So I've got a problem with getting photos from my Macbook to sync with iCloud so that they're available on my iPhone and iPad. Any hints on how to get the photos synced to iCloud?

Sorry about the missing details 😔 Syncing is turned on on all devices, the photo library I imported from Google Photos into the Photos app on my Macbook is fine - everything is as it should be there. But these photos are not synced into iCloud and so on my IPhone, I can only see the photos from an old backup - as in 150 photos out of the 2800 on my Macbook.

This thread appears to be dead but did Safari's latest updates break tabs for anyone else? Pull a tab out of a Safari window, it looks fine but the tab remains in the original window, grayed out. If you close the tab, it goes away AND it blanks out the tab you pulled into it's own window.

I do seem to now have an issue where trying to drag a tab out into a new window just deletes the tab; that’s fun!

I don’t have that one but dragging a tab from one window to the other just deletes it for me. I lost a somewhat time consuming form like that the other day

There's also this weird bug when I try to re-drag the old new tab into the old window, the tab floats by itself as an object that cannot be activated, moved, or closed. It stays on top of all other windows and the URL bar of the 'new' tab on the old window cannot be activated or written in. I had to quit Safari to get rid of this.

In the Finder sidebar I've got a Locations section and it has my OneDrives and stuff and then a couple of NASes I have in my house for now. I have a linux server that has some samba shares that I'd also like to be in that list, but it only shows up if I click on Network and then mount one of the shares. What dictates when a computer shows up in that list?

I think Bonjour is the only way to get something that you haven’t connected to yet to show in that section. Enable Bonjour on your Linux box, and it should show.

I'm on a MacBook 14" using Monterey 12.5.1. I set my external Dell monitor to 60Hz refresh rate. The monitor goes to sleep. It wakes up again, the monitor has reset itself to variable 40-60Hz refresh rate. This is not nice so I need to manually change it back to 60Hz. Is there a way to fix this so it stops happening? Feels like a definite bug, just wondering if there's eg some terminal command I can run that'll force this or at least that I can then make into an Alfred workflow so it changes back faster.

Some more research suggests that neither Monterey nor Ventura up to current development versions support variable refresh rates properly so this happens. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/variable-refresh-rate-freesync-gsync-flicker.2320463/page-6 has a fix which I can then either run with an Alfred keyword or use Keyboard Maestro to run it on wake until Apple get round to fixing the bug themselves.

So I have a fairly large Google drive sync I need to do. So much so that my MBP running 12.6 will sleep before the sync is complete. There isn’t a system setting to disable sleep anymore even on wall power. Now I know there are 3rd party tools to disable sleep but I feel like this is such a common scenario there’s got to be a user friendly way to accomplish without resorting to 3rd party tools. No?

My M1P MBP keeps doing this No idea if I needed to censor that... but it pops up a dozen boxes like this, one after the other, with random hex strings in them. It was happening when I switched user accounts, now it's started happening for no apparent reason. A reboot makes it stop for a week+ Any ideas?

It may or will delete all saved passwords, including passwords saved by apps, mail, in safari (maybe), wifi passwords, etc etc etc. This may be less painful if you have icloud keychain on, but who knows. First, follow the steps here, starting with section II. https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-change-keychain-password-on-mac/ If that doesn't work, you can do the following, which will 100% delete all passwords as advised above.

Without mobile accounts macOS will try and run the user account’s folder structure directly off their network home folder location (which it gets from the AD user object) and if it can’t talk to the file server that sits on it just won’t login at all. Mobile Accounts cache everything and use a local profile so they work just fine while away from the primary network.

Has anyone here been down the tech rabbit hole with the AdGuard extension for Safari? I was using it off and on for several years, and it has never consistently worked right for me. While it generally blocks ads well, included embedded YouTube ones, often it didn't run at Safari startup; found it paused or disabled until I clicked the icon; frequently it wouldn't update its filters even when doing it manually – all kinds of weird behavior. Fixes I Googled would work temporarily for awhile, the stop again. After the release of SpyBuster in May by MacPaw, a Ukrainian-based company in Kyiv, I ran it in May but still didn't connect the dots. Many Mac news sites reported on it then, like here at AppleInsider. AdGuard is one of the four apps it found on my system that use Russia-based servers. After removing it and looking into macOS Monterey's Notifications & Focus settings in System Preferences, I found listings for things like pushfakechris.io, push.io, and 4 or 5 other push entries. They aren't apps, so the only easy way to delete them is through Safari's Preferences, in the Websites tab in the Notifications section. All were set to Deny, but I never allowed them in the first place. I had checked the box for allowing websites to ask for permission to install them. Those .io entries are all from TikTok, and I've never installed that app on my smartphone. If you go to push.io, it takes you to Oracle's website for their cross-channel push marketing products, meaning they'll show ads on all social media apps, web browsers, and anything else they sell. That's all stuff AdGuard is supposed to block. This last news item is what connected the dots for me, if you've followed the TikTok vs. U.S. Government saga at all: TikTok May Be More Dangerous Than It Looks and Lawmakers press TikTok about China and user data in Senate hearing. With the frequent updates to WebKit and Safari for security patches and Chrome (and all Chromium-based browsers like Brave, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Chromium itself), I went  and then  TL;DR: What's the best free or cheap non-AdGuard Safari extension for blocking the ads at YouTube and elsewhere that make web browsing an epileptic's nightmare? Preferably one that doesn't sell workarounds to its ad blocking like AdBlock does. Anton Chigurh fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Sep 28, 2022 |

Anton Chigurh posted:Has anyone here been down the tech rabbit hole with the AdGuard extension for Safari? I can't understand what you mean by "connect the dots". Are you saying that you believe Adguard is a Russian company and is stealing your info? Because no, they were founded in Russia because their developers are Russian but they've been in Cyprus for more than 6 years. They've released a statement about this when Setapp accused them of sometime similar: https://adguard.com/en/blog/official-response-to-setapp.html Also I don't understand what you're saying about TikTok and push notifications? Those domains are just 3rd party push notification providers, they aren't "owned" by TikTok but are likely used by TikTok and thousands of other sites like local news and those other placed that do those annoying push notification popups. There's no "dots" to connect on this one.
