    Mouse can access the Touch Bar

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:14 AM PST

    clicking the bottom of dock actually clicks the Touch Bar icon directly below.

    I am guessing this is a bug but the TB is another screen so it makes sense where the 'second' screen is positioned.

    Updated to Catalina and Mail likes to appear when an application is full screen

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:09 PM PST

    I always run mail in the background because it's convenient to have mail appear in the top right corner when I get a email. However with Catalina, Mail makes itself known by randomly deciding to appear on 1/2 of the screen while playing Netflix full screen for instance... I have mail open in window form, not hidden so I can quickly whip screens from full screen chrome to desktop where Mail always lives.

    Logitech Craft?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:48 PM PST

    Hi all. I'll be getting the Logitech Craft soon for my iMac. For those of you who have it, what is it like? Do the volume buttons work on MacOS for you guys? What is it like whilst typing? If it's as quiet as the magic keyboard then I'll get it.

    Thanks!

    Any way to have macOS not dim the window/display when another display is active?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 06:22 AM PST

    Any way to have macOS not dim the window/display when another display is active?

    I use dark mode but what I find annoying is say I have Safari open on my MacBook 16" display, but also on my external 4K monitor, if I click on the Safari window on the MacBook, like I'm doing right now, it basically fades out the external display. Like the top menu bar showing the Apple icon and Safari etc goes from black with white writing to super faded out.

    Here's what I mean if I'm active typing on my MacBook it looks like this:

    https://preview.redd.it/qyofva5dg5b41.png?width=1328&format=png&auto=webp&s=08904383fd1d6752591d7b53321ef530d8a5047f

    But when I then click on my external monitor to use it, macOS dims the MacBook screen it to look like this:

    https://preview.redd.it/xcvpm07gg5b41.png?width=1338&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a94ded2a34f8652debe543f7e18d7c7268a1edf

    And vice versa, so whatever monitor/display is not active, macOS fades it out. It's super annoying as if I get a message on Hangouts for example and it's on my external display, it's easy to miss as it's hard to see it flashing, and I don't see the green icon to immediately know which to go to.

    Using Light mode I find looks even worse:

    Active display

    Inactive display

    Is there any way to change this so that it works like Windows, and just keeps BOTH displays looking normal? I don't understand the logic behind this, like why would you want the menu bar and half the app to turn black and white when you are active on the alternate display?

    Here's another example, when you go to System Preferences under Display, if I'm viewing it on my MacBook display it looks like this:

    https://preview.redd.it/uix4kxo1i5b41.png?width=1368&format=png&auto=webp&s=ff0c792f55add068f019527faa7dd627c4ba07f8

    But as soon as I click on the external monitor it changes to this:

    https://preview.redd.it/u0qwc314i5b41.png?width=1350&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ea75240425823cf60403f7892bbc82f292140b1

    It's so frustrating! My office is really bright with lots of windows so I constantly lose windows like this as they just blend in with other backgrounds. I can't find anything online about this though as I don't really know what to search for.

    2019 Macbook air screen flickering

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 07:31 PM PST

    Hey I'm new to the apple community so forgive me if I use wrong terms please. Just got a Macbook air 2019 and a couple days ago, the keyboard function buttons stopped working, after restarting it, it starting working again. However, when it turned on the screen flashed red on the apple logo. Yesterday the screen went off while I was using it with 87% battery and same thing with the red flickering when I forced it off and back on. Now it flickers red everytime I turn it on, and when it goes off it flashes white fuzz. I reset the SMC and pram.

    Anything I can do before going into apple store? Anyone else have this issue?

    Reminders not synching at all on my Mac.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 01:32 PM PST

    Whenever I create a note, upload to my iCloud Drive, photos or any other iCloud function on my Mac, it gets synched correctly across all devices, except for the reminders app. Reminders works correctly on my iPhone and iPad with no issues, uploading to iCloud right away, but with my Mac it seems to be using a completely different account. It doesn't have any of the reminders I have uploaded on to iCloud when I open up the app, instead the app shows no reminders. Which is weird, because when I make a note on the Mac it gets uploaded to iCloud with no issues. Any ideas?

    T2 audio issues?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 01:45 PM PST

    Effectively crossposted from the main mac sub, but automod flagged it as a blacklisted link for some reason. Here's a copypaste.

    There's a few threads on this, but they're all archived. I'm hoping there's Mac users on here who work in music/audio.

    I am looking for a new computer for live music performance (Ableton/MaxMSP), coming off of a 10-year-old Dell that I shamelessly held onto for fear of losing data. Windows audio is a pain and Windows DPC is a double-pain, so I'm considering Mac for the first time. However, it seems that there was a T2 bug for USB2.0 interfaces in Mojave that was supposed to be fixed but is only partially fixed, and that there's a number of audio bugs in Catalina. What I couldn't find on forums was the extent of the issue. How are Mac users getting around this? Should I plan on installing Mojave rather than Catalina and use an adapter with my interface? Would that be sufficient? I'm tempted to look for a pre-T2 MacBook, but I'm not sure that would be supported by Apple.

    Thanks.

    How to fins Unverified developer files

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:28 AM PST

    Hi,

    I was in the middle of installing and initiating Google SDK, and all of the sudden I got a warning from the os saying that a file has an unverified developer and that I should move it in the trash. I just quickly clicked cancelled as I thought it was due to Google.

    But I'm looking back and now I'm a bit concerned as I was stupid and should have looked at the file closer.

    Is there anyway I can find files that the OS considers unverified?

    Also I'm new to Mac.

    Thanks!

    Edit: Apologies for the incorrect spelling of find.

    I should clarify that I'm not too entirely sure that it was from Google. But rather it happened during the process

    "This volume is not formatted as APFS"

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:44 AM PST

    Hey I've heard that some people have also been having this issue over the past months, but I still am struggling to find how to fix it.

    I had downloaded the Catalina update, but cannot install it, as it comes up with "This volume is not formatted as APFS" after I accept the Terms and Conditions.

    Any suggestions of how to fix this?

    Thank you very much and hope your 2020 is going well so far :)

    Is there a free application to create system profiles for MacOS?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:28 AM PST

    Been searching all morning, but can't find a good solution. I'm deploying bunch of Mac mini and I'm getting read tired of manually tweaking settings and thought a system profile would save me some time. Apple Configurator 2 is mainly for iOS. MDM like Jamf is a paid solution and I'm not looking for something for long term management. Just a configure and be done with. Any suggestion?

    Catalina - Keyboard / typing problems since upgrade

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:06 AM PST

    Our computer is a 2017 iMac 5K. Since upgrading to Catalina, the "s" key does not register about 25% of the time.

    No issues when booting into Windows and typing.

    System Preferences settings:

    • Key Repeat is set to fastest
    • Delay Until Repeat is set to shortest
    • Correct spelling automatically is off
    • Capitalize words automatically is off
    • Ad period with double-space is off
    • Sticky Keys is off
    • Tried NVRAM and PRAM resets

    From our research it appears others have issues with typing related to Wacom drivers, but we do not have a Wacom device.

    AirDrop broken since Catalina

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:03 AM PST

    Hi there - since upgrading to Catalina I can't use airdrop and cannot discover my device on my iPhone.

    By default, AirDrop on my macbook is stuck to on "no one" for discoverability. I swap it to "everyone" but when navigate back to it it is still stuck on "no one."

    Is anyone else experiencing this? A fix would be appreciated. Everything was working fine before the upgrade.

    Thanks.

    How can I access where playlists are kept in Catalina?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:23 AM PST

    I have been having all sorts of problems syncing my music library on my Mac and my iPhone 8. These problems all started when I upgraded to Catalina. The problem is duplicate playlists and duplicate playlist folders that are either empty or contain my entire music library. I was going to just sync selected artists, playlists, etc. but then I saw that the duplicates are there also. That's where my phone is getting the bad info from. So my question is, is there a way to access the music library where the playlists are stored on the hard drive? It seems like something behind the scenes in the music is not updating when I make changes in the Catalina Music app. It's keeping playlists I have deleted, and oddly separating ones I've kept.

    Here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/NJzF2IJ

    I used to have a folder called Monthly Playlists, but I deleted it. I'm trying to figure out why it's still showing up there, in duplicate. It must be on the Mac hard drive somewhere, but I don't know where to look. I was on the phone with Apple support quite a long time last night and they couldn't help. She said that was what was on my iphone. I know that's not true, because when I synced my ipod, I saw the same folders in the same section.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

    [Question] Watch YouTube (or any other) video in native PiP NOT in Safari?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:53 AM PST

    My problem is that I watch YouTube videos on 2x speed, but Saffari has a problem with it if you change the speed, the sound gets worse (the problem is described here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8504804). I'd like to watch videos in PiP mode natively, but the only app can do this (Safari) has another problem... vicious circle.

    Strange Problem on MAC FTP ForkLift3

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:29 AM PST

    Hello guys. I have a very strange problem... Feeling myself like a noob..
    I bought a Mac in November, I came from windows.. I used total commander for FTP before, so I bought the ForkLift 3 from binarynights to replace tc on Mac. I used and liked it till yesterday without any problem..

    I have 10 saved, favorite FTP connection. All of them working but only one stopped working..
    Just loading, trying to connect then 425 error or simply "Timed Out" error message..
    The settings all the same as before.. Passive mode, simple FTP connection, same server, same name, same password and same coding..
    Tried in Finder the connection works.
    Tried in another FTP client and also works..
    Tried in Forklift 1 from appstore (same company) and also working!

    Deleted the whole app, reinstalled but again only this one connection does not work..
    Deleted again, also removed every footprint from the System (preferences, app support, caches etc) and reinstall but all the same again... Only this one FTP connection doesn't work in ForkLift 3.........

    I wrote emails to them, I wrote on twitter to them but they didn't reply yet...

    - Mac firewall off (never was on) and nothing changed on my system settings..
    - I didn't change any settings on my Mac
    - The server didn't change anything on their side, they said.

    Is there anyone who can tell me anything possible solution?????

    I just got this 8-port Type-C Hub from amazon. However, I noticed my mouse cursor sometimes teleport on the screen, also sometimes Netflix gave me warning about some HDCP problem(Whoops, something went wrong... display error. There appears to be a display problem. Please ensure your monitor is HDCP compliant and is not mirror using airplay. ) when I connected to an external display. Does anyone know how to fix these problems?

    My setup:

    Macbook Pro 15 inch 2019 i9 connecting to a 2k screen through HDMI using type C hub.

    iTunes (Mojave 10.14.6) stopped updating “last played”, “plays” stats

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 03:07 AM PST

    As the title says, iTunes suddenly stopped updating "last played" dates and play counts, but ONLY when I listen on my Mac. If I listen on my phone and then sync with iTunes, everything updates just fine. The glitch is pretty annoying, since I use smart playlists and many of them depend on "last played" stat for live updating

    I'm guessing it has something to do with Apple Music - I had the trial sub up until yesterday, and then I cancelled it, because I didn't really use it, so is this their way of punishing me now? I've tried restarting iTunes, restarting my Mac, don't know what else to do

    The songs still show up when I click the "hamburger" button in the top center or iTunes, so it definitely knows the songs were played, but it just doesn't register it anywhere else.
