    Is it save now to update on Big Sur on a 2013 Macbook Pro?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 01:01 AM PDT

    I have read some articles that people had problems with updating to Big Sur on their Macbook Pro 15'' Late 2013. The update often crashed their Macbooks. Is it solved/safe yet? I haven't found any updates.

    Looks like Microsoft finally decided to update their teams icon.

    Encrypted drive accessibility

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:25 AM PDT

    Let's say I have a multi-partitioned external drive, with one partition encrypted and another not encrypted. Once I plug it in and get prompted to enter the password for the encrypted partition, if I selected cancel the encrypted partition won't be mounted and will result inaccessible in any way to the user or any kind of hacking while the drive remains plugged? At the same time the unencrypted partition will mount and be readable/writeable. Am I right about this?

    Thank you!

    BigSur changing theme automatically

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:06 AM PDT

    hello everyone, i've recently found this problem wit my mac: whenever I stop it, reboot it or turn it off, it will default to light theme, which I had never used before. It's a 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro, and it always worked great prior to this.

    It's not a big deal but kinda annoying having to change this setting almost every time I boot it up, and I don't really know what could be provoking this problem, i would love to have some help/advice from someone more expert than me!

    Thanks to everyone in advance!!(and sorry for my wanky english)

    iCloud removed my entire Photos library

    Posted: 01 Sep 2021 01:16 AM PDT

    Yep. I wasn't connected to Wi-fi and I could access over 2000 images. Then, I connected to Wi-Fi. I just saw the combination for my safe image disappear in front of my eyes and now the library is reflecting all the photos I currently have on my phone. Like that helps. I removed my photos from my phone because I wanted to store them on my computer and did so successfully. As soon as I connected to internet the entire image library got wiped and reflects whatever I have on iCloud currently. What the fuck should I do? Apple you fucking suck. This isn't the first time I have problems with photos and disappearing photos.

    How can I stop Media Keys automatically opening Apple Music?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:31 PM PDT

    Hey all

    I've had my M1 MacBook Air for about 6 months now and I love it but one problem is Apple Music automatically opening any time I press a media key. I use Spotify and Colibri for my Music and using the media keys to change songs always results in Apple Music opening and tabbing me out of my active application. It's super annoying.

    Is there a solution to this? Thanks :)

    Problem with login screen on Catalina

    Problem with login screen on Catalina

    I'm on macOS 10.15.7 and I recently did a security update but now my login screen changed to the default wallpaper of Catalina but with a bad quality (you can notice it by zooming in the photo). Is this normal? How can I change it back to my desktop wallpaper?

    Anyone else find the keybindings lacking?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:13 PM PDT

    As someone who is quite system ambidextrous, I've have two major gripes on "power user" keybinds lacking in macOS:

    • Right-click on selected element (Shift + F10 in Windows)
    • Create new Space (virtual desktop) (Windows + Ctrl + D in Windows)
    • Close current Space (virtual desktop) (Windows + Ctrl + F4 in Windows)
    • Night Shift & Do Not Disturb on/off shortcuts

    Has anyone found workarounds for these? I vastly prefer the UX in macOS & these are hardly dealbreakers, but needing to reach for the mouse for things this simple feels antiquated.

    Exporting photos from Photos and preserving metadata. Impossible?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:27 AM PDT

    It appears you can't export photographs from Photos and preserve the metadata (Big Sur; 11.5.2).

    Specifically, it re-writes the "date taken" to the time/date the photograph was exported from Photos. This makes sharing photographs with friends – while keeping metadata intact – apparently impossible.

    Does anybody have a solution, please?

    Screen recording format suddenly incompatible to upload on Twitter

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:12 AM PDT

    I use QuickTime and BlackHole to screen record and it's been pretty convenient to use. Tonight, however, I encountered a problem with BlackHole that needed fixing (I used to use 2ch when all of a sudden it stopped working and I couldn't record internal sound so I referred back to the Youtube video that taught me how to install BlackHole and downloaded it again but in 16ch this time) and somehow I think this may have affected some settings that changed my screen recording's video format?

    My screen recording has been working fine since and now captures audio but whenever I try to upload it on Twitter it says my video file isn't compatible? Which puzzles me because just two hours prior I was able to screen record and upload just fine. I've tried everything from re-saving as a mov file using QuickTime, taking shorter screen recording in case it was the file size, even recording without BlackHole (audioless), so I've deduced the problem has to be something with the video format? I re-uploaded the last screen recording I took when things were still working normally and Twitter uploaded it successfully. It's just these new ones after installing BlackHole 16ch that isn't. I'm stumped. Does anyone have any clue?

    MacBook Air Not Sleeping?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 01:26 PM PDT

    I noticed that when I close my lid after class and come back to my computer an hour or two later it is warm and dead. I'm assuming for some reason it is not entering sleep when the lid is closed even though the logo turns off and I can see the screen turn off when 95% shut. Any clue how to fix this or diagnose this?? Thanks!!

    Is there a way to remove the notification center icon in system tray? [macOS Catalina]

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 07:49 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I'm searching a way to remove the notification center icon in system tray. I don't use it and I want to avoid it. I know it was kind of possible in previous macOS versions but it doesn't work on Catalina.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
