    I got tired of the Music Library folder and TV folder being bare, so I made some icons inspired by the Photos Library and Photo Booth Library folders.

    Apps tells me I'm out of HD space, but I have 140gb of free space

    Apps tells me I'm out of HD space, but I have 140gb of free space

    Everything I do tells me I am out of HD space, but I cleared 60gb of files and now I am at 140gb of free space. NPM fails because it says it can't write to the HD, Chrome tells me to clear some space, Apps keep telling me I am out of space. Virtualbox freezes and then says I am out of space.

    I already tried first AID on the HD and nothing changed. iCloud sync is disabled. I have no temporary time machine backups on my HD, I checked with tmutils.

    I am out of options, what can I try?

    Is 'Reduce Loud Sounds' available for macOS?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2021 02:12 AM PDT

    This feature is available on iOS as well as iPadOS, but surprisingly, it isn't available for macOS? Is there an app that will do the same? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Apple's website explains it here.

    Is there any reason to have iCloud Private Relay active on desktop if I don't use Safari or Apple Mail?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2021 02:06 AM PDT

    As far as I know, iCloud Private Relay mostly only affects traffic from Safari and Apple Mail. If that is correct, and if I don't use either of those apps regularly, is there any other reason to have it active?

    Well, my touch bar sure doesn't know what to make of tab groups in Safari 15. The more I switch between them, the worse it gets.

    Can downloads be remotely removed by a third party?

    Posted: 12 Oct 2021 12:28 AM PDT

    I know this sounds stupid but I was doing research a few weeks ago and downloaded a few pdfs from a website. These were whitepapers from the official website of a consulting company.

    However now looking at the Download tab on the bottom of my Chrome window the file is listed as "Removed". I checked in Finder and the file is there I just can't open it. I tried to select it for "Info" but it almost made Finder crash and then the file fully disappeared.

    Does anyone know how this could have happened?

    Thank you!

    How do I clear Other Storage on MacBook Pro

    Minor nits regarding Messages app

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 05:57 PM PDT

    The app seems to have regressed over time, but it could be my imagination. Here are some annoying things...

    • OK, I'm a weirdo and like to tidy up my chat messages. I don't like how I cmd-click on messages to select them, but if I cmd-click on a link, it opens up my browser. The only way to remove that is to right click and select delete. Lame.
    • I don't like how if I cmd-click on a dozen messages and accidentally cmd-click slightly outside a message, it deselects them all.
    • I don't like how it's not synchronized with what's on my iPhone. I have iCloud integration turned on.
    • I dislike how the delete key will delete a message in Mail but has no effect on Messages.

    That is all. Carry on.

    Does reinstalling macos progress pick up where we left off?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 09:20 PM PDT

    Hey, sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm new to mac/apple products and i barely know anything about computers. So i decided to factory reset my macbook air m1, and i had to reinstall the macos big sur. But the thing is, my internet connection is super slow and unstable (i didn't read the part where reinstalling is heavily reliant on internet until i erased everything😥). I was already on about 80% progress (it took me almost 48 hrs to get to this point), when i got the error message "PKDownloadError 8), so it's most likely because my connection was interrupted. Then i checked the disk utility, and there's a 10GB file in the internal disk, which there wasn't before, so i'm guessing it's from the unfinished macos installation.

    My question is, if i restart the macos installation, does it install the rest of the file that hasn't been downloaded yet from the previous installation, or does it start from scratch? Thanks in advance.

    Function key to be used to forward delete AND control

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Fairly new Mac user. I know I can make the "function" key into the "Control" key from Windows, howevcer this then means it can't be used to click + delete to forward delete. Is there a way to allow both?

    Also... is there a way to make my caps lock ONLY more sensitive? I find it's hard to press...

    Thanks a lot :)

    I have no idea what's making my Mac slow

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 03:26 PM PDT

    My iMac is late 2015 and runs smooth in short bursts. Opening new tabs on Chrome of safari takes 10-30 seconds and I think this has only started recently. I've cleared my cache I have 600gb leftover storage. I've scanned for viruses. Activity monitor says 90% idle.

    Big Sur 11.6 - Maps frequently accessing location services

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 02:54 PM PDT

    Multiple times an hour maps is shown to be accessing location services recently, I don't recall this happening previously (prior to approx. a week ago). When I check Security & Privacy > Location Services, Maps is the only app/service to ever be indicated to be accessing location within the past 24hrs. I searched posts to see if there were any clues as to an explanation and the only thing I found even remotely applicable was possibly because I've allowed Find My to determine my location. But there is never an arrow indicating that it has accessed my location, only Maps - every time. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any idea as to a cause to the frequency of this occurring? For the time being I've disallowed Maps access to my location as it seems to be a bug possibly.

    My computer keeps "Restarting" everytime i close it

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 06:40 PM PDT

    I have the newest M1 macbook pro running Big Sur 11.6 and everytime I open up I get this error msg Error code Third party kernel error. Does anyone know how to fix this? I think definitely either a bug or some type of incompatible software I have installed but I can not figure it out. Maybe someone can read the pastebin and have an idea.

    Have you EVER installed Fitbit Connect on Mac? Better make sure the app is completely gone if you're not using it anymore.

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 02:23 PM PDT

    I just found a folder (~Library/Application Support/Fitbit Connect/Minidumps) that has been consuming massive amounts of disk space on my Mac. At least over 100 GB when I decided to kill OmniDiskSweeper. I moved the parent folder, 'Fitbit Connect', to the trash, and I'm currently in the process of emptying the trash, just crossed 750K items deleted, and it's still going. WTF?!

    I haven't owned a Fitbit since the Apple Watch Series 1 was released. I deleted the Fitbit Connect app a long time ago, but my suspicion is that some aspect of the app has continued to run in the background of my Mac and has continued to add content to this 'Minidumps' folder.

    Virtual Memory Size

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 07:54 AM PDT

    Virtual Memory Size

    How is VM size calculated? Screenshot is from Activity monitor. Many of processes have this exact value for VM size, though there are others with different values.

    https://preview.redd.it/yqd26bma3us71.png?width=426&format=png&auto=webp&s=775fb5d9ffd78bf4a9cde8fffa5a4ee4ea2e603b

    I know what is VM. My question is, I have MBP M1 512/16 (BS 11.6), but I don't know where does this 391GB comes from. How is it calculated? I know it doesn't have much practical implication, I just want to know about it.

    For one instance, Finder is giving me this value, but some 3rd party apps do not. From my observation, os (and Apple's) processes have this value, while 3rd party apps may not.

    So where does this value come from?

    spilled water on my Mac Air 2019. help!!!

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 04:51 PM PDT

    So yea currently it is on my pillow upside down and it works. I admittedly did shut it down late ~20 minutes after the spill. I am not sure what to do.

    It was just clean water and spilled only on the keyboard. I am really paranoid due to my test tomorrow and not sure what to do. I have AppleCare+ and I was wondering if that will help?

    Why does Safari quit when not in use? Messes up my 2FA

    Posted: 11 Oct 2021 12:48 PM PDT

    If I don't have Safari active, it quits itself after a while. This is incredibly frustrating because I have to redo my two-factor authentication for work sites every time the app relaunches.

    Is this a power-saving "feature" that can be turned off or something? I'm on 11.6 and it's happened ever since updating to Big Sur.
