    I made a menu bar app called Cooldown to quickly toggle Low Power Mode on and off. Get it for free and let me know what you think.

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 01:39 PM PDT

    In Monterey Apple introduced a new Low Power Mode. Cooldown is a simple menu bar app that allows you to quickly toggle Low Power Mode on and off and see the status of the mode directly in your menu bar.

    You can download it here: https://goodsnooze.Gumroad.com/l/cooldown

    Use code 'Reddit' for 100% off.

    You can also get the source code if you want to build it yourself.

    The new MacOS Monterey update has bricked my laptop

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:22 PM PDT

    Hi, I use a MacBook pro 2020 intel, it was working perfectly fine earlier until I updated it to the new MacOs Monterey update (not knowing the problems), and now it has completely died, the screen is black and I have tried all the usual ways to fix it such as command R Etc. however it is still not working.

    I read somewhere that it could be bricked which means the ports don't work now? I'm not sure if that is correct or not, I know nothing about computers lol.

    Anyone know any solutions? Will apple help if I bring it in, it isn't under warranty anymore and is just over a year old.

    Thanks in advance.

    AltTab App: Is it a good idea to download?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:50 PM PDT

    https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/

    This app does exactly what I was looking for with window management in macOS. But I am worried about it using up system resources and slowing my Mac down, do you guys think it's a good idea to download it? Is there a native version I can get from the app store?

    I got a popup saying an extension had been blocked. I went into System Preferences -> Security and I have this message:
    System software from developer Apple Inc. has been updated

    Any idea what this is? I've never seen Apple updates/software needing to be unblocked. Running Big Sur on Mac Mini M1

    ESC key in Terminal on Monterey is Broken

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:55 PM PDT

    Has anyone figure out how to get ESC to work in Terminal on macOS Monterey? Every time I use insert mode on vim I can't exit unless I ctrl-c or have to option-[ TWICE.

    Is there some option I have to disable to get ESC to work again? I don't have dictation active and I'm not triggering Siri or anything like that.

    I'm on a 2021 16" MacBook Pro

    Monterey 12.0.1 WindowServer Kernel Panics while idle

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:57 PM PDT

    Hey all, long time reader, first time caller...

    I've been running my 2017 iMac Pro trouble-free for over two years now, but i've had two Kernel panics, occurring while the machine is idle.

    From what i can see from the logs, it looks like WindowServer has crashed multiple times, a minute or so apart, before the panic and subsequent reboot occurs.

    Is anyone else having a similar issue? Is this a Monterey thing, or a hardware thing?

    Thanks! :-)

    Crash log below:

    How to downgrade to Big Sur?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 01:15 AM PDT

    Since Monterey seems to have some bugs, I'm considering downgrading to Big Sur and I'll stick with it for some months, hopefully Monterey will be full stable by then.

    The bugs I'm experiencing are: Sometimes laggy transition when switching between virtual desktops, and duplicated icons for my games folder in the launcher.

    Is it possible to downgrade? Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    Aleo, please, let me know if I will lose my data by doing this, I would do a backup if so.

    I have a M1 MacBook Air.

    Thanks in advance!

    Got a lovely string of gibberish while trying to open a .txt file

    i'm trying to open a text file i saved to a flash drive. i get this assortment of characters instead.

    https://preview.redd.it/2dv0yr9sfxx71.png?width=1230&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0449d7bdd5fbcfca9cf20a123a794429fc9c0ba

    according to some research, it's a formatting issue (textedit opened the file in windows-something instead of my usual UTF-8), and i've tried different converters but i can't translate if i don't know what formatting this is in. i can't revert the file to any previous, non-gibberish state, because each time i try to open it in time machine (or at all really) it tells me that i don't have permission to access it. when i copy it to my desktop, that history i would use to restore it isn't there. this isn't the full file, i can send it if it is needed, but if anyone knows where i can start un-gibberishing it i'd really appreciate the help.

    From a 'save' dialogue, how do I navigate to the parent folder?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 12:13 AM PDT

    I'm working with Afinnity Photo. But I'm sure this issue rises with most (if not all) apps that allow you to manually save things.

    If I go to 'file'>'save as' I am given some candidate locations.

    The default location is completely unfamiliar to me. I have no idea where it is. I'm left to guess.

    A dropdown menu shows me the the alternative locations.
    Other possible locations are offered in the sidebar of the location dialogue.

    There are two options I'd like to have available:

    1) Saving the document in folder it lives in currently

    2) Navigation upward from the folder that the document is in, so I can save the document there.

    Unresponsive Touch Bar

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:23 PM PDT

    13" MacBook Pro 2020

    Monterey 12.0.1

    The last Mac I owned was 2015 and was stolen in 2017 so I have not kept up on the MacOS and MacBook updates since High Sierra and this Touch Bar is just adding to the complications.

    It worked fine for the first day or so but now it won't work for 3 users that I setup. I setup a 4th and it worked over there. Keyboard settings are identical.

    I tried looking up ways to kill it in terminal and activity monitor but wasn't working.

    Any suggestions for making this thing work would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    A couple questions about iCloud Keychain

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:58 PM PDT

    I created an encrypted disk image to store some sensitive files. I currently store the password inside a password manager. Whenever I open the encrypted dmg, along with asking for my password it asks if I want to store the password in the Keychain. In my mind, I feel like this makes things less secure than they are right now, since an attacker could get to the password if they simply knew my laptop's login password, whereas they would currently need that along with the password manager's login. Am I thinking about this correctly?

    Also, what is the "keychain login"? Is that different than my user login I use to unlock my laptop?

    Thank you!

    Clean install question

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    I'd like to do a clean install of Monterey but need to move some files and settings from my current setup on Catalina when it's done. Would this be doable simply by copying and pasting the files from the right folders in my Time Machine backup?

    Anyone on a MBP mid-2015 has successfully done so or encountered issues?
