    For all MX Master 3 users, BetterMouse now has the dome & gesture buttons fully supported

    It's always been a big pain not to support these two buttons for Master 3 in BetterMouse, a utility trying to get rid of the Logi Options+. Now we've finally solved it after tons of work behind. These 2 buttons are now recognized as button 5 & 6 in BetterMouse, hope all Master 3 users like it.

    Mail app not responding upon opening and slow to launch

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 01:30 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I hope I can find some help in regards to why the Mail app gets stuck opening on my M1 MacBook Air. I think this started happening ever since the very latest update (not beta), however I'm not 100% sure.

    When I click on the Mail app it just takes a long time to open, if I right click on the icon it says "Application not responding", checking the Activity Monitor the process doesn't take up any memory until the app actually opens.

    I've tried force quitting the app, rebuilding it, removing any account that may have had issues connecting to servers, deleting several com.apple.mail folders within the Library/Containers path.

    Is this happening to anyone else? Is there anything else I can try to fix it? It's very annoying. This is the only app that seems to have slowed down on my laptop.

    Thank you for any help in advance.

    Other than a sidecar feature, is there any way to use iPad for drawing on your conference calls/live screen sharing.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 02:10 AM PDT

    Hey folks, I do a lot of training sessions where I share my PowerPoint/browser and often I want to switch and draw something to explain the concept. I was wondering if there is a better way to use ipad as a drawing screen other than simply mirroring your screen via sidecar.

    Few awkwardness things I've noticed when trying different apps/setups

    • iPad has different aspect ratio than monitors, so either you get monitor into an awkward aspect ratio or get 16:9 on ipad and everything will be quite tiny (even on ipad pro)
    • Non-mirroring setup is super awkward because you would need constantly change sharing option on Zoom to swap between PowerPoint / Browser / Drawing app
    • I could dial on zoom/teams from iPad separately but again this means changing presenter constantly
    • I could use OneNote / Notes (or other apps) to draw on ipad, let them sync, and show it on mac but this typically means significant delay and doesn't feel fluid when things just appear on the screen rather than being drawn

    Has anyone encountered this dilemma and found any workable solution? Maybe ditching iPad for drawing tablet is the only way but I wanted to check if I can use what I already have, especially since both are always part of my travel setup anyway.

    How to test apps?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 01:53 AM PDT

    I am a poweruser who recently switched from WIndows to Mac OS, and so I want to find my perfect suite of apps for Mac. Of course this requires me testing various alternatives such as mail clients, media player and whatnot, and since I am switching from Windows, where applications leave a lot of unwanted stuff after uninstall I wonder whether I should worry about it when testing apps on the Mac? I test both AppStore and 3RD party apps.

    How can I delete this app from the Launchpad?

    It is not in the Applications folder either and I tried to uninstall it with CleanMyMac but it's not shown. Version: Catalina 10.15.7

    Thank you.

    Please help, buttons F7, F8, F9 don't work without Internet connection.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 03:51 AM PDT

    For the first time in 5 years I used my Macbook without WiFi, and it struck me that those buttons (Previous, Pause, Next) don't work in Itunes without Internet. Notification center widget buttons also don't work. As soon as I connect to WiFi, they all start working.

    Is it supposed to be like? And what logical explanation is behind this? I have a rather old OS (10.14.6 macOS Mojave), can it be the cause?

    If you have newer macOS, could you please check, if it is the same? And explain me the issue, if you know, what's going on. Thanks!

    Airplay no sound after Sleep

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 01:05 PM PDT

    I have a problem with my Mac Mini M1 on 12.3.1. I get no sound when I try to stream music via airplay to my mac from my iPhone or iPad. Sound works again after a reboot, but when I wake the mac up from sleep, airplay sound stops working again.

    Streaming videos on the other hand works every time, even after sleep and with sound. Has anyone else here this problem or even better, a solution?

    Chrome Amazon share button appeared

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 11:47 AM PDT

    Chrome Amazon share button appeared

    Hi all, I'm going crazy.

    On my MacBook Air, using safari (not in chrome), opening amazon, on every product photo there is the "share button" you can see in the screenshot. It's happened these days.

    On my Mac mini, condifigured as my air, there's no button.

    Tried to disable every extension. tried to reboot in safe mode. Nothing changes, the button is still there.

    In Safari for Mac there's no option for this. Is't not an amazon option, as on other computer it should appear.

    What is this??

    thanks!

    Keyboard shortcuts for moving window focus?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 04:53 AM PDT

    The more I use BetterTouchTool, the more I love it. I recently started using shortcuts for tiling my windows, and now there's only one thing missing that I just can't seem to find: a way to move window focus using shortcuts of my own choosing (I'm thinking something like shift+command+arrow keys).

    Can I do this inside the OS? Is there some software that let's me do this otherwise?

    Mac suddenly stuttering everywhere

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 10:23 AM PDT

    I'm running Big Sur 11.6.1 on a Macbook 13-inch M1 2020, and all of a sudden today my mac screen is now stuttering every 10 seconds across all apps, no matter what I'm doing. It's especially noticeable when I'm typing or with video playback. I first noticed on video playback in Apple TV, and I thought it was judder, but I checked using playback from YouTube, and it's stuttering there, too. When opening an app in dock, if it has been 10 seconds since the last stutter, the icon animation will stutter. All audio playback is normal.

    I didn't make any changes to system preferences. I wouldn't even know to change the screen refresh rate, there's no option for it anywhere. I've tried restarting my laptop three times, but the problem is still here. What could be going wrong?

    Time Machine Fails for Lack of Space After Monterey 12.3.1 update

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 09:06 AM PDT

    My Time Machine backup is roughly 5.4 TB, from the internal HD plus one external drive. The destination drive is 8TB, which could be bigger but was very much sufficient to store a back plus several older snapshots until I upgraded from 12.3 to 12.3.1. I do not generate a lot of new or revised documents, photos, etc daily so the drive should have plenty of rom for one complete plus a good number of differential snapshots going back weeks.

    Suddenly Time Machine says my backup drive has just 74GB available and clams it cannot complete a backup and I have no snapshots older than the day after I upgraded earlier this week. I have not seen other reports of 12.3.1 causing this issue but wonder if I missed them or if there are other possibilitiesor solutions.

    Using Automator to alert when Battery is at 100%?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:54 AM PDT

    I have a script set up on my iPhone that when it reaches 100% it will alert me that it is fully charged so I can unplug it and not leave it running for too long. Is there a way I can use automator to do the same on my M1 MacBook Air? I've just discovered that automator even exists so I'm really not that tech savvy at all.

    Set default audio device for alerts and sound effects?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:49 AM PDT

    I have been having a minor annoyance when it comes to sound effects and alerts. I use an app called eqMac as an equalizer for my bookshelf speakers. I turn off the equalizer when I am working on music production and want a flat response. The app shows up as its own audio device, and every time I turn it off and on again, the Alerts and Sound Effects setting in Audio MIDI Setup switches back to eqMac output. I want alerts and sound effects to play through the Macbook's built-in speakers, because when any sound effect plays through eqMac into my bookshelf speakers, it's extremely loud and annoying. Is there any way to make alerts and sound effects always play through the internal speakers no matter what?

    how to remove ".local" from prompt's $HOST

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:44 AM PDT

    I just did a fresh install of Monterey and my $HOST is foobar.local. Some of my scripts that check which machine I'm on fail because they are testing if I'm on "foobar" not "foobar.local". I'm not sure what changed from my old install and this new one...? Any takers? Would there be a problem if I split ".local" off from the variable?

    Are there any portable browsers for Mac?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 08:08 AM PDT

    I know that some browsers have "portable" versions for Windows - the kind where the entire profile directory is in the same folder as the app, so you can put it on a USB and use it on multiple machines without transferring the app/profile to the hard disk. I don't really have any strong preferences as to browsers, I just need one I can put on a USB like that... any ideas?

    Help, some applications won't open

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 07:54 AM PDT

    I updated my MacBook Pro 2020 to latest Monterey update and now opera gx, Spotify or discord won't work. I've tried to delete and download them again but it still doesn't work. The applications name comes up in the left corner but disappears after 5 sek and it just shuts down.

    Steam works perfectly though so Im confused what could be the problem.

    Battery Health drops 98% to 92% in 1 WEEK - MBA M1 (Monterey 12.3.1)

    Posted: 20 Apr 2022 07:28 AM PDT

    I'll cut it short: I've owned my MacBook for almost a year now - battery life has been exceptional. I always had optimized charging on (although never worked for me) and rightfully steered clear from apps like AlDente for as long as possible.

    ..until last week, and I regret it by all means. I set the charge limit to 80% and used my mac plugged/unplugged 50/50. Battery health dropped a % or two, so I thought it's a simple case of miscalibration (as mentioned by the AlDente developer here) and I can eventually fix it.

    When I saw it go down to at 93% yesterday I immediately uninstalled it and started the recalibration procedure as suggested. But after charging it fully at 93% BH, I see another sudden drop by 1%.

    I'm panicking. Have I messed up my perfect laptop? Is there any hope with the recalibration process?

    PSA: To those considering AlDente for their MacBooks, please don't. All the criticisms are true.
