    Disk Image full error

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 07:39 PM PST

    Hoping the big brains here can help.

    Goal: Create an encrypted sparse bundle that will go max out at 1.8 TB on an external USB drive and copy my files to it

    I have about 800G of video files that I want to move over to this new encrypted sparse bundle, but every time I try to copy all of them I get a "The item "FileName.mp4" can't be copied because there isn't enough free space" error.

    There is PLENTY of room (the external USB drive is 3 TB)

    I can't figure out what's going on.

    Thanks.

    Notes not working

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 07:25 PM PST

    I have a M1 MBA . Monterey 12.2.1

    Notes sit in lower right corner and when I pull it up it has an old note on it with no way to add a new note.

    I cant open up the note app and create a new note either

    if I put cursor in corner nothing happens and when I click it it does not come up which makes that functionality being in the corner useless.

    it usually doesn't even open when I click on it . it goes back into the corner.

    I cant hit command N

    anybody else have this issue with n to being able to use notes in any capacity.

    How are you efficiently multitasking on macOS?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:58 AM PST

    I alternate Windows and macOS and I've always found multitasking on Windows significantly easier due to the task bar. I'll frequently have between 5 and 10 applications open and active at any given time each with a few different active windows. The Windows task bar makes it super easy to see what I have open, find what I'm looking for, and switch to it quickly. I've found that the macOS dock is much less effective at this and takes up significantly more screen real estate as well.

    I've been using uBar on macOS for about a month now but it's kind of janky. Some applications get stuck while others don't show up at all, pinning applications doesn't work very well, so overall I'm not very happy with it.

    Given my bad experience with uBar, I'd like to leverage native macOS functionality to better enable multitasking. As I said before, I'm not crazy about the dock. Cmd + tab is fine to switch between applications but then I need to use Cmd + ` to switch between windows and I end up having to hunt for what I'm looking for. Mission Control seems like the best option but I don't like how it doesn't include minimized or hidden windows.

    I'm curious what other people do to effectively multitask on macOS. Are there any simple tweaks either to my workflow or to OS/application settings that might make things more efficient? Are there other third-party applications that implement alternative methods of multitasking?

    How to fix this? I have hit approve countless times and it keeps coming up.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 10:05 AM PST

    Do you have a Mac app suggestion to maximize the control of keyboard/external keyboard (Assign, re-assign keys to whatever I want). Something like SteerMouse or BetterTouchTool, but for managing the behavior of keyboards.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 05:55 PM PST

    Before purchase, I'm trying to know If I can use the Cooler Master ControlPad 24 Keys, or another external keyboard pad via another software, bc apparently there's no one for mac.

    No matter if it is OpenSource or $$$

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi guys. I am trying to download the monterey download - freed up space, left it going overnight. Checked in to find it's got an issue with the digital signature, that it's missing or invalid.

    Using a 2017 Macbook Air. What does this mean, how do I fix it?

    Thank you!

    Does anyone know of a site that distributes free MacOS screen recording videos? Preferably copyright free, as I will be using it to create my work.

    Ongoing space / hard drive issues

    Ongoing space / hard drive issues

    Hi everybody,

    I'm having some issues with my imac.

    - few days ago i clean installed Monterey

    - i ran a disk check and no errors were found (used DriveDx)

    - i'm now having the same problems crop up.

    I've attached photos.

    - as you can see there is a big difference between what Storage and Disk Utility are showing for free space

    - I'm trying to create a 150 GB virtual disk image and it's failing because of lack of space

    This discrepancy in storage is what prompted me to clean reinstall the OS to begin with. I empty trash, reboot etc but the space just doesn't clear up and mac mail and other software starts to fail...

    What could be causing this issue? I'd greatly appreciate some assistance as this has become a reoccurring issue.

    Please let me know if I missed some critical info.

    Thanks,

    Dee

    Hello I'm new to macOS, I have been learning gestures but the open launchpad gesture is very awkward. I was wondering if there was a way to change the gesture to another one?

    Is it possible to prevent Mac from sleeping while turning off the screen?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 12:03 PM PST

    I need to run some ML code and want my Mac to stay awake overnight. I'm using Jupyter lab.

    In system preferences >> battery >> power adapter section, there a check box that says "prevent Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off". So, I want to check this box and the place the "turn display off after" slider at 3 min. Then I will connect the power adapter for charging.

    Will this suffice? So, my screen will be turned off after 3 min of inactivity but my code still continues execution overnight, right? I just want to be sure about this. I never kept my Mac awake for such long period of time.

    Thank you!

    TouchBar takes time to "load" volume control

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 10:24 AM PST

    When I touch volume or brightness on the TouchBar, I get an empty circle that "fills" when I want to do more than tap on the control. While it's filling, I have no control over any of those functions. I can't find mention of this anywhere. I'm running Monterey version 12.1. Any help appreciated

    Help with booting from USB with installer

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 10:10 AM PST

    Hi, I am trying to install Mac OS Yosemite onto my Mac Mini late 2009 (3,1). There is no OS on it and it is completely blank. When I boot it up it just shows a blank white screen. So I made a bootable Yosemite USB through a virtual machine and when I plug it in to my Mac Mini and hold the option key while booting up it shows this is https://imgur.com/a/XQyIVhP. After I select install OS X Yosemite it shows the apple logo and a progress bar. The progress bar continues and then stops after like a minute or so and then shows this https://imgur.com/a/3gsbjXb. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks.

    ESC, Siri or Multi Window not working? Here is the solution

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 09:33 AM PST

    I have a macbook pro 14 with m1 max, and every time I dont reboot my mac for 4/5 days or more, I encounter some of this bugs of Monterey.

    I found some workaround (until they fix it software-side).

    If Siri or your ESC button arent working, go in Activity Monitor and search for "Siri", and then stop the process. The process will restart, and your ESC btn and Siri will work again.

    If the multi window or Mission control arent working, same as before, go in Activity Monitor, search for mission controll process and stop it.

    The best option still remains to reboot macos without opening back your windows, but sometimes you are working on something important and dont have time to reboot, so I found out a solution based on my experience.

    Hope will help someone, have a good day!

    Youtube videos crash on Safari

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 04:54 AM PST

    I'm pretty sure it's because of Safari since I don't have the same problem on Chrome. It started shortly after I updated to 15.3. Doesn't happen all the time but quite often. Basically I watch a video and at a random point the screen goes black. Then when I click on it, it becomes grey and says the video is unavailable. Re-loading the page doesn't help, it just happens again.

    How to change an application's name to avoid security blacklist

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 04:53 PM PST

    Let me explain...

    I am on a school macbook (specifically a 13" Macbook Pro with an M1 chip). My school has a security program that renders you unable to run specific applications, such as Steam, Discord, and Firefox, note that some applications that aren't on their blacklist can already be run. Now what I'm trying to do, is install Tor (built on Firefox) on my computer, but whenever I open it, the application gets deleted and a popup tells me that "Firefox is not an approved application for student use". So now I ask the question, what file do I have to change in the application for it to not detect that it's on the blacklist? I'll be happy to conduct any testing that anyone suggests.
