    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 09:27 PM PDT

    Hi, I accidentally downloaded the new version of garageband, the old version was on my computer and seems to be replaced by this new one. Is there any way to get the old one back? Like is it anywhere on the computer or something or is it just gone forever now?

    Mac Volume Low after FaceTime call

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 09:02 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I usually facetime my friend on my MacBook Pro while I workout with him, and I've noticed everytime he ends the call, my Mac volume stays low even after the call ends. However, when I end the call, the volume returns to normal. Does anyone else have a similar problem?

    Thanks!

    Non apple apps icon keeps bouncing and app launches after some time on macOS Catalina

    Posted: 28 Jul 2020 12:45 AM PDT

    Hi, I have Macbook Pro with macOS Catalina. It was working fine till this morning when I started up my macbook, I noticed a little more than usual time to boot and after login,the startup apps took some time more than usual to launch. Then I opened a file with vlc and it just kept bouncing but vlc app never opened. Then i tried some other apps and all the non apple apps keeps bouncing. I tried with notes and photos app but they launched right away as usual. I also tried safe mode but same thing happened in safe mode. I did notice something, normally safe mode takes some time to load up but my macbook went into safe mode like instantly. Anyway problem was there as well. I don't know why its happening. It has 16 gb of ram. And It has pretty much memory (at least for vlc 😏). Any idea why thats could be happening? Thanks.

    Question about Keychain

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 10:21 PM PDT

    I decided to explore the passwords I have saved on Keychain Access and found an item called "<unknown>". This one stuck out to me because while the other passwords say they're "application passwords" or "web form passwords", this one says "SHA256". I have a pretty basic knowledge of computers but I think that's a cryptographic hash(?). Is that supposed to be there? If anyone could help me or see if they also have that saved in their keychain that would be great.

    macOS Mojave slow internet

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 07:19 PM PDT

    My MacBook Pro has extremely slow internet for the past couple of days, all other devices in the house run fine, including another Mac. It's not a problem from the ISP or the router side, it's from the MacBook but I don't know what it is exactly.

    It won't even let me play a youtube video or upload anything to DropBox. I've tried everything I could think of apart from upgrading to Catalina, as I want to stay on Mojave.

    Any ideas what could be causing this?

    Get info windows open father apart suddenly

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 04:38 PM PDT

    I compare the folder sizes of multiple folders often. When I used to compare 2 or more folders by selecting them than command + , they would open flush next to each other. However, now when I do it the folders open but there's a sizable space between them.

    I'd like to get them back to opening flush against each other, I'm sure it is some sort of setting but I can't seem to locate it.

    Any advice would be appreciated thank you

    Generic "iWorks vs LibreOffice" post: What have your experiences been with the two?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 04:13 PM PDT

    Title. I have been using Microsoft Office 2011 since I got my MacBook Pro in 2013. Recently I noticed that it is very slow and can be glitchy at times, which makes sense as it is a 9 year old software. As I only need office apps for very basic needs (e.g., proofreading documents from work, some PowerPoint presentations, etc.) I was looking into the free options available. I have been messing around with both iWorks and LibreOffice.

    I want to like Pages more than LibreOffice, however, it seems like LibreOffice gets the formatting of MS Word documents spot on most of the time while Pages always seems to be a little off. I do like KeyNotes better than the "Power Point" on LibreOffice. At the end of the day I'll probably just end up using a mixture of the two.

    I guess I was just curious as to what others think about the two office apps. I appreciate any replies!

    VPN : frequent disconnections on macOS Catalina (10.15.6)

    VPN : frequent disconnections on macOS Catalina (10.15.6)

    Hello,

    I currently have an L2TP over IPsec VPN configured on my Mac (the built-in VPN option of macOS Catalina, in System Preferences > Network), and I experience frequent disconnections.

    I can connect to the VPN, but at regular intervals, it disconnect and reconnect few seconds after (like in the following screen capture) :

    Is it a known bug ? Have you experience something similar ?

    Thanks.

    EDIT : I tested on a Windows Computer connected to same network as my Mac, and it's working fine with stable connection. So the problem occurs only on macOS.

    Can I use a 4K TV as a monitor for my Mac Mini which doesn't support 4K?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    I have a spare 2011 Mac Mini which I want to use primarily for running my media center, while being connected to a TV.

    According to the below link, the 2011 Mac Mini does not support 4K displays.

    I am intending to buy a 4K TV and use it as the only monitor plugged into this Mac Mini. Can I use the 4K TV at 1080p with this Mac Mini?

    If yes, then will the quality be bad? I am quite finicky about video quality.

    https://support.apple.com/kb/sp632

    This is from the official Video Support section:

    • Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
    • HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
    • DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (included)
    • Support for dual display and video mirroring

    is there any way to hide recent apps on the dock, but keep the separator in place between your normal dock apps and your open apps that aren't kept on the dock?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 02:23 PM PDT

    Sorry if this is worded poorly - I like the separator between my normal dock apps and my other opened apps, but I do not like them remaining there after I close the app. I know there are ways to put spaces between app icons, but I really like the actual separator line and I am wondering if anyone knows a way to have the separator in place when other apps are open, but not show the 'recent apps'?

    Macbook Pro A1278 Mid 2012 13"

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 02:56 AM PDT

    I've noticed that my Macbook has been shutting down when I've been closing the lid. The disc drive will make a noise as it does when you power the machine on.

    Any ideas on what this code means?

    I had my mac repaired at an Apple Authorised repair centre recently and I noticed they snapped the corner of the connector slightly.

    0 kernel: (AppleSMC) Previous shutdown cause: -102

    It points that there is an over-voltage?

    Catalina WiFi disconnection possible fix

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    I recently upgraded to Catalina from Sierra and had to deal with the constant WiFi disconnection issue that seems to be affecting many others.

    General FYI I'm in Germany with a 2015 MacBook Pro. After looking online for days and not seeing anyone post a possible solution, tinkering with my WiFi has lead to a fix that' has prevented any disconnects for the past 3 days.

    My router's original settings was to auto switch the main WiFi connection between 2 and 5 GHZ and I changed the settings to have separate 2G and 5G SSID options to connect to. I now have the MacBook connected only to the 2G and that has seemed to fixed it.

    Not sure if the issue was the router auto switching between the two frequencies or if it's simply because 2G doesn't trigger whatever the issue is in Catalina but I finally don't have to reconnect to my WiFi 10 times a day.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Ever since I updated my laptop to Catalina, if it ever sleeps the screen remains blank and re-starts by itself. This has been happening constantly. Don't know what is causing it. Please help I don't know what to do.

    Is it possible to get MST working on a MacBook Pro 16”?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2020 12:52 PM PDT

    I have 2 monitors. The first monitor, which supports daisy-chaining through USB-C (Displayport), is connected to my second monitor through a displayport cable but MacOS doesn't seem to support MST from my findings online.

    Is it possible to get it working at all?
