Downgrading to Mojave question Posted: 25 May 2020 08:06 AM PDT I'm currently making a backup with Time Machine while using the latest version, Catalina. ​ Like the title says I would like to downgrade to Mojave because I'd like to use certain programs I can't use anymore. Will the backup of Time Machine bring me back to Catalina after I downgraded? submitted by /u/Tlxy [link] [comments]

Notification Centre: Now Playing widget for Apple Music Posted: 25 May 2020 10:18 PM PDT The "Now Playing" widget is only showing whatever is currently playing on your computer, e.g. Youtube, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. Is there a widget similar but just for Apple Music? So I can start playing my music through a click of a button in the notification center? Edit: I'm asking regarding for macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Beta submitted by /u/seraphim-gates [link] [comments]

I'm new to the Apple ecosystem. What great MacOS/iOS exclusive apps should I look into? Posted: 25 May 2020 06:23 PM PDT So far I've adopted Bear in place of Evernote, and Spark to manage my email. I love them, especially Spark. It's so convenient and easy to use I can't imagine going back to managing my email without it. What other tools and apps should I look into? I've spent a lifetime on Windows/Linux/Android and just started using a Macbook about a year ago, and just got my first iPhone about a week ago. submitted by /u/mca62511 [link] [comments]

[HELP] Utility to swap ctrl and cmd key based on active app. Posted: 26 May 2020 01:13 AM PDT I use Microsoft RD to connect to my windows machine. There's a lot of copying and shortcuts involved and I always get confused between ctrl and cmd. So is there any app which can automate the swap of these two keys based on the app I'm using? Thanks! submitted by /u/hashedout [link] [comments]

MacBook Air not connecting to monitor Posted: 25 May 2020 08:35 PM PDT This week my MacBook Air 2018 model decided to stop connecting to my monitor it's a 32' MSI 4k display if that matters. I connect my mac to my monitor using an Insignia mini displayport to hdmi cable. It was working last week and all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried booting on safe mode and using the detect display to no avail. submitted by /u/dr_drizzy24 [link] [comments]

OS question about MacBook Pro mid-2010 Posted: 25 May 2020 07:46 PM PDT I've been running the original OS that it came with, and I plan on putting in more Ram, an SSD, and a new battery. I was wondering when I replace them, will it still be running the original OS I had with it and then I can update it, or would I need to copy my old HardDrive to my new SSD? submitted by /u/FedoraMask [link] [comments]

[Question] Safari keeps throwing this error. How do I solve it permanently? Posted: 25 May 2020 09:13 PM PDT I use the latest macOS Catalina and suddenly I started seeing this sort of error on safari for every page I try to open. The only way to solve it was to either wait for sometime and refresh the page again, or clear my cache. Even after clearing cache, it appears to be solved only for few hours before kicking back in. Any solution to this? https://preview.redd.it/q1e3zk4kb1151.png?width=629&format=png&auto=webp&s=9868c4568168bd33fa2674e415e23b19851c0e83 submitted by /u/TheFreeVegetarian [link] [comments]

Can macOS support simultaneous and independent VNC sessions from different user accounts? Posted: 25 May 2020 08:39 PM PDT And without having to worry about kicking out each other? Or fighting over the cursor? If so how? What about a VNC session and a local session? submitted by /u/itposingascs [link] [comments]

OneDrive Symlinks taking up space? Posted: 25 May 2020 07:10 PM PDT I have a MBP 13" 2017 with 128GB SSD that I bought refurbished. I currently use both iCloud and OneDrive for storage. iCloud for sync between my iPhone SE and my Mac, and OneDrive because of Office 365. My Mac is complaining that it's running out of space, at least according to the Storage tab on System Information. System Information seems to believe the culprit of the space being used is from OneDrive files, but the issue is these files have never been "downloaded". OneDrive is set up to only list objects until I open them (On-Demand Files). Once I open them, the full copy is downloaded. The problem is I've never opened these files the OS is complaining about. When I do a 'du -sh *' on the directory where it complains space is being used, all of the files are being show as 0 Bytes. user@hostname Courses % du -sh * 0B 9781838828882-COMPTIA_SECURITY_PRACTICE_TESTS_SY0501.pdf 0B AWS 156K Ansible-InDepth-WhitePaper.pdf 0B Azure 0B CCNA_2015_D03_S02_T02_STEP.pdf 0B COMPTIA 0B CSC-MASTER-VER 6.0 CIS Critical Security Controls 10.15.2015.pdf 0B CSM 0B Chef 0B EBOOKS 0B ITS-1015 0B ITS-2090 0B ITS-2940 0B Linux Survival Guide 0B O365_Tenant_to_Tenant_Migration_BitTitan_20200329.pdf 0B Python Projects 0B RHCSA 7 0B Raspberry Pi 0B Security+ SY0-401 0B TopTipsOffice365Coexistence_Slides.pdf 0B WS2016Datasheet.pdf 0B Windows Server 2012 R2 Products and Editions Comparison.pdf 0B asteriskthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B cassandra_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B cloudfoundry_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B critical-controls-poster-2016.pdf 0B critical_security_controls_v4.0.pdf 0B css_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B curl-cheat-sheet.pdf 0B desigingawsenvironments.zip 0B elasticsearchthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B ethernetthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B googlebigquerythedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B hadoop_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B javaperformance_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B javascriptthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B kafka_thedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B learningawslambda.zip 0B learningmicrosoftazure.zip 0B maventhedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B microsoft_training_and_certification_poster_32x39.75__jan_2020_Digital.pdf 0B mongodbthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B nerc-cip-mapping-sans20-csc.pdf 0B nerc-cip-mapping-sans20-csc.xls 0B sparkthedefinitiveguide.pdf 0B sshthesecureshellthedefinitiveguide_2e.pdf 0B st-openstack-storage-for-dummies-9781119292531-201606-en.pdf Anyone else run into this issue before?

Question About Safari for Mac Posted: 25 May 2020 10:43 AM PDT Hey guys, Essentially, I have a lot of tabs open on my safari and would like to know if there's a faster way to organize them rather than clicking and dragging each of them around from the top of the web page. Pressing the tab icon on my iPhone safari brings up a card view of all my current tabs, and holding one of them down allows me to drag it to where I want it to go. Clicking the same button (or doing the two finger gesture) on my Mac brings up a similar 'card style' view of all my tabs, but I cannot find if there's a way to drag them around from this screen. I think it would be easier and make a lot more sense if I could reorder them from the expanded card style page (like on my iPhone) rather than dragging each tab around from the top of the screen on a web page view. Is there any way to do this natively or perhaps with an extension? Does this question make any sense? submitted by /u/Kj3212001 [link] [comments]

Recover files Posted: 25 May 2020 05:53 PM PDT Hi, I had some sensitive files on a USB Flash Drive and the drive is formatted as FAT32 so I can use it both on MacOS and Windows. Unfortunately, the most important files in my drive are now corrupted. I don't know how to get them back because when I open the drive, it recognizes it, some files are there but after a few seconds that the drive is open it gets ejected! This means I can't run any data recovery tool successfully (that I know of). I have tried RecoverIt and EasyUS and same results, the drive gets ejected. Do you have any solutions? The data is quite sensitive and important so I want to avoid recovery services as much as possible and preferably do it myself. I connect the USB using an original Apple USB A to C adaptor. Currently running the most recent version of Catalina ( not a beta) on a MacBook Pro 2019. These files were copied from a scanner on a windows computer but as I said the drive itself is FAT32 and also I have an NFTS reader on the Mac. I currently don't have access to windows and really don't want to install it on this Mac unless absolutely necessary. Any solution is greatly appreciated. These data recovery companies charge a lot to do this so... submitted by /u/aliaghaeinia [link] [comments]

Strange behaviour since Mojave. Happens basically only in Keynote and Safari. Sometimes it's just for a millisecond, sometimes it's stuck like that till another action that produces graphical output (like going to the next slide or exiting fullscreen) is executed and everything turns back to normal.

What VM do you recommend on Catalina and why? Looking for USB pass through and copy and paste from VM to host. I know VMware will but I've never used parallels and cont compair performance. Posted: 25 May 2020 04:54 PM PDT View Poll submitted by /u/Blue88Comanche [link] [comments]

Time Machine works horrible for me. Is there a fix? Posted: 25 May 2020 10:29 AM PDT Good day. Here is my setup: - MBP 16 1tb - Keenetic Giga router (it's a widespread brand name here, ex-zyxel something) - HDD, a Seagate 4TB divided in 2 partitions. It was first formatted with Disk Utility to HFS+ (GUID), then split up to same HFS+ for Time Machine partition (3tb) and NTFS partition for media sharing (1tb). I set up my router to share HDD with both AFP or SMB (I can choose), it has dedicated Time Machine support through all the menus so it should be fine. On initial sync TM never actually finishes. It takes like 8 hours to sync up to 400 gb with WiFi, then it stops and I get a "Time Machine must create a new backup" message. It then starts over with no luck. I spent several days googling and it seems really common. Although all fixes (I don't know if they work though) were made in preCatalina time. As I understand, Catalina has changed the way TM files are named (no more .sparcebundle files) so I can't even try. I even had a chat with Apple Support, they advised to check disk with Disk Utility (it's fine) and try again (did not work). Soooo... is there any way I can fix it? submitted by /u/st9ler [link] [comments]

Need help ASAP Posted: 25 May 2020 10:06 AM PDT I'm stuck in a country where Apple store is closed due to the current situation. My Mac Air was bought a year ago. It's pretty new. However now I'm having an issue. I will provide the link for the pictures: https://imgur.com/gallery/njvSdwJ I don't know what to do. I am worried that once Apple opens here, they'll want to replace the entire a screen so that will be almost the same price as my laptop. Did anyone have similar issue? submitted by /u/annaturner33 [link] [comments]
