    I wish this was just "empty trash". The inconsistent verbiage kinda makes me crazy.

    My M1 Pro MacBook Pro just ground to a complete halt before I could even kill processes because of runaway memory pressure. Am I the only one still plagued by these issues?

    Monterey 12.0.1 Display Issues

    Monterey 12.0.1 Display Issues

    I have an atypical setup, but is anyone else using a MBP as an extended display for, say, an LG Ultrafine... and maybe also using an iPad w/sidecar...and noticing a much less stable/consistent boot experience in 12.0.1?

    Also where does this hideous login wallpaper come from and how can I change it? I feel like I lost a lot of settings in the upgrade (display, wallpaper, mouse speed etc), which surprised me for a minor point release like this.

    Spark Mail disk usage on macOS Monterey

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 03:45 AM PST

    Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I've received my new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip and started using same apps I've had on my old Mac. Yesterday I've noticed that Spark mail client is causing a very high disk usage. It writes around 2GB to disk every 15 minutes (maybe causing a SSD early degradation?). Never before checked it in my old Mac, but for the moment I've stopped using until a clarification. (Just to compare, native Mail client writes around 10MB in all day). Anyone using Spark Mail can open Activity Monitor app and check the bytes written by Spark in Disk tab? Thanks!

    How to reverse trackpad scroll without external mouse

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 03:22 AM PST

    I have a bluetooth mouse and when i am using it I invert the the mouse scroll settings (uncheck natural scroll). But when I am not using an external mouse and just using the trackpad I use the natural scroll.

    But sometimes when I dont have a mouse like at the moment when i am in a library, I cant figure out how to invert it now. I forgot to invert the scroll setting last night before unplugging the mouse. the mouse settings dont open because there is no external mouse connected and it just says "waiting for bluetooth mouse".

    So does anyone know how to invert the scroll settings when i dont have a mouse connected?

    Safari slow to launch

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:51 AM PST

    14in M1 MBP - Can anyone offer any suggestions or has had this issue?

    Safari 15 runs perfectly fine but it takes like 10 seconds to launch after quitting and my right mouse button takes about 5 seconds to show.

    Clearing cache and disabling all extensions, VPN's etc doesn't appear to help and the Safari tech Preview is exactly the same.

    "No Output/Input Devices Found"

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:15 PM PST

    "No Output/Input Devices Found"

    I have had this problem or bug in a little while, maybe a month or so? When the MacBook (Air M1) is turned on from a shutdown, the devices are recognized. After a few minutes, System Preferences says there are no input and output devices, but the devices are recognized on Google Meet (but not on Zoom and Discord). This also happens mostly after a sleep.

    The thing is, the speakers or my Bluetooth devices still make a sound (with music, YouTube, system alert sounds) and can be volume controlled even if they were "not found".

    My temporary solution is that I restart the coreaudiod (with killall coreaudio command) every time this happens.

    Has anyone encountered this kind of problem? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

    Attached are images related to the concern.

    Safari too Slow or completely unresponsive on MacOS (Monterey) and iOS 15

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 06:37 PM PST

    Am I the only one experiencing issues with the performance of Safari? Ever since the update took place, my app won't work or gets extremely slow.

    I downloaded other browsers just to test and they work perfectly, Safari is still usable if I am willing to keep clicking a link up to 8 times just for it to catch it and take me to the website.

    Right now I'm using Brave on Mac and iPhone and it's fast, but I wanted to stay within the apple ecosystem.

    Any advice?

    Samsung T5 and T7 SSD unable to use

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:11 PM PST

    I have an issue with a T5 and T7 SSD. Firmware is up to date. I want to be able to use them on Mac, but they don't show up in Disk Utility. If I go to Apple > About This Mac > System Report the drive is showing. But I am unable to use it in any way. This is happening on both a M1 Macbook Pro and M1 Mac mini (running Monterey). The drives run fine under Windows without issue. I have tried both NTFS and APFS on the Mac's. I have tried different cables as well as rebooting both Mac's several times. Nothing seems to work.

    As shown in the screenshot, the Mail app only shows the date, but not day (Monday to Friday). Does anyone know how to make it show day?

    Documents and desktop in iCloud Drive

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 06:49 PM PST

    I am new to iCloud and macOS and I am confused about documents and desktop showing up in iCloud Drive. On my iPhone I transferred my old computer files from Dropbox to iCloud and all my files were in two folders in iCloud Drive. I get a MacBook and it is showing documents are desktop in iCloud Drive.

    So when I save a new file from my Mac to my desktop it saves in iCloud Drive? Will that file show up on my iPhone too? And how do I make my files that are in iCloud Drive also save locally on my Mac (basically if I save a file from my iPhone to iCloud I want that file to show up locally on my Mac when I use my Mac)

    How do we see what audio codec bluetooth is using in macOS Monterey?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 10:31 AM PST

    I'm listening to Music with my bluetooth headphones and it sounds like HOT GARBAGE. My headset supports AAC but I'm convinced it's using SCO right now.

    In Catalina, I was able to hold Option and click on the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and it displayed the codec being used.

    In Monterey, that's gone. And I'm having trouble finding Xcode's Bluetooth Explorer.

    Help?

    Apple XDR display + Mac Book PRO 16 - Dock Nightmare

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:43 PM PST

    Hello everyone,

    I am really struggling current with my XDR + Mac Book pro 16 inch setup.

    I have been trying to find how to display the dock on both screen... This is absolutely necessary in my mind. I am always dragging the cursor between the screen - loosing it in the process lol sometimes...

    I used to have the task bar on both screen on my windows install which was spot on, but cant replicate this on the mac.

    Would anyone have a solution for this ?

    Thx

    Safari Randomly Goes to Previous Page

    Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:25 PM PST

    Very odd bug that I can't screen capture: when using Safari it randomly decides to go to the previous page, and the "Show next page" button is greyed out as if I never visited the page I was on. It's been happening for three months or so.

    Happens sporadically, usually a few seconds after I open the new link, but sometimes 15 minutes into staying on the same page. Just today I was once watching a YouTube video and stepped away from my laptop and thought it was odd that it stopped playing: sure enough it did it while I was a few feet away without any way to control playback.

    Has anyone come across this bug? I'm tempted to update to Monterey just in the off chance it gets rid of it.

    macOS Monterey 12.1 Fixes Major Tap to Click, YouTube HDR, and Charging Bugs

    Fixing messed up APFS volumes - help!

    Fixing messed up APFS volumes - help!

    Well, it's that time of the year again - family tech support. Any idea how to clean up whatever the parental units did to their hard drive volumes? If my own system is correct, then theirs should be:

    Container disk1

    - Macintosh HD [volume group]

    -- Macintosh HD [system volume]

    --- Macintosh HD [snapshot]

    -- Macintosh HD - Data

    In other words, they should have a volume group name Macintosh HD, they should not have Mac - HD, and they should have a properly named snapshot.
