    Toggle Between Dark Menu Bar and Dock and Dark Mode

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 06:30 PM PDT

    Hey all, I created an application to toggle between Mojave's Dark Mode and pre-Mojave's dark appearance. I prefer the old pre-Mojave dark appearance to Mojave's Dark Mode, I thought others would appreciate being able to toggle between the two.

    This application changes the Menu Bar, Dock, Spotlight Search, and Notification Center to dark, but keeps everything else light.

    As a bonus, if you disable System Integrity Protection, it also replaces the Dark Mode Trash icon with the Light Mode one. Enjoy and let me know if you run into any issues!

    You can make "dark mode" even darker by choosing the grey accent color. Enjoy!

    Why Chrome Need To Access My Photos ?

    Retina MBP fan noise after Mojave update? (13" Retina MBP Late 2012)

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 05:38 PM PDT

    So I'm sure everyone's familiar with the loud fans on MacBook Pro's. Before Mojave the fans would only come on if I was using a lot of CPU power (like on Photoshop/Illustrator or had a ton of apps open, etc) but now with Mojave it seems like I can have a tab or two open in Safari with reddit only, not even Youtube, and after a hour or so my laptop gets warm and the fans start blowing.. Any ideas? Is there a way prevent this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Apple Logo stuck behind all apps and even clean install didn't fix

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 03:24 PM PDT

    Apple Logo stuck behind all apps and even clean install didn't fix

    So I have this really weird problem. I used to run Mojave betas and the most recent one to come out, 10.14.1 beta 2, really made a mess and was causing my screen to flicker dramatically and totally randomly. So I quit the beta, and installed the regular macOS Mojave that everyone should have. But it rebooted upon updating and ever since then there has been a permanent apple logo stuck in my screen. I tried googling to see if any other people had this problem and I couldn't seem to find anything. As a desperate attempt to get rid of it, I factory reset and clean installed the public release of Mojave assuming that would get rid of it. But after doing the initial setup, it's still here and I'm at a complete loss. I don't know what to do at this point and it bothers me to no end. I have attached some photos to show you what I mean. You can see in a screen shot (first photo) that there is no apple logo there, so I don't know why its in my screen but the actual OS itself doesn't believe it's there.

    MBP 15 2018 : Mojave pushed me to downgrade

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 10:42 PM PDT

    so I bought the MacBook Pro 15 2018 [32GB] 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

    and with use of simple apps like watching a youtube video on safari , everything become noisy and warmer.

    ​

    Now I'm just an artist who use logic, photoshop and fcpx and I can't find a reason why to pay too much money and don't get a solution for all those problems.

    yea I'm apple fan but its feels like "Family isn't chosen"

    ​

    ​

    I want to go on Mojave but I don't want to harm my machine..

    any tips?

    Font in Mojave

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 12:27 PM PDT

    Has anybody else noticed that the font in Mojave seems to be a little blurry on things like settings and other OS apps? For example

    https://imgur.com/a/pEX6eqQ

    Im not sure if its just me and its the same as before and something else has made it seem strange or the fact that my iMac isn't one of the new super HD ones. It makes it seem like all the text is out of focus when reading text almost anywhere, browsing safari makes me feel like I need glasses (I don't).

    Anyone Else Really Miss Cover Flow In OSX Mojave?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 07:46 AM PDT

    The one thing that was taken out in Mojave was finder's cover flow and I'm really surprised no one is talking about it as I think it was a huge misstep for Apple. When browsing digital assets, side flicking through a folder with Cover Flow was the fastest way to visually find something. Thankfully, Path Finder still has cover flow, but I'm curious to see if other's really miss cover flow in finder or if there's a way to enable it again that I missed.

    The new "gallery view" is nice for certain things, but is no means a cover flow replacement and is a lot slower when trying to find something. You can enlarge the icons to max size in the icon view, but that's usually too small to see everything and you don't get the large preview like you could with CF.

    RANT: Mojave blew up on me yesterday (downgrade to High Sierra woes)

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 08:29 AM PDT

    I upgraded to Mojave on my 2013 MacBook Air, the day it was released. The upgrade went smoothly and everything seemed fine for the past week, until yesterday.

    Yesterday, Mojave just started freezing. Not just freezing but freezing right before I needed to project on an LCD projector to teach a class. (I'm not a teacher, it's just class I was offering at church- and to be clear a church where atheists are welcome, Unitarian Universalism but, I digress.)

    I thought maybe it was plugging in the mini display port (Thunderbolt) to VGA adapter that precipitated it. But, 3 or 4 reboots, an NVRAM reset, an SMC reset, and even booting into safe mode (all without reconnecting the dongle) and the freezing within a minute or two of boot up was still there.

    Luckily, I had brought an extra laptop with me. :-) Had to do the presentation on 7 year old Gateway laptop running Windows 7. :-(

    Later, when I got home...

    Booted to the Apple Hardware Test (or whatever they're calling it these days). The only issue it found is that my battery is degraded some. Didn't detect any other issues.

    Google searches presented the idea that maybe Spotlight was to blame. Booted into the recovery partition, mounted the SSD, and used the Terminal to blow away the .Spotlight-V100 folder on the hard drive. Booted back into Mojave and within 1 or 2 minutes, everything was locked up again. While I Googling for more answers, the screen went black with just the mouse pointer still functioning. I was seriously reminded of the instability of pre-NT Windows versions.

    Trying to think of what else may have precipitated this- I had let Itsycal update earlier in the day. Back to recovery, mounting, and then Terminal and deleted Itsycal from my Applications folder. Reboot, still freezing.

    Google searches about Mojave freezes aren't turning up much else.

    Earlier in the day, I had booted from a USB drive into an LXLE Linux live environment. Long story short, I'd been trying to build a USB drive to boot an old 2008 MacBook. The recipes I had been following were producing drives that still wouldn't boot the '08 MacBook but people had snapped cellphone pics of these drives booting their Macs, couldn't help but wonder if the drive would boot my 2013 Air. Of course it did. BUT that's all I did, boot to the live environment, see that it worked and then rebooted into Mojave. Could the mere act of booting a live Linux environment have messed up something in my EFI partition? I don't know or if it did, how to fix it.

    Now it was time to bite the bullet and wipe the drive and reinstall High Sierra.

    But, first another trip to the recovery partition to mount my drive and then use Terminal to copy the contents of my Downloads folder to an external drive. Everything else on the machine is either cloud sync'ed or can be reinstalled later. During the long copy process, the cp command started barfing up errors about files being missing. Back to the disk utility and WTF- my hard drive isn't even registering?! Could this be the source of all the trouble? Enough of my Downloads had backed up that the files that weren't didn't really matter to me.

    I booted to a USB keychain installer of High Sierra, wiped the drive, and installed. Everything went fine. No problems. Several minutes after getting logged in again and starting to set things up again, App Store suggested that I update to 10.13.6. Okay. As the update was progressing, it rebooted, the update failed and now the machine was caught in a loop. Reboot, update tries to complete, fails, and suggests rebooting.

    Fuck. Boot from the USB keychain drive and repeat the whole process but now Google for why the 10.13.6 update is failing. Still suspicious of the SSD at this point. Google searches are bringing up forum posts where people say they had to download the stand alone 10.13.6 combo updater. Ok. I'll try it. Same problem/failure as trying to update via the App Store. Now, I'm really worried that my SSD might be the culprit.

    Boot to the Recovery partition to see if I can just install High Sierra from there without wiping the drive and starting over. Wait, what's this? I can't reinstall High Sierra from the recovery partition because the SSD is being encrypted. Is this why the 10.13.6 update keeps failing?! Jibbers Crabst.

    Boot from the USB drive, wipe the drive, and fresh install High Sierra a 3rd time. Do some initial setup and then see that the drive is encrypting and finally call it a night. It's also nearly 1:00am and I have to be up for work at 6:00am. I shouldn't have stayed up this late troubleshooting this but, once I get focused on a thing, it's hard to let it go.

    Woke up this morning. Drive was finished encrypting. Brought my MBA to work and with great trepidation, started installing the 10.13.6 update while getting started working for the day. This time, the update went off without a hitch.

    The good news is, I'm back in High Sierra and everything seems to be working swimmingly.

    The bad news is, Mojave just died on me yesterday at a critical moment (right before projecting a presentation) and my SSD stopped working when copying from it using the Mojave recovery partition. Also, High Sierra and the 10.13.6 update were too brain dead to stop me from trying to perform the update while drive encryption was proceeding. This is the most scared I've ever been about quality control at Apple.

    Sorry for the long rant. I just needed to spew it all out somewhere where people might be interested.

    TL/DR: Mojave just up and died on me yesterday. High Sierra was massively brain dead about reinstalling & updating. Now, I'm worried about quality control at Apple.

    EDIT: Fixed a few misspelled words.

    Lag issues on MacBook Pro 13" 2018

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 11:48 AM PDT

    I recently just got a MacBook Pro 13" 2018 with the i5 and 8gb of ram. I am noticing a lot of lag when it comes to resizing windows and sometimes when swiping between desktops. I'm actually kind of disappointed that this is happening on a 1700 machine. I have a Dell XPS 13" with an 8th gen i7 and that has never happened on that machine. Is this a Mojave issue or is something up with this computer.

    iMac crashing mid Mojave update.

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 05:43 AM PDT

    So I downloaded and hit install on Mojave and after it was about halfway through, it said 'Mojave could not be installed on your Mac.' I hit continue and now it is stuck in a cycle of booting up and crashing.

    I get a screen which says that 'Your Mac was restarted because of a problem. Press any key to continue or do nothing and wait for a few seconds.'

    I am stuck on a constant loop of it automatically restarting, this screen showing up and it restarting again.

    Can someone help me out?

    Edit- I think I have a 2013 27 inch iMac. 8gb ram.

    Mojave / Back to my Mac / Remote file access

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 11:20 AM PDT

    Hello all, (mods feel free to delete if this has already been done to death). I've read up as much on the discontinuation of BTMM as I can but still not 100% sure of the facts before downloading Mojave.

    I live in a shared flat with 4 others, so there is usually someone in. I have an iMac and MBP (both new models and running High Sierra) and a large collection of external hard disks, too much to upload to the cloud. Occasionally working away from home, I will take my MBP and want to be able to access files from the iMac/hard disks - I'm okay with someone at my place turning the computer on and plugging externals in, but would rather have control over files etc. With Mojave taking away BTMM, is the only option for retrieving files from iMac to MBP screen sharing and then uploading to Dropbox or similar, or can files still be shared across the internet through Finder? OR is something like Chrome Remote Desktop a better option?

    Thanks!

    Dock will not hide in fullscreen mode

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 11:09 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    ​

    When I opened an app, such as Safari, into fullscreen mode the dock used to hide itself. It stopped doing that this morning.

    ​

    I know about the auto-hide option but that's not what I'm looking for, I just want the dock to be hidden when an app is in fullscreen mode. Anyone know how to fix this?

    ​

    Thanks!

    Mojave Mail splits screen when selected on fullscreen app

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 06:24 AM PDT

    This behavior started with Mojave and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable it.

    Here's what i mean:

    1. EDIT: Open Mail, but close all the windows
    2. Start with a fullscreen app (say Safari)
    3. Click Mail on the Dock
    4. The fullscreen app (Safari) splits screen with Mail

    Apart from Mail, every other app I try this on just opens the app on a different desktop. Anyone know any way to disable this?

    Still no way of turning off macbook screen while using external display ?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 05:00 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I very frequently use my macbook at my desk, connected to an external display, and everytime I turn it on, every time I wake it up, I have to press the function key that lowers the brightness for an agonising second until it turns the backlight off, not even turning the display itself off. Is there still no way of going around that ? Closing the lid is not an option as I use the internal speakers of the laptop, plus it blocks the way to the power button.

    Thanks in advance.

    Anyone know of an app that puts Homekit in the menu bar?

    It would be nice to have quick access in the menu bar to turn off lights and other things rather than going through the app every time.
