    TIL that the Magic Mouse 2 supports gestures that use more than two fingers, but Apple chooses not to expose any through the system by default

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:52 PM PDT

    On my MacBook Pro, I frequently use the three-finger tap on the trackpad to show link previews in Safari, and it bugged me that there was no equivalent way to do that from my Magic Mouse.

    It turns out the Magic Mouse's hardware does in fact support gestures that use more than two fingers, but Apple chooses not to include any in the system's default set of gestures. But you can therefore use third-party utilities like BetterTouchTool or jitouch to add support for three-finger gestures if you want them.

    So, using BTT, I can now do the three-finger tap from my mouse and don't have to go back to the trackpad just for that one feature!

    Help. I’m getting the error “Storefront Mismatch. You cannot make purchase in this store front.” Error when activating my free one year Apple TV+ Subscription.

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 06:53 PM PDT

    So I bought a new iPhone 11 Pro Max and I can't activate my free one year Apple TV Subscription. Doesn't show either on my Apple TV app on iOS or macOS but it shows when I use Safari that I am entitled to the one year free. It shows the error "Storefront Mismatch."

    Block Promoted Tweets on twitter web client (Safari)

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 03:42 PM PDT

    So my computer died in early July and I just got it fixed. In the meantime, twitter forced the new design on my account and adblock won't block promoted tweets anymore in Safari. Have not tried adblocking software on other browsers yet, but I have tried adblock, ublock, wipr, and 1blocker on Safari all to no avail. Known ads on other sites are all blocked, but I can't get rid of promoted tweets and its ruining my life. Yes, I know i could run a twitter app, but I don't want to, I like using it in Safari. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Switching between apps not in full screen using three or four finger swipe?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:41 PM PDT

    I can switch between apps only if they are in full screen, but I remember it was possible in a previous version of OS to bring up the same menu as you get when you use command tab, but that does not work anymore. I don't like to use mission control because it shows the apps all over the screen, instead of the command tab switcher is a lot quicker to use.

    Does anybody know if this is possible?

    Catalina stability

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:50 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I have a macbook air 2012 mid year and have updated it within a week every time a new release comes out. I did the same with Catalina and had to do a complete recovery from timemachine to recover. Catalina 10.15.1 fixed the issue I ran into but now I'm spooked. It sounds like a lot of people had some pretty big issues with 10.15. Is 10.15.1 a lot better? In the past the only impact I had when I upgraded was the time it took to do the upgrade. I don't want to take a step backwards with this upgrade.

    Should I back up Mid-2013 MBA before downloading Catalina?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 04:38 PM PDT

    My MacBook Air is compatible (4 GB RAM, storage space, etc) but I'm worried that something will be weird and I won't be able to go back. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Edit: I don't have any valuable files on my computer — everything important is in the cloud. So it's just the OS I would be holding on to.

    Does Photos match faces across multiple libraries or just in one library?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:16 AM PDT

    I took pictures of my kids playing sports and other activities. As long as I was there and waiting to take pictures of my kids, I took pictures of other kids.

    I'd like to share those but I'm not going to go in and tag other kids. If I can let my Mac do the work, OK. I can send Bobby's parents a link to pictures of Bobby.

    One concern is that I don't want pictures of other kids confusing Photos. Pictures of my kids are in the main photo library.

    The other concern is size - I'm paying for online storage and I don't want to have to pay for pictures of the kids of other people.

    I can find lots of information on switching among libraries, merging libraries, etc. I can't find anything on what the effects of having multiple libraries are.

    Files disappeared after adding .nosync to folder

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 01:32 PM PDT

    I recently was traveling, so i wanted to keep my recorded verses locally. This was in the documents folder. I added ".nosync" to one of the folder with several recorded files. Suddenly most of the files disappeared, and i cannot find them. I also did not have any backup. Anyone know if there is a way to recover these files? I don't see the files on iCloud drive anywhere and apple support didn't even know what to do.

    How do I uninstall apps that can no longer run?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 12:42 PM PDT

    I have a bunch of programs left that can't run on Catalina because they're 32 bit (or unsupported for whatever reason). Since they're no longer supported, their uninstaller won't run either. They're currently just taking up space. Currently wondering how to remove Office 2011

    Site-specific Chrome browser for Mac?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 11:59 AM PDT

    Hey folks,

    I've been using Epichrome to create site-specific Chrome browsers on my Mac.

    However, it's a bit buggy.

    Any other ways to do this? The challenge is that I need to be able to install Chrome extensions, and solutions like Chrome shortcuts don't allow that.

    Is it possible to rollback an update without a Time Machine backup? I want to downgrade from Mojave 10.4.6 to 10.4.2

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 10:27 AM PDT

    I want to rollback a Mojave update for my Mac mini, but I didn't make a Time Machine backup before updating. I want to revert it from 10.4.6 to 10.4.2 (the software it came with) Is this possible?

    I already tried to reinstall via Shift-Option-⌘-R and it just reinstalled 10.4.6. What other options, if any, do I have? Or am I out of luck?

    Mac downloaded Catalina automatically, how can I delete the file?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 05:59 AM PDT

    Apparently my Mac just went ahead and downloaded Catalina as an automatic update and was probably about to even install it automatically tonight. Luckily I checked the update section in System Preferences before that nightmare could become reality. Now I have Catalina ready to be installed but I absolutely don't want to install it, is there a way to remove the update file since it's taking up 8GB of disk space?

    Scan from Brother DCP-L2560DW to macOS 10.15.1

    Posted: 01 Nov 2019 08:48 AM PDT

    Scan from Brother DCP-L2560DW to macOS 10.15.1

    Hello everyone,

    Recently I updated my GF's Macbook to macOS Catalina 10.15.1.
    I'm using a Brother DCP-L2560DW multifunctional printer as well. I added the printer from the system preferences menu and printing is going fine.

    However, scanning is still a issue. I used Control Center before I did a fresh install, however, Control Center is not supported for macOS by Brother anymore.

    I want to be able to use the menu on the printer to scan to the Macbook, but without Control Center software, this isn't possible.

    Does anyone have any advice how to scan with this setup? Thanks in advance!
