    Can anyone tell me how to get Apple to change my location to where I actually live?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 07:42 PM PST

    When signing into iCloud or Apple products I often get a message saying somebody from LA is trying to use my account...is there anyway to change that to Mesa/Phoenix Arizona where I reside?

    Moderately-priced one-time purchase password manager with TOTP?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:40 PM PST

    I'm currently using SafeInCloud, synced to my Dropbox. It's been solid, except after updating to Big Sur the browser extensions for autofill have gotten wonky. Can anyone recommend a manager that works across MacOs/iOS, is a one-time purchase, and can save TOTP within password entries?

    Sometimes the font doesn't display correctly after sleeping macOS

    Sometimes the font doesn't display correctly after sleeping macOS. I must close and reopen websites/apps to workaround.

    Do you know how to solve this issue? Thanks!

    Do you guys know how to set up function keys.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:06 PM PST

    I am using a third party keyboard and it recognizes the function key as the option key. I've tried modifier keys, but it doesn't work. Any fixes for this? Maybe software or something. I am using the KBD67 keyboard PCB if you happen to know what I'm talking about

    Does Finder open a new tab for you every time you open a folder?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 08:08 PM PST

    Whenever I open a new folder in the finder (command down) it opens it in a new tab.

    I have the option of "open in tab vs window whenever possible" (forgot the exact name). But this behavior shouldn't be happening.

    Is it happening to anyone else who has this option enabled?

    Big Sur - Stop it greying out the time when Do not disturb is turned on?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:19 PM PST

    As title, when DND is turned on the clock is almost unreadable.

    When it is off the clock is much easier to read.

    I don't like notifications so I don't turn DND off, but I would like to be able to use the clock still.

    Please help! Brand new Macbook kernel panic restarting every time it sleeps.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:22 PM PST

    I'm going to try to make this as concise as possible. Can someone please interpret the below report and let me know what I need to do to fix this? My 16 inch Macbook Pro with AMD Radeon panic restarts every single time it goes to sleep. From the few things I can understand, it appears graphics card related?

    It started on Big Sur 11.0, continued into Big Sur 11.1 after updating a few days ago, continued after internet recovery to Catalina and being forced to wipe my hard disk without a back up. I'm gutted, i'm at a loss, and I just want this to be fixed. This only started a few days ago, but this computer is only a month old, bought just before Christmas. I'm not very literate when it comes to more involved computing things such as this. I've also done a hardware diagnostic and found no error codes from that. Thank you to anyone who can please help.

    Macbook Pro M1 Windows ARM is amazingly fast - End of video

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:11 PM PST

    Why all the talk of Win10 for ARM; why not emulation like during PowerPC years?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:36 PM PST

    I don't understand why there's all this talk of getting Windows 10 for ARM on M1 Macs. During the PowerPC years, when you needed Windows on a Mac you used an emulator like VirtualPC. Yes, there was a performance hit but, it worked and gave you compatibility with the odd Windows app that you might need to run. Also, it seems like if Rosetta 2 can run x86 code at near native speeds, then why couldn't that be harnessed to run a really fast emulator and just run Windows 10 for x86? What am I missing here?

    How Does a Plain Text File Store its Executable status

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:54 PM PST

    When I create a file on my mac, change its permissions so it's executable (chmod 755), push the file to GitHub, then go to another directory in my mac and pull the repository down, that file is still 755 when I check with ls -l.

    Does anyone know how this works? How does the file (just plain text) keep it's permissions after being "copied" from one place to another.

    My Automator Quick Actions are not displayed in my MBP Touch Bar (Big Sur)

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 11:52 AM PST

    I've four quick actions that used to be displayed when I press and hold the fn key. After restarting my Mac this morning, they are no longer displayed. The Touch Bar displayed an empty strip apart from esc. My keyboard settings are all correct—nothing new there.

    If I add and use the Quick Actions button on my customizable control strip, the four quick actions are displayed and usable. So, why are my quick actions not working when I press and hold and fn key?

    Any way to turn my TV into a picture frame?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:30 PM PST

    So I have a 43 inch HDTV 4K that I was to turn into a digital picture frame. Im looking for a way to get said images onto the TV in a customizable slideshow type application to display on the TV.

    I want to be able to control it from a MAC / IOS so I would need to have some kind of application on the TV and or Device ROKU etc that can connect to the wifi to run said application. Does anyone know of a simple way to do this for a TV?

    Messages in Big Sur - no "close conversation", no .ichat files, no good.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 03:19 PM PST

    Hi all - new to the sub, but would love any tips or tricks people can offer to help with this situation...

    My current mode of operation with Apple Messages is to use Messages in iCloud on all my devices except my 2012 Mac Mini running Catalina. The Mini is set to keep messages forever, and so I can delete messages and threads on my iPhone or iPad, removing them from iCloud and all the other devices set for Messages in iCloud, but on the Mini, I have a choice – I can delete them there as well, or I can close the conversation, and apparently in addition to using the chat.db database in ~/Library/Messages, it retains a .ichat archive in /Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive/<dated folder>. If I send or receive a message from a person with a closed conversation, that conversation reopens, and despite having been deleted from iCloud, I still have an archive of the whole thread with that person on the Mini. Spotlight will find messages from people with closed conversations, too. It's a kludge, created by the lack of real archiving in Messages, but up until now, it has worked.

    Big Sur and my new M1 Mac Mini have changed the equation, though. The new Big Sur version of Messages no longer has an option to close a conversation, only delete it, and from what I can tell, also no longer stores messages in the .ichat format in the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages or ~/Library/Messages, but rather only uses the chat.db database in ~/Library/Messages. So I now have no way to archive my texts and iMessages unless I keep my 2012 Mini around, which seems a bit superfluous with the shiny new M1 Mini on my desk.

    What am I missing? Is there a better way to archive texts and iMessages that I'm not seeing? A third party app that can read chat.db and export archives? Any guidance appreciated...
