    Mac OS system data taking up 65.51GB

    Mac OS system data taking up 65.51GB

    Quite new to Mac OS as I have sent my whole life on windows which I somewhat mastered in an amateur sort of way. I like to understand everything about my computer to optimise its performance, uses and storage. I was in the disk utility app and I noticed the Mac OS software is taking up 65GB and I thought that was quite excessive. Ive read a lot of other posts on AFPS and suggestions on problems with Time Machine. Can someone please explain in laymen's terms what is going on. Is it normal for Mac OS to take up 65GB? How does AFPS work? Is there anything I can do to gain more space on my internal SSD? Thankyou

    Im on the latest version of Catalina. This is what my Disk Utility is showing me right now.

    Text replacement glitch?

    Posted: 25 May 2020 01:23 AM PDT

    Hello everyone.

    I have a problem I don't know how to solve.

    If I type "wa" it's supposed to be replaced with "WhatsApp" but it comes out as "WhatsAppatsApp" and it's the same with all of the other ones I have. The last few letters are repeated.

    I already tried deleting them and adding them again and it didn't work, as well as deleting them, restarting my mac, adding them again.

    It's a Macbook Air early 2015 if it matters.

    Thanks!

    iStat not reporting fan speed or processor temp

    Posted: 24 May 2020 08:28 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    New MBP 2020 10th gen

    Installed iStat and I am not getting any processor temp or fan control reported. It is only showing me SSD temp. Scoured the options and I am still not seeing anything that would enable this. Any suggestions would be great.

    Also in case it matters, it was installed via their site, not the App Store.

    Audio balance one side only? (left speaker buzzing and bad) (normal approach not working)`

    Posted: 24 May 2020 08:11 PM PDT

    I spilled water on my computer (yes, actually!) and my left speaker stopped working. It buzzes badly. So I want to use right speaker only.

    If I drag the audio balance slider to one side, it bops itelf right back to the middle and the volume cuts itself in half. Not what I want! And if I mute one side in Audio MIDI, it unmutes itself again afterwards.

    What can I do to permanently disable left speaker?

    Thank you!

    Menu selection flash time?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 07:31 PM PDT

    I'm watching system 7 videos and I noticed that when you select an item from the menu in Catalina the selected item flashes like one time or so it seems like it. I noticed that in system 7 the item selected flashes lots of time. Is there a terminal command that would allow me to increase the number of flashes like in system 7?

    Whenever I install Vsts not using an installer, Catalina won't allow me to use them. Is there a way to fix this? I kinda depend on them

    Help with restoring data to Mid 2010 MacBook

    Posted: 24 May 2020 01:19 PM PDT

    Hello, I need anyone's help with getting the data back on my fiancées laptop. She has a mid 2010 MacBook, A1342, and the other day she went to turn it on and the OS X utilities screen popped up. When she pushed reinstall OS X it says that the drive, "Recovery HD," is locked and so she cannot do anything from there. She is about to start grad school in the fall and needs it back, with all the data, because her thesis and other important items were on there. I have tried all that I can with my technical abilities and have failed so far.

    Assuming the data can be salvaged, and with everything going on in the world as to spend as little as possible, we would like to still make this laptop work by replacing the HDD to SSD. Would it be easier to try and salvage the data by putting the HDD on a dock, connecting it to my MacBook Pro (late 2013 model), and then transferring the data with some program to the new SSD? Or can I just send it off to Apple for them to do it?

    Also this was the SSD I was thinking of getting https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/S3D7E3G250/ Any recommendations for a different one, and for a docking station, would be appreciated too!

    I have never had to do this so I'm pretty lost right now and just looking for any kind of guidance, thank you!

    I've gone here for a download link, but when it opens the appstore, it just goes to the front page.

    Battery Logo Problem on macOS Catalina

    Posted: 24 May 2020 03:38 PM PDT

    Battery Logo Problem on macOS Catalina

    I've installed OS X Catalina on Windows 10 through WMWare Workstation 15. And I cannot see my laptop's battery logo (and percentage) even though I've enabled the ''report host's battery status to the guest operating system'' feature. Is there any way to solve it? I'd appreciate any help from anyone.

    WintoUSB + Windows 10 not booting on new 2020 MacBook Pro (but does on all other Macs), It boots to Mac logo and I get “The version of macOS on the selected disk needs to be reinstalled” error message in MacOS Recovery mode.

    Posted: 24 May 2020 03:26 PM PDT

    I have a new 2020 MacBook Pro (with the improved keyboard) and am running most recent version of Catalina. I used WintoUSB to install Windows 10 on my Sandisk Extreme SSD so I can EFI boot Windows 10 when I hold down "Option" during start up (https://youtu.be/sfcNR2l7ios works works works). I have tried this on multiple different MacBooks and ever single time, it EFI boots into Windows 10 by first displaying the Windows logo. HOWEVER this does not work on my new MacBook Pro. Instead of the Windows logo I get the Apple logo, it boots into the MacOS Recovery mode, and displays the error "The version of macOS on the selected disk needs to be reinstalled". I have tried everything:

    • Reinstall MacOS from MacOS Recovery)
    • Internet Recovery (Command-Option/Alt-R)
    • Install the OS that originally came with my Mac (Shift + Option/Alt + Command R)
    • Reset PRAM (Restart, hold down Command-Option-P-R during boot. Wait for the chimes and let go.) and reset SMC as well)
    • Startup Security Utility -> Click "Allowed" for external USB volumes and changed security to Medium.

    I'm very close to exchanging this MacBook because of this. I don't want to but I will have to.

    Does anyone have any idea on how to resolve this issue and get my MacBook Pro to allow me to boot the Windows 10 OS from my SSD? Again, ALL other Macs I've tried this on works (and they didn't have to change any settings).

    Another way to look at it… what would cause the error "The version of macOS on the selected disk needs to be reinstalled" when the MacOS isn't even installed on that SSD?

    Please Help. Losing my mind.

    Have there been attempts to reverse-engineer the Aqua desktop environment to get it to work on other operating systems?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 02:23 AM PDT

    Basically the title. The one thing that I particularly like about macOS is it's Aqua DE and the handy functioality that comes with it (screenshots, dock, multiple desktop functionality, window decorations and a few other things and it's polish and beauty overall). So have there been any code leaks from which versions of Aqua could be adapted to work on Linux?

    Macbook Pro Catalina Wifi issues

    Posted: 24 May 2020 05:55 AM PDT

    My wifi keeps disconnecting even though my other devices are working fine on the same WiFi. I found a few solutions but they are for previous versions.

    I wonder if anyone here has had issues with Catalina specifically and how did they fix it?

    I'm currently on Catalina 10.15.4 version if that helps!

    Trying to boot from external after internal died. Every start up brings me to “macOS Utilites”

    Posted: 24 May 2020 10:57 AM PDT

    I've done EVERYTHING and I still can't get the os to load. Erased the dead internal. Brand new out of the box partitioned 4tb external(yes correct formatting), did "restore from time machine" onto said new external with partition just for the os as destination. Did the "Reinstall macOS" and internet recovery option... after it installs on new external, restarts... Apple logo-loading bar, boom back to Utilites menu. I even restored a partition of the new external from the "os x base system" hoping that would trigger a log in screen. Nope.

    Tried all the other standard options the internet gives at least 3 times...Command-r, alt command-r, Safe mode, reset the vram option.

    The most I've gotten is a second of the set up screen as if it's ready to greet me like a fresh computer/os install then it blinks away and the Utilites screen comes up.

    Can anyone tell me how to really make it boot from an external drive? There's obviously something all these people on the internet and Apple haven't taken into account when they give the directions on how to boot from an external, it's that a persons internal hd might be dead.

    How do I get to the "fresh install" set up screen?

    2012 11" air- dead(and erased) internal ssd still inside.

    Don't give me any website tutorials on "how to boot from an external hard drive" I've seen it, they are all the same copy pasted info and it didn't work.

    Time Machine backup much smaller than estimated size

    Posted: 24 May 2020 06:45 AM PDT

    My estimated size was about 103GB. The actual backup was only 13GB and took about 5 minutes. When I've made backups in the past, it probably takes around an hour to backup the full ~100gb. It still looks like everything was there as far as I can tell though. Why is it so small?

    Time machine is not showing older backups

    Posted: 24 May 2020 05:24 AM PDT

    Time machine is not showing older backups

    My time machine gui only shows the last three days of backup. I already did a "Full Reset of Time Machine" as described here: http://oldtoad.net/pondini.org/TM/A4.html

    The external ssd backup drive is fully working. No problems there. And if I mount the drive and open the folders there are actually all backup sets there (back to last year), but they are just not shown...

    A couple of days ago I got the message that there is not enough space on the destination drive. Is it possible that this caused the problem? And is there any chance to resolve this?

    Mac Screen Saver not Activating

    Posted: 24 May 2020 09:08 AM PDT

    As the title says my screen saver is not coming on while playing music. My mac spends a great deal of time in my garage with me just playing music. In the past the screen would go dark and music would happily play in the background and battery seems to last quite a long time. I have noticed lately that the screen never goes dark and battery usage is high. I haven't changed anything that I know of. Any idea of what I can do to fix this?

    MacBook Air6,2, Catalina 10.15.4, screen saver set to "album artwork" and start after 5 minutes,

    Time machine restore to newer OS?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 07:17 AM PDT

    My MacBook hard disc failed on Friday but I was able to perform a Time Machine backup right before it choked.

    A new hard drive arrived this morning and I am wondering the best way to do the installation. When I boot the laptop and press CMD+R then it gives me the option to download the latest OS. If I do it this way, can I run Time Machine after to restore my files or does it have to be using the same version of OS as the backup?

    Alternatively, if I install from the Time Machine backup, can I upgrade to the latest OS after it's done?

    Objective: Latest OS and my files restored.

    Thanks

    Should I delete everything in my downloads folder to make more storage space?

    Posted: 24 May 2020 06:38 AM PDT

    Edit: recently found out that most files here are stored somewhere else? So they are duplicates that I don't need?
