    Adblocker, which one?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 12:17 AM PDT

    I'd like to stop using Chrome and move to Safari, however it looks like uBlock origin doesn't work anymore.

    What do you use? Considering these kind of extensions have access to sensitive data I would like some feedback from you guys before installing something.

    Music widget for macOS Catalina

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 08:04 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I used app Lyrical on macOS Mojave and it was good, but it doesn't work with Music app in macOS Catalina and developer said that he was not able to get Lyrical work with Music app in macOS Catalina.

    So as backup plan, I'm finding alternative. It should include:

    • dark mode
    • Notification Centre widget with option to show lyrics directly in widget (this feature I loved on Lyrical) and with base controls like skip or pause music
    • Apple Music support
    • notifications when new song is played

    Thanks!

    MacBook won't sleep automatically?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 02:49 AM PDT

    As the title says, my MacBook Pro won't automatically go to sleep anymore. Used to be fine a few weeks ago, but lately I have to manually put it to sleep which I sometimes forget. As far as I'm aware, the energy saver settings are all good setting the computer to sleep after an hour of inactivity. Any ideas?

    MacOS Catalina beta system update loop, can't boot into OS anymore

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 02:30 AM PDT

    I have been using the Catalina beta for a while and when coming back to my laptop this morning that I had left on over night I realized it was very hot. Even though I had closed the lid it had started an update and the screen that I was greeted by said there was not enough room to finish installing the os update.

    I figured I'd just reboot but it keeps booting into wanting to install the update and saying there is not enough space. If I startup by selecting which os I want to boot into I can choose the mac os but it won't boot. It shows the apple logo then turns off the laptop again. I can now only boot into my bootcamp partition.

    How can I cleanup space on my macos partition to get this install to go through like this?

    Handwriting is hard in Preview markup (Mojave)

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 08:29 PM PDT

    Does anyone else find it difficult to write using the draw or sketch tools in Preview? The pen keeps grabbing letters or strokes you've already drawn rather than letting you keep writing. I'd much prefer you had to switch tools to select drawn objects.

    PLEASE HELP

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 01:25 AM PDT

    So I've blocked this nasty person in my iPhone but still seem to be receiving messages through my Mac. NOTE IVE TRIED BLOCKING THIS PERSON AS A NON CONTACT AND ALSO CREATED THEM AS A CONTACT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE

    Things I've tried but hasn't worked:

    Messages>preferences>iMessage>block>press [+] to add> scroll through contacts and select. But when selecting, it would not apply to my block list. My whole contact list would disappear so I would have to search for the contact again and start over.

    I even tried through FaceTime but it would not show an option anywhere .

    I also found while in the conversation, there's an option above called "buddies." It says "block person" but is grayed out.

    I have no idea what to do and I have searched on google for HOURS. Please help :(

    Is there anyway to get a transparent dock without a transparent menu bar?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 09:09 PM PDT

    I love the look of the dark menu bar but not really the dark dock especially when the Mojave wallpaper is on day. The colors kind of clash

    How can I tell if my MacBook Air has been used when I'm not there?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2019 12:21 AM PDT

    Hi! I live in shared accommodation for context.

    I have a MacBook air Mid-2013 mojave OS

    Anyways, so when I went out for something else I left my MacBook on - it normally goes to sleep in a minute or so but for some reason it was left on as a YouTube video was playing in the background and so it didn't go to sleep. I was gone for about 20 minutes and i'm just a little paranoid that someone in my flat might've used my macbook when i'm not there. How can I see/where can i see if my macbook has been used

    Are there any other reasons not to upgrade to Catalina besides the 32-bit compatibility?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 11:24 PM PDT

    I see a lot of people that are not really excited about the new OS version and mainly because of the fact that 32-bit software is no longer supported.

    I'm just curious if there are any other reasons as to why it wouldn't be a good idea to upgrade?

    I already checked and all the apps and software installed on my iMac are 64-bit.

    I hid my dock, need to undo it.

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:46 PM PDT

    I hid my dock because I never use it.

    Until I minimized an app and couldn't find it in the dock.

    The command I ran was "defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 1000; killall Dock"

    any idea how i can undo this?

    How to merge an old iPhoto library with a current Photos library?

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 03:36 PM PDT

    I've got my old iPhoto library on an external drove, and I'd really like to find a way to merge it with my current Photos library.

    What's the safest way to do this while keeping the library on an external drive? (The ssd on my MBP isn't large enough to accommodate the iPhoto library, so it's on an external).

    I'm running 10.11.6, and I don't want to wipe my current Photos library, but I wonder if I need to export that and put it into the "new" old iPhoto import.

    Screenshotting Software (alternative to Jing)

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 08:37 AM PDT

    While I don't plan to go Catalina beta, I do keep testing the installer to see what stuff is going to die. I see currently on the chopping block for me are Textmate (easily replaced) and Jing. I've used Jing for its entire life and prefer it for its simple yet robust screenshotting software. The folks at Techsmith are NOT going to update it, suggesting folks use SnagIt instead... but that is needlessly complicated and resource-intensive. I'm looking for a good screenshot software... it doesn't need to do video.

    What are you using for screenshots? What I love about Jing are; opens with crosshairs and immediately I can do a drag window to capture a screenshot, but it intuits windows and dialog boxes so if I mouse over the title bar it will just grab that whole box instead of making me drag-select. Once I've completed the first grab, it goes into a lightweight editor where I can highlight, draw boxes, add arrows or notes to the shot and only after that do I start to get questions about saving. I don't need to create a file, take it to an editor and mock it up further. I'd like something that is as simple, lightweight and fluid.

    Any free software (or at least reasonably priced) suggestions?

    Why is PDF in preview so blurry?

    Why is PDF in preview so blurry?

    https://i.redd.it/jhh2mrkmtcp31.png

    It's the exact same file. On the left is Preview, and on the right is Chrome.

    Any fix to this? I Really don't want to use Chrome as my default pdf viewer. Feels weird.

    Do i need a clean installation? #Catalina

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:04 AM PDT

    Hi All,

    As all we know OS Catalina is coming soon and i was wondering if it is necessary a clean installation of it.I did a clean one from high sierra to mojave as the computer was new and there were not pretty much data to save.

    I am a one year and half Mac user and sometimes it hard to let go away bad habits of Win. So i would be glad to know if it is just a waste time habit or no

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 06:17 AM PDT

    Internet too slow on MacBook Air (E 2015) but working on other devices what could be the issue?

    I have tried using two TP link routers (C6 & C2) both are new but internet is so slow even google searches are taking forever to load. Mi router (Mi 3C 2.4Ghz) which I was using before works perfectly fine. I have tried using both 2.4 and 5 Ghz on the TP link routers its still not working the router is around 4 meters away even then it is not working. How do I fix this issue?

    TP Link C6

    Do we give too much access to Safari Extensions

    Posted: 28 Sep 2019 05:23 AM PDT

    I just downloaded and installed the updated Pocket extension for Safari.

    Viewing it, and the Safari extensions for 1Password, Better (protection from trackers and behavioral advertising), and Save to Pocket, I see that all except Better note:

    Webpage contents:
    Can read sensitive information from webpages, including passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards on…
    all webpages.

    I find that deeply troublesome. Do others or am I being paranoid? Is this just some disclaimer that Apple requires?
