Has anyone had any luck finding a VHS to Digital converter that works with M2 and Ventura? I have the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac. It worked great until I upgraded to the MacMini with M2 chip. I knew when I did this I'd have to replace it since it states on the box "Intel." However, I assumed...

It's funny. I'm getting notices to download the new Sonoma and I can't even get Ventura to play nice yet. The STOCKS.APP works on the iPhone an iPad. Since I migrated my MacMini to the MM2, On Sept 2 the stocks.app on the computer stopped updating. I found these two files (see attached). I'd...

I have a TM backup from Monterey and my MacMini Fusion (2014). Do I need to reformat as APFS? Or can I just run TM and all the old info will be overwritten. I assume it's not going to do an incremental since it's a new computer, right? I'm just worried about overwriting the backup that exists...

"Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible" is still a choice in energy settings. Apple's explanation is to Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible choose Put hard drive to sleep whenever possible." My question is WHY not How. Is there any reason to choose this? There's no spinning disk. If I...

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...

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...

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...

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."...

I have a 1TB Fusion Drive MacMini Intel 5. I finally am upgrading to the new Mini M2. It has 512GB storage. I know I'll have to make decisions on what to move and keep. (I did just move the iMovie to an external. It was 298GB, so that helps with the decisions - and I'm zipping that to save on...

I've seriously spent quite a bit of time trying to find this answer. I cannot believe, seriously believe, that APPLE really thinks that every time someone puts earphones into their ears that they want music to start playing. The other day I was on hold using the speaker. I decided to put the...

Either I'm dragging a finger at the same time I'm clicking on something, or the magic trackpad is really magic. But I can't figure out why often I'll have one finger on the trackpad and will be attempting to go to an open window or maybe scroll down and suddenly I'm highlighting content. Or...

Nope. Don't want to purchase a recording of a mockingbird. Want to use the recording I have of a mockingbird. I followed all the "just simply" steps in going to my music, finding the file, changing it to 30 seconds (it's 31, but still shows 31, though I changed and saved it as 29), changed it to...

Well, we're trying to figure out what to do. I was switching log in users on the laptop. When I put in my password, the laptop window shook and said it wasn't right. The window finally dropped down and showed me the hint. It was exactly what I was trying to put in. Then I decided, heck, I'll...

Okay. I remember back in the olden days you could choose what to share with family. Apple TV, Music, News, iCloud. I'm trying to "just simply" share apple tv+. I'm getting, after add member, share all of them. It's 2023. Can I not now just share one?

Just asking. Often, too, iMovie gets "dumber." I was watching a YouTube video about the awesomeness of the new iMovie for influencers and TikTokers using their iPhones and Tablets. I'm editing old movies and have 10.3.5 at the moment. I like the storyboard feature, but don't need some of the...

Any reason I can't move the default iMovie.Library to an external? I need to free up 300gb of space. I just now started to use special libraries for events/projects. The fastest thing, obviously, would be to move the default library and continue to make the individual libraries over time. But...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post. But since apparently the only way to edit the Memories is through the phone, I thought I'd start here. I was trying to do this on my Mac mini and the large computer but apparently I have to do the edits with swipes and clicks on the phone. So...

Never mind. Just discovered I had accidentally hit the contacts and the phone default wasn't on. Ugh. Monday. **** I have googled and attempted to find this answer. There are 15,600,000 results. None answer this question. I can see my iPhone iCloud contacts, Gmail contacts, etc, now as lists...

This seems to not be as easy to find an answer to as I thought. I have a TM External backup. It's been acting weird, so to be safe I'd like to transfer ALL the backups (back to January) that are currently on that HD). I've read about setting Extended Journaled vs. AFPS; I've read the 2016 "how...
