    How do I migrate from 2021 MM to 2023 MM2 with one monitor

    I have one monitor. All the how tos talk about seeing codes, okays, yeses between one mini and the other using migrate assist. The old Mini is 1tb but I’ve managed to get what is on it down to 350g. The new one is 512 gb. If I attempt to use Time m is it going to f up? Is it even possible? Or...

    Software is changing

    Thanks for interpreting clearly. Good amount of time to retool though.

    I wish understand this english form no follow not because to be and verbs predicate and subject hard.

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    i downloaded the disk drill app and followed their specific instructions to remove them. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it worked. I checked the drop down box as well(clear protected data). it took awhile to remove the 580gb. you can also find them in your systems folder. they are...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    I was questioning the .cleverfiles because I had 580GB used of my 1TB in System Data. And I assumed, apparently correctly, that since these files were under "SYSTEM" that they were clogging up my HD. The process to uninstall the files eventually worked. I think I wasn't waiting long enough, as...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    I decided to download the Disk Drill app as the tech said to do to remove the cleverfiles. I follow the instructions to delete the app and I get a pop up that says "clear protected data" yes or now? Ah... okay.... is this simply removing the .cleverfiles or everything. Waiting again for the...

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

    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.

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    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...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    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

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

    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...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    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...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    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...

    Cleverfiles. Huh? How do I get things out of there. And why are they there?

    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.

    Can I use a 2014 MacMini as an External HD?

    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...

    How do I 'just simply' deal with this huge SYSTEM DATA report?

    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 I use a 2014 MacMini as an External HD?

    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...

    How do I 'just simply' deal with this huge SYSTEM DATA report?

    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? ....

    How do I 'just simply' deal with this huge SYSTEM DATA report?

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

    How do I 'just simply' deal with this huge SYSTEM DATA report?

    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."...
