Why in the world would Apple remove the ability to quick delete messages in the Messages app on MacOS? This change is beyond frustrating. Is anyone aware of a way to enable the delete option when you hovered over a conversation? ?

Hi. I was looking on my iMac under About This Mac>Storage tab and it said this: I took this screenshot under a different login, because I did have one login, then I created a second profile for an "experiment." When I made my MacRumors account, I always do mixed up letters and numbers for my...

Does anyone know how to customize the Finder Menu Bar Window Menu so that it reverts to the former behavior? I'd like that the alphabetically ordered list of open windows at the menu's bottom is showing just the active window tabs again and none of the inactive tabs. TL;DR; Until the switch to...

I use an iMac Core i5 2.9 GHz running MacOS Sierra. Other family members use a MacBook Pro with a Core i5 also running Sierra. We frequently swap files between them using thumb drives. 99.99% of the time, this is a simple and reliable means of temporary transfer and storage. We usually swap...

I noticed after installing Safari 12 that my Spotlight searches would crash Spotlight. After typing in a few characters, the search field would disappear and the magnifying glass in the upper-right corner of the screen would disappear briefly then reappear. I discovered in System Preferences if...

Several weeks ago, I bought a Microsoft install DVD for Windows 10 at Walmart. I have been a Mac user since 1986, but I have also worked with Windows PCs in the past. Most of my Windows experience were with PCs running Win 8 and Win 10. I have never used Boot Camp or other Windows-on-Mac...

I currently own an Core i5 iMac, with others in the family using a 13-inch Core i5 MacBook Pro. Both machines run MacOS Sierra, but they are getting "old". Eventually, they may need to be replaced. We have a small family business that is not very active right now. That could change in the...

I have an iPhoto library that contains about 65,000 images. I rely heavily on iPhoto's proprietary features, and have been since I started using the first version of iPhoto when Apple released it well over a decade ago. Apple's concept of a well-designed "digital shoebox" has proven itself...

Hey, all! Long-time listener, first-time caller... Somehow I used to be able to use Quick Look to see more detailed stats of a file--most importantly [1] the version number of Mac apps (*.app), and [2] the details of audio files (artist, title, bitrate, etc.) instead of playing the audio. Then...

Hi all, I have recently been experiencing an inconvenient and honestly infuriating issue on my Mac running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 where some 'bird' process just sits there at 100% CPU usage all the time without actually accomplishing anything. In the attached screenshot, you can see that the...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help with the following problem. For a good few years we have been using an old PMG5 running OS X 10.5.8 Server v1.1, as a stand alone TimeMachine backup Server. It's worked fantastically well backing up all our iMacs, Macbook etc to its internal HD. We run primarily...

I was given a shiny new MBP 2016 with Touchbar at work. It was immediately shelved, the main reason being: performance when resizing windows is so frustrating that I just could not get over it. In 2012 I bought an MBP, the latest one before Retina regeneration. I'm surprised to say that after...
