I have had my beloved M1 Mac Mini since the spring of 2022. Rugged, dependable workhorse. I recently updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.1 from MacOS Ventura 13. Unfortunately, there was an immediate side-effect: AirDrop started acting up. This happened before, but not recently. Here's how it goes...

My elderly parents used a working 13-inch late-2013 Core i5 MacBook Pro until recently. The battery failed. Even if you unplug it just to move it somewhere else in the house and plug it back in, it would restart. I decided the only way to get things moving again for them was to by a temporary...

My elderly parents own a late-2013-vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro running MacOS Mojave. A few months ago, the battery failed in this laptop, meaning it must be plugged-in at all times. The instant it is disconnected, it behaves like a desktop Mac suffering from a power failure; it reboots the next...

According to this page: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40593/10.14/mac/10.14 it’s perfectly possible - in Mojave - to encrypt an external HDD - any removable media in fact - with a couple of mouse clicks. Yet that option doesn’t appear in the context-sensitive menu when I...

Our household has an old HP LaserJet 4100N plugged into our AirPort Extreme base station via Ethernet. It worked fine until I clean installed MacOS Mojave onto my Intel iMac recently. Now the iMac won't recognize the printer; it acts like the 4100N isn't even there.

Hi all. I've been on macOS Sierra for awhile but I've been wondering if I should update. I've heard bad things about High Sierra, such as it being unstable, buggy and "Apple's Vista," on the other hand I've heard that Mojave doesn't work that well with my Graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M...

Hi there! Is it possible to make Finder stay in front (keep its focus) after double clicking a file? Usually, the app that is supposed to open the file gets the focus, which is what I'm trying to temporarily stop... This is my first post on this forum, so... be kind, please! Thank you. P.S. I...

hi ... I have a MBP A1708 2017 non-touchbar (13") and I recently updated to SSD Sabrient Rocket Nano but when starting OS Mojave, I can only start if I press the Command key, otherwise it stays on the screen with the question mark (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204323) .I already looked for...

What happened is that I decided to set my Mac up as new, had some problems with my storage because of the 128GB model, so I did that and when I tried to erase the disk, it supposedly went through, I got the green check mark like meaning “successfully erased” then I noticed there was like 40GB of...

I backup my devices to iCloud, but also try to backup via iTunes every couple of weeks. Today I offloaded unused apps on my iPad Pro, and disabled a few from syncing with iCloud to do a backup. I had disabled Calendar, Contacts, Game Center and Notes since I no longer need them on my iPad...

Hey there. So I've got a 5K iMac from 2017 with 8 gigs of ram and I recently just updated to the newest version of Mojave. After updating, however, I have next to no ram free at around ~1.5 gigs. Before the update, it used to be fast and snappy but now it takes a long ass time for anything to...

I tried getting help from the HP website but because the printers out of warranty, all I can do is post in their forums. Which I did a week ago but haven't received any responses. So hopefully someone here can help :) We have two HP printers in our home. The first is an HP Envy 5643...

I want to triple boot my 2012 15” classic non retina MacBook Pro (cMBP) with MacOS Mojave Windows 10 and Linux (will decide on the distro later) while making a fusion drive from the 512 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD inside the machine? I’m thinking of partitioning the SSD to 80 GB to Linux 100 to Windows...

Hello, I have a question about dark mode in Mac OS Mojave. I love dark everywhere except Notification center because it makes the message bubbles dark with very black text and I cannot read anything with out squinting. I prefer light mode notification center because it is still dark but had...

What are your Geekbench and Cinema Bench scores? Mine seem a little low when I compare them to other MBP 13-inch scores, however, I never find some to my exact specs. So, how do you guys compare?
