system

It's all started with Ventura. rtcreportingd started to consume CPU cycles despite all the reports are disabled. I couldn't find a cause, but what I want is to prevent it from running AT ALL. So it never ever starts. It's not alone in my list. I also wish to do the same to some other processes...

UPDATE: Sonoma 14.1 has solved all issues mentioned here. --------- I own a couple of 2020 Mac Minis equipped with M1 processors. However, only one of them currently has Sonoma installed. This particular Mac has its storage and RAM fully maximized. To prevent any potential issues, I always...

Recently searched for a file known to be in ~/Library/Preferences/ (while in OS 10.15), and got no results. Same in 10.11. (But worked in 10.6.) Files within other "system" folders can be located, and results were always set to "include System Files" and "Visible OR Invisible" and standard...

Hello Apple friends. Besides Disk Utility and Onyx (not CleanMyMac trial which I've used already and the trial is not expired), are there any totally free macOS utility that fixes and cleans the system in macOS? If you could recommend more, that'd be great. I've been restoring to Time Machine...

Hey all! I tried what the results show here on MacRumors and otherwise on Google I removed the Document Revisions folder. I checked Time Machine Backups I also checked the Photos app as per this similar thread here All no dice. I did an NVRAM reset, no go. this is an iMac Pro 2017. What could...

Hello so I would like to change the system sounds on this version of macOS as I find the new ones to be quite annoying specificity sounds with in the following path /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/SharedSupport/SystemSounds and I would like to change it with a set of...

Hi all, So I got my G4 Cube onto my desk the other day (after spending around a year on a shelf on display) she’s now setup with Mac OS. 9.2.2 and OS X Jaguar as a working computer and it actually works great with my FireWire 400 capture box And Final Cut Pro Version 3. Something my 15 inch MBP...

Hi, I recently installed AudFree_Spotify_Music_Converter_1.5.0 which allows you to download music from Spotify. Unfortunately, since then I can no longer listen to Spotify on the Mac and all the system sounds such as the sound of the emptying basket have also disappeared. Instead, I can hear the...

Hello. I was printing a document using pages, something went wrong I had to force quit the printing queue. Since that moment I can no longer print anything, neither can I open Printers & Scanners. I tried : -logging in as a Guest user - same problem. -booting into Safe Mode - same problem in...

How can I delete my system files? I don't have any time machine back-up and I don't use apple mail either. Please help!

Hi, Please, don't give me a lecture on "the password fail-safe protects your system". Of course it does, I'm not stupid. It's annoying to have to keep typing in a password when all I want to do is change one small computer control. I coded my own system monitoring program. It monitors Ghz...

After sweating during several days and finally with the phone assistance of a very kind Apple supporter who spent over an hour on the phone to help me. I finally managed to reinstall Bootcamp Windows 10 in my MacPro End 2013. :) For unknown reasons it had gotten corrupt and non working. While I...

I have noticed that Available storage displayed in Settings is wrong and much larger than actual available storage. Several system info apps and Adobe Lightroom show that I only have ~6GB of available storage against the ~40gb shown by System setting. Trying to add content (music, app...

So, in the process of trying to clean up my computer this week, I've somehow made my problem worse. Yesterday, I had 36 GB available of space. I went through the process of removing nearly 10GB of material from my computer in videos, pictures, documents, and unused apps. Now, however, I have...

Hey guys, I want to restore my iMac G3 and have the original disks ('Software Restore' and 'Software Install'). Both have options to essentially install OS9. What is the difference between the 2 ways of doing it? Thanks

Hey, I'm new here. My system storage is taking up 80 Gigs of space for some reason. I don't think it's normal for it to take so much space. My applications and Documents are 12 Gigs and 10 Gigs. I have heard time machine creates stamps which takes up space. So I tried inputting sudo...

Hello, hope you are doing good. I went to About This Mac and checked Storage. It says that the System takes up 112 GB of space on my internal SSD. I have a 2017 iMac with interal SSD and the latest High Sierra version. I have very little stuff on my computer. A few big apps but they just take...

So I have a Mac Pro 1.1, worked perfectly fine. As I was looking at replacing the HDD with a SSD I had both HDD's out of the cabinet. Long story short, the plan was rejected so I went to connect my drives again. So now im stuck at boot with the "cannot find system disk" icon, a folder with a...
