    Safari 15 keeps crashing randomly

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 01:22 AM PDT

    Ever since I updated to safari 15 on my Mac mini M1 it's been giving me a lot of trouble. The app closes so many times a day it's really annoying. Sometimes adding a bookmark with cmd+D will also trigger such a crash. Who the heck decided to ship this?

    Two sets of airpods on 1 mac.

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 01:21 AM PDT

    Hey y'all,

    Hoping that someone can help me. Got a problem that's driving me crazy. I got a MacBook Air (2020) and Airpods Pro. My wife uses the same MacBook occasionally and connects her airpods on her account.

    Every time she does that it kicks my airpods off and shows hers when I log back into my account. This means we both have to constantly connect our airpods after we've switched users.

    I'm logged into my Apple ID and she's logged into hers.

    Is there a way to let her use her account as her own Macbook and for me to do the same with my account.

    Not sure if this is user error or if this is a Big Sur bug? Got a few other issues such as big sur never displaying the correct battery percentage of airpods etc.

    Driving me nuts so any help would be immensely appreciated. If I've somehow missed someone asking this exact question then I apologize for me weakness in the ways of the Googlifuness.

    Edit: There's a new issue atm. Whenever my wife opens her case, it kicks mine off the MacBook and I have to remove hers again and connect mine again. Seems like BigSur Bluetooth issues right?

    Problems with getting Metal to work

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 01:11 AM PDT

    I've been trying to learn Metal, so I tried the examples from apple's website, but on compiling it outside Xcode, I get errors with running the shaders.

    I have all source files under src dir and compiled the files with g++ g++ -framework MetalKit -framework Metal -framework Foundation src/*.m -o main

    When running the code on Xcode, I get the following logs 2021-10-07 12:50:01.190496+0530 MetalComputeBasic[44596:11639964] Metal GPU Frame Capture Enabled 2021-10-07 12:50:01.192034+0530 MetalComputeBasic[44596:11639964] Metal API Validation Enabled 2021-10-07 12:50:01.246498+0530 MetalComputeBasic[44596:11639964] MTLIOAccelDevice bad MetalPluginClassName property (null) 2021-10-07 12:50:01.263152+0530 MetalComputeBasic[44596:11639964] +[MTLIOAccelDevice registerDevices]: Zero Metal services found Compute results as expected 2021-10-07 12:50:01.984997+0530 MetalComputeBasic[44596:11639964] Execution finished Program ended with exit code: 0 But when compiling with g++, I get 2021-10-07 13:41:17.555 main[57416:11728039] Failed to find the default library. 2021-10-07 13:41:17.555 main[57416:11728039] Execution finished

    Preview doesn't save highlights PDF

    Posted: 07 Oct 2021 12:15 AM PDT

    I have this problem, macOS Preview doesn't save highlights I made on a PDF properly. Sometimes it saves them and sometimes not. So when I reopen the saved PDF I always lose something that I highlighted. Does it happen to you too? How can I fix it?

    Guest user safari only bug (help)

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 11:20 PM PDT

    Hello, I have a MacBook from early 2016, and I just turned on guest user with safari only. It promted me to reboot, so I did, and then this screen with a white lock appeared. It turned out to be the firmware password lock, but I don't recall setting any firmware password. A normal reboot, hard reboot, and recovery mode reboot all gives me that screen. Any help?

    What's the easiest way to virtualise MacOS within MacOS?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 08:20 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I have a 2020 M1 MacBook and I'm just wanting to mess around with MacOS virtualisation.

    According to Apple, with every MacOS license you have up 2 additional licenses for virtualisation (I think)

    How can I take advantage of this? What's the best software to use?

    One USB full of macOS installers

    One USB full of macOS installers

    Inspired by a recent post. I think I'll finally stop making these with Monterey, and just rely on Apple servers. Maybe I'll even stop doing clean installs. Old habits die hard.

    How backwards compatible did Macs tend to be?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 07:14 PM PDT

    To use a Windows analogy, starting Windows 2000 the MS Dos Command was screwed up because Windows PC at this point at become too strong that Dos programs were running too fast even if they could be played. Starting Windows Vista, native dos support was removed and you had to use emulators such as DosBox to play games.

    How is it like for Mac? At what point did Mac PCs become to strong that 90s games esp those released when MS Dos was the main rival, started getting screwed up from issues such as too fast or graphical errors because the card was too strong? At what point did native backward compatibility cease to exist?

    MacOS Base System is the only boot option

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 06:21 PM PDT

    Friend was trying to update an older MacBook Air 2014 to El Cap and somehow only has Mac OS Base System in option boot. Did they hose the old hard drive?

    They said something about "restarting to install" but doesn't remember any errors but it said "could not be installed on your computer" and now it won't boot back to the old installation.

    After Big Sur, display freezes for a second every few minutes or so

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 02:07 PM PDT

    EDIT after further testing it seems like this is a google chrome issue

    After upgrading to Big Sur, my display seems to freeze every few minutes. This is very apparent when watching youtube or other videos. The video itself seems to freeze, but the audio seems to be fine? I also notice it when I type sometimes where the letters I type do not update, and then they seem to update all at once.

    I did a ping test and it seems to be stable so I think it is probably a software issue? Has any experienced this before or has any advice?

    Upgrading Parallels Desktop Edu. to Pro Licenses.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 04:27 PM PDT

    I'm a university student using m1 macs, so I can get the student discount for Parallels Desktop. However, I need some features from the pro edition. It seems that customers can upgrade their standard licenses to pros. But how about student licenses?

    The question is: * Am I able to upgrade the Parallels Edu. to Pro? * If I can, will it cost more/less?

    I thought r/MacOS was the most appropriate place to ask this. Thank you in advance.

    Sync dock location between two computers.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 04:07 PM PDT

    I have two Mac's that I use for work. A Mac mini at my desk and a MacBook Pro on the go. I've been annoyed by this for years, but does anyone know if you can sync the docks to match between both machines? I would love to not have to remember where my apps are on the different machines... And I'm too lazy to do it manually. Has anyone done this? Am I the only one too lazy to do it manually?

    Longtime iOS user, new to macOS - Is it possible to adjust the width of the article and text size using Reader View in Safari?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 12:12 PM PDT

    At a minimum I'd like to make the font smaller, throughout the OS in fact.

    Bonus question - Will Live Text (OCR) work on PDF's in the Preview app when Monterey is released?

    Is there anyway to use the Macbook Air just like an Apple TV?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2021 03:51 PM PDT

    I think I know the the answer is "no," but I was just checking to see if I'm missing something. I just bought the computer and was hoping that the Apple TV app was a mirror of using the Apple TV, like downloading Amazon Prime, Netflix and Disney Plus. I assume the only way is to use the browser to access those services and hdmi to full screen.
