| Spotlight can be incredibly garbage Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:55 AM PDT Let me preface, I adore macOS and everything about it. Lack of support from third party can be horrible but it's fantastically easy to download little applets that fix the issues with certain parts of the OS. Because there are a few holes that need some fixing. For example spotlight, why does it consider the installing package more relevant to my search than the actual application it installs (keep in mind I had downloaded Spotify a week ago and used it multiple times since) and then DaVinci Resolve doesn't even show up in spotlight instead the two add-on apps do, but the encompassing folder in 'applications' shows up, because why wouldn't it.

| CPU load unevenly distributed between cores Posted: 31 Aug 2019 08:20 AM PDT Hello everyone! I'm new to the Mac Operating System. Today I've noticed that whatever I'm doing the CPU load is not equally distributed between its cores. Is it normal? On my old Windows PC this wasn't a thing (that I noticed) so I'm concerned. Model: iMac 4k 21.5" 2019 i3 w/ 8GB with the latest Mojave update. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:52 PM PDT Hello! I have always wanted to start streaming, but I there's a problem with my OS. I use iMac 27' 2017. It runs High Sierra. 16 GB RAM. The game's "Hearthstone". I have tried tons of broadcasting software including Wirecast, Gameshow, OBS studio, etc, but I wouldn't get the result I wanted, as all I want is to capture a game window. In Wirecast my twitch output video freezes like there is 5-10 FPS. OBS studio doesn't support system and game sounds (although I solved the issue) and wouldn't capture game window. Capturing the entire screen is not what I'm looking for. I tried installing Windows 10 using Bootcamp, but I didn't like the OS, moreover speaker's sound became much worse in comparison with Mac OS. Overall in Bootcamp it runs smoothly. [link] [comments]  |
| [Catalina] [Bug] Text-to-Speech speaks the wrong text Posted: 31 Aug 2019 07:58 PM PDT There are 2 ways to have macOS read text. Under System Preferences / Accessibility / Speech I can choose a voice and enable "Speak Selected Text" whenever I press a hotkey. Or, I can select text, right-click and select "Speech > Start Speaking" and it will read it.
That about sums up my current frustrations. But this feature hasn't exactly worked the best in the past either:
To Apple's credit & my great appreciation, the new-as-of-iOS-13 Siri voices with "Neural TTS" are available on both platforms, including for use with Accessibility features. This comes as part of a welcome batch of new additions to Accessibility features, but with TTS specifically I think Apple's attention to detail has missed the mark. [link] [comments]  |
| Safari Logging Out of Websites Posted: 31 Aug 2019 12:41 PM PDT This has been a consistent issue for me, and I believe before the beta's hit. Safari, on Mac and iOS consistently sign me out of my websites regularly. Anyone else have this issue? Could it be how I have my settings configured? TIA [link] [comments]  |

| Music suddenly won't copy to iphone Posted: 31 Aug 2019 01:55 PM PDT Suddenly...without having changed ANY settings, when I try to manually copy songs over, I get a warning that the songs can't be copied because they can't be played on this iphone. I tried deleting and re-adding songs that were on the phone the day before and same warning. It's like the phone just won't accept any new songs. I'm doing nothing differently than i've been doing for years. there's plenty of space and the files are all fine on the desktop. as I said, even re-adding songs that were already playing on there doesn't work. HELP! [link] [comments]  |
| Is it posssible to set different UI/Text scaling on a multimonitor setup? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 03:18 PM PDT I was just issued a macbook by work and am hoping to use both its built in screen and a much larger external monitor. I'd like to use the monitor's native resolution, but will need text enlarged on the larger monitor to a higher degree than I would on the smaller screen. Is there a way to do this?

| [HOWTO] Different colors for different file extensions while doing ls -G? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 01:33 PM PDT How can I colorise the output of ls -G to color based on extension of the file. Like if its a pdf file then some other color and if its a different file then some other color? I have tried LSCOLOR but it doesn't work based on extensions. Then I tried coreutils gdircolors but that also doesn't seem to work. Can someone please help. I am using zsh, oh-my-zsh, iterm2 and My OS is Mojave. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 06:37 PM PDT I am currently on MacOS Catalina beta 6 and every time I try to update to beta 7 it freezes, I also tried using time machine so I could downgrade to Mojave but it also freezes. Is there a fix to this or a work around? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 10:55 AM PDT CRASHED: My work MacBook Air crashed, and upon restart, the boot sequence wouldn't finish. FSCK reported an error that seemed to indicate SSD was corrupted. Couldn't boot to recovery partition. Tried to run disk util from a USB installer. It couldn't see the drive. Am I hosed? Is this a fatal error? I think everything is backed up. Before giving it to IT I'm wondering if there is some miracle by which it would magically boot up? I'm not willing to take Herculean efforts to recover the drive. But if there's any hope, should I try a few other things before I give it to IT. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I change icons in the Dock with something custom? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 10:43 AM PDT Hey guys I'm wondering if I can change my icons in the Dock, even Finder. I know about the cmd+I copy/paste but the icons reset for first party apps. And I'm not comfortable with turning off GateKeeper. I'm looking for a solution, any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Edit: I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6 [link] [comments]  |
| [Possible Solution] Album's Artwork missing on Catalina Music App Posted: 31 Aug 2019 03:48 AM PDT Itunes usually store all library files at 'User/Music/iTunes' path. So after Catalina, Apple had decided to transfer main directory to 'User/Music/Itunes/Itunes Media'. There you can find new folders like 'Automatically Add to Music'; 'Automatically Add to TV'. I used to store my Itunes mp3 files on an external hard drive. So what I did was move Itunes Media directory to my external HD and delete file 'Music Library' at User/Music/Music (yes, its correct). After reopen Music app none of my albums where there. At this moment I did change default directory in Music app settings, and point to that previous folder I had moved to my external HD. So the new path was '/Volumes/Music/iTunes Media' – After that I did move all my artists directores from older Itunes folder to '/Volumes/Music/Itunes Media/Automatically Add to Music'. I had to move four or five artists folders/directors per process, creating a queu and moving slowly possible, if you try to move tons of .mp3 at once Music app will add then but reembed doesn't work as spected and wouldn't process your files artwork. At least thats what happens to me. I've more than 13.000 album After that Music app had start to add everything and move all files to '/Volumes/Music/Itunes Media/Music'. Sorry if I couldn't explain it better. Im not english native speaker. [link] [comments]  |
