I read somewhere that dark mode was by large the choice of smartphone users (over 80%!). I find this figure suspiciously very high. And it has me wonder how many people actually use dark mode on macOS. I wonder because each time Apple promote macOS or macOS Preview, they have nice light mode...

Any chance macOS 14 allows using the apple password manager on apps like chrome or other web browsers? I know they have a plug-in for PCs but not for Macs.

Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

What does it mean when the installer said, “The sampled color is not equal to the first color, this isn't an Apple logo boot image” during install?

Hi all, First off, apologies if this issue has already been discussed and solved. I did quite a few searches and didn't find anything related to this specific issue I've been having. I've been running into constant storage issues with my work computer (2020 M1 MBP, Ventura). I'm unfortunately...

Hi all Apple has mentioned that there are improvements to hybrid and remote workflows: I have been dreaming of an own Cloud Development setup, where I can have a stationary Mac Studio in the office and a MacBook Air on the go that connects to the Studio remotely. I haven’t found anything in...

I googled this question, but oddly, there is no information for OSes after macOS Catalina 10.15. So I created a poll here.

Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful? Maybe Apple is making a tribute to Windows XP? Or possibly their “Get a Mac” ad campaign, which started when XP was still the...

The recently introduced aerial dynamic wallpapers with macOS Sonoma are cool but the problem is that they take HUGE amount of disk space (almost 10GB). How can I remove them? I've tried: - Right click, ctrl click, tap and hold on the thumbnail in sys settings - Searching the library folder for...

Edit/tldr: Apple are showing off years old AAA games to show how powerful their chips are. But gaming is far bigger and varied than AAA games. They need to help cultivate development- AAA and indie. I don’t feel like they are doing that. Hey guys. I want to preface this by saying that I love...

I understand that Lockdown Mode (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) is to increase security. But I read somewhere (IT tech website) that if Lockdown Mode enabled, there would be have some negative impact on your device's privacy. Apple explain some trade-off on Lockdown Mode, but as far as I know they...

I converted a macOS programme for the iPhone. WOW!!! Is that slow? At first, I wondered if I was making a lot of disc accesses. However, as I began to examine, I realised I was just reading an offset from a binary file. Only roughly 512 bytes of data were read in. I also have a sizable array...

With macOS 14 being announced in a few hours I wanna know how you guys felt about Ventura. I heard people talk about bugs and some talk about the new features in Ventura. I just wanna know how good ventura was for you.

From time to time, on macOS, I get a notification in the top right corner of the screen (I think that is the Control Centre area). I will click the drop down on the Reminder notification and choose 'Complete'. However, sometimes the Reminders app on macOS and on iOS remain, versus being marked...

Hi guys. I don't even know if this is the right place to share this but I'm gonna post it any way. The problem is that my YouTube history started showing some random videos that I never watched. I discovered this issue about 5 days ago. Right after I realized about it, I changed my Google...

Hello, I am looking for free VNC app for macOS. I would like to have VNC server on Windows machine and something like VNC viewer on macOS machine. Do you know maybe such app? Regards :)

Hello, I'm new here. I have a MacBook Air 2011 13" with 4GB of RAM, and I would like to know your opinion: Which is the best macOS in terms of performance and GeekBench score? The highest compatibility for my system is High Sierra. Currently, I am running macOS Ventura because I felt that High...

I just finally updated from Monterrey to Ventura and my Calendar notifications are not showing up anymore, especially if the alerts where set for a time when the Mac was turned off. E.g.: I turn my computer on at 10am and all the all-day events with alerts for 9am never trigger. Alerts that...
