This MacBook Pro (Late 2013) has been working well for last 5 years when I purchased it on 2014. No problem until a recent update was installed. Currently, it is running macOS 10.15.7. However, all apps are running very slow even it takes a while to display app icons in Application folder, not...

Hi everyone, I have a problem booting on my Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) disk image. It all started with me trying to have a look on Big Sur (stuck with catalina), but to prevent damage, I decided to clone my "Macintosh HD" volume and my "BOOTCAMP" volume with CCC on two distinct sparsebundle...

Hello, I have my Mac set to Spanish and my Apple ID is set to Spain. However the Music app, Podcasts app and tv app's web-embedded parts (i.e. Browse, For you, Top Charts) are in English. I can fix this after going to Account > View my account, but after a certain amount of time or restarting...

I decided to test out and try to document which Apple Arcade games work on early Intel, non-Metal Macs running Catalina unofficially. For some reason, not all games are made for the Metal API, which means that some work surprisingly well. Some also used to work, but no longer do (Crossy Road...

In the past, I would add the next macOS version to my Apple ID within the App Store, to allow me to use/install a specific macOS version at a future date. However, now macOS is part of the system's Software Updates. How can I download macOS Big Sur, not install, and keep for a future date? I...

I have installed a Samsung 870 QVO in my 2008 MacBook Pro. Then I've installed Catalina 10.15.7 with dosdude's patcher and then installed my time mahine backup. The problem is, that the system crashes and restarts every time I try to wake it up from sleep mode. I have noticed that TRIM was...

I have mba 2020, fresh install Catalina latest version. It started 2 months ago, when it’s awake every 2 minutes and end up with empty battery the next day. I already disabled WiFi, find my Mac, disable power nap, change hibernate mode to 25, disable key chains, with no results. Sometimes, it...

Hi, I have done a bit of research, and I have 3 machines that are either going to be thrown away, or upgraded to use as mild rendering machines for furniture design, and a bit of AR for online retail, (this will be eventually for my business) booting latest windows, and or Mac os, via either a...

Hi all, I have a MacBook pro 13 mid-2014 A1502, on which I have been running Windows for years (I can't even remember what macOS I had on there). The thing is, I recently replaced my 256gb ssd with a 1tb ssd card. I received a bootable Catalina Macos USB with it, which I have been trying to...

Hello, I've recently learned that a stalker has stolen my spare key and has had access to my iMac while I was away from home. I believe she installed a keylogger on my iMac. My question is: if the keylogger had used my camera, would the green light have turned on, even when taking a quick...

In MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.7), I see an icon on the righthand side of the menu bar. Clicking on it showed the pinwheel for a long time. Eventually it went away, but the system was sluggish. And I had to Force Quit the system to restart. The icon I am talking...

How long does it take to install Catalina (from Mojave?) it seems to be stuck (on the progress bar) at around approx 5%.

When I try to Save a photo using Save As, I get this error message: I can save to the same folder every other time, but I can’t with this current photo. Not sure why. Any ideas are welcome. Please help! Thanks!

Is the Installer for Catalina still available? When I go to the App store, it doesn't show up in the Search. I downloaded it at one time, but it's not listed in my Purchased Apps. There are some links found on a Google search. When I click on them, they bring up Big Sur download. Thanks.

I apologize. I have looked a zillion places and read a zillion articles. If there is one that addresses this head-on, I've not found it; hence this query. • Backed-up entire internal drive, with Catalina OS installed, to external drive using CCC • Will install larger SSD in place of current...

I've been trying to downgrade to Catalina from Big Sur for 2 days now on a brand new machine that came with Big Sur. I've tried numerous ways. Currently, I'm running into 2 issues. (Ignore the wrong screen resolution in the photos below - this seems to be an effect while in Recovery Mode only...

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me figure out my issue because even the Apple Phone Support guy couldn't. I have a very old MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid-2012 (10,1) that stopped starting up. Nothing I tried worked so I gave up on it and used my iMac and iPad mainly. Months later, I decided I...
