    Monterey - Logitech MX Master 3 losing connection

    Monterey - Logitech MX Master 3 losing connection

    Ever since I upgraded to Monterey, my MX Master 3 has been losing connection.

    I thought it was a bluetooth issue, so I pluged unifying receiver but problem still occured.

    I also disabled bluetooth while unifying receiver was plugged in to see if it was caused by other devices, but it was still having issues.

    The issue is intermittent, and last about 3-5 seconds. But it happens multiple times a day.

    I recorded screen to demonstrate the issue.

    I did a quick search online and seems like people have similar issues, but couldn't find solutions. Has anyone run in to similar issue and found solution?

    How can I make a PDF smaller?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 01:46 PM PST

    To be clear I don't mean the file size. I mean the literal size of the pages within the PDF.

    Im trying to import a slide show saved as PDF but when I import into OneNote the pages are comically large. Anyone have any suggestions? Typically I try to save it as "4x5 letter" and that helps but I don't see the option anymore?

    A very stupid (but valid) idea

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 11:15 AM PST

    First, sorry for my english

    Second, This is not a real option and i'm just curious about what do you think...🤔

    Today a stupid idea cross my mind: As a graphic and multimedia designer, my dream always is a very powerful mac and obviusly, the new mac Studio is perfect and now makes me my see my mac Mini m1 (16gb) like a toy. The problem is that is expensive and i bought the mini 8 months ago. Right now i'm not gonna buy a new $2.000 mac Studio, But ¿what if i buy another 8gb mac Mini?

    Is a sort of "Moneyball" option...Let me explain: the only reason to buy a powerful mac is to work in Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and After Effects at the same time. That's a heavy workload for a "Small" computer. Universal control, theoretically, offers an almost seamless experience between 2 or more devices... So, if i use a mini (8gb) for Id and Ai, and the other (16gb) for PS and Ae, i may have the power similar to a mac Studio (base model) for less money and with a safety net (if one of them fails, i still have a totally functional and capable mac).

    So ¿Is universal control a remotelly viable option for a "modular/Low Cost" option to get a powerful setup? ¿what do you think? ¿what Pros/cons do you see?

    Dynamic wallpaper timestamp relative to sunset / sunrise

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 11:12 AM PST

    Hi ! Does anyone know the timestamps that Apple's official dynamic wallpapers use relative to sunrise/sunset ? I have created custom shortcuts on my iPhone and iPad and I would love for it to be synchronized with my Mac. So far I've used this :

    • Picture 1 - 1 hour before sunrise, daily.
    • Picture 2 - 15 minutes before sunrise, daily.
    • Picture 3 - 30 minutes after sunrise, daily.
    • Picture 4 - 2 hours after sunrise, daily (Day photo)
    • Picture 5 - 1 hour before sunset, daily.
    • Picture 6 - 15 minutes before sunset, daily.
    • Picture 7 - 30 minutes after sunset, daily.
    • Picture 8 - 2 hours after sunset, daily (this is the Night photo.)

    Would really appreciate if anyone knows the ones used by default on mac ! Thanks !

    External monitor issues with Macbook Air m1

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 02:47 PM PST

    So before I had the macbook m1 air I was using a thinkpad t430 with a 1080p Samsung external monitor, the monitor looked really good with the thinkpad but with the macbook the colors look washed and the brightness is lower, I have it connected through a hub with hdmi input, I was thinking that maybe getting a hdmi to usb-c adapter could solve the issue but I'm not sure, also I live in South America and 4k monitor are extremely expensive here with prices close to $1k and it's not worth it for me to get one.

    Does anyone know what should I do or how can I solve this? Thanks.

    Dock and Mission Control not working when mouse is connected

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 02:25 PM PST

    My dock isn't responding when I move my cursor over it, it's magnification doesn't work when I put it to be always visible (which I don't want), I can't drag apps around in Mission Control when I have my mouse plugged in, but I can use my trackpad to do these things when it's not, any idea of a fix? I tried restarting and sudo killall Dock, but neither worked

    Edit: This also effects things I hover over with my cursor, like YouTube's add to queue but doesn't appear when I have my mouse connected

    QR code decoder in the terminal

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 05:58 PM PST

    QR code decoder in the terminal

    https://i.redd.it/kfge0mhmunm81.gif

    I made a small script that decodes a QR code from screenshot data on the clipboard ("Shift + Control + Command + 4"). It doesn't require screen recording permission, you just need to install a couple of utilities from homebrew:

    brew install zbar pngpaste 

    With it you can set "zbar" to decode a QR code and "pngpaste" to get a screenshot from the clipboard to paste into a file.

    Here is the script itself, don't forget to make it executable (chmod +x):

    #! /bin/bash FILENAME="$TMPDIR$RANDOM.png" # Generates a file name pngpaste "$FILENAME" # Paste screenshot into file zbarimg -q --raw "$FILENAME" # Will try to decode QR-code rm -rf "$FILENAME" # Removing file for security 

    I also shared the script on my Dropbox

    Note: for correct results, scan non-stylized QR codes

    Alphabetical "Artist" order sorting problem when viewing iPhone music library on a connected Mac via Mac's music app?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 06:51 AM PST

    Alphabetical "Artist" order sorting problem when viewing iPhone music library on a connected Mac via Mac's music app?

    Hi all,

    This has been an issue for a while, on several different phone models.

    When I have my 13 plugged in my Mac, launch "Music" on the Mac, and click the phones' icon on the sidebar to view the musical files, when I try to sort alphabetically by Artist, it doesn't adhere to the universal sorting convention of ignoring the "the" in the artists' names. Also ignoring the artists' first name. See attached grab.

    Any ideas? TIA.

    Fusion Drive with TWO OS versions..Normal?

    Fusion Drive with TWO OS versions..Normal?

    I have a 2017 iMac with a fusion drive. as you can see in the attached images, the drive has two volume groups, one on macOS 11.2.3 and the other on macOS 12.2.1

    I don't have another fusion drive iMac to compare this to, so I wanted to see if this is normal, or if there is something very, very wrong with my setup!

    Can you format on a mac a large usb drive to fat32?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 11:29 AM PST

    I got a 128GB USB drive and I see no FAT32 option. Is it because of the M1 architecture or the USB drive is too large.

    cannot acess external hard drive after time machine backup

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 02:37 PM PST

    I made a couple of mistakes in choosing an external ssd that had 500-600 gb's of data on it to backup my m1 mba. It was formatted in the ntfs file system, and as i was backing up my mac (1-2 mins in) i decided that i did not need a backup so i cancelled the backup and ejected my drive. Now the external ssd is formatted in apfs and i cannot get all of my information back from my ssd. Is there anything that I can do, any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Custom screensavers

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 02:30 PM PST

    Hey peeps.

    Looked online for information but found nothing conclusive. Company wants to have a company branded video playing as a screensaver on our Mac fleet (mostly running Big Sur and Monterey). Now I have seen several third party apps that either allow you to use photos or TvOS streams as screensavers (even scripts but I don't want to screw around with those on our MDM) but nothing to be able to use an MP4 as one.

    Anyone could either tell me NOPE or point me in the right direction please?

    Weird issue with external hard drive... Help appreciated!

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 12:09 PM PST

    So I have an external 1TB drive that I've been using for both general storage (pictures, Lightroom catalogs, etc.) on 2 machines and as a Time Machine backup on one machine. I got a new MBP about 3 weeks ago and backed up my old one to the external and moved on. Today I plugged the external drive into my machine and, instead of showing up as the general storage external, it's showing up as Lightroom Desktop and only shows my Lightroom data.

    Any ideas as to what's going on here? Really hoping I didn't lose all the rest of the data, as that's years and years of pictures.

    TIA!
