    Universal Control is great, but I can’t place my additional MacBook Pro or iPad directly either side of my main device (center in the attached image) in Display Preferences. This makes for a less fluid transition from device to device. Is this a bug or just how it works? Cheers!

    macOS forced me to reset my password with complex requirements... what's going on?

    macOS forced me to reset my password with complex requirements... what's going on?

    I'm stumped on this issue and I'm hoping someone here knows what's going on...

    My cousin says when she went to log into her MacBook Air, running macOS Sierra 10.12.6, she was prompted to change her password. She did, and it imposed a bunch of complex requirements on her.

    That's never happened to me before, so I had her go into System Preferences, and change her password back to what it was. It wouldn't let her. The complex requirements were still in effect:

    I checked my iMac, running macOS Monterey 12.2, and I don't have these complex password requirements. It just says my password needs to be longer than 4 characters.

    Does anyone know what may have happened to my cousin's MacBook Air, and how to get rid of these complex password requirements?

    Accidentally deleted Parallels Desktop without removing Windows/the virtual machine first.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 05:03 AM PST

    Hello everyone, I deleted Parallels Desktop (literally threw it into the trash) without de-installing Windows/the virtual machine first. Does anyone know how do I remove it now? I tried searching the internet but there're almost no articles regarding it. Would really appreciate the help!

    Video Playback Framerate drops significantly on Idle

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:18 AM PST

    When playing back video on a screen without any other movement (eg mouse) the framerate drops significantly for a couple of seconds before returning to normal. This happens pretty randomly, sometimes there are no issues for tens of minutes while some videos are starting to lag after a couple of seconds. The audio keeps playing back fine.

    When starting to move the mouse to the screen contains the playing media, the framerate instantly returns to normal.

    As far as I observed this happens with every application (Local files via Quicktime, Safari, Firefox on YouTube/Netflix/...) on any screen.

    > I managed to record the bug.

    At first I thought this might be caused by the Macbook (Macbook M1 Pro with 2 external Displays) screen adjusting its framerate from 120hz to 10hz on idle but the issue occures on any external monitor.

    There is also no significant load which could cause these types of frame drops.

    Did anyone experience something similar?

    Setup

    • Macbook Pro M1 Pro
    • 2 external Displays 1440p122hz
    • connected via Dell WD19TB Dock

    How do I close tabs or programs from mission control?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:05 AM PST

    I do not see a setting in system preferences to be able to easily close out tabs once I'm in mission control. So far I've been switching to the tab I want to close in mission control and then closing it out.

    I can’t log into my Reddit account on any web browser.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:55 AM PST

    It used to be just Microsoft Edge that was a problem, but now it's happening on all the browsers I have: Safari, Edge, and Chrome. When I try to log in, I get the "your username or password is incorrect" message. Except I know my username and password are correct. I even reset my password to be sure. I can still use the Reddit app on my iPhone, and I could log into the Apollo app on my Mac, so I know it's the web browsers that are the issue and not my account. I've tried clearing my history and cache on all browsers; nothing has changed. What else can I do?

    Contacts app frequently pauses (beachball) during browsing and editing - any pro tips for speeding up?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:44 AM PST

    I've been plagued, for years, across many MacOS and hardware upgrades, with glitchy performance from the Contacts app - and I'm hugely reliant on that app.

    I frequently get the spinning beach ball when doing things as simple as editing contacts, adding to the Notes, etc.

    Any pro tips on things I can try to make this app reliably fast?

    I'm on M1 MacBook Air, with latest MacOS version.

    Not sure how to migrate data from very outdated systems to new Macs.

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 03:23 AM PST

    I currently have a 2010 Mac Pro and a 2014 rMBP, both still running macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra).

    I desperately need to replace both machines with current models very soon due to work requirements (I use both Macs privately and also for freelancing work). What worries me most about that is how to migrate my data. The way I see it I have 2 options:

    1. Use Apple's Migrations Assistant
    2. Transfer everything manually

    Both options seem a little problematic, each in their own way.

    Concerns with option 1:

    • Might not work well due to the large macOS gap (I could upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra before migration, but not further, due to hardware incompatibility). Is there any information on how much of a gap is ok?

    • This would transfer all the clutter, possibly including some incompatibilities.

    Concerns with option 2:

    • I might miss something important which is not immediately obvious.

    • Huge amount of work to setup and re-configure everything. (I use a ridiculous amount of specialised apps and this would take several days and actually be a cost to me in terms of lost time for work.)

    • Could I at least copy the Preferences from the Library over? Maybe also Application Support?

    What would your approach be?

    Heyo, I always thought that the cool 'new' transparent look of the ui on mac just wasn't supported on my 'old' macbook pro mid-2015 anymore. And I was so mad at apple because I had this ugly white dock with a massive black frame around it? I thought they did this just so my old mac book wouldn't look as cool as the newer models. I was looking on the internet for people who were as mad as me but somehow it seemed like it wasn't really that big a deal for everyone else and I felt pretty weird. I thought people should be mad about this 😄 But today I learned that it was all just because of some little accessibility setting that was for some reason activated on my mac that says Reduce transparency and by removing one little check mark I got the transparency that I think looks so elegant 😍

    Maybe someone else has the same problem.

    Cheers, a happy apple user

    How to get SystemProfiler Info on a clean device on Monterey?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 08:14 AM PST

    Hey Lad(ie)s,

    I am in need of some help from the community. On all OS Versions prior to Monterey, I was able to use Single User Mode on a clean device to get to a functional terminal and use the

    "system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType SPHardwareDataType"

    to get stats on the device. Under Monterey, that is not possible anymore, because Single User Mode doesn't work on a clean device.

    So, why do I require this. I am taking care of inventory for all the Macs and I have all new devices inventoried with the stats. Easy, since I have the receipts from the retailer. However, on all the devices that come back, I need to do a clean installation of Monterey. I have no access to the devices since they get returned from users from multiple locations and I don't have a PW for any of them.

    The Terminal in recovery mode doesn't work for the above code. I really don't want to go through the full setup, get the info from the device, and then go through the process of erasing all settings and content again through preferences. That's like another 30 min I need to be on each device.

    Looking for any alternatives that you guys may have. Btw - SN Search for a device doesn't seem to work either - especially since I don't get the RAM or SSD Size from the SN.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    SD

    Name or color-code Finder tabs?

    Posted: 03 Feb 2022 12:55 AM PST

    Hi,

    I was wondering if it was possible -through native monterey or an 3rd-party extension- to color code or name my finder tabs.

    For my work, I often have 2 or 3 tabs open. Of course the name of the folder is displayed, but due to the way my work organises it's dropbox folders, it's often the same name ("presentations"). I'd like to give the tab some kind of color or 'extra' name to distinguish one client's folder from another, without actually changing the name of the folder (because that would give sync issues for my collegues and would cause clients to loose acces to files within that folder).

    Does anyone know a smart solution for this?

    Edit: I do have those folders/tabs open semi-permanently so adding the color / name every time I open the folder won't be that much of an issue.
