    Voice Isolation for apps other than facetime

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:55 PM PST

    The voice isolation is highly useful feature and I use it all the time. On ios/ipados the feature can be turned on on any voip apps (ms team, whatsapp calls, zoom, etc)

    However on macos, this feature seems only can be enabled in facetime app. On other apps the feature seems to be greyed out. Do the 3rd party apps needs to update their side to enable voice isolation feature? Or apple only allows the feature tp be enabled onlh for facetime calls in macos?

    MacOS Monterey Mid-2015 Macbook Pro

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:10 PM PST

    Not worth updating to Monterey. They do not offer basically any of the new features. Not even low power mode. I reached out to Apple support chat and asked and they took forever to get to the bottom of it. Almost like theyre hiding it. But they do state it in the fine print that its mainly the 2016 models and newer. Mid-2015 is officially done being supported, in my opinion.

    How do you open an app in Japanese using the terminal on Big Sur?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 11:16 PM PST

    My previous solution, putting "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8" before the start of the line's run command, isn't working, so I think the answer might have changed between Mojave (the most recent version I've successfully done this on) and Big Sur.

    Can no longer set the default app for .epub files

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:47 PM PST

    Starting in Monterey, when I do a Finder Get Info on an .epub ebook, and set the Open With: popup to something other than Books and press the Change All button, the choice just turns back to Books. In previous versions of macOS, I could set it to other e-book readers. Anyone else seeing this?

    Disable Focus/ DnD mode

    Posted: 11 Nov 2021 01:43 AM PST

    How do I disable focus and DnD? It seems like it's one or the other. Customizing it didn't work. I am trying to get alert tones notification on apps but I don't get them anymore because of Monterey update. And yes notifications are turned on all the apps I use. I get banner notification but that's about it.

    Picture in Picture Mode - Why doesn't macOS still have a keyboard shortcut for it?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2021 01:24 AM PST

    I use the Picture in Picture mode almost every day to have a podcast playing in one corner of the screen while I work on something else, or watch a tutorial on the side and work on your own project. It's so painful to have to lift your fingers from your keyboard, point somewhere in the video, right click and press "Enter Picture in Picture" every single time. I would imagine Apple to have already thought of this before, but if someone from Apple is watching, better late than never? 👀

    Trackpad alternatives?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2021 12:56 AM PST

    Hi all .. I've got one of those ergo mice lately, I've been struggling a bit with it, since I've been using gestures on the trackpad (desktops navigation, open apps view, back and front browser navigation, and others), moving to a mouse makes things a bit awkward for me.

    Is there any alternatives by a combination between mouse+keyboard, that achieve the same effects as the trackpad gestures?

    I tried keyboard shortcuts, but it isn't convenient, having to switch to keyboard to switch desktops (with both hands), and then back to mouse is very annoying to me.

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 08:52 PM PST

    Difficulty using MacOS Monterey's Shortcuts/Quick Actions with TouchBar

    Set my touch bar to show \"Quick Actions\"

    No quick actions are shown

    Quick actions show when using the \"Quick Actions\" button in the expanded control strip

    I would like my touch bar to ONLY show my Quick Actions instead of clicking through the Quick Actions button to reach them. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

    2020 Intel MBP randomly hangs and logs user out.

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 06:24 PM PST

    I'm in the midst of random browsing and my screen hangs for a few seconds (audio is still playing). After the hang, my 2020 Intel MBP crashed and I'm on the user login screen. Gotta login again and reload all my windows. This only happens after I updated to Monterey. Could this be a bug? Appreciate it if anyone knowledgeable enough could advice!

    Web app command keys stop working in Safari

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 06:45 PM PST

    I have an M1 MacBook Air running Monterey, but I've seen this problem with prior OS versions.

    After some period of time, command keys assigned to web apps cease to work.

    For example, command-I in the gmail text editor no longer toggles italic, and instead triggers Safari's native Share > Email this Page feature, which launches the native Mail app.

    I've also noticed that dynamic spell check stops working over time as well.

    I've observed this in Google and Microsoft web apps such as gmail, outlook.com, etc.

    The only way to fix this is kill safari and start it again.

    Anyone else see this?

    What is memory bandwidth and why should we care?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:34 AM PST

    new m1 max has this marketed to us.

    why is it important to have 400 Gb/sec bandwidth ? would it let us process video projects without maxing out CPU and GPU ?

    is this the frame buffer speed?

    Anyone know how to redirect safari mail icon?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 06:07 PM PST

    I am on Catalina. In safari, I added the mail icon in browser. When I click on the icon, it opens up gmail in Edge. How do I have it open gmail within the safari browser? I searched but only thing that comes up is for the Mac "mail app" only. anyone in my shoe?

    edit - I don't want to use the apple mail app for gmail, only within browser for gmail.

    Over 100 GBs of untouchable "System Data"

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 04:03 PM PST

    Caption says it all. I have over 100 GBs of untouchable data on my drive. I have tried Parallels Toolbox and Clean my Mac (The trials) with little success at cleaning more than 5 GBs of it. Does anyone have any advice? Because my next step is resetting it and starting from scratch.

    Thanks

    "Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen", am I missing something?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2021 04:00 PM PST

    Trying out this feature in full screen mode and I must be missing something because I see absolutely no visual difference between regular mode + visible menu bar versus full screen mode + deselecting "Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen" where the menu bar stays visible in full screen mode? Can someone point out what I'm missing?
