desktop

I have been taking some training on Objective C. I have finished all the content in the course. I feel the course was excellent. However, I still feel like I do not know how to make a desktop application for OS X. The Cocoa framework was also covered a little in the training. I guess now I need...

Hi there! I've had the pleasure of owning a 2011 MacBook Pro for more than six years now. Not too long ago I noticed a considerable drop in its speed and battery charge retention. I know these issues can be fixed wit replacement parts and other tune ups but, I was curious about turning my...

I’ve started a new open-source project called nonky https://github.com/0i0/nonky nonky is a desktop customization platform. A little bit like conky for linux, or geektool for mac it lets you retrieve data from many sources and display them right on your desktop. It uses well known web...

Ive been reading threads of people replacing their laptops with iPad Pros and it being pretty successful at doing so. Has anyone tried a desktop setup for the iPad? I love being mobile with my 10.5 iPad Pro but sometimes I find the need to sit at the desk and work to really be productive. At the...

What are y'all's favorite notebook accessories? Usually i'm doing graphic design, which is difficult to do with the trackpad. I shamelessly carry a wireless USB mouse... I also use a keybodo cover so that I don't have to deal with spills from my coffee, which has happened more than once...

Sorry, but didn't know where to put this and I know its a PC but I have found many here reliable so hopefully you can help me out! I might be getting a desktop rather than laptop. Was going to get the Macbook Pro but my parents are questioning me and now said to look into a laptop. My budget is...

I own an early 2011 MBP 13". Config is 2.3GHz i5, 275GB SSD, 500GB HDD (no optical drive) and new battery and speakers. Though my machine runs absolutely smooth it's weight, display and speaker quality and overall ergonomics have started to bother me. The new machines are so much thinner and...

i've just "upgraded" to sierra and whenever i separate a tab from a finder window, a small folder icon appears on the desktop. sometimes it floats on top of other windows - see attached. it's really annoying - especially since i turned off automatically creating tabs instead of folder windows...

Hello! I've been trying to declutter and organize my desktop and I thought, how can I make the folders play nicer? Is it possible to implement a view option, that opens a folder on the desktop with a single click, without actually opening it, and just shows its contents in a grid for easier...

Is there a way/a button to click with the trackpad on my Mac to go straight to the Desktop without having to click finder and pressing FN? On Windows PCs, as a lot of people probably know, there's a button at the bottom right of the computer where you can click to go to the desktop, really easy...

Hey all, I recently financed a late 2015 27" iMac to replace a late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" Here is some background for the decision, and situation I have here: About a year after I got the MBP, I really had no more need for a laptop, so I used said computer as a desktop for a couple years with...

Every 10 to 15 minutes, the desktop of my new MBP freezes. I cannot click anything, nor can I open any new app. The only solution is to force shut down the MacBook and restart it to make it work again. Any solutions or similar experiences?

This might be a stupid post but, it would be interesting to see your PPC desk setup. If its been done before then why not post an updated photo!. Recently I've pulled my gaming windows PC out and got a new desk for a refresh and setup an iMac g4 as a daily computer. My Favourite (in gary oldmans...

Hi, I am using Sierra 10.12.1 and want to move the widgets from the dashboard to desktop. I tried various F12 techniques but it seems not working on this new version. Any ideas please? Cheers!

Hi y'all, I've got a 13-inch Early 2011 MBP, 2.3GHz i5 with 4GB memory. I'm wondering whether it's worth opening the guts and chucking an SSD at 16GB memory in there or it's just not worth it? This MBP is pretty much used as my desktop setup at home. I've plugged it into a Samsung monitor...

Ever since I installed Sierra, I see that when I'm on a Desktop, I'm having to click twice on a dock icon to switch to an (open) application. Clicking once just changes the menu bar name to that application. I've tried "System Preferences --> Mission Control --> "When switching to an...

For those of you who desire a better looking Dock -- other than Apple's current abomination, that is -- and who want to do it "naturally" without relying upon any third party apps or haxies -- such as cDock -- you might consider doing the following: 1. Discover what your machine's default...

Good Day Folks, So I have an issue with El Capitan, and in testing macOS Sierra it's present there for me as well. The issue is that Mac OS will NOT center my large images for my desktop wallpaper. My screen resolution is 1920x1080 and no matter how much larger the image is over that size, it...
