    Adding Adobe Illustrator to the Security & Privacy Automation Menu

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 07:20 AM PDT

    I recently upgraded my Mac to Big Sur 11.4 from an older OS, and got a new Huion Tablet. The pen pressure is working fine on everything except in Illustrator (tested in Photoshop and the tablet app's test mode). All of the tutorials I can find show making changes in the Preferences > Security > Automation menu, but the Illustrator app isn't listed there (or any other apps either). For the life of me I can't figure out how to add this to the menu, can anyone help? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator to see if I missed a permission request on the initial download, but no change.

    cannot type numbers after boot through screen sharing

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 06:47 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I have a weird issue with my Mac screen sharing.

    I have setup my Mac mini and enabled screen sharing.

    The issue is with my account's password. It has letters, symbols and Numbers.

    When I connect through screen sharing from my iMac, and pass the initial screen sharing authentication for username and password, I then reach the login screen of my Mac mini.

    When I start to enter my password, the letters and symbols are entered properly but for some reason I cannot type the numbers.

    eg. if the password was H3lloW0rld! all characters would be entered by when trying to insert the numbers 3 and 0 , then it would not type them, it gives me the "cannot type" sound."

    I also tried with VNC-viewer and the same stands for this app as well.

    I have tested it also from my MacBook with the same result.

    And if I log in to the Mac mini , so the user has already logged on and lock the screen, then I can normally type numbers through screen sharing

    It works when I use a keyboard with numpad, but only through numpad. The numbers in the upper horizontal row still cannot be passed over

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Extracting RPM file: need help!

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 06:00 AM PDT

    I've been given a task by my dad and that is to extract an old RPM file of an interview he did in Zaire a while ago. I've been trying to extract it and so far have had no luck. I've tried using online methods (such as convertio) but have had no luck. I also tried Homebrew but also had poor results.

    What are my options now? Any chance someone can help walk me through what I can do? Any help would be apprecitaed.

    Big Sur and Gmail

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:56 AM PDT

    Since I upgraded to Big Sur I have problems with my gmail account in the osx mail app. During the day, it constantly goes offline (lightning symbol) after my iMac went to sleep. It takes a few minutes to come back online, which is very annoying.

    Is there any fix for this?

    MacOS Finder keeps reverting back to "Back up all the data on your iPhone to this Mac"

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 12:58 AM PDT

    Most of the time I select my my iPhone 11 Pro through MacOS Finder using Wifi it has reverted back to "Back up all the data on your iPhone to this Mac" from the setting I ALWAYS click on "Back up your most important data on your iPhone to iCloud".

    Sometimes I even hit Apply to change it and it then flips back to back up to "This Mac".

    Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

    I have my iPhone itself set to back up to Documents and Data to iCloud.

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:38 AM PDT

    I recently switched from Win10/Ubuntu 20.04. to MacOS. I got myself a new Mac mini with the M1 chip.
    I was used to increase my system font size by about 15% on Windows or Ubuntu. I'm looking for this kind of option for MacOS. Any suggestions?

    Multiple VPN connections with Viscosity?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:36 AM PDT

    Gurus

    Anyone successful used multiple simultaneously VPN connections with Viscosity on MacOS?

    Documentation states it's possible but it's not working for me at all.

    Not a network issue as I can connect to the same VPN servers simultaneously on my window workstation

    Let me know if you're a viscosity user that's doing this

    Why are app store updates so slow?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:26 AM PDT

    Title really says it all really.

    I have an M1 Macbook pro, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD: by no means should it be a slow system. And yet installing apps from the store takes ages: whereas the download goes at line speed (200mbps), actual installation is slow as molasses. Xcode is particularly egregious, taking anywhere from 30 to 60 min to complete after downloading.

    This has always been the case, across devices (Intel and now Arm) and macOS versions (Mojave was slow as well) although it seems to be getting worse with newer releases.

    Has anyone figured out why? App updates on iOS are much faster, even accounting for apps being of smaller sizes.

    Problem with tiling windows

    Problem with tiling windows

    I purchased the Magnet app for window management but I also like to sometimes have my windows in the split mode that macOS comes with and puts them in their own section in mission control. When I right clicked the full screen button it used to say "Tile Window to Left of Screen"

    https://preview.redd.it/me6ul9s45j871.png?width=618&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3f65e5dba869679214eee2fb50e9a002e4e8bf8

    But now it says "Move Window to the Left Side of the Screen".

    https://preview.redd.it/1lkfdvm75j871.png?width=744&format=png&auto=webp&s=787bf8dbae6017f15bb7ee16a8663146797609da

    What happened? Why did this menu change? It is still like this when I delete Magnet. How do I reverse this?

    Howto count faces in a picture on macOS Photos app ?

    Posted: 01 Jul 2021 03:29 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I am trying to search for "portraits" of a given person in Photos. By "portrait" I mean a picture that contains the person's face, and a total of less than N faces : N = 1 is the person is alone in the picture, 2 if the person is alone or with another person max, ...

    This requires being able to "count" how many faces are in a given photo, be they named or still unnamed.

    Any clue of how to achieve this ? It seems that Smart Albums can't do the job...

    Thanks in advance !

    USB 3.x devices acting up on my MBP 2020 i5, 10th gen version (X-Posted from r/mac)

    USB 3.x devices acting up on my MBP 2020 i5, 10th gen version (X-Posted from r/mac)

    Hi folks, how's things?

    About a month ago I got a 2020 MBP, the 10th gen I5 version, and since day one I'm trying to figure it out the machine's behavior regarding my USB 3.x devices. I read this thread where people extensively documented their struggle with USB 2.0 devices randomly disconnecting, however my problem seems to be related but at the same time different.

    What I've noticed is that the Mac's behavior when I plug in USB 3.x devices is very erratic in regards of the speed the devices work. Sometimes they default to USB 2.0 speeds, sometimes they get their full speed (usually when something else is already plugged in), and when I plug a USB 3.0 Hub, they all work fine (even though I have nothing plugged to the Hub).

    Edit: What I'm mostly interested into understand is why the devices default to USB 2.0 speeds when plugged alone to the Mac.

    Let me demonstrate the issue:

    This is an UGREEN USB 3.1 Gen2 NVME Enclosure, plugged in directly to the Mac without anything else attached. It should connect to the Mac at 10Gb/s.

    https://preview.redd.it/0o9tb56lqf871.png?width=1214&format=png&auto=webp&s=a877c25f0a3407540228f0655a361cb0c3e6c619

    With the UGREEN device attached, if I try to plug in something else like this Seagate Expansion device, it works at full speed (but the UGREEN stays at 2.0):

    https://preview.redd.it/a7y2v2umqf871.png?width=852&format=png&auto=webp&s=769ee37c90d4e48ba3048a84a5bd4ed20e7953f2

    If I unplug them all and plug in only the Seagate device, it defaults to USB 2.0 like the UGREEN did earlier:

    https://preview.redd.it/nlrrpexnqf871.png?width=774&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a0a2b7f27b8d5339d98d4ec1cf50065de02890d

    However, with a USB 3.0 Hub connected (here I'm using the one my Lenovo T23i monitor has), the devices get to work at their full speed:

    https://preview.redd.it/796ds4opqf871.png?width=844&format=png&auto=webp&s=9cd80ab0cfebc4a1dc4c1b1c0f04989d2fd1305e

    Tested all this in the company's MBP I use to work, which is the exact same machine as mine, and got the exact same outcome.

    Does anybody know what could be the problem here, or have experienced something similar before? I appreciate every opinion and apologize in advance for any language mistake, English is not my primary language.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: I'm doing some more tests as people kindly give me tips and opinions. I'll consolidate the test results below.

    Test I've done following tip from u/poopmagic:

    Went on and tested the Seagate Enclosure with two different USB 3.0 cables, known-good ones. Here are the results:

    First test: Seagate device plugged in to the Mac alone, directly into the USB C ports (tested all four): Mac set its speed to "Up to 480Mbps" (USB 2.0 speed) with all cables, which is wrong.

    Second test: Seagate device plugged in to the Mac (tested all four ports), but now with the USB 3.0 Hub attached to the Mac as well: Mac set its speed to "Up to 5Gbps" (USB 3.0 speed) with all cables, which is correct.

    Third test: Plugged the Seagate device to the USB 3.0 Hub instead of plugging in directly to the Mac: Mac sets its speed to "Up to 5Gbps" with all cables, which is correct.

    Fourth test: Grabbed another Seagate device, USB 3.0 as well but now a 3.5-inch externally powered, and proceeded to do the same tests I've done before with the other device, and the outcome was the same (First test wrong, the other two correct).

    Quickly Replace App Icons (LiteIcon's Big Sur Alternative)

    Posted: 30 Jun 2021 08:19 AM PDT

    Quickly Replace App Icons (LiteIcon's Big Sur Alternative)

    You must know that in order to replace icons on macOS you have to right-click the app icon -> press "Get info", and then drag and drop the new icon over the small icon near the app's name (on the windows you've just opened).

    Many developers don't update their apps icons to match Big Sur style or they just go with poor design choices, so if you have many apps It can be a little tedious to replace icons every time an app is updated and restores the original one.

    I decided to use macOS Finder search filters to create a small folder that shows only apps and icons, so every time I open that folder and type the name of the app whose icon I wanna replace I only get the results I want (the app file and the icon/s I have saved for it). Something quite similar can be accomplish by writing "name=app_name" in the search field but sometimes these also search for other stuff we are not interested in.

    Search Criteria

    The steps to accomplish the same are explained on Apple Support site, but I also share the "Smart Folder" just in case. (When created it is saved by default in /Users/"User_Name"/Library/Saved Searches - if you wanna place it there, but it will work anyways - you have to uncompress the Zip file and that is. You can pin it to the Finder's sidebar if you wish).

    Quicktime Player stops recording after 10 secs, power nap seems to be off

    Posted: 30 Jun 2021 05:30 PM PDT

    When I try recording the screen, it will not record past 10 secs and doesn't save. This just started (in the past couple days) and I expect it to stop recording when I want as it used to be like that. I have checked to make sure Power Nap is off, it is. So, what could be the problem now?
