    Question about external SSD upgrade

    Posted: 13 May 2020 09:24 PM PDT

    Hey there! I hope you're staying safe.

    I currently have an iMac running macOS El Capitan, and I have an external Samsung T5 SSD plugged into it which is also running macOS El Capitan that I boot off of as my main drive. I prefer the SSD because of how speedy it is, however I need to upgrade my Mac to a newer version of macOS because some apps that I need are incompatible with El Capitan. I know that the newer versions of macOS after Sierra use the Apple File System, and I was wondering if there would be any compatibility issues if I upgraded my SSD's installation of macOS? Do I need to upgrade both the main HDD and the external SSD to a newer version of macOS? If I were to upgrade the SSD to a newer version of macOS that uses the Apple File System but not upgrade the internal HDD would it screw things up? I'm really not sure so I thought I'd come here.

    If someone could give me a basic rundown of exactly what I'd need to do to upgrade my Mac (preferably to macOS High Sierra) I would really appreciate it. Or if you could just point me in the right direction that's great too :) Thanks!

    issue with Logitech m720 triathlon

    Posted: 14 May 2020 12:58 AM PDT

    hello

    when i connect my mouse (Logitech m720 triathlon) to my macbook air via the USB receiver, it works fine but when i try to connect it through bluetooth it stutters every few seconds. This is also the case when i try to connect it to a diffrent mac, the usb receiver works fine but not bluetooth.

    However when i connect the mouse to my phone (android) through bluetooth it works perfectly, which means it seems to be a macos issue.

    I was wondering if there was anyway of fixing this?

    thanks in advance

    Stop Music app opening itself when I take a call on iPhone

    Posted: 13 May 2020 06:33 PM PDT

    Hi all, every time I take a Slack call on my iPhone the Music app on my Mac opens. It's driving me insane.

    Does anyone know how I can stop this happening? or any way to disable the Music app entirely?

    Thanks!

    Only charge to a certain level?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:47 PM PDT

    My work MacBook mainly stays plugged in and if I need to travel there's usually planning if it might need to be more than the 50-80% battery that I'm asking About. I saw on Lenovo they have an option to stop charging at a certain level ( similar to what the new battery level option on the beta does) but I'm wondering since they (Lenovo people) talked about a Linux command too, maybe there's one for OS X? To stop charging at 80 instead of 100? I have the new beta and although I do see times it's not going from 50 or 70 % to 100 as fast, it does seem to go to upper 90s and eventually 100 over an hour or so. Since I know I'm not going anywhere I thought having an option to manually try to keep it at 80 would be good. I'm doing similar with iPhone and iPad by just unplugging at 70-80% - but the MacBook is harder due to docking station and such

    Safari: is there preference option to prompt before quitting when multiple tabs are opened?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 02:41 PM PDT

    I know shift-cmd-T restores tab. But would like a prompt before Safari just quit on accidentally hitting cmd-Q intending to quit something else.

    How can I fix the brightness of Touch Bar? I've already disabled the automated brightness level for both display and keyboard.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 04:16 PM PDT

    When I put a light just near to my MBP, the brightness of Touch Bar automatically increases. Then, if I turn of this light, it automatically decreases.

    p.s. (1) Device: MacBook Pro 13" (2019), OS: the latest version of macOS (Catalina 10.15.4)

    (2) I've already reset the SCM, the situation is still same, it seems it's by design.

    When dual-booting Mojave and Catalina, how do you import settings from Mojave to Catalina?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:22 PM PDT

    Hi,

    After some app issues in Mojave, decided to install Catalina. Due to app compatibility, still need to keep Mojave too. I don't have enough disk space to copy my whole installation. So I just tried to copy user settings in the Migration Assistant. But this failed. All user settings started with their default settings. I am multiply disabled, and need a lot of accessibility fixes to use the computer. And very few of these are under System Preferences > Accessibility.

    Among others, settings to: Stop app opening animations. Stop blinking cursors in NSText. Operate my mouse. Operate scrolling software. Keep scrollbars visible at all times. Use more readable fonts, and no blinking cursors, in terminal windows. And so on. Without these settings, it's hard to navigate the system, and change these settings...

    Also app settings in Firefox and Thunderbird. I can't use Safari or Mail. I should have copied my libraries with the Migration Assistant, but had planned to open my working Mojave Firefox settings and copy the data to the Catalina settings.

    Has anyone found a way to copy the core user settings (System Preferences, defaults, etc.)?

    Intermittent screen corruption/display issue: what causes this?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:03 PM PDT

    My MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) is beginning to have screen display issues.

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZBWF6owJaPx8kQNR8 shows some of the screens I'm occasionally getting - a strange effect where some horizontal lines of the screen are "frozen", sometimes in black, sometimes in whatever the screen was last displaying. But most of the time, this issue isn't there. It's only intermittent.

    I leave my MacBook open on my desk, and don't open/close it. When the issue is visible, it doesn't appear to be hot, and isn't running anything out of the ordinary. Physical manipulation of the device (opening/closing it, tapping it, etc) has no effect. I'm relatively convinced it isn't a physical issue.

    Additional displays are unaffected. I use an HDMI adaptor.

    I'm wondering whether fellow Redditors have seen this issue before and rectified it. Or, if a trip to the Apple Store is required, what sort of price am I likely to expect to pay to get this fixed (is this a video board replacement, a full display replacement, or what?)

    All help very gratefully received. This MacBook's been a lemon ever since I bought it (a bulging battery, a dodgy keyboard, a busted USB-C port) and frankly I'd be very happy not to have to nurse it further, but I guess it still works and is still in support, so...

    Turning off sound notifications in Catalina, getting mixed results.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 02:47 PM PDT

    On my 2015 iMac I went into System Preferences/Sound and unchecked "Play user interface sound effects" to stop system noises from playing (while I am on Zoom). It worked great. But, on my 2020 MacBook Air I did the same thing with no impact; ie, the sounds are still playing. Ideas? Or is this a bug I have to live with?

    Mystery window corruption issue

    Posted: 13 May 2020 06:01 PM PDT

    Hi, I have a weird issue with an app bought from a small developer (who seems to have a solid rep, so I'm inclined to trust). This app kicked a debug message and when I elected to keep working instead, the main window slid up under the Mac menubar and could not be repositioned. (It has a tall toolbar so it's sitting even higher than position "0,0.") Reinstalling, tossing prefs, rebooting did not solve the issue. Finally the developer coded a special version with a "reposition window" command so I could keep using the app.

    However, another issue also came up: a secondary window has a divider which is supposed to be repositionable, but now is not (see screenshot). The programmer told me to toss a prefs file found in the "Containers" sandbox directory, but it is not there. He has no idea why this happened and recommended that I take the issue up with Apple, leaving me to my own devices. Can anyone advise me on what to ask the Apple support people? Or shed any light on what happened or how to fix it? Keep in mind that this is the third fresh install of the app.

    MacOS 10.14.6.

    Trash Can will now empty

    Posted: 13 May 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    My trash can shows an Adobe folder that will not delete. I didn't put it there and there is a message that it is in use. I have killed all Adobe processes and tried to force delete via the terminal and safe mode, but nothing works. I ran CleanMyMac X and it says there is nothing in my trash bin, so I am super confused. Any advice?

    2013 15" MBP restarting/kernel panics

    Posted: 13 May 2020 12:44 PM PDT

    My MBP has been restarting randomly, just started this week. I recently replaced the SSD because the previous one went bad, started getting real slow. It was a Crucial P1 1TB, replaced it with a Sabrent 1TB.

    Anyways, this is the report I got, can anyone translate it and tell me what's going on?

    How to get now playing widget to show up in touchbar?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 04:21 PM PDT

    How to get now playing widget to show up in touchbar?

    Recently got the new Macbook Pro 16 inch and have been playing with the settings for the past few days. I'm not sure what I did or what I changed since then, but I was playing a song on Spotify and in the part of the touch bar dedicated to brightness/volume/Siri, a fifth button showed up where I could tap and control Spotify, pause/play/skip/scrub, even while not in the app. It wasn't a Spotify specific button but had the same symbol as the "now playing" widget, red circle with 3 white bars of different heights. While it was there it was pretty useful, and would be especially so if I could use it for any media running in the background, as I commonly have spotify or youtube running. Anybody know how I can get this back? It isn't one of the options when you configure your touchbar in system preferences.

    Thanks.

    EDIT:

    It showed up again, I did nothing to prompt it, just started playing spotify again. I've added images of what it looks like. The first one is what it looks like in the bar on the right, the second is what it looks like when you click on it. It shows the app that's playing, spotify, a scrubbing bar, previous song, pause/play, and next song. My problem still is not solved, as I would like to know what I have to do to make this show up every time, is it just glitchy or is there something I accidentally did a couple times to cause it?

    Screenshot with widget closed, stuff on the left is for system preferences

    Screenshot when you open it up
