My Mac Studio has had problems with displaying the wallpaper on wake from sleep since new (Apr 2022). Since then some symptoms have gone and others arisen. At present on wake from sleep: the Desktop is black i.e. no wallpaper; the Dock, which is hidden, cannot be displayed; the Switcher does...

I started noticing this in Ventura and it continues in Sonoma, and now I'm seeing if anyone can provide an explanation for some odd behavior. I can't find anything on this elsewhere and I've searched several times. Scenario: Some image thumbnails on my Desktop are dim and others are not. I...

10 years ago, I started my Mac developer career right here at MacRumors. Today, I'm super excited to announce our latest app project! Meet Backdrop, our Next-Gen Wallpaper Engine for macOS Backdrop redefines the Mac desktop experience by replacing the traditional Mac wallpaper with a new...

Something tells me that the new magic, keyboard, trackpad, and mouse with USB-C that we were expecting with the new iMac is going to be released alongside the new Mac mini with the M3 chip. Of course, Apple will announce it alongside their desktop that doesn’t come with any mouse and keyboard to...

Prior to Sonoma, Finder always remembered my last drive icon positions on the desktop. I'm on a MacBook. It didn't matter if I had an external monitor connected, no monitors, or even two monitors...Finder would remember the last saved icon positions on reboot. With Sonoma, it *never* remembers...

Hi everybody, all at sudden I am experiencing the issue in the image. Only opening finder menu from desktop I am viewing a small menu with the scrollbar (that is totally unusable). Do you know how to get back the full menu with all the items in the list? Thank you! :)

I have a 2013 27 inch iMac and it has gotten so slow as I upgrade to new Mac OS operating systems. I need to buy a new desktop computer very soon but I’m getting tired waiting around for the new iMacs to be released. Now they say they may be released in November! It’s only been over 800 days...

Currently i'm using a Macbook Air M1 connected to a Monitor over a single USB-C cable (65W Power Delivery and DP Alt-Mode Video) I'm planning to use my 12" iPad Pro M1 device and Magic Keyboard as desktop system and replace the MBA. Today i connected the iPad Pro to the USB-C cable from my...

I was just wondering if Spotify has quitly been rolling out a new design on Mac – didn't read anything about it...Do you guys have the new design as well and – if so – is there a way to go back?

I try to get better with windows management and general workflow in MacOS. When I code on my small 13" Macbook Air I need to be efficient where to put my IDE, my terminals, my Notes, and my Browser. I find it quite handy to use 2 Desktops for this, which I create with Mission Control. Ok. so...

Hey Yall... What is the best way to make sure all my business files are available on 2 Macs at once in real-ish time? (plus accessible on my iPad Pro) I'm a real estate broker with thousands of files of properties. I need to access all of the files form my Studio, Macbook Pro & iPad pro...

Hi, Just got a new mac mini, and I hoped it would be possible to have same files (synchronized over iCloud) on both desktops of the new mini and MBP. However, when I try to access iCloud Desktop folder on the mini, it's empty and doesn't show any files from the older MBP. Perhaps that's natural...

I have an iMac 2013 (10.15.7) that I did a Time Machine backup / Migration to a new Macbook Air M2. Migration was flawless, but I realized afterwards that were some apps that needed to be removed, so started doing so by moving them to the trash. Everything in the Application and Utilities...

Been using Mac for around 5 years now as my sole work/home environment coming from a long Unix/Linux professional career. Almost never a Windows user if not a looooong time ago. Most of the time I spend coding with my IDE (Visual Studio Code) in full screen and also usually the browser and...

My desktop image slideshow is designed to show the images at actual size, so quite small. However they are stretched across the entire screen. How do I revert to the small images, centered on the screen? They are all different sizes, but none are "wallpaper"-size.

Hello everyone! Days ago I started a thread to think which MacBook I should buy. I'm the middle of my PhD and I wanted to replace my 2013 MBA for a M1 MacBook. Nonetheless, the prices are high and I would have to buy even more docks and adapters because the newer models are basically port-less...

So, I have an iMac Late 2012 3TB Fusion. but whenever I turn it on there’s clicking sounds (6 sounds to be exact) and after that it continues to start perfectly normal with no issues at all after that it doesn’t even turn off by itself when I’m using it. It’s 3TB fusion drive but, after it...

Is it possible to enlarge the fonts of the Viber desktop app?

I just received this iMac about 6 days ago. I ordered it officially through the Apple website. When I turned it on, the screen looked a little odd to me. Like there was too much light internal light shining through the display causing it to look overly bright and washed out in some areas. If...
