I am not sure as to when this happened but as of yesterday, I am not able to print properly. To make sure it is not one Mac, I tested it on two other Macs and here I have the same problem. I also have the same problem on two different printers, a laser Brother, and a Canon ix6850 A3 bubblejet...

My MBP (16’ M1) has a hardwired connection to my local network and in that network is a Mac Mini that has an external SSD disk attached to it that is specifically dedicated to Time Machine (the SSD). It has worked fine for years. Recently I needed a backup of a preference file in the OS, and I...

I have two M1 MacBook Pro’s running Venture 13.6.1. Both are connected to a hub via the MBP USB port. The hub has several USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port.

I have the following script that worked fine under version 12.4 Update 8 but stopped working when I upgrade VeraCrypt to the newer version (1.25.4). I use OS 11 by the way and presently have reversed back to VeraCrypt 1.24 as I need the encrypted/decrypt files almost on a daily basis. I found...

OS 10.15.7, Mail Version 13.4 (3608.120.23.2.7) That is it, it crashes. There seems to be no pattern to it. And I get the following message: Exception Name: NSInvalidArgumentException Description: *** -[NSProgress resignCurrent]: NSProgress was not the current progress on this thread...

I am importing my mail accounts by hand as I want to have an absolute clean install. I found the mail boxes etc but can not find where mail has stored the information of my ISP accounts. Meaning everything that normally shows up here: I have imported the keychain files and the work fine...
