    Mackeeper Ad

    It is hard. I can block them, and have in the past. But then they show up through new URLs and whatever. Then at some point, I was learning out stuff and removed them from the block list. Basically, what DeltaMac said, is a good summary of the situation. It's legit software that must make bank...

    Best Mail.app Alternative?

    I can't deal with the sorting inability of Mail.app anymore. It doesn't even sort correctly after you do a search. You have to go in and choose oldest to newest and then back again to get it to sort correctly, at least in Smart Folders. The inability to just click on the columns to sort what you...

    Safari 11.1.2 "Please verify you are a human" help

    Do you have this issue with other sites when you use the verification? If you disable "Prevent cross-site tracking" under Privacy, you won't have to verify you are a human every single time it comes up, plus you will give relevant ads on websites you visit, vs just random stuff. I'm all about...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Well, it seems like all is fine. The only issue with my Logitech MX Master 2, which has been acting weird anyhow, but the curser won't move with it, the buttons works fine, but not moving the cursor. Reinstalled the software, turned on all the new usage allowed things for it and nothing. My old...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    5 hours after I hit install, it came back to life with the Catalina login screen. I was using what I thought was the latest install since I just downloaded it this afternoon. When I looked at the screen it never got past 10% on progress bar, but was surprised to see the login screen. Now for the...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Well, no luck. Still at the same place, even with the original Apple memory. Guess I’ll just let it remain 3 hours and if it’s not done by then, I’ll boot recovery mode and restore from time machine. Fun.

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    I’m losing confidence. Come back 20 mins later, no estimated time remaining, progress bar still hasn’t budged. I hit the power button, it’s like... hold your horses... and says, 9 mins left. Now it says 18 minutes remaining. Hmmmm... I know the estimation time is never a valid indicator but...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Now 15 mins later, no changes on the screen and no signs of life I hit the power button and oddly didn’t just hold it down to force it off. It responded with I have to wait for the update to finish and then showed 9 mins left. After 30 seconds the estimated time disappeared and progress bar...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    I remember reading where someone had issue with Crucial Memory as being an issue. I’ve had nothing but trouble with Crucial memory on this Mac. So I finally replaced it and haven’t had any issues since. But I guess if rebooting doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll try removing the RAM.

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Well, I kicked off the install about 80 mins ago, then went off to do other things and come back in and the bar is about 10% completed and no estimated time remaining presented. It’s oddly, very quiet. No drive clicks, no fan, just silence. :/

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    That is valid. I enjoy the new features usually, even if only a few really impact my day to day, allows me to stay up to date on everything, so for me, delaying as long as I have, is really odd. But, I think my post above was counseling enough for myself to just bite the bullet. I booted up...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    I’ve never been one to shy away from Mac OS updates. There will be bugs but life goes on. I can usually handle my own on the tech side so no issues there. But for some reason, I can’t bring myself to do the update. I finally decided to install it on a empty drive that I have, which is happening...

    If you hold down the shift key, while clicking the refresh 3/4 circle icon (on the right side of the URL) does that load more images?

    Ah! Well, a super easy way on getting a file list is simply open up the application Terminal. Transverse to the directory where your images are. For example, if they are in a sub-folder of Pictures folder under your User directory, in a folder called My Images... Type in Terminal: ls -1...
