    [Mojave 10.14.6 Update] Bluetooth devices stopped pairing

    Posted: 31 Jul 2019 02:15 AM PDT

    Anyone experiencing this issue after the update? Especially someone who's using Logitech products??

    --

    I've been using previous version of macOS 10.14.5 for more than a month, and it's been fine with these 3rd party bluetooth mouse/keyboard for 3 years, almost everyday on the same machine. Now, sometime after the update to the version 10.14.6, it stopped connecting/pairing. Probably it's immediately after the OS update, or the update of Logitech's software which was asking for update before OS updates, but I don't remember (damn).

    All sorts of resets didn't work: Bluetooth module, Bluetooth connected device, VRAM, and I even uninstalled the application for mouse (Logitech Options, which I will mention later), and it still won't change a thing even after complete reboots.

    Mouse (Logitech) shows up on the device list to be paired, but the keyboard (not Logitech) won't even show up. Then that mouse won't be connected like this: https://imgur.com/tSH7wPy. It just flickers in between "Connected" and "Not Connected", but ultimately it just gives up pairing. And even turning on/off the Bluetooth doesn't seem to work properly. (Though AirDrop works, so I suppose Bluetooth module itself is working properly?)

    --

    This issue in the official discussion thread had the exact same situation and except it's with Logitech keyboard, which uses the same software called Logitech Options (current version 7.14.77 does say it supports "Mac OS X 10.14.x"). Like I said, that thing asked for updating right before the OS update, but I did it after the OS update is finished. Dumb thing is that I don't remember if I could use those devices right after the OS update.. Anyhow, I ditched the software with the official uninstaller, but it didn't change a thing. Neither reinstallation, except it now and somehow even mouse won't show up.

    Here's specs:

    • Machine: 13-in MBP late 2015
    • Mouse: Logitech MX Master (probably 1st gen; current one supports macOS 10.5 and later)
    • PFU HHKB Professional BT (macOS 10.10 and later)

    --

    I've sent bug report to Apple but I figured that I'm in rare case as It's already been a week since the update became available and I could find only one guy in Apple forum reporting this. Probably it has nothing to do with this version of OS, or this is the bug that Logitech's app is causing, but I doubt it. Any idea anyone??

    I just did fresh install everything after official repair this spring, but I suppose I have to do it again..

    safari running hot warning box

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 12:39 PM PDT

    When I watch full screen videos from twitch and facebook I get a warning box that says safari is making my MacBook hot. This doesn't happen when I watch youtube videos on full screen in fact my MacBook cools down.

    Does twitch and facebook use a different video player than what youtube uses?

    Downgrading from Catalina and using Copy Carbon Cloner?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2019 12:46 AM PDT

    I've read a lot of articles on how to downgrade from Catalina to Mojave but I'm still a little confused. I downloaded the beta when it was first released without knowing my school's exam software wouldn't work with it. I made a mistake and didn't back up my MBP before upgrading to Catalina.

    So I was thinking of using Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer all my files to an external drive. Then erase the main drive and reinstall Mojave on it. But would CCC work from a clone of Catalina to Mojave? Does it only take files and stuff and not copy the OS?

    What is the properly way to install fonts?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 09:35 PM PDT

    1, When I install some ttf fonts that work in Windows, Font Book says some errors like: duplicated fonts (though those are different fonts), cmap errors (not remember exactly) But when I convert the same fonts from ttf to dfont they are installed without any error.

    So, macOS prefers dfont to ttf?

    2, I found fontforge in Linux that can convert ttf fonts to dfont, but still not try if it works? Can someone confirm it?

    3, If I convert fonts in the question 1 to otf using fontforge, will macOS accept it without throwing errors?

    // proper way, sorry for the typo in the title.

    Catalina - Mail Crash / Reminder Syncing

    Catalina - Mail Crash / Reminder Syncing

    Hi!

    I've overtly communicated this to Apple, but I wanted to see if others were experiencing Mail crashes (Picture attached) - it'll open for a few seconds then close down regardless of restarting / rebooting etc.

    Also I would assume that Reminders with my iPhone wouldn't sync because the codes are set different with Catalina?

    Just wanted to see how others are experiencing.

    Thanks!

    Weird dashed lines near scroll bar?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 11:24 PM PDT

    Weird dashed lines near scroll bar?

    I got these dashed lines right next to the sidebar's scroll bar in some Apps whenever I scroll.

    They disappear after I close and re-open app window.

    So far I found them appear in Finder's sidebar scrolling, Reminder App and Notes App.

    Is this supposed to be some kind of indicator or just a graphic glitch?

    I'm running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 on 2015 MacBook Pro

    How to Disable a Prompt When Opening Images

    Is there a way in OS Mojave, to disable this prompt when opening images in preview. I know dragging and dropping into the preview icon will bypass the prompt. As well as right click, and then selecting open in preview.

    What firewall do you use?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 04:53 PM PDT

    I am relatively new to Mac OS and wondering what firewall is commonly used? Or may be there is no need for one and the macOS native firewall is enough? Any advise is helpful.

    If there is already a thread on this, appreciate any redirection.

    Question: Set folder in Photos to a new folder with pictures in them without importing them

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 10:20 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I am using Nextcloud as my cloud solution but I want to use the photos app on my MacBook. I have it setup so that everything that is in Nextcloud is also on my MacBook. My question is it possible to set a folder in photos so it searches through the folder and imports all pictures without copying them to a new location.

    I don't want to copy the entire library of pictures to a new folder. I would rather have photos access my Nextcloud folder and use all of my pictures in there.

    Does anyone have done that before?

    Hi there, can we talk apple health app for macOS?

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 04:04 PM PDT

    I bought an Imac some 4 months ago. I finally started logging stuff on my phone. I try to be a datanerd.

    I need to be able to have health or apple health directly on my Mac. I know the official forums says "no" but I figured someone in here must know how to use.. an image? some kind of virtual emulator? or a web browser extension to make it seem like I am using an iPhone.

    It has to be legit and spyware free, and I imagine since its a fix, it should be free. I don't mind simple ads in the sidebar or whatever.

    I would greatly appreciate your help.

    oh and exporting to xml doesn't help me in the slightest. I do not know how to use Taskr or other automation software.

    Problem: Screen flickering in multiple applications

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 10:59 AM PDT

    I recently got a new MacbookPro 15 inch 2019. It has the Radeon 555X and the notebook itself works really well. However I recently discovered several screen flickering cases that I can always reproduce. For example in VSCode when I switch a file tab very fast, the screen always flickers (sometimes even yellow Lol). I also had this behavior in Chrome but it never happened again and I would not know how to reproduce it. In many cases people just write "disable hardware acc. in all the apps where it happens". I know that this could (or will) help. But guys, is this just a bunch of software bugs or flaws in the UI framework that is used on top of macOS? Is there an open topic (also on apple's side) for such a thing?

    Can I somehow test if it is a hardware issue? I still have warranty right now so I could get a new one if the GPU has an issue. Can I verify if its 100% fine?

    Thank you guys!

    macOS 10.14.6 after wakeup IPV6 is not working until wifi is turned off and on manually

    Posted: 30 Jul 2019 06:25 AM PDT

    As the title says, after latest upgrade my Macbook pro retina 13, 2015, doesn't automatically use IPv6 after wake-up.

    The Router is a TP-Link Archer C7 running as access point only, and connected to Deutsche Telekom Speedport router. It used to work perfectly before.

    The deutsche telekom router changes addresses every night based on the security policy set and gives a new /64 from /56 or get a new /56 not sure entirely. It also changes IPv4 every night.

    Now in the morning, I connect only to IPv4 google, youtube or facebook until I disconnect and reconnect again, presumably getting new IP and the old IP route is discarded. I check this using IPVFoo chrome extension and as soon as reconnect the youtube video stream changes to IPv6.
