| How to change the login screen background? Posted: 25 Dec 2018 10:37 AM PST Since one of the last updates the starting login screen has the desert as background image, instead of the wallpaper I use normally (but if i close the lid for a while and I have to enter my password again, it's the BG image I have set myself!) and I really want to change it. Does anyone know how to do that? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2018 11:51 PM PST I gave my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 to a person who does my repairs and everything. I got my Disk Drive removed and added an SSD instead. He said he will do all the installations, however he was out of town and told his colleague. So whenever I open the Mac, it shows me two drives [HDD and SSD] and I have to select one of these. The HDD has very slow loading time. Whereas the SSD loads faster. I wanted my macbook to run my apps and system directly from my SSD, and the HDD will load all other files like an external storage or something. However, I think there are System files in HDD and SSD both. Is there any possible way out of this? The person has the shop shut for a long time due to Holidays [link] [comments]  |
| [Request] Safari Automation Workflow Posted: 25 Dec 2018 11:15 PM PST Hi I'm trying to extract one line of text from a number of webpages. The way I'm doing it manually is to input a certain ID to access the page, copy that line, exit the page, and then enter another ID to access another page, copy the required text and exit and so on. Is there any way I can automate this with a workflow or specific apps? For the extracted texts (which are names), I'll also have to generate an initial from the starting characters of the first name while preserving the full last name. I reckon TextSoap should be a good tool for this. Have you had experience with the app? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Mojave Issus on clean install on brand new SSD Posted: 25 Dec 2018 08:54 AM PST So for Christmas I decided to fix my wife's MBP from 2015/2016. (The hard drive was faulty) I ordered an OWC 250gb SSD and put it in and had a copy of the latest Mojave on a new USB. This is a brand new SSD which means I had to do a clean install. I formatted the USB like I was supposed to from reading a guide online, and the install went smooth. Later on in the night after visiting family we decided to use it and almost out of nowhere the mouse and the entire system is laggy. We're using the built in trackpad and even this morning it's extremely laggy. It lags for minutes then it's smooth for a few seconds then goes back to laggy. I'm reinstalling it now without formatting it to see if maybe that will fix it before I format it again. I'm thinking of trying to download High Sierra and see if it's smoother. I've seen a lot of threads about this issue but it was from people who were upgrading to Mojave, not clean installing on a brand new SSD. I'm a Windows guy so my troubleshooting is at a loss when it comes to Mac issues. Anyone have any advice? Edit: also just for extra information, during the initial install it didn't lag at all. Now even at the log in screen it's laggy and even when I went to disk utility from cmd + R it was lagging then too. That seems odd. The rest of her hardware is fine. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is it so hard (virtually impossible) to disable mouse acceleration in MacOS? Posted: 25 Dec 2018 04:34 AM PST Why? Seriously... all the solutions I can find over the net either don't work at all (they just apply negative acceleration, which is NOT disabling mouse acceleration) or they do disable it, but lock you on a single tracking speed/sensitivity (a very high one at that which makes it useless). This is tilting me off as I game a lot, thus using a Windows PC with a high quality mouse and I'm used to my mouse movements always moving the cursor the exact same amount of pixels on screen. I would PLEASE like to have the same ability on a Mac I use at work. I wonder how hard it is to either get rid of this utterly pointless function or at least allow users a choice putting a single check-mark in the mouse options... (seems like the working solutions for older version of MacOS were literally 30 or so lines of code, so why, oh why Apple won't you put that setting in there?). [link] [comments]  |
| How to change Recents folder to show recently downloaded (but unopened) files? Posted: 25 Dec 2018 09:09 AM PST Back in Sierra, you were able to open up recent files you downloaded in the Recents or All folder. Since High Sierra, that isn't the case. Its "Recents" folder only acknowledges files that have been opened on "approved" Mac apps. I use a lot of apps that lack the Apple Developer key (GIMP for example), so this is a problem. (I also use files that have multiple ways of opening them, and while I want to keep the default way, I want to open them differently for the circumstances involved). I figure that has to be some Raw Query that can bring back that effect. Any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2018 02:54 AM PST This morning after a full restart of my MBP 2015 I got a prompt about how the Whatsapp desktop program (restarted automatically) was not signed - I did not let it start and I reinstalled but that sounds very suspicious. The Whatsapp actual programs are actually kind of weird (the version from whatsapp.com is different but newer than the one in the App store) but at least both of them seem to be properly signed?!
