    macOS I just got a pop-up saying "p" may harm your computer... Does anyone have any idea what this might be. I hit the send to trash button 3 times and it put 3 things in the trash. I looked back 1 minute later and they were gone without me deleting them.

    Apple Server blocked by university’s network admin

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 08:48 AM PDT

    Hi guys. I have a macbook pro 2015 and uses 100mbps ethernet via thunderbolt 2.

    When connected to university's local ethernet, i constantly have problems signing in to my Apple ID with errors "There was a error connecting to Apple ID Server". When I use my own internet hotspot, theres no problem whatsoever.

    This occurs to Apple ID sign in on System Preferences, Mac App Store and even Apple TV. To make things worse, i cant even stream or download any shows from Apple TV :(

    So could there be any solution for this? And if i were to contact the network admin, what should i request in?

    Sorry for lots of questioning. Just got really frustrated. Thanks all. Stay safe.

    Audio lag with MacBook and AirPods

    Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:10 AM PDT

    I just bought a 2019 MacBook Air today and have been using my first gen AirPods to watch Netflix/YouTube and am finding them practically unusable because the latency is so bad, everything is out of sync. I've previously had a 2017 MacBook Pro and used it with the same AirPods and never had any issues with latency.

    Is there any fix for this? I've searched everywhere online and have found similar problems, but nothing recent and nothing actually helpful

    Edit: Now my AirPods are connecting/disconnecting all the time. If this isn't an easy fix I'm going to return the laptop.

    Unmerge 2 People in Photos

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:38 PM PDT

    Hello,

    For some reason Photos has merged my photos and my sons photos as a single person. I can't seem to figure out how to unmerge the 2 such that it recategorizes photos of each of us into our 2 separate identities.

    How do I decouple the 2 of us, and get photos to sort appropriately?

    Thanks!

    Trying to upgrade from 10.9.5

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:01 PM PDT

    I know, super super late to the game, but the time has come to do a serious upgrade on the system this computer is running on. I tried downloading Catalina, and on the app store it tells me that it is installed, unfortunately it's not. I read somewhere else that I was supposed to download El Capitan first, but when I search for it on the app store it's unavailable. Any idea what I can do? Thanks in advance :)

    How to turn off 'e from becoming é

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 06:54 PM PDT

    I've been coding on windows and finally got my Mac Pro to run again, but didn't realize that when i type an apostrophe and a letter it will combine both. Anyway to turn this off? Not 100% familiar with MacOS to know what to turn off.

    How can I bookmark/subscribe to an Apple Music radio show?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    I got apple music because I just want to listen to Echo Chamber with Mike D. I don't care about any of the other stuff, but I can't figure out how to add the show to my favorites/subscribe/whatever to be notified when new episodes come out. Is there some kind of radio playlist I can make?

    Help with getting update icon badge to go away.

    Help with getting update icon badge to go away.

    Recently purchased a 21.5 iMac and it needed an update to Catalina. I ran the update and ever since the upgrade from Mojave to Catalina, it says I have an update available to download. When I go to settings and system updates to download it, there's no update there. Can't figure out what's going on with it.

    I've tried signing in and out of my Apple ID, aside from that, that's the only fix I was able to find on Google and it doesn't quite do the trick for me. Oddly enough this happened to me on my 2019 MB Pro too and I just can't recall the process I went through to get rid of it on there.

    Problems with my old MacBook Pro. Help!

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 04:45 PM PDT

    I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro 13" (late 2011, High Sierra).

    1. I CAN'T lock the "click the lock to prevent future changes" lock. Any changes I make in such lockable areas revert back after I change the settings.

    2. I can't delete a user I created once in the "Users & Groups". The remove (-) button is greyed out.

    3. The app store won't load (white background) and won't login to my account.

    Any idea how I can fix this?

    (Please do ask for more details if needed. I'm not tech savvy and don't know what would be relevant.)

    Late 2015 iMac only boots in Windows 10

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 03:31 PM PDT

    I have a 2015 iMac that has Windows 10 and it loads perfectly fine, I can watch 4K videos play games etc. So whenever I want to boot in OS X the progress bar fills but doesn't load into OS X. I tried loading OS X from an external SSD and it's the same thing. Thinking maybe the partition is corrupted.

    I tried resetting the P-RAM, internet recovery. Should I just swap the Internal HDD with an SSD? I don't mind losing data.

    I ordered a thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter to see if target disk mode works since I have a working 2009 MacBook Pro.

    Trackpad Clicks Not Working after Switch to Catalina

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:55 AM PDT

    Sorry if this has been answered before, I searched but couldn't find anything specific here.I was pretty late to switching from Mojave to Catalina because I heard of a lot of issues, but recently made the switch.

    Since I've switched, I noticed some annoying issues with my trackpad, essentially not registering ever other physical click I make (not taps, those are fine). This is plenty annoying for my job where I have to copy & paste a lot of things, and I reached out to a iOS coder friend for some guidance. He told me this was 100% related to Catalina and not a physical issue with my 5 year old Macbook. My Mac is in great condition & these issues did not exist the day before I switched from Mojave.

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, if they were able to fix it in Catalina or if they had to downgrade? Appreciate any guidance here, thank you in advance!

    (Extra: Noticing some issue with keyboard keys not registering also, but not a specific key. Also I tried to downgrade to Mojave with a bootable USB, followed all instructions to a T & it was a nightmare and now I'm back to Catalina for the 2nd time, issues are still here)

    Websites on Safari are reloading

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 11:19 AM PDT

    I have a MacBook Pro (13 inch 2017, 14,2) running macOS 10.14.6. Every time i go to a website, the website reloads and says that there is a problem.

    I have cleared the cache and the history, deleted the Cache.db file from the Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari folder.

    I also disabled the JavaScript in Safari and that temporarily fixed the issue but most sites will not function properly.

    I have hit a wall and need some help.

    Blurry text / font on external monitor

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 10:36 AM PDT

    Hi guys. I have a brand new 1080p 23" monitor that is hooked to MacBook Pro 13" 2017. Text is really blurry compared to Dell laptop with Windows 10 connected to same monitor. The difference is huge. I've tried couple of months some commands but nothing changes. I am running latest version of Catalina. Any thoughts? Thanks guys. All best, Dragan

    Which OS for 2014 15" MBP and why? Currently on El Capitan

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 01:55 PM PDT

    I've always loved my MBP but recently I've experienced some performance issues primarily with chrome draining CPU and causing fans to run at 100%. Not sure if updating OS will help with this but wanted to see what people think is the best OS for an older MBP. El Cap vs High Sierra vs Mojave vs Catalina. (I'm also considering upgrading to take advantage of newer adobe app versions, but that's not super important)

    2018 MacBook Pro on Catalina shuts down without warning when battery around 20%

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:42 AM PDT

    Over the last couple of months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down when the battery gets low with no warning at all. I'll be working and all of a sudden the screen will go black and the machine stops responding. At first I didn't know what was causing it so tried plugging the power in. The odd thing is I hear the power charge indicator tone as if the computer is still awake, but the screen stays black and the computer is unresponsive for a while, up to half an hour and then eventually after several attempts to reboot it it will come back on.

    My son has a 2015 MacBook Pro and it seems to be doing a very similar thing.

    Anyone else having this?

    Anyone have a solution?

    I fear Apple has gone downhill, especially in the last couple of years. I'm a long time, loyal user but there's just too many things that are frustrating me lately. This is not the Apple I know.

    Thanks in advance.

    Help needed to work with single user mode

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 09:50 AM PDT

    iMac mid-2011 running macOS 10.13.6, I believe.

    I can only boot to single-user mode and would like to do a few things.

    1- After plugging in the external drive, list the mounted disks and their properties (including file system format). I foolishly tried just using diskutil list but single user ain't having it.

    2- Format the external drive to APFS (or whatever my internal drive's format is).

    3- Create a complete backup of the internal drive that I will be able to recover from later, on a PC that isn't a text screen.

    I have done dumb amounts of googling and have at least 20 tabs open that may be of help to me, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to be sure. I've also gone through Apple Support (many times) but even though they could help, they can't guide me through single user mode on the phone and the nearest Apple service provider that's open is 150+ klicks away (yay COVID).

    Help is much appreciated.
