| Problems With iMovie Audio Clip Editting Posted: 08 Feb 2020 12:11 AM PST In iMovie, my audio clips are set at the lowest possible position in the timeline and are not attached to anything. When I bring a video into the timeline and edit it, those audio tracks keep getting trimmed, cut, altered, etc. Why is this happening and how can I stop it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:44 PM PST I just picked up a 2014 Mac mini. Loaded it with Catalina and started setting it up. I'm using a fresh 2tb external drive for Time Machine. I followed Apple's write up on sharing the drive as a time machine backup location for my 2019 MBP. I can see the drive in time machine on MBP but no matter how I try to login, it says I don't have permission. Help? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Anyone having the problem in Catalina where mailboxes get randomly rearranged daily? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:57 PM PST I have multiple inboxes for various uses. I like to have my work inbox at the top, then other inboxes according to order of importance. Almost daily, Catalina rearranges the order of the inboxes (not the emails themselves). There is some traction on the Apple site from users with the same issue, but there has been no fix since Catalina was released. I thought, perhaps, that it was a new "feature" where one must hold down the option key when ordering inboxes (like you do to save a Finder window size), but that did not work. This was the very last thing that I ever thought would happen after years and years of using Mail, haha. It's getting super annoying though. . . https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250758919?answerId=252105582022 [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is there a good way to merge all images on each page of a pdf without rasterizing the text? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 08:30 PM PST Hi, I'm running into some pdf trouble. I use an old Kindle Dx as an e-reader, and can't use newer touch devices. I have to convert pdf files to pdf 1.4, and reduce image sizes. For whatever reason, some odf files include tiled images which defeat my usual tools. I can use Ghostscript, which really struggles with these files, or Willus's k2pdfopt, which rasterizes them losing text quality. I usually run these via Automator, for example, one of my more aggressive Ghostscript tools takes pdfs, and runs a bash script using the inputs as arguments: for f in "$@" do suffix="-d2gray.pdf" base= ... Leaving text clear but compressing images to grayscale with half the resolution of the Dx. At this point, I've found a crude workaround using all of Ghostscript, Willus's k2pdfopt, and cpdf to repair these files. Step 1 inputs the source pdf into another Automator script, running Ghostscript: for f in "$@" do suffix="-text.pdf" base= So one file with the text and one with the images, both raster and vector. Step 2 inputs the images pdf into another Automator script, running Willus's k2pdfopt which I've installed in my Applications folder: ~/Applications/k2pdfopt -ui -mode copy -g 1.0 -x -o %s_k2opt_copy $@ Step 3 merges these, using the Terminal and cpdf -combine-pages text.pdf images.pdf -o merged.pdf I'm not sure how to configure Automatic for 2 input files. Step 4 is to run merged.pdf through the appropriate compression software. Is anyone aware of a simpler solution? Note that apart from Automator, the other apps are cross-platform.

| Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:56 PM PST Hi, As more and more apps are going the subscription route it is becoming compelling to move to SetApp to make the software suite financially viable. I was seeking feedback from the community as to experiences with the service. The cost seems a no brainer in terms of paying for direct subscriptions. The issues I would appreciate feedback on are the following :-
Unfortunately i gave up on the idea at service launch and my trial has expired. Thanks in advance. Mario [link] [comments]  | ||
| Disk Utility stuck at shrinking APFS Posted: 07 Feb 2020 06:28 PM PST So I decided to try to add space to my boot camp by partitioning more space but it has been over 24 hours stuck at "shrinking APFS data structures". Should it be taking this long or has something gone wrong? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How can I restore the hard drive of my MacBook to its original state? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:59 PM PST [I'm fine to wipe the whole thing and start again. I have nothing on the computer that I need to keep] I've been dual booting linux for ages, but linux doesn't run great of a MacBook Air, so I'm going to try to with just OSX. Previously I formatted the drive into 4 partitions- Mac, Linux, swap, boot. In Disk Utility it has this disk show on the left menu Internal disk
If I select any of them and click "partition" I get a pie chart showing "untitled [finder logo] 235GB", "container disk2 234GB", "disk0s5 14.5GB" and MaxOS Base System 17.2GB) MaCOS is installed on Untitled and container disk2 is formatted in APFS.The only partition that has a non-grey-out minus symbol is disk0s5 [link] [comments]  | ||

| MBP 2018 '13, is Catalina update is still bad? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:03 PM PST Tired of dismissing the update every day. But having all the problems I heard about Catalina is more tiring. So I wanted to ask you if something has changed, or people with old MacBooks just have these problems? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 07 Feb 2020 10:36 AM PST I recently came into possession of a 27" 2011 iMac. It works perfectly except it doesn't seem to have any "Internal speakers". It plays the standard mac "bong" sound when it starts up, so I know speakers are there and functional, but when I go to set the sound output device, "Internal speakers" is absent from the list. I can set "Digital output" but the red light inside the headphone jack port doesn't light. I have tried inserting a 1/8" headphone jack repeatedly as well as a q-tip to try to clean it out to no avail. I have also reset the NVRAM. It's also a completely fresh install (High Sierra). Anyone else have any suggestions? [link] [comments]  | ||

Also if u can try to explain the process a little more simpler that would be nice as im only 15. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Keep all the messages on the phone but Mac to store only messages within the last 30 days? Posted: 07 Feb 2020 11:29 AM PST Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. Anyhow, as I was cleaning up my macbook today, I realized my iMessage folder is using 80-ish GB storage on my hard disk. I have iMessage syncing turned on and want to keep all the messages on my phone, but would like my computer to only store messages within the last 30 days and remove those that are older than that - is it possible without deleting them on the cloud? Sorry for redundancy. English is not my first language. Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Prints always default to the first printer. Posted: 07 Feb 2020 02:24 PM PST This is the most frustrating thing. If someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. We have a couple of printers on our network and when someone sends me a document and I print it it tries to default to the printer that they use, not the one that is right next to me. I have to manually change the printer every time I need to print that file and if I forget it goes to the printer in another part of the building. Is there a way to change the printer that is associated with that particular document for good? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Siri on Mac says my AirPods Pro doesn’t support Noise Cancellation Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:48 AM PST I can't seem to get Siri on my MBP to toggle NC on/off like I can when it is paired to my phone. I'm running 10.15.3 on an Early 2015 rMBP (MacBookPro12,1). I can toggle NC manually through the menu bar or on the earbuds, but not through Siri. Is this a limitation of the Bluetooth hardware or is there something going on with the software that I should look into further? [link] [comments]  | ||
| hissing sound left MacBook pro Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:23 AM PST So my left speaker or something in that region makes quiet, but noticeable Hissing sound. https://vimeo.com/389765725/538dab6a71 I had for some time sound from SSD like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wgeXF76dHQ Now it is present, but it's quieter than it was before. And now I have a new sound from the left of my laptop. I'm sure that this sound isn't from the fan - because it stops after rebooting (while fan goes on the same 2150RPM). I'm sure that I had no such sound for the first year of using my laptop. As for me, sometimes, this sound activates with the use of the speaker and stops after a short time. Sometimes not. I found that some users report such problem https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7772834 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250869811 Does anybody happen to have and advice on how to repair it? Or can users with others MBP confirm that they have such sound? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Mac Mini (2018, 10.15)very slow after logging in Posted: 07 Feb 2020 04:53 AM PST So my Mac Mini boots to the login screen very quickly. But after selecting an account and entering a password, it takes several minutes to log in to the desktop. It's been his way since about a month I guess and I'm not sure what's causing this. How can I solve this? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Is Catalina the macOS equivalent of Windows Vista? (unpopular opinion) Posted: 07 Feb 2020 09:15 AM PST I'm writing this post as I click "Allow" again for the 9th time today just to install one app today morning. I've been a Mac user since the Snow Leopard, and been using every iteration of macOS since then. I didn't had that many complaints before other than when they introduced SIP, which made it bit of a hassle when using certain software (have to restart and boot into recovery to disable SIP). I really liked the macOS Mojave. It was very stable even on old hardware (Mac Mini 2012). And here comes the macOS Catalina. Since I got it, I have constant software-side issues, and some of them are so bad that I have to force restart the Mac couple times during the day (my keyboard and trackpad stops working and shows up bluetooth search window). Some legacy apps won't work because of 32-bit support drop. And the worst of all, the constant "security prompts" about apps want to access anything on my computer reminds me of those days of UAC prompts in Windows Vista. It is good for security, yes, but it gets really annoying when I have to click Allow again and again. Why not just give me one prompt that shows me some options and allow what I want? I think macOS is still great OS overall, no doubt about that. But Catalina is the first that made me feel very clunky to use. [link] [comments]  |
