Macbook Pro 15in 2019 SSD MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina Trying to install windows, bootcamp assistant 75% complete in "Partitioning Disk..." phase for 3 hours or so now. It isn't hung (no beach ball) and isn't complaining. I can operate the system and I can look at "About" in the bootcamp assistant...

I've had a problem with a specific type of flash drive in the past that did something such as connect/disconnect rapidly and seems to have led to a situation where that brand of USB stick is ignored now by MacOS Sierra (they probably all identify themselves to the system with the same name for...

I have a QNAP NAS and would like to be able to somehow 'bookmark' the different users that I can connect to it as. It is connected to my network via AFP. For example: click a bookmark and connect to it as 'Admin' click a bookmark and connect to it as 'Zimzim' What is there that I can use that...

I've just updated from Yosemite to Sierra by means of a clean install. Now I have two hard drives, Sierra (new) and Yosemite (old). I don't want to use migration assistant as the whole idea of the clean install was to leave behind all the accumulated crap from several OS upgrades. However...

I often have documents open at smaller sizes that the full screen area. When I open many documents in an application I'd like them all to open at the full screen size. Does anyone know if there's a way to maximise all open document windows in this way? I know about tile and cascade - that's...

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched and searched but couldn't find anything similar. I can't believe it's unique though, perhaps I'm not using the most obvious search terms. The computer that I sync my iphone to was stolen. My new one won't let me sync to it as it...

Reference > Mac Mini A1176 Following a hard drive failure, i put a new hard drive into my mac mini using one of the online guides. It seemed to go very well and I'm good at following such things and tech savvy. The drive was a working one from another mac mini (which was replaced to increase...

Hello I have a Mac Pro (Early 2008) Model IDMA970LL and I'd like to know if it has wifi built in. Sounds stupid I'm sure but I'm just not sure how to tell. I'm using MacOS 10.7.3 and if i start the airport utility it doesn't say anything other than I've already got an ethernet connection...

I've just booted up my old G5 Mac Pro and everything seems to be fine except the mouse cursor is just an "outline" ... a white "stroke" (if you're into photoshop you'll know what I mean). I'm not running any special software that would do such a thing, and I rebooted using the OSX Leopard...

I cloned a drive with Super Duper, but I'm not having a few issues with it. The original drive was 320GB and the new one 1TB. The new drive works fine but some fonts aren't recognised by Adobe Indesign as being active, and some programs are grumbling that path information to certain folders that...

I've been trying to install leopard on a partition on my unibody macbook pro. When I insert the Leopard DVD (official!) it prompts to reboot. I allow it to reboot but the DVD hangs on trying to load. I've tested the DVD in Disk Utility and it passes. I've also tried booting off it using target...

For some reason using two magic mice in the same house, the mice will connect with any computer configured to use magic mice. So you switch one on and suddenly you're controlling someone elses computer. is there no control over this?!

PDF files in safari have recently started asking (by presenting an open dialogue window) which acrobat application to view PDF files with becuase if can't find one. Anyone know how to fix this permanently, it happens after every time safari is started and a PDF is called.

Help! iMac 24 inch, Leopard, get's stuck on the apple screen during startup. The spinning "pre-loader" simply freezes. Here's an odd thing ... the same thing happens if I try to boot from a CD (applecare tech tool pro disk and various other utility disks I have). Here are some things I've...

Does anyone know of a way to create something like this: http://www.postini.com/webdocs/training/en/email_admin/email_admin.html I could create something from scratch but it has the feel of something that must have been done already dozens of times. Whoever put this together used a windows...

When playing Raven Shield and also Second Life, I get frequent (within 5 minutes to sometimes half an hour) hard crashes that start with the top half of the screen going dark (like a visor dropping down!). This is usually accompanied with some sort of loop going round and round in the audio...

My Mac Pro manual says that the hard drives "must meets these specifications" - SATA 3GB/s (commonly called SATA II i believe). There's no mention of compatibility with SATA I - anyone know anything about that?

I'm trying to weight up the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT for a new MacPro. Screen rotation is important to me because I have 2 x 21" screens, one in landscape and one in portrait. I know the ATI card has VersaVision for screen rotation, but what about the NVIDIA GeForce...

A piece of equipment appears on my network (in the router control panel) with a distinct MAC address and IP. I don't recognise it though? Does switches show up in the output - I've not seen this before on the readouts of my other routers. It doesn't have a hostname. How can I positively ID it so...

I want to arm myself with some software that will recover me from any HD troubles should they arise. Any suggestions on the best software for this. I was looking at TechTool, but it has luke warm reviews in some places.
