Just installed Mojave. Loving Dark Mode and Safari seems to be much improved. Alfred's lost all of my website bookmarks though. I'm hoping telling my computer to index itself again will bring them back.

I use it very occasionally from my work laptop to access my iMac at home and, since updating both machines, I can't seem to 'see' my iMac from my MacBook unless I'm actually sitting in the same room. I’d check your Sharing settings. I know they wanted to lock down remote access, but I thought it was only programmatic that they were killing it (kickstart binary).

Dark Mode For Safari got a small update that eliminates white flashes when going between web pages. Works great in High Sierra..

I just switched back to Mac after a few years away, but I don't actually understand what I'm doing on the file system. I keep my photos on a NAS, and have used Lightroom on my Windows desktop to access them and import them. I would like to move that over to photos on my MBP. I thought I had that figured out by unchecking this box: And then I added the photos to the library. I ran a test on a few, and it seemed like it worked. It made a thumbnail, but when I clicked on the picture while disconnected from the network, I got a grey picture. So far so good. But then I tried to add my other pictures to Photos. I left it running, and it used the wifi like crazy, only in the morning to leave me with a notification that there was insufficient storage on my laptop. Short question: How do I add networked photos to a laptop in Photos, when I won't always be on the network?

Is there a common thing that might stop the ">"s on the left to open folders in a root view in Finder working? Typically it's happened to a drive where I do a lot of file sorting, so I tend to have lots of subfolders open but they've disappeared and I can't work out why. If I go into any of the folders, they appear as visible. Maybe unmount/mount will do, but the drive is active a lot so that/rebooting will fix it if nothing else does hopefully.

I updated my 2016 MBP w/ TB to Mojave a few weeks back. All of a sudden I get a popping sound in my speakers a dozen times a day. Just one, quick, moderately loud popping sound (almost like you would get from plugging or unplugging a live microphone). I noticed it after about 5 minutes of my first boot of Mojave so it has to be some kind of software thing, right?

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:I just got this and holy poo poo this is a lot of unnecessary information presented in the most cluttered way imaginable, even after cutting it down to the bare essentials. It reminds me of Stardock's old Windows products like DesktopX. Are you just strewing it across the menu bar? Or did you unify the sensors using the "combined" switch so they display like this:  I do have weather broken out, but all the others are set to high level representation of the other stat menus. You can then hover over each section to get more detailed information and quick access to Apple utilities. I mean, if it's not for you, it's not for you. I agree having live sensors in the menu-bar is the ugliest poo poo I've ever seen. But with being able to collapse it all down into a single menu-bar icon out of the way, I've found it so useful when I need to troubleshoot.

As I've been getting back into my old mid 2012 MacBook I have been enjoying it and finding it capable of general tasks as well as photo editing - all good except the speakers are weak. So I spent some time looking for the system wide eq and there is none. Kind of baffling that they don't include one but after some research I found apps that cost money that can do it (I am against paying to add basic functionality) but also this guy: https://bitgapp.com/eqmac/ EQmac2 might be well known to mac people but in case it wasn't i figured I'd share here. It does what you would expect and is system wide. Good poo poo.

I got a new macbook pro for work, it's great and fancy and so far I love it. The second day I was using it, I noticed something crawling on my screen and tried to brush the bug off. It didn't move. drat thing is IN the screen and died right about where my chrome tabs are lined up at the top of the screen. Apple and their loving bugs...

I have iCloud backup for my phone including photos. I then have the PC iCloud desktop application syncing down photos to my PC which are then backed up with all my other photos to another backup solution. I upgraded iCloud to the family sharing plan and added my wife’s phone (different Apple account obviously). Her photos are being saved to iCloud but they are not being synced down to my PC through the PC iCloud desktop application. I assume this is because on the PC iCloud desktop application I can only log in using my own Apple account. Does anyone have any suggestions on supplementing the iCloud backup with another backup option in this scenario. Seems like I shouldn’t really bother with the sync down to PC and just periodically copy over photos from our phones to my PC for permanent backup while having iCloud backup for phone disaster scenarios.

Last Chance posted:You could set up a secondary machine with an iCloud account that syncs the photos down if you really want local backups. I'm at a point where I don't really bother with local backups of my photos and I hope it doesn't bite me in the rear end. They just go up to iCloud, vaya con dios. Yeah but that means you can never delete them from your phone either.

The naming might be possible by editing the right file with Terminal (looks like /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.plist), but I would be wary. With enrollment profile, though you could place one on the volume, I think in the best scenario you're going to run into UAMDM if you're running anything 10.13.4+. Are you the guy who has Jamf but can't use it because of office politics? Are you starting to use it now and need to enroll devices? With a live Jamf server, there are other ways you could handle both tasks. nitsuga fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Oct 18, 2018 |

Sadly, I'm still trying to get by with Server.app profile management. On one hand, it's hilariously limited. On the other hand, I don't think it involves any kernel extensions, so UAMDM shouldn't matter, right?

I’m currently using ublock because I’m used to using it with chrome/firefox, but it comes with a “this will slow down your browser” warning, though it seems to run fine. i think 'will slow down your web browsing' is a bit of a misnomer, it should really be 'may slow down your web browsing'. like afaik ublock and all the non-content blocker api blockers do the blocking through javascript, which is going to add some CPU and RAM overhead. makes sense why they don't support this on ios. in practice though i'm using a tower mac pro with 6 cores and 16gb RAM; safari's resource usage has never really been a problem and likely isn't a problem until you get into like 12" macbook territory. the content blocker api blockers are nominally supposed to come with a speed improvement just by virtue of how they do the blocking, but i've never noticed that in practice and the ones i've tried (wipr et al) seem slower than just using ublock origin. i think this is because there's a limit on how much stuff they actually block, whereas ublock will gladly chomp through as many lists as you can throw at it. and being as i have a tower computer connected to the wall my system resources aren't exactly at a premium; my network connection is the limiting factor. so the more crap that's blocked the better, and the faster my browsing. obviously if i enabled every single list i might run into a bottleneck but i don't think i'm at that stage there's also the privacy implication as ublock can read all the data you send and receive from sites. in practice, ublock is open source and recommended as a basic security measure for political campaign staffers so i'm not super worried e: anyone with a 2012 mac pro and rx 580 notice a weird regression in sleep behaviour with mojave? like the computer will go to sleep and wake up just fine, but the monitor sometimes won't actually display an image for like 30s to a minute. it'll pretty much always eventually work but it's disconcerting as gently caress Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Oct 18, 2018 |
