    Weird Coronavirus entries in /private/etc/hosts file

    Device: MacBook Pro 2018

    Os: Catalina 10.15.3

    Today, as I was just browsing through the entries in 'hosts' file, I found a bunch of coronavirus sites pointing to loopback IP.

    I don't know which app put these entries in hosts file. I recently did install some apps via App Store/homebrew, but nothing out of the ordinary. I visited some of the sites listed here and they were fine.

    Anyone having the same in your MacBook???

    Which clock design do you guys prefer? Top was in the OS X Yosemite introduction video and in a later slide during the WWDC presentation. Bottom is the version shipped with beta 1 and has been in use ever since.

    Is there an accessibility fix for the Sheet animations?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 08:12 PM PDT

    MacOS uses "Sheets" for certain menus, scrolling them out a they open and scrolling them back in as they close. A lot of Mac and cross-platform applications use "Sheets" too.

    See here: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/windows-and-views/sheets/

    They can give me migraines.

    "Reduce Motion" does not stop "Sheet" animations, or a lot of other standard animations, at least in Mojave. I haven't tried Catalina, because a lot of my apps require Mojave or older versions, but I might consider dual-booting. Is there another trick to block "Sheet" and other animations?

    I tried the defaults fix here but it's not working: https://robservatory.com/speed-up-your-mac-via-hidden-prefs/

    my iPhone X is not showing up in finder

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:07 AM PDT

    it's been about a year that my iPhone X just wouldn't show up in finder even after multiple system updates on both devices. I thought maybe my cable was broken so I didn't really care about that much . but as I charged my new iPhone SE on my Mac, it showed up in Finder and can be synced!

    With this case, I wonder if there's anyway to check my iPhone X to see if it is broken without going to the apple store? thanks!

    Update MBA 2015 8gb to Catalina?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 01:30 PM PDT

    Good Evening,

    I have a 2015 MacBook Air with 8gb of ram and I wanted to update to Catalina, but I'm insecure about it. When I updated my Mac to Mojave I had a lot of issues, specially with my battery life, it would last around 7 hours when I was just browsing the web. Do you guys recommend updating to Catalina? How's the battery life in Catalina? Anyone who has a MBA 2015 8g and have already updated to Catalina, any thoughts??

    Can't resize/repartition APFS Volume with Disk Utility on macOS Mojave [APFS Container resize error code is 49187]

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:11 PM PDT

    Every time I try to shrink the APFS volume on my mac to add more Bootcamp size, I always get the error message: APFS Container resize error code is 49187

    I tried every possible way, like check for local snapshots and multi checking if Time Machine is off although I have never used it. I also just reset macOS Mojave so I don't have any important files to lose on it.

    Is there a way for me to be able to get this issue fixed? [I'm not looking to upgrade my mac anytime soon, because upgrading to Catalina was a nightmare for me]

    If you can help me with this issue I'd greatly appreciate it!!

    Any way to always show passwords instead of *****?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 12:00 PM PDT

    My mother is having trouble logging into things on her Mac. In particular, she is learning to use Zoom (aren't we all) and is having trouble typing in meeting passwords. She'll often miss a character, or double a character. She can still see OK and if she were able to see the password she has typed, she could fix it. But passwords are entered using hidden characters.

    Is there a global setting in Mac OS, or in Safari I guess, that would always show the full password she has typed instead of hiding it? Thanks!

    Help!

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 05:28 PM PDT

    I recently acquired a Mojave 10.14 iso and am attempting to run it in VirtualBox for a project I'm working on.

    It seems as if the boot loader is erring and continues to restart the boot process over and over. What am I missing?

    Malware notifications after upgrading to Catalina OS

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 09:53 AM PDT

    Since upgrading my Mac desktop to Catalina OS, I have had a persistent notification on my desktop that keeps reappearing. The notification reads:

    "uyenga.app" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.

    I try clicking the "Move to Trash" option on this popup but it is followed by another notification that reads:

    "uyenga.app" could not be moved to Trash. Please move this item to trash manually.

    I cannot find the "uyenga.app" file anywhere in my finder either. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you!

    Software Update

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 03:13 PM PDT

    Yesterday I updated my MacBook Pro to Catalina 10.15.4 supplemental update but I may have accidentally closed the lid of it during the update process (installation). After I opened the lid the computer worked as it should and I don't see any issues. Is there anything to worry about such as corrupt files or other issues? Thanks!

    Catalina and Shield (Android) TV

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    I have media stored on external drives. I am connected to a Shield TV via ethernet. Kodi on the Shield can recognize the drives but can't drill down to the media. I'm connected via zerocof/nfs. The only way to make this work, AFAIK, is to disable SIP. I don't really want to do that. Any help?

    Why is it so hard to eject external drives on modern macOS?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2020 10:31 AM PDT

    I remember how convenient it used to be to eject a flash drive in Mac OS 9. Just close any app that's using the drive, drag it to Trash, approve the ejection and you're done. At least you didn't have to fear that the system would get stuck ejecting, unlike the Unix-based versions.

    Not that I didn't enjoy the stability of modern macOS, but ejecting seems to be a problem no matter what version of it you run. I've already had 3 MacBooks and had the same issue from 10.3 to 10.14 (don't know about Catalina, since I can't afford updating all my apps for it).

    Overall, I often find myself procrastinating my backup routine, since I never know what kind of a hassle it'll be to eject my backup drive. It doesn't help, that it's connected straight to the USB-C port of my 2019 MacBook Pro and not via a dongle. Either the system ejects the drive instantly, gets stuck for a few seconds, or argues that some app is using it even when that's not the case.

    It's the same deal whether it's a flash drive, an SD card or anything that's related to data transport. I bet that it'd be faster to stream 1080p videos via a 56k modem than to get your drive safely out of your Mac (just kidding).
