    Mac Mini M1 (2020) suddenly crashed and not starting up after the crash. Why could this have happened? (PS- was not using any heavy software just before it crashed)

    Parallels Desktop supports Mac M1 natively

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 12:00 AM PDT

    Hello, first time posting here.

    So Parallels Desktop is officially supporting M1 macs, allowing users to run arm base windows 10 with the windows Arm insider program.

    But the problem is, if Microsoft decides to end the insider program, and made the official Arm windows 10 not compatible with Virtual Machines, does it means that M1 macs will have no way to boot into windows? Is there any method for applications to translate normal x64 windows to run it on Mac?

    (I do think that booting into windows in macOS is a plus feature.)

    Edits: I meant to say virtualise windows not boot into windows, sorry for the unclear statement.

    Time Machine sparsebundle on NAS is empty, doesn't load when Entering Time Machine

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 01:32 AM PDT

    Since about three months, I have a Time Machine backup on a Synology NAS. The process always worked flawlessly, regular backups, verification etc. But today I needed to go back to find a deleted file, and found that apparently there is nothing on the sparsebundle. When I Enter Time Machine and go to any previous point in time, it just gets stuck on "Waiting" and "Loading…". So I mounted the sparsebundle and… there is nothing on it. Info says the bundle is 542GB in size. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

    Why is spaceman (space manager) flooding my ring buffer log?

    Posted: 15 Apr 2021 12:39 AM PDT

    In recent months I feel that my machine is not as snappy as it used to be, and for some reason apfs founds itself in the need of cleaning up space. I've done some tmutil to clear up snapshots but it was (as I suspected) no help at all.

    diskutil apfs list show this

    | ==================================================== | APFS Container Reference: disk2 (Fusion) | Size (Capacity Ceiling): 1027680514048 B (1.0 TB) | Capacity In Use By Volumes: 881028571136 B (881.0 GB) (85.7% used) | Capacity Not Allocated: 146651942912 B (146.7 GB) (14.3% free) 

    Thus there is (albeit not optimal amount of) free space, still this is showing up:

    Will home sharing / Media sharing use much data?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 10:58 PM PDT

    Hello, I was wondering if home sharing / Media sharing use much data?

    I was trying to get my Mac to connect to an Apple TV (for use in hotels) with out wifi but the pier to pier thing seems to only work with iOS/iPadOS and not with macOS.

    So I through maybe I could use mobile hotspot in order to make the connection to the TV.

    M1 AIR (16gb ram) OR M1 PRO (8gb ram)?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:27 PM PDT

    a little background about me: I do photoshop, video editing on DaVinci Resolve, web design.

    I am torn between the 2. for the purposes I do above, which do you think is a better choice for me?

    price difference is about $200 with PRO costing more.

    Running pirated programs through Parallels

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 07:58 PM PDT

    I am planning on buying a new Mac with M1 chip, I currently own a Mac with Bootcamp so I have no trouble running pirated programs in it. Now that the only way to run Windows programs in a Mac is to use programs such as Parallels, is it possible to run these programs?

    Can't Ping a Windows 10 machine from my MBP

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 07:42 PM PDT

    I am trying to RDP into my windows desktop on local network. I was able to do this once and the remote desktop application doesn't work anymore. I tried using parallels and had it working once and then black out. I can't even ping my windows machine from my macbook. I can ping the macbook from the windows machine though. I tried to turn off the firewall on windows machine but that didn't work either. Any ideas in figuring this out would be appreciated. I am running macOS Catalina 10.15.7

    How to turn off app switcher (triggered by mouse wheel button)

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 12:15 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I bet you can't answer my question !

    When using a mouse with my Mac (a basic Logitech bluetooth one), pressing the wheel (which is also a button) triggers the « app switcher ». This behavior makes any 3D modeling / CAD softwares unusable (they often rely on that button to move the camera).

    How to disable that ?

    Outlook + Big Sur = Indexing issues (tried stuff before to fix it with no luck)

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 03:42 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I'm running Big Sur 11.2.1 and I'm experiencing issues with Outlook search, i.e. no results are coming up. Sorry if this is a repeat — I did a reddit search in this sub for indexing + outlook but only got this result (https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/k5wv8a/big_sur_spotlight_issues/) which didn't give an answer. This first started a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that the past few weeks worth of emails were no longer coming up in the search engine. This might have been around the time that I installed Big Sur, but my memory is fuzzy. I followed the instructions here (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_outlook-mso_mac-mso_o365b/outlook-365-macos-version-1644-20121301-does-not/d0ee6a1a-231f-421d-91ec-df707bef7866) and other places, but now there are no search results. I let this go for a couple of weeks in case it was just taking a while (?)

    Tried again today with the instructions above but still no search results. I did notice when I clicked on the spotlight symbol in the upper right corner immediately after following all steps that it did say something like "index" or "indexing", with a 25% complete loading bar. But then it said nothing and still no email search within Outlook.

    HOWEVER, when I type in the name of someone who emailed me (or an email topic, etc.) the emails do come up within Spotlight, just not on Outlook.

    So really, my questions is 1) Is this a Spotlight or Outlook problem and 2) how in the world do I fix this?

    Thank you in advance, Mac experts!

    [Macbook] How do i recover lost tabs from browser? getting some energy alert

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:57 PM PDT

    When i turned on my macbook today all my tabs were gone, i dont know if i closed the safari window by accident, thus erasing all tabs. But im also getting a message saying my current webpage is using too much energy? i had a ton of tabs, like 50 of them. Is there anyway to retrieve them? is safari only hiding them because of the energy issue?

    im careful always to quit safari so i dont loose the tabs but im not sure what happened this time

    Big Sur - Speech to Text switches to different language sometimes?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:15 PM PDT

    I use the "Speak selection" (System Preferences > Accessibility > Speak Content > Speak selected) feature quite often. I just upgraded to Big Sur, I know I'm way behind, and I've found a few things that's slightly annoying. The biggest one is that if text appears to be in a different Language, the voice switches to a best guess language to match the text. This was not the case in all previous versions of macOS. How do I disable it?

    The other two is that once the voice starts speaking, the selected text is automatically "unselected" and when you have something like "ThisIsSomeRandomTextToProveMyPoint" it starts spelling out the word. Any idea if there's a setting to change this?
