    Can I force 60Hz on external display

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 12:01 PM PDT

    Hello, I have an Intel MacBook pro connected to a Thunderbolt 4 docking station. I have two 4k monitors connected via Display Port.

    My issue is that the refresh rate on one of the monitors will max out at 30 Hz. If I reboot, both will work at 60 Hz. After a little bit, with the mac going to sleep, one of the two monitors will revert to 30 Hz and cannot be set back to 60 Hz. It is random which of the monitors will revert to 30 Hz.

    When I connect my Windows laptop to it, I don't have the same issue.

    Wondering if there is anyway to force 60Hz since it has issues recognizing it. I have tried Switchresx but hasn't helped since the Mac must be detecting that it is not possible. However I know it is, as all that is needed is a reboot. It would seem that the hardware is not an issue since it works after a reboot and works with my Dell Windows laptop.

    Equipment used

    Macbook Pro 16 Intel Razer Thunderbolt 4 dock Two Dell 32 inch 4k monitors Usb c to Display port adapters

    Any ideas?

    Need guidance on how to install newer OS on my En Capitan Macbook Air

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 10:35 PM PDT

    Hello!

    I have a Macbook Air from early 2015. I still have El Capitan running on it, due to an issue I once had when trying to download, at the time High Sierra. Now I need newer versions to download a few games and programs. I tried this last year, but when I tried to download older OS versions from the App store, I only got a small file instead of the real file.

    Is it too late to do this? Or is it a way?

    Safari Floating Window similar to PiP?

    Posted: 09 Oct 2021 12:41 AM PDT

    Is there a way to have a safari floating window open on top of other apps that are in full screen?
    I need to make college notes and im using one note in full screen and my textbook is open in safari and its a hassle to keep going back and forth every time i need to look at the textbook.
    i usually use an external desktop for something like this but i am travelling right now and dont have access to one.
    is there a way to open a little floating safari window on top of the other open window that's in full screen so i can put it in a corner and keep making notes?

    thanks!

    Unable to import or play MP3's via iTunes

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 05:10 PM PDT

    Evening. I have recently ran into an issue where I'm unable to neither import or play any MP3's via iTunes (Music app on Big Sur) on both my mid-10's MBP (running recently reinstalled High Sierra 10.13.6, iTunes version 12.8.3.1) and late-12 Mac Mini (OC-Patched Big Sur 11.6, Music version 1.1.6.37).

    My intentions were to import a few playlists onto my old iPhone 6+ (which I have just tried resetting, version iOS 12.5.5), as I currently can't let myself to continue pay for my Spotify subcription. The MP3 files play just fine via VLC app on MacOS, and my sister's Windows 10 laptop.

    I have not yet tried importing my files to iPhone via Windows PC, and I'd like to avoid that option.
    I did try redownloading the files, and did try to import different MP3 files that I have had imported succesfully in the past, but that didn't work out.

    I'll be including the video, to show exactly what's happening. Hopefully someone will be able to help me figure all this out.

    Wipr Adblocker is blocking Safari YouTube ads once again, with no Privacy violation

    Posted: 09 Oct 2021 02:01 AM PDT

    Now you can enable Wipr extra section in Safari settings. It says the extension is able to read all website data. Once you enable this specific extension only for YouTube you can safely browse internet without privacy concerns.

    Old iMac with no OS on it.

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 09:57 PM PDT

    So I have an old IMac version OS X 10.11.6. I got it from my niece because she wipe it clean (complete restore) but didn't back it up 🤦‍♂️. The iMac has no operating system on it. So I've been at this for weeks now. Trying everything from creating a bootable usb, which I can't get the iMac to boot from the usb, to unpacking the dmg file in the terminal, to using a Linux os to use dmg2img and creating a bootable usb but then again I can't get the iMac to boot from the usb. to using the online help through the disk utility (which it's so old I can't update safari) !!!! To calling apple (there no damn help at all. ) Everything I've tried don't work. When I got to reinstall the OS in disk utility, it connects to the apple store to download the file from there. But I don't have a OS in my apple for it to download from. What do I do. How do I get a compatible os in my apple store or boot from a usb. Or anything. Help please lol.

    My Mac's battery drains unusually fast

    Posted: 09 Oct 2021 12:45 AM PDT

    I just lost 10% in 30 mins just by watching YouTube on safari (1080p 60fps), it was the only tab open and safari was the only app open. I updated safari to the latest version and my Mac has been overheating a lot and draining the battery. Any suggestions?

    Macbook Pro with Big Sur, can you connect to wifi before being able to login??

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 04:11 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I tried Googling but didn't find any recent hits and regarding Big Sur so hoping I can get suggestions cause I have a user that we gave a Macbook pro home for first time and can't login to desktop but he can't connect to his home wifi without logging in. If he could, I may be able to remote in with Simplehelp sw we installed and help him.

    Any info appreciated.

    Combining MacBook Pro Speakers + External 2.1's = WOW

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 03:04 PM PDT

    Ok so my twin brother just texted me "Do you combine your speakers" and I was like, WTF are you talking about? and he began to explain how to create a multi-output device so I can use both my external and internal speakers at the same time.

    So I combined them and i feel like I just added a sound bar to my desk. The sound is much fuller now. I am seeing some drawbacks though, like you can't adjust the volume with the buttons or slider, you have to adjust it through the app that's playing the audio or just adjust the external speakers using its controller.

    If you're an audio person and have a 2.1 setup I would give this a shot and see what you think. It's fairly easy to do;

    1. Open Audio MIDI Setup
    2. Click '+' at bottom left
    3. Check the box for each device you want to play music through (MBP speakers + External Headphones)
    4. Switch to the multi-output device from the sound button in the menu bar

    If you're curious, I'm using Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers + a 2020 13" MacBook Pro

    EDIT: adding name of speakers and computer model.

    My Mac heats up until 90+ and fans don't speed up I use macs fan control to stop that but I don't know what's causing this issue i cleaned the fans so I am sure it's a software issue because it is solved using macs fan control.

    2015 5k iMac 27” core i5 quad with 32gb ram vs 2019 4K iMac 21” core i5 six-core with 8gb ram? If given the option what should I go with? Ram is not upgradable on the 2019. Noticed the 2015 lags a bit on Big Sur but runs well on Catalina… pros and cons?

    What capabilities does Siri still lack? ����

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 06:52 AM PDT

    I know there are many things that Siri can't do.... But what are these things? I haven't seen a list anywhere, and I'd like to work on an enhanced version of Siri that fixes some of these problems for MacOS.

    Any suggestions?

    from 2012 to 20M1

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 08:00 AM PDT

    So my mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina started dying today, therefore I made the jump to the M1.

    Currently waiting for Time Capsule to finish its thing (440k files transferred so far), so it got me thinking and I have the following questions for you guys:

    1. What is the best way to remove old files/folders/caches even os files (Mountain Lion-BigSur)? I've used CleanMyMacX in the past, however do know that there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of files left behind in Library and Prefs (some hidden others not) that I'm too scared or not too bothered to remove.
    2. Any applications that you consider a must on an M1? Free/Paid, I don't mind. (bonus upvotes for gems)

    Thank you!

    Currently using pages to write notes and had a question about the existence of a reverse indent command. When making bullet points, I can hit 'tab' to create an indented bullet point but I can't then reverse it back to normal on the next line. Is it possible to have a command for this?a

    How does dmg file checksum works in macOS?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 02:52 PM PDT

    I read that macOS forces every .dmg to be different although they are the same. Like I have a .dmg file and I do a copy of it, it wont be the exact copy of it, it wont have the same bits.

    I wonder how does this affect the moment when you are doing a checksum of the file? How do you manage to compare between hashes if the bit are always changing? And most important how do you generate the first hash to provide alongside your product?

    I apology if I didn't understand how it work and just asked a lot of nonsense.

    Thanks

    inability to log back in after manually locking computer

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 01:51 PM PDT

    very weird. i've posted once before about this. i manually lock my screen, and when ready to go back to work, my password does NOT get accepted. i've double checked and made sure of the correct password. when mobile, my apple watch will unlock it. my touch-id will unlock it. but never, using any keyboard including the built in, will my password let me back in, it wobbles every single time. does anyone else have this situation? any answers? m1 mba, big sur 11.6. can't be numlock, that's mostly for pc keyboards, while apple does not have numlock of any sort on apple keyboards. it's the same, using the normal numbers, or the number pad on extended apple keyboard.

    CMD+Click a folder opens it in a new tab, CMD+N opens a new window separate to the existing window works on MBP Intel Big Sur but not on MBA M1 Big Sur?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    I've had a quick look (admittedly very quick) and couldn't see an existing post / solution to this so I thought I'd ask. I'm on a Big Sur M1 MBA and having issues with how folders open.

    On my Intel Big Sur MBP everything works as I want to which is:

    CMD+Click a folder opens it in a new tab, CMD+N opens a new window separate to the existing window.

    On the MBA I've changed the setting in Finder Preferences but if I check or uncheck the box I either get everything in a new tab, or everything in a new window. Is there a setting hiding elsewhere that I'm missing? Any terminal code which will restore this to how my MBP works?

    Montreal [CAN] - Security problems with my internet?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 06:35 AM PDT

    It's been about a week and a half since I've been repeatedly getting this message for most links I am clicking through google searches:

    Your connection is not private

    Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.(insertwebsitehere).com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more

    NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

    I don't know what has changed? I am repeatedly getting this alert for nearly any website I try to access aside from things like gmail, Instagram or facebook, and don't know if I somehow added a new chrome plugin or if I have malware? At first I thought it seemed normal, but for almost 2 weeks now anything I google gives me this message and I have to bypass it to access the webpage. Is there somebody on my network? Does anybody know? Sorry if this isn't the place for this, I'm just not sure where to post.

    Thank you

    File help on MacOS

    Posted: 08 Oct 2021 04:18 PM PDT

    I made a folder using sudo, then moved a file in there, without using terminal or sudo. The file is locked and no matter what i do, i cannot delete or change permissions. only the system has access to the file. What should I do? I want to change the permissions to the file so that I can read, write and access the file.

    file is on desktop and i cannot access it, nor deleted (as it is locked)
