    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

    Energy?

    Several times a day, I get the attached 'banner' atop either Facebook or Yahoo finance. Never have had this before, but started showing up a month or two ago. The only thing that has changed, to my knowledge, is a new battery that Apple installed. (2015 MBP) I have 16 Gigs of RAM and usually...

    Protection help

    My beloved MBP has to go back to Apple tomorrow for, probably, a new battery. Bottom panel is swollen on both sides. Problem is, however, I have sensitive data in my Dropbox folder. I cannot just copy & delete the folder as I use most of the data also on my iPhone (which will be my only...

    Shrink software

    Curious if anyone has come across software or a way to shrink a page or screen just the opposite of Control + 2 fingers up? I do a lot go genealogy work and often a cannot take a screen shot of a page because it is larger than my 15" MBP van handle. (OH how I miss my 17" MBP!) I can squeeze in...

    Clipboard

    Is there a clipboard folder for a multiple clips app. I use Kopypasta. What I want to do is open a recent Time Machine backup and resurrect an item from Kopypasta's clipboard that I lost. I have searched all possible combos on my current HD, and haven't found where they may be stored. Ideas?
