    Method to remove the menu bar background?

    I found this on a macOS concept video a while back, and would love to see if there could possibly be a way to remove the background on the menu bar, as it shows in this photo. Would look really nice...

    Mojave - Now this hurts - Apple removes Jabber from Messages

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 03:14 PM PDT

    I hate using web based Google chat but we use Google chat for internal organization messages. I was very happy using Messages with a Jabber account - it worked perfectly.

    After I upgraded to Mojave I was bamboozled why I couldn't get my Jabber contacts to show until I realized Jabber was completely removed. No more Accounts under Messages > Preferences.

    Wish I thought of checking earlier - I might not have upgraded.

    Anyways anyone else in this situation I've switched to Adium (yes, that classic) which is working fine. Maybe it won't be so bad.

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 09:23 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I updated my MacBook Pro to MacOS Mojave and AppStore doesn't work anymore. When I try to download something, I see the error message "Your purchase couldn't be completed. Cancelled." Sign out button doesn't do anything and view my account button gives Couldn't connect to AppStore error.

    Anyone who knows a solution or experiencing similar issues?

    Drop-down menu in Safari keeps re-appearing after searches

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 10:03 PM PDT

    I set DuckDuckGo as my default search engine in Safari on MacOS, but each time I enter a search in the URL bar, the "suggestions" drop down menu pops back down after the search has already loaded. Is there a fix for this?

    Unusual booting up with MacOS Mojave?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:48 AM PDT

    When I boot up my MacBook Pro 15" 2015 it first shows my users and when I log in than it will show the booting up Apple logo. It 'blinks; one time and than I'm on my desktop.

    Am I the only one with this " bug"? Because it wasn't happening in MacOS High Sierra. Thanks.

    On reboot or shutdown, my mac resets to sometime in the previous day

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:45 AM PDT

    So, this is highly frustrating and actually causing me to loose data.

    I have an iMac (18,3) running macOS Mojave, build 18A391.

    Whenever I reboot or shutdown, my user profile is resetting all files/content/settings to some-point in the last 24 hours. This is causing me to loose work and complete trust in the machine. I don't have "restore windows" checked, I don't use time machine and any time I do reboot/shutdown the process takes the same amount of time as usual and presents no issue until I reach the desktop, in which instead of being presented with a fresh desktop, I'm presented with one that looks like I've just resumed from sleep - but not the state in which I shut my machine down in, but instead a random point in which I was working at in the last 24 hours.

    I wouldn't mind so much, but this is actually losing files and preferences. I'm going to do a fresh re-install this morning of Mojave, but I was mildly concerned as I also couldn't find anyone else having this issue.

    Curious problem with streaming services, MacOS Mojave and my bluetooth earphones

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 01:21 AM PDT

    [Please move/copy/share my post to whichever other relevant SubReddit if needed]

    Dear all,

    Since the MacOS Mojave update, my mac is behaving quite weirdly.

    During work, I usually listen to music through Spotify and watch YouTube videos during my breaks. In order to not disturb my colleagues, I have a Bluetooth Earphone (RHA MA750 Wireless) to listen to music. Until the MacOS Mojave Update, everything was fine and I could listen to music as well as working online at the same time. My normal online bandwidth is around 20Mbps DL, 7Mbps UL and a ping between 80ms and 90ms (so it's okay). The ISP is Deutsche Telekom Business.

    Though since the update, as soon as my Bluetooth earphones are connected and that I listen to a streaming service like YouTube or Spotify, my DL rate drops at 0.2 Mbps, my UL rate drops to almost non-existent and my ping explodes at 900ms.

    My questions here are:

    - Does anyone has the same problem?

    - Is my mac infected by a malware that redirect the listened stream?

    - Does my bluetooth earphones stream on its own? (I can't believe I am writing that; that would worth landing on the programming humor Subreddit)

    Thanks in advance!

    [Update] I just tested another Bluetooth headset: same problem as with the RHA MA750.

    What happened to iMessage?

    Posted: 04 Oct 2018 12:13 AM PDT

    So, I was looking around my Macbook today and I noticed my iMessage app is totally gone. Could this be because I haven't updated yet?

    Mojave on Unsupported Device; Longer Battery Life??

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 04:08 PM PDT

    So I used dosdude's tool to upgrade my Late 2009 13" MBP to Mojave (for the dark mode mostly lol) and it seems like I'm getting about 30min to 1 hour more out of my battery!

    Anyone else experiencing more life out of their battery since updating to Mojave?

    Has anyone noticed lower volume in Mac OS Mojave?

    Has anyone noticed lower volume in Mac OS Mojave?

    After I updated my MacBook Pro mid-2015 to macOS Mojave I noticed that my speakers were lower than the normal, even though I maximize the volume. Has anyone noticed the same problem?

    Kernel_task high CPU usage

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 10:18 AM PDT

    I've upgraded to Mojave and it was working good for couple days, till the performance of my computer becomes super laggy and it's impossible to work with it, the installed apps are so slow, when i check the activity monitor it said sometimes the kernel_task is using high load while i just turned on the computer and the system is idle,

    Note that my battery cycles reaches 1050 and i got warning about the condition (Replace Now)

    I read on internet that when the battery cycles reaches 1000 the MacOs the system reduces CPU performance.

    Did anyone has an input about it ?

    Mojave update: AppStore in Chinese language

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 07:41 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Background: I buyed my macBook last month through the AppStore in China (I live in China). Everything was fine, and the AppStore was in English. Yesterday I installed Mojave, and suddenly the AppStore switched to Chinese! Does anyone knows how to solve this issue? (I tried to solve this in the language settings, in iTunes... nothing to do)

    Mojave update won't download, multiple restarts and no change. What do?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 06:38 AM PDT

    The download looks like this for a few minutes and then disappears, giving an error message in the App store. Any ideas how to go about getting it to work? (2015 12 in MacBook)

    Can't sync to o365 from Mojave

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 02:45 PM PDT

    My desktop iMac has these weird gremlins, one of which is my Exchange/o365 account won't work. I noticed some new contacts I added on my phone weren't syncing, so I deleted the Exchange account in System Prefs - Internet Accounts, and now when I try to add it, I authenticate just fine (we use duo for 2 factor, which works, so I know it's not an auth issue) and then when my contacts start to sync, the account disappears completely. Over and over. And I even looked at my MBP and it shows up there, then disappears at the same time.

    I tried doing CMD-R at boot, and doing Reinstall OS, and it's exactly the same as it was, I just wasted 45 minutes.

    Installing Mojave on Mid 2011 iMac

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 05:58 PM PDT

    There's a program which bypasses the system requirements and lets you install Mojave on all devices.

    Has anyone tried it with the mid 2011 iMac? Noticed any heavy bugs?

    Mojave / FileVault Encryption

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 05:14 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I wanted to install Mojave today but decided to do a clean reinstall first. After reinstalling High Sierra, I went to then download/install Mojave. I must have accidentally clicked to use FileVault and now my Mac is doing the encryption process so I'm not able to install yet.

    It says time remaining: 13 Hours

    Is there any other way to stop this rather than starting the reformatting process over again? I'd rather not wait that long to use Mojave.

    Thanks!

    How to extract video from mkv?

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 05:02 PM PDT

    Am I missing any essential app for extracting workable video from MKV files? I.e. something I can either recut or cut to gifs?

    Currently I use AnyMP4 (free, App Store) to cut and convert to MP4, or Lossless Cut (free, GitHub) if I want to cut first, then convert. Both are terribly bad with the UIs, as the cutting interface is slow and quickly turns into a complete headache. I end up doing loose cuts and opening them with Quicktime so I can use its trim edit.

    The situation has been like this for years! Any MKV player is 10 times faster than any cutting interface in a mac video converter. Don't even get me started with Handbrake and its endless menus. I see all kinds of edited video (from tv shows or films) all the time on Youtube, so how do people do it on the mac? I do the miss the one-app-does-it-all appeal of Quicktime 7 + Perian, but even that is too slow (and macs have gotten way faster!).

    As a final note: I found out that using Gif Brewery's screen recording actually quickens the gif making process, since I can use the video player directly. But Quicktime has had screen recording for years. Is no one working on something new?

    I can't swipe left on my trackpad anymore to see my widgets page (calculator, weather..etc). I can't find the new function for this page, does anyone know?

    High Sierra installer

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:55 PM PDT

    Where can one easily get a copy of the High Sierra installer? I have a older MacBook Air I'm having trouble getting Mojave ok and want to get a USB bootable installer going but the Mac I have is running on Mojave so it keeps saying I can't download High Sierra so I'm stuck in a loop.

    The Air runs a fusion drive so separately anyone having luck getting fusion drives working with Mojave? I have 128GB onboard HD and a 128GB SD card.

    EDIT

    To add more to this I'm getting an error and install loop. The error is generic and says that there was an error installing and gives a (com.apple.DiskManagement error -69854). Can't seem to find anything about that specific error but see many posts about the root error message "com.apple.DiskManagement error"

    Safari iCloud Syncing

    Posted: 03 Oct 2018 12:03 PM PDT

    Hope this is a simple question but I haven't found a definitive answer: can Safari be configured to sync only certain things via iCloud? Specifically, I want to sync favorites, but not tabs because my iCloud acct is used on personal and work MBPs.
