    Force check for updates in the macOS App Store

    Posted: 02 Feb 2022 05:14 AM PST

    Hi! I'm new to macOS and Apple ecosystem. Just a few weeks ago have bought my first MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021 with M1 Max) to simplify my web development workflow.

    I was wondering how do I force macOS App Store 3.0 (1006.3.5) in macOS 12.2 Monterey to check for app updates? I tried searching for answers in the official documentation, on forums and various help sites, but found nothing relevant apart for very old guides for previous macOS versions like 10.14 on how to just force macOS App Store to check for app updates.

    To make my question a bit clearer. On Windows 11 in Microsoft Store there is a button "Get updates", on Google Play Store there is a button "Check for updates", on iOS App Store there is a swipe down action on the profile screen to force check for updates. Not to install updates, not to install one update, but simply to force that check. How can I do that same thing? If there isn't any direct way to do this, how does App Store gets this information, after system boot, when I launch App Store app, or like checks every five minutes or once a day at specific time? Thanks for any help!

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 07:57 PM PST

    Is it possible to output audio to Homepods AND USB speakers at the same time?

    Posted: 02 Feb 2022 05:09 AM PST

    Is it possible to output synced system audio to some Homepods AND a USB Audio device from macOS?

    I've tried Audio MIDI Setup, Airfoil, and Loopback but the options seem to be limited to airplay or wired setups but can't send audio to both at once.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    I've just done the STUPIDEST thing I've done in 35 years of Mac ownership -- PLEASE HELP

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 04:04 PM PST

    I've just done the STUPIDEST thing I've done in 35 years of Mac ownership -- PLEASE HELP

    I'm the living example of "know enough to be dangerous." I'm hoping for a touch of sympathy and your best advice.

    Today I added a second external drive to my Mac mini. I already had a 2TB Seagate external drive (an STGX2000400). I wanted to setup backup on it so bought a second one and today plugged it in, erased it to a OS Extended and wanted to partition (to add TimeMachine to one slice). Well, "partition" was grayed out in Disk Utility and some research suggested issuing a command in terminal -- which I did:

    diskutil erasedisk hfs+ External GPT /dev/disk2

    the second I issued it I realized I was issuing it on the drive with my data, not disk3s1 -- the NEW drive. I yanked the USB out of the drive to kill power. here's what terminal reported:

    Started erase on disk2

    Unmounting disk

    Creating the partition map

    Waiting for partitions to activate

    Formatting disk2s2 as Mac OS Extended with name External

    newfs_hfs: WriteBuffer: pwrite(3, 0x10466b000, 1048576, 3506663424): Device not configured

    newfs_hfs: write (sector 6848952): Invalid argument

    Mounting disk

    Could not mount disk2s2 after erase

    Error: -69832: File system formatter failed

    I went to Disk Utility to repair the disk but it failed. I chose "run first aid" and got this report: "First Aid process has failed. If possible back up the data on this volume. Click Done to continue."

    I chose to "show details" and it said this:

    Running First Aid on "" (disk2s2)

    Repairing file system.

    Volume is already unmounted.

    Performing fsck_hfs -fy -x /dev/rdisk2s2

    File system check exit code is 8.

    Restoring the original state found as unmounted.

    File system verify or repair failed.

    Operation failed…

    I went to view the info on the disk -- see attached screenshot of that report.

    I'm not sure where to start. This would be, of course, a catastrophic loss so I'm willing to purchase some software if anyone can advise. Thank you very, very, very much in advance. And yes, I know I'm a dumbass.

    ETA: I've downloaded UFS Explorer to see if it can read data on the disk.

    Whenever I do uni work the pdf files I download don't always save the latest changes, and sometimes it only saves half the changes. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it doesn't save changes at all. Why is that?

    Early 2009 iMac (2.66ghz 24in) runs better on Catalina!

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:34 PM PST

    Hey Guys! After inheriting a few B&W G3's 3 years ago, ive become something of an apple "collector"...

    i bought a 2009 iMac 24" from my job for fun, cost me about 120$ but it was fully upgraded and has not even a single scuff or scratch on it. Here are the specs.

    Core 2 Duo 2.66ghz

    8gb 1067mhz ddr3

    256gb silicon power SATA ssd

    This machine, along with its max MacOS El capitan, and ill be honest, ran like ass. Safari and chrome both struggled to playback video at 480p in some circumstances, and on some off days they would both just hang.

    Well after a little work from DosDude1 (Who I honestly probably owe a beer or three) and his patcher, My 13 year old iMac can now playback 1080p60fps YouTube video in safari with no external programs or addons!

    Im going to try this next on my daily Macbook Pro 2010 so wish me luck. Ill post picture of both machines and give some actual "numbers" once im done fooling around with it.

    Stay fuzzy!

    How can I get dark mode to turn on at sunset like it does on iOS/iPadOS? (2015 MBP 13" running Monterey 12.2)

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 03:46 PM PST

    Basically what the title says. Can't figure out why night shift turns on at sunset but dark mode doesn't.

    Question about Preview PDF Metadata

    Posted: 02 Feb 2022 12:07 AM PST

    Suppose I downloaded a PDF from website A and I look at the metadata, see the PDF producer is abcdefg. Suppose my friend downloaded a PDF from the same website and sends me the PDF. The PDF producer is still abcdefg and the creation date and modification date are identical.

    Does this confirm that my friend's PDF is from website A and has NOT been modified in any way? Or is it possible to say, modify the PDF via any of the PDF apps and still retain the original metadata.

    Tip: How to get a black menu bar while maintaining transparency in Dark Mode!

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 11:26 PM PST

    Hello!

    As a new Mac user (M1 MacBook Air, after 5 years on a PC), I wanted to make the most of the OS and customise it as much as possible. Of course I've been coming across a few obstacles, one of which was trying to customise my menubar to my liking.

    Apparently a common issue after the Big Sur upgrade is that Dark Mode doesn't alter the colour of the menu bar; it remains tinged by the wallpaper beneath it, which I personally didn't like. The solution many offered here was to go into Accessibility in System Preferences and in the Display Section, check "Reduce Transparency", which would then turn the menu bar black in colour. Problem is that it would remove the transparency in the entire interface (Safari, Finder, right-click menus, etc.) which I want to preserve.

    Then I found this open-source app called TopNotch, made for users of the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros who don't like the conspicuous webcam notch. It simply turns the menu bar black, and works with any system running macOS 11.0+. Also works for hidden menu bars, of course!

    I hope this helps someone! Also why does this read like a bad testimonial? lol

    Quite a noticeable "bug" when updating my Mac.

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 10:46 PM PST

    So I don't know if it just happens with my MacBook, But sometimes when I disturb the settings window while it's updating MacOS, (Like for example, Managing my desktop.) It just deletes the update. So if I go back to the Software Updates tab, I have to restart that monster size of an update. This also happens when restarting. It's probably a reasonable reason when I restart the mac, But not when I switch out of the Software Update tab for a sec.

    Does this ever happen to you? It puts me under so much pain because I have a painfully slow internet connection.

    A way to make a mouse smaller than the slider in System Preferences?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2022 06:29 PM PST

    A way to make a mouse smaller than the slider in System Preferences?

    I was wondering if there's a way to make the mouse smaller than the slider in System Preferences? Because I changed resolution and obviously making the GUI much more larger and the cursor. Because the cursor is more larger now, it labeled it as normal (check ss below). But the thing is, I want to make it more smaller than the "Normal" cursor size. Thanks in advance! (MacOS Big Sur 11.6.1)
