    New window treatment?

    Ever since I updated to OS 15.3.1 (Sequoia) and it's Safari 18.3, I'm getting weird windows vanishing to the margins when I open another one in Safari. Don't know if I did something or it's part of Safari. I don't like it and want it back to 'normal' (If there is such a thing!) I cannot find...

    Battery charge

    I have just updated to OS 15.3 on my MBP 16" M4 and also my wife's MBP 16" M1. Both, while plugged in, stay at 96% and the charge cord stays on orange, signifying it is charging. Neither had done this last week on OS 15.2 easily charging to 100% and cord stays green. Cannot see any way to...

    Screen help!

    I woke up this morning, sick, I might add, to find this! Am I totally screwed, or is this fixable? WHOA!! The screen shot does NOT show the ½ inch wide stripe from top to bottom! Weird!

    Wallpaper change

    I have a ton of great pictures I use for wallpaper that I change when the mood arises. What puzzles me is that, every once in a while, I'll accidentally hit a key combo that changes my wallpaper. I have absolutely no clue what I did! Anyone have an idea what I did?

    Mark Read

    Brief rant here as I know of nowhere else to post it other than in all forums.. I frequent many forums, and practically all have an option to 'Mark Read' or 'Mark All Read' or some variation of it. (This one too) I read and even sometimes respond to postings, but there are always threads I am...

    Formatting

    Long story short, I have a new toy that uses SD cards, but they have to be in Fat32 format. My Mac's Disk Utility (Sonoma 14.2) only has the options, other than Mac, ExFat or MS-DOS (Fat) Having 2 SDHD cards already, I had to go buy another just to have a Fat32 format that, I was told, come...

    DiskWarrior is back from the dead!!

    Can't believe it, but DiskWarrior is alive and kicking with version 5.3 just hitting the net!! After 4 ½ years, this is the first sign that Alsoft is still working on the app. AND, an added bonus, it's a free upgrade for v. 5 owners.

    Facebook going bizerck?

    Is anyone else having trouble with Facebook? It decides to scroll and flick up & down all by itself. It is not just my Mac; wife's does the same thing as do several of my FB friends. If has a mind, however crazy, of it's own! I've deleted & reloaded it; run virus software, and restarted...

    Album Art

    Problem. My new car (Genesis GV80) shows the song and album art with Apple CarPlay on the screen. All of my music is on my Mac (MBP 2021 16") in Music, then sync'd to my iPhone 12 Pro Max. CarPlay mirrors what is on the phone. Album art comes from Music (and prior to that, iTunes) Problem is...

    MacUpdate

    I am totally disgusted with MacUpdate. I am a regular user, but it is getting so hard to use them, I just may have to change all I possibly can to Apple's App Store. This is an email I sent to them today. I urge anyone that is at all interested in what they (used to) provide to also write and...

    Cord cleaning

    New 16" MBP. The MagSafe 3 charger cord is now fabric covered. My cord is quite dirty, and was wondering if anyone has tried to clean theirs yet. And with what? A few years ago, i wiped down the cord from my old MBP, and the covering started to deteriorate. I do not want to go that route again...

    Deleting Microsoft AutoUpdate?

    I have deleted Microsoft AutoUpdate app and many 'periferials', but 4 large files remain as they are locked and cannot be unlocked, at least bye traditional methods. Any idea how? (if they were small, I'd let them ride, but they are quite large! These are the files, and one of the 'Get Info's'...

    Folder item count

    Simple question that I cannot find anywhere! Please--where is it. New MBP and cannot find setting anywhere to get the item count along the botton of any folder I open. Always had it on my old MBP, but somehow lost it. (Have tried finder prefs, all system prefs, and even all of TinkerTool)

    ndoagent

    I'll try to make this short. Was formatting USB for a car update, and somehow deleted my desktop. Replaces from Time Machine backup, but now I get constant, sporadic ndoagent quitting alerts. Spent time with Apple tech support (yes, I still get it for free with my new 16" MBP) All they could...

    suggestd

    As shown, 3 weeks ago, I was getting this very frequently--roughly 45 times in 5-6 days. I did almost nothing and it went away for 2 weeks. Starting yesterday, it has returned; happening about every hour. I understand it has to do with notifications between Apple programs and products. What I do...

    Calendar woes

    Any Calendar experts? Mystery here. Wife & I share our Calendars on our MBPs & iPhones (with iCloud backup). All syncs very well EXCEPT---the moment either of us clicks "All Day" (as in birthdays etc.) it disappears of 2-3 of the 4 calendars. A search (top right) shows up, but not visible on...

    App Store problem

    Several months ago, the Mac App Store was having trouble downloading updates; somehow it fixed itself after a few weeks. I know that Messenger for Facebook needs updating as the app says so. Only place to get it is Apple App Store. Skip ahead to a week ago. App Store (icon in my dock) says 1...

    Mackeeper Ad

    If you do a search for 'Mackeeper' on this site, you'll find a whole lot of anti Mackeeper statements along with many many problems with it. WHY, then, are they allowed to advertise here? The pros and amateurs, alike, recommend to NEVER install Mackeeper.

    Flash

    Is there any way to use Flash in Safari 14? Yes, I know it's despised, yes I know it's going away 12/31. I play a few games that require Flash. Worst case senario, I do have a .dmg of Safari 13.1.2
