variable fmm-mobileme-token-FMM: (iokit/common) not permitted...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    I was hoping it was a weird location problem but it isn't. It crashed again this morning upon opening the screen and clicking on an email. I even did a start from RESTORE yesterday and ran Disk Utility First aid for the whole thing. No luck. Any other ideas? I might just bring it in to repair...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    The odd thing is that I've been using it as is on Big Sur at home in California on my own Wi-Fi with no problem of the restart / error. Only when I restarted in Louisiana on my other private Wi_fi did it start to give me that problem so I don't know that it's related to the OS. Any other...

    Macbook Air M1 OSX 11.7.2 keeps freezing and restarting with error message

    It has been fine until 3 days ago when I left California and flew to Louisiana and restarted on my own private wi-fi system. Now at least once a day, often when awakening and I click on a Mail in the inbox the pointer freezes and then it shuts down and restarts saying that there was an error...

    macmail won't turn off spell check

    I have tried that several times with no change. Also sometimes the command to Hide Mail goes grey and doesn't work until I close mail and reopen it. I'm not sure what is going on but it is more than simply annoying.

    macmail won't turn off spell check

    I checked my system preferences and Correct Spelling Automatically is UNchecked so it shouldn't be happening, but it continues, ruthlessly.

    macmail won't turn off spell check

    When I turn off spellcheck in the mail preferences it stays on and corrects (?) the spelling automatically, often changing the words completely. I have tried closing, reopening, restarting, running Onyx, everything I can think of and nothing resolves the issue. I don't mind if it just underlined...
