Pretty sure as the old rMBP was booted into Target Disk Mode and the new machine hadn't even been linked to a WiFi network.

If you open MA on both ends it'll make a peer-to-peer wireless connection no matter what you try to do. Since you're doing target disk mode that obviously won't happen so I can't say what's going on. (When we tried target disk mode between two 2016s via usbc/thunderbolt, it just wanted to charge one computer from the other, lol.)

IMO you should do a throughput experiment on the TDM'd Mac with 'dd' or something like that after the migration is done. TDM might not be as fast as you'd expect or hope. I would give good odds on all the data flowing through a software translation layer implemented in the UEFI firmware environment, which isn't necessarily optimized for speed.

I just got a call from my dad that he deleted all his emails thinking he was real smart since 'they were still in the cloud' but I guess he'd been pulling them all down locally. As I understand it he deleted them all through mail.app and then emptied the recycle bin. What's my best bet for recovery software? I'm okay paying for it.

Anyone else having trouble authenticating with Google Accounts? My Google Apps account for work is fine, but I can't seem to login to my personal gmail. Tried deleting and re-adding it, same result. I put in my password, then the 2FA code, then it hangs here forever

If you activate Time Machine with the menu bar icon while Mail.app has focus, it will offer to restore backed up email messages to a new mailbox. I once managed to lose all of the messages in my iCloud account, and learned of this little trick from an Apple phone tech.

Are there any mac music players that can do some or all of these things that foobar2000 does:
Also, if there isn't something like this doesn't exist, are there 2 apps that can accomplish everything (e.g. a music player with support for a wide variety of formats and a tag/rename program that can handle everything else)? e: missed 1 feature Splinter fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Feb 16, 2017 |

Thanks everybody for the recovery tips! The best part is I set my dad up with an external drive for Time Machine but he didn't keep it connected after the initial sync... a year ago.

I followed the instructions I found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25032863 to set up a script that I can execute using SSH to turn on target display mode on an iMac and it works fine in testing but it doesn't seem to work unless a physical keyboard is plugged into the iMac when the script is run. Obviously this kind of defeats the purpose of having a script to turn on TDM, since I have no use for the iMac any more and want to use it strictly as a display and not have an extra keyboard at my desk. Am I missing something here? Is there some kind of fake software keyboard that I can load that will let this script execute? I've even tried running it locally with the OSX built-in soft keyboard and it doesn't work. Sorry if this is an easy answer, I'm new to supporting Macs and would really like to impress people at my internship by making this work. I can share the scripts I'm using, but considering everything works fine with a keyboard plugged in, I'm pretty sure that this is the root cause.

I was looking at some of the 'host your own private cloud/Dropbox clone stuff' like Nextcloud (just as something to play around with, not anything I desperately need to do), but it looks like most of them offer Mac clients but don't support hosting it on a Mac. Does anybody have a recommendation for something like that using a Mac server for it? Edit: I should have specified that I have a machine running MacOS Sierra with Apple's Server.app on it in case that matters for what the options are.

Don't use Server.app, it's been dead for years and the installation/deployment scripts will probably never work and running ancient Server.app services on your home pc sounds like a good way to get pwned. A Linux VM or container is much easier - people already made Vagrant and Docker configs and you can be up and running with a couple commands.

Well they update it for OS revisions so the front-end will keep running (last update for macOS server is Sept 30, 2016). But unlike macOS, you have pay $20 for the server tools every time a new OS is released. I don't believe it really installs much and it's just a front end for a bunch a stuff that's already present and not enabled in the OS. However, the front-end really hasn't changed much and it's poo poo. If you *really* have to have your Mac run as a server, use something like Homebrew to install what you need. If you're at a point where you need something to run services on your network/Internet, you're better off doing as emoji says above. rear end Catchcum posted:I just almost bought server last night. What is a secure way to access media from my Mac on my iOS devices away from home while the home Mac is running a vpn? Plex is messing up. If you want to go the low effort route, get a pfSense SG-1000 Netgate and have it act as a VPN concentrator and connect via L2TP client baked into iOS. It is about $150, but will probably be the easiest secure way to get to your internal network with the least amount of effort. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Feb 20, 2017 |

rear end Catchcum posted:What would this do? the pfSense? You set up a VPN service and then when you're not at home, you connect back to the VPN. This will give you access to your any services on your home LAN. You can also set it up so all your Internet traffic uses your home Internet connection. For instance, if you're at a Starbucks and you connect to their public WiFi, you can connect to your VPN in the pfSense so that ALL Internet traffic from your phone goes over the VPN and then out your home Internet. This way all the network communication in the Starbucks is encrypted. You can also use it over your mobile LTE/3G connection if you want (but you may not want to if you have a limited data plan).

rear end Catchcum posted:What If I already pay for a vpn tho? You no longer have to? Or you can if you have data caps on your home Internet or need to use exit nodes in other countries. But really, if you want to make your home network resources available to remote devices, it's better to have the remote devices VPN back home than to punch a hole out to the Internet from your home network. To have services available via the Internet can be difficult to do right if you want to make sure you're secure.

rear end Catchcum posted:What If I already pay for a vpn tho? It's a VPN for a different purpose. I'm pretty sure the VPN you pay for is for privacy/security/streaming purposes; hosting a VPN server at your home would be for remote access to your LAN. VPNing into your home would do little for privacy/security/streaming since the traffic would look like it's coming from your house rather than your actual location.

smax posted:It's a VPN for a different purpose. I'm pretty sure the VPN you pay for is for privacy/security/streaming purposes; hosting a VPN server at your home would be for remote access to your LAN. Yeah, but I presumably already have my home connection reasonably secured. My concern at that point is a)making sure I'm encrypted over the public WiFi part of the connection and b)access to my Home LAN network services without having to punch additional holes in my firewall or complicating my setup with a DMZ. Currently, I have a VPN provider. It's less about "privacy" or hiding what I'm streaming and more about making sure I'm not sending clear packets over some schlubs public wifi connection. However, I'm going to be setting up a VPN on my pfSense box and ditching the provider since I have a decent enough upload speed for VPN to make sense for any streaming I want to do (like PS Vue over VPN so I can still stream the local channels on the go). I imagine if you're using it to avoid detection for  or streaming from a pirated feed, that wouldn't work very well. (no judgement, just not my personal use case)

I use logitech's software to accomplish this (so I can make it application specific since I bound it to my middle mouse button, but use the actual middle mouse button for games & stuff like Blender). But if you want a button to just be mission control & can be done right here:  e: Oh I just realized that you also mean having the spaces immediately visible at the top too. Hmm...
