    Bitdefender 3.11 tries to access contacts. Why?

    It would appear that Bitdefender 3.11 from the Mac App Store tries to access your contacts. See the screenshot.

    Anyone know why?

    e.g. Slack, Outlook, Textual, etc. all forgot their passwords.

    Solution to Freezes While Playing Certain Videos in Mojave

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 12:20 AM PDT

    I have had this problem since the last beta of Mojave and was pulling my hair out of anger. The whole UI kept freezing for micro seconds as soon as I started videos on certain sites (including Reddit and Twitter) and on Tweetbot. There seems to be an easy solution.

    "Fix (workaround):

    *Boot into Recovery Mode on your Mac (command+R)

    *Open terminal and type in the command EXACTLY as written:

    nvram 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c:epid_provisioned=%01%00%00%00

    and then press RETURN"

    "MacOS installation could not be completed" on startup multiple times, now normal - what should I do or be worried about?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 10:33 PM PDT

    I haven't done anything unusual with my refurbished 2017 Macbook Pro with High Sierra lately. I ran a minor update earlier that mentioned Safari and security, and have declined updating to Mojave.

    About 30 minutes ago, I started it up and got a blank/grey screen, a giant error log, and the message mentioned in the title. I don't know enough about computers to make sense of anything in the log, and when I tried to save it, it said I didn't have permission to do that. I repeated much of the process several other times after restarting, then it randomly went to a nicer looking white dialog box with a logo/image and gave me the same message about installation, then started up normally on its own.

    If nothing else, I'll probably back up a lot more. If I'd had to reboot from backup, I would have lost a TON of downloads from two days ago.

    Is there a way to make TrueTone turns off when I run a media-player and then turn off when I close it?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 09:46 PM PDT

    Title. I mean that something that will make that automatically. (I can't turn it off all time because I really like it)

    Is there a way to check disk fragmentation stats?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 09:19 PM PDT

    Maybe via some command line tool or something? I have a Fusion drive, and while I realize that APFS is supposed to be "self-defragging," I'd like to see what my disk actually looks like (especially because I download lots of stuff).

    Recent bluetooth issue causing system stutter

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 08:57 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    Looking for some assistance, and hoping that someone has encountered this issue and found a solution. Two to three weeks ago my system (2017 Macbook Pro 15") began stuttering to the point that my work becomes downright impossible. This stutter comes in the form of audio cutting out or becoming choppy, the mouse cursor speed coming to a crawl, and choppy animations when moving windows around.

    My system lives in one of two forms, when at work: 1x external monitor connected via usb-c to displayport, magicmouse, and airpods. Then when at home: 2x external monitors connected via usb-c with the same magicmouse and airpods. The stutter exists in both forms.

    I've reset the Bluetooth module, SMC, NVRAM, Upgraded/Downgraded to High Sierra and back up to Mojave with no changes. I've monitored temps, CPU activity, and ram usage and haven't seen anything spikey during this lag.

    I've been holding out on the trip to the Apple store, as it seems that it would be a waste of time unless I can replicate at will.

    Has anyone had / solved anything similar?

    Catch-22: to upgrade my OS, I need to make changes to my payment information. To make changes to my payment information, I need to upgrade my OS

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 10:17 AM PDT

    Just to preface this, I'm completely new to the Mac OS.

    A friend of mine gave me an older MacBook Air (2013 version, I believe) with the Mountain Lion OS (10.8.5) running.

    So, to upgrade to Mojave I created an Apple ID on the website, went to the App Store, clicked on the new OS version, and then logged in.

    First, it tells me that this new ID hasn't been used yet and to review my account information. When I click review, it says:

    "Software Update Required

    To make changes to your payment information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest version of macOS."

    In essence, I'm in a Catch-22 situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    FIXED: Thanks to u/damo13579, I got the account working through iTunes.

    Weird grammar check errors in Mojave?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 01:07 PM PDT

    Hey guys, has anyone noticed in Mojave that the grammar check is... wrong? I was just typing the following reddit comment:

    Though their inconsistency between spaces and underscores irks me.

    and it wants me to change their to either there or they're.... both of which are incorrect. This isn't the only one I've seen but I can't remember any other specific examples. And I know it's grammar and not spelling because it doesn't underline 'their' until the end of the sentence.

    Anyone else?

    dark mode keeps coming on, can't turn it off

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 12:40 PM PDT

    I tried dark mode but I don't like it. The Sunrise app is a much better option I think. But, every night dark mode turns back on and I have to go into settings to turn it off. How can I turn it off for good?

    For those of us left behind in High Sierra, is there still a way to upgrade to Unicode 11?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 06:11 PM PDT

    Like many of us who still have functioning/upgraded Late-2011 MacBook Pro models, has anyone found a way to upgrade to Unicode 11 to get the new emojis? Nitpicky, but I use my MacBook at work, therefore I send and receive my texts via the MacOS messenger. Now that our phones and iPads support Unicode 11, is there a workaround (besides the Mojave patch) to upgrade to Unicode 11 so the new emoji's come through? Thanks!

    Playing Audio from TV connected to my MBP while my MBP's lid is closed

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 05:27 PM PDT

    I'm trying to stream video to a TV at work. I can select the audio output device to be the TV. This works well. However, when I close my Mac's lid, the video continues to play on the TV itself, or from my laptop's speakers if I tweak power saving settings. I can't have audio and video continue to play from the TV with my Mac's laptop lid closed.

    Is there any way around this?

    Can't resize windows in split view in macOS Mojave. How do I get that feature back?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 04:19 PM PDT

    The black bar in the middle of Split View used to be a handle to resize the two windows. This has worked for me in older versions of macOS. Now it's just a useless black bar and resizing the two windows has become impossible. How do I get this feature back?

    Looking for an email app (not web app) with specific features similar to gmail!

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 08:21 AM PDT

    Here are the features I rely on daily, in order of frequency that I'd like to find in a standalone email app for my Mac and iOS devices:

    1. labels/folders with the ability to customize the background and text colors on each (I have 150 labels currently so this is absolutely a must have!)
    2. schedule emails to send at a future date/time
    3. boomerang-like feature to return emails to my inbox and automatically mark them unread at specific time
    4. undo email send with configurable interval
    5. companion app available for iOS
    6. ability to quickly change the from field to another address I own
    7. read receipts on a per email basis
    8. keyboard shortcuts (preferably configurable)
    9. advanced message filtering (e.g., send matching emails to certain boxes or labels/folder)

    I've decided that my reliance on keeping a memory-draining tab open in my web browser needs to end and the time has come to untether myself from GMail. Also, I detest that they change their interface every so-often and this most recent iteration is particularly upsetting to see. So, I've done some research on mail apps, but it's difficult to determine whether they offer the specific features that I need to operate my personal and business emails the way I've become used to.

    My thanks goes out to anyone who can recommend a great mail app with all (or most) of these features and who's willing to share their input!

    Bluetooth Quality Issue since Mojave Update

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 10:18 AM PDT

    Hi Everyone,

    Since I have updated my MacBook Pro (2016) to Mojave I have a sound quality issue with my bluetooth connexion. I hear many crackles and there is no bass sound anymore. I have tried with several bluetooth devices and the result is the same. I came to the conclusion that the issue came from the bluetooth connexion of my MacBook Pro.

    I have reset the bluetooth hardware module as it is explained on this website but it did not change anything : http://osxdaily.com/2015/12/15/reset-bluetooth-hardware-module-mac-osx/

    Does someone have the same issue ?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Dark Mode UI Inconsistency

    Posted: 01 Nov 2018 06:13 AM PDT

    I've noticed a UI inconsistency when using dark mode that I've not been able to find any information on. Specifically, when setting the accent color to gray in dark mode, the window controls are sometimes colored, but only in some apps and only when connected to an external monitor (only 1080p tested).

    The image linked below shows a few examples. It seems that all native Mac windows show the gray buttons consistently, except the App Store. Also, when set to light mode all buttons are gray.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or if there's just something corrupt with my system. I would probably do a fresh install to resolve this.
