    Mac running in the background and getting hot

    Posted: 14 May 2020 10:58 PM PDT

    So yesterday night I watched a few youtube videos, locked my MacBook, and slept. When I woke up, I hear the MacBook fans running, I open the mac and it's quite warm to touch. When I open, nothing came on the screen, then I long-pressed the power button and it shut down and then I booted it again and its working now.

    What would have happened? How do I know what caused it or what app caused it? Not a lot of apps were running when I closed it.

    How to restore the default theme in Finder(MacOS Katalina)

    My girlfriend changed the background color in Finder in something light and the name of the files and folders changed automatically in black. Also she hit the button to save as default and now we can't change all these back to the system default. Does anyone knows how to restore the theme to default or how can i change the color of file's name to white?

    Right Click Glitch

    Posted: 15 May 2020 12:20 AM PDT

    Give access to my public folder ONLY on local network to a macos user

    Posted: 14 May 2020 11:39 PM PDT

    I used this method with SMB access, using Windows 10's folder credentians (which is really stupid, why would I be giving my admin's profile credentials?)

    Then of course the client on Macos was able to access both my public profile and my userprofile, having r/w access too.

    How do I allow client with MacOS to only access my public folder on my Windows 10 pc.

    Windows 10 and macos client have local network connection.

    Need a favour from someone who has a MacOS

    Posted: 14 May 2020 11:10 PM PDT

    Hello, I have written a WordPress plugin and I need to test it on a MacOS browser. I don't have a MacOS, only Windows OS and the libraries & kinko's are closed so I cant use their MacOS public computers.

    Testing the plugin would only take 10 minutes and would simply involve logging into the sandbox website and using the visual builder editor. I really just want to test that the editor loads on a MacOS browser (safari or chrome) and that the user can build a simple nav menu (the plugin lets people build headers for their website) without any horrific bugs occurring.

    If anyone would be so kind to give up 10-30 minutes of their time to do an audio skype and screenshare test of the plugin I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure what I could give in return apart from gratitude and ofcourse the plugin for free if you want it. Please PM if you would like to help :)

    Uninstall macOS Mojave and macOS Sierra

    Posted: 14 May 2020 06:56 PM PDT

    Hey there, so I'm currently trying to free up some storage space and I noticed I have "Install macOS Mojave" and "Install macOS Sierra" as the two largest apps. Do I need them on my laptop? Can I uninstall them and would there be any repercussions? Thanks!

    Downloaded Mojave and apps are crashing + slower?

    Posted: 14 May 2020 09:24 PM PDT

    I was running my 2015 Macbook Air on macOS El Capitan until literally last night when I decided to upgrade it to macOS Mojave. The updates were cool and everything, but when I tried playing games on Steam and Minecraft, it kept freezing and crashing. I kind of regret it now, since it was fine before on El Capitan. I read about downgrading macOS's, but I don't have a TM backup and I don't want to erase my Mac's disk on my own. Any solutions?

    HELP! Migration Assistant

    Posted: 14 May 2020 08:54 PM PDT

    Attempting to migrate from an external hard drive using Migration Assistant on Catalina. Upon launching (which closes windows and logs out my account). Before I can set up the actual migration, Migration Assistant disappears and I am back on the login screen. How can I fix this?

    Fun fact - it is hypocritical of Apple to cut support for 32-bit execution on MacOS Catalina, because the installer itself uses 32-bit execution while booting.

    Posted: 14 May 2020 08:24 PM PDT

    Source: independent research

    If you try to make a VM of Catalina on, well, Catalina, using an open source software like VirtualBox, the installer will repeatedly crash on startup as a result of not being able to use 32-but execution, as Catalina has that disabled down to a science.

    The same goes for any other version of MacOS, including all versions between 10.5 and 10.14. And yes, I tested them all. No, it definitely wasn't because I didn't realize this until now. I was just...making sure.

    It is impossible for Catalina to even be installed without it, so what's the deal with Apple removing it? :(

    “The version of MacOS on the selected disk needs to be reinstalled”

    Posted: 14 May 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    So I'm wanting to install Mojave on a separate partition on my MacBook Air 2019 because I would like to run some 32bit Mac apps, plus i miss the dashboard. I have Catelina installed as my main OS and would prefer not to have to get rid of it. I used "sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia –volume /Volumes/YourExternalDriveName" to create an install USB, what am I doing wrong?

    Really odd Catalina (10.15.4) bug when using the "hidden file reveal" shortcut (Cmd+Shift+.) with a file on the desktop - seems to increment the number of documents with each press (don't think that documents are actually being created)

    Apple Mail

    Posted: 14 May 2020 03:52 PM PDT

    i have a mac that when i try to use the email app it just hangs and won't bring in email or send.

    i have tried this with different accounts and also different user profiles.

    nsurlsessiond taking cpu after upgrade to Catalina

    Posted: 14 May 2020 07:21 PM PDT

    Okay, so I've noticed that this process is taking lots of cpu power after upgrading from sierra to catalina. Do y'all think that I should try to go through the effort of trying to stop it or should I just wait it out? Would this process ever stop? this happened another time I upgraded to catalina and I don't remember how I got it to stop. what do y'all think?

    Time Machine Help!

    Posted: 14 May 2020 05:50 PM PDT

    So I've had a time machine for the last few years and it has been faithfully providing wifi and been my time machine back ups for some time. As of may 1, it has stopped being accessible as a drive for back ups.

    I have a 2008 iMac running OS X Server and I'm trying to get that as a time machine destination in the interim of getting a better Time Capsule and wifi solution. My problem is after I select the disk in Time Machine settings, it tries to start a back up and then it fails and says the disk cant be accessed because there was an issue with the network user name and password. The interesting thing is the two macs I'm trying to do this are hard wired through the still semi functioning time capsule.

    Should I try this again going through the ATT provided modem/router?

    Also looking for suggestions on a good, not super expensive time machine compatible network drive

    Safely updating 3rd-party fonts

    Posted: 14 May 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    I just noticed that a monospaced font I use, Fira Code, was updated recently on Github. Should I just install it directly using Font Book (and expect that the app will delete the older version of the font), or should I delete the font first and then import the update?

    Mission Control shortcuts stop working after reboot

    Posted: 14 May 2020 02:22 PM PDT

    Hello there!

    I have a lot of workspaces and I set up shortcuts to navigate between workspaces #1, #4 and #9.

    After reboot shortcut for workspace #9 stopped working, but the shortcuts for workspace #8 or for the additionally created worspace #10 worked just fine.

    After some time I got a set up with 10 workspaces. And again, after I restarted my laptop the shortcut for the last workspace stopped working. And now the shortcut for the workspace #9 works just fine, as it is for workspace #11.

    WTF?!

    Please, help :D
