    Software Update notification is still showing after updating to 10.15.4 - Anyone know what's causing this or how I can fix it?

    [BUG] I just discovered that location services make my network connections periodically have a lag spike and lose all packets

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:33 AM PDT

    Lately i'm having problems with my 13' 2016 macbook pro ping response on wifi. Other computers in my home have not reported problems and the modem seems to work properly, therefore I investigated more and found that the location services cause my WiFi network connection to reach 3sec peak ping and lose all packets exactly every 1 minute (inspected with pro network tools). Disabling completely the location services removes the problem and keeps the network latency very low and stable. I found on internet forums that it may be caused by the mac wifi discovery. I just opened a ticket issue on the feedback apple page hoping that they will fix the problem.

    Do you have also experienced / notices this issue?

    I just moved my iMovie library (38Gb) to an external drive but free space isn't showing it

    Posted: 01 Apr 2020 03:56 AM PDT

    Can someone help with this? I moved the library, then deleted it and emptied the trash. But I don't see the recovered chunk of space. 38 Gb should have shown up. In stead, About this Mac shows 8 Gb free. That is impossible.

    If 10 years ago I knew that I would need to hackintosh an actual Mac one day, I would probably stay upgrading my loyal old and actual ;) hackintosh PC, that used to run MacOS better than Windows by the way...

    iTunes Match & Catalina - music won't download with artwork

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 07:42 PM PDT

    I've been searching all over and since iTunes match seems to not be a very popular service anymore, I'm having the hardest time finding an answer.

    I just finished uploading all of my music to itunes match on a previous version of the OS, still using iTunes, and decided to let all my music live in the cloud. I am now attempting to re-download it all through the music app on Catalina and it though the music app shows all of the artwork just find, when it downloads it, the files themselves just have the grey music icon.

    When I was uploading all of my music to the cloud I meticulously went through every song and added album art to the metadata. Is there anyway to get it back when downloading? The fact it shows it in the music app shows its still there, but why won't it download?

    Any help will be very much appreciated

    Parental Controls - How do I disable the verbal countdown before "Bedtime"?

    Parental Controls - How do I disable the verbal countdown before "Bedtime"?

    ​

    https://preview.redd.it/do3vrthjwzp41.png?width=429&format=png&auto=webp&s=14dabaf2e6bbe300cda31a5f61028c68e47770d4

    We have a family Mac with multiple accounts. My son uses it for his distance learning while his school is shutdown.

    I set up Parental Controls and his user is locked out after 7pm. (See screenshot) The problem is that the Mac announces the lock out (in a loud voice!) several times prior to 7pm. I've search all over and can't find a way to disable that verbal countdown without disabling the lock out or muting the Mac.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    This APFS file system is a hot mess. Can’t we go back to when partitioning was as simple as clicking “ - “ ? Why am I be able to remove the BOOT partition but not the other one that has a load of free space and is the one I actually want to get rid of???

    I've been getting this weird mouse lag in FPS games recently.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 06:13 PM PDT

    Hello! I am concerned mostly about how there is tremendous mouse lag in FPS games and first person games like for example: Minecraft, CS:GO, CS:S, Roblox, etc. I know for sure it has to do with MacOS because when I played these games on a windows pc, the mouse was way smoother. I have Catalina and my parents do not want me to downgrade due to security issues.

    Any way I could fix this without downgrading?

    Photos - How do you manage your pictures ?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 02:11 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Back to 2000, I used to take pictures with a DSLR Camera, import them in Aperture, select, sort and from time to time I did export the datas to an external drive, keeping the files sorted by place and by year, adding the new files automatically, ignoring the duplicates.
    Everything was fine and the drive contains about 330Gb of my pictures.

    Now, I use my iPhone, and Photos.app keeps the Mac library in sync with iCloud. But it's been few years now and my icloud space should be freed from old pictures I could archive on my backup drive.

    Aperture is not installed anymore, and Photos does not seems to provide such export feature (storing files in /place/year/).

    I can't import back the 330G in Photos in order to re-export them in a new way. I can't either export picture manually from Photos, looking for places and year…

    How do you guys deals with Aperture legacy, how do you manage big picture library without using a lot of local disk space, how do you keep your pictures organized ?

    Thank you so much

    Catalina, Retroactive & iTunes

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 05:48 PM PDT

    I upgraded to Catalina when it came out, and after a couple of weeks I found some of the changes so aggravating that I went back to Mojave. Now, for compatibility with work I'm considering switching again.

    The biggest problem I had with Catalina was how terrible it was with audiobooks. I'm hoping to avoid that by using Retroactive to run iTunes 12.9.5.5, and use it primarily to handle the audiobooks.

    I'd really like to hear from anyone who has been running iTunes in Catalina. Has it worked out? Do you use it to sync your iDevices? Will I have any problems if I just use iTunes for audiobooks and have Music.app deal with the music library?

    Thanks.

    Does Catalina speed up an older MacBook Pro?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:47 PM PDT

    I'm currently on an Early 2013 MacBook Pro Retina and I'm considering upgrading to Catalina. Most of my Apps are compatible so it's pretty much a matter of speed and efficiency. Do you suggest I upgrade?

    Installing macOS on External HDD - Does APFS vs HFS+ Matter or Partitioning?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 04:06 PM PDT

    Trying to put older maOS on External Drive (HDD not SSD) and having no success. I have created a Flash Drive Installer with Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra and I'm pretty sure I've done that correctly. The Flash drive boots and installs on partitioned External HDD but only puts macOS Install Data file on partitions. Usually a reboot would allow for the continuation of the installation but I cannot get the completion of the installation to occur.

    I'm pretty sure the APFS vs HFS+ was no longer considered an issue for External Drives - HDD or SSD after High Sierra. What considerations should I be looking at to get this to work. I had Catalina on this external previously so I know it's possible but somehow I can't get it to work now.

    Can’t get OS to reinstall

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 03:13 PM PDT

    I hope someone can help me. I'm using a 2014 MacBook Air and I tried to do a restore from backup today. Whenever it gets to about 75-80% it says the backup was disconnected. I was doing it through a time machine backup on an external hard drive. I tried 2 different ones from last night. No luck. So I tried to do a reinstall of Catalina. It looks like it works then restarts and says it can't be installed. I don't know what to do. With no place to take it I'm not sure where to go from here.

    Play counts not updating from iPhone onto Music app on Mac

    Posted: 31 Mar 2020 02:33 PM PDT

    Any ideas? Just updated to catalina after a long time on mavericks.
    Plays from my iphone (I use the file player and not Apple music) are no longer updating in my Music library. Obviously they update if I play on my mac, just not on my phone. Any ideas? Seems like a deliberate ploy by apple to get me to use Apple music. Not gonna happen when I have 30,000+ tracks.
