The concept of searching in Outlook is so loving bad. In the PC version, if you start searching, it will search all folders (and maybe even all mailboxes, it's been a while and I forget). In Outlook for Mac, you have to just go one folder at a time, and there's no easy way to non-GUI search for attachments. Gmail: "has:attachment" Outlook for Mac: "<search string>", click Advanced, click dropdown, choose Attachments, click second dropdown, choose Exists, hit enter Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

smr posted:Anybody else having just super garbage times with Messages lately? I'm currently on the phone with Apple Support for the third hour trying to get my Messages to sync INTO my Mac from other devices. Outbound from Mac works. Inbound, I can go gently caress myself. What I've found that works for me is to sign out of iCloud on my mac and all iDevices. Leave it signed out for about an hour (this is the key part). Sign in on everything again. That seems to fix the sync issues.

Binary Badger posted:I think it's still kind of dumb that the only way to transfer a 'Live Picture' from an iPhone to a Mac is either by direct USB connection or using iCloud photos. If you try and send it over Bluetooth, only the still JPEG comes over, not the mp4 part. I haven't tried it, but does AirDrop work? I AirDrop all my normal photos to my MacBook that way and it sends them in HEIC.

Ok I have what is probably a pretty stupid question, but for someone who has been using macOS for years, I've never actually had to go through this process *ever* yet, which I think is a testament to how reliable the OS and hardware is. Anyways, I have been using this MacBook for ages and just finally got a new one. When I setup the new one, when I go to login with my iCloud, is it going to try and transfer my profile from the old laptop, including any broken poo poo that has built up over the years? Or does it mostly start fresh? I've rebuilt countless Windows PCs in my time (it was my job for nearly 20 years, so I apologize if these are dumb questions but I need to break my brain out of this mould) but I have setup exactly one macOS profile in my entire life and never on a second machine.

I realize this is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyways: in iTunes, does anyone else ever have the issue where you open the app, immediately go to search for something in the search bar, and after hitting return, it either does nothing or shows you the results from the *last* search you did? Like I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I've had this same Mac profile transferred through 4 or 5 different machines over the years and there's probably just something fundamentally broken about it, but if there's something I can do to un-gently caress iTunes, that would be wonderful. Example: https://imgur.com/a/HqHLOQJ And just since I posted this, I tried clearing out ~/Library/[Preferences|Caches]/com.apple.iTunes* and ~/Library/[Preferences|Caches]Caches/com.apple.music* No difference. nexxai fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 6, 2020 |

Gros Tarla posted:Yeah so looks like blackholing oscp.apple.com in etc hosts fixes the issue if you're having slowdowns. They can probably correlate which certificate was used to sign which application, but the closest they'd be able to identify you by is your public IP address; there's no authentication involved in OCSP.

You guys are making me feel weird - usually by now, someone would have found a bug that formats their hard drive when they open Numbers with the mouse on the left side of their keyboard or something. I can't believe I'm asking this, but should I actually upgrade to an initial build of a macOS release?

I've had various iMessages sync problems in the past and the only solution I found (and it actually seemed to work) was to completely sign out of iCloud on my phone, iCloud on my Mac, and make sure Messages on the Mac is also signed out (it can be signed in separately, even if your Mac isn't). You leave them all signed out for a couple of hours (seriously, if you can manage it, do it over night; 15 minutes or whatever has never been enough time) which seems to let the backend systems clear out whatever the gently caress is wrong, and then sign back in on all of the devices. It was suggested to me by Apple Support and each time it's happened (2-3 I think), it's worked.

In the last couple/few weeks, I've noticed that when I open my MacBook Pro (running Big Sur) that the screen doesn't automatically come on like it used to. Is this is a setting that I may have inadvertently disabled? It used to be that I'd open the clamshell and the screen would immediately come on and prompt me for my password, now I have to press the power button to get things going (it hasn't powered all the way off; when I press the power button, it just wakes from sleep and prompts for my password immediately). The only other thing I can think of is that somehow the sensor that detects when the lid is open is broken, but my laptop basically doesn't move except from my office to my living room and back and I am extremely careful with it, so I'm kind of at a loss.

commie kong posted:I think people have posted about this issue before and the fix was to sign out on ALL devices and stay signed out for multiple hours. Less than one hour wasn’t enough. I had similar issues and left ALL of my devices (iPhone, MacBook, and an iPad at the time) logged out overnight and then re-signed in on all devices in the morning. I'm assuming there's some weird caching thing that's happening behind the scenes which needs a lot of time to invalidate itself.

I remember years ago (like 10-15+), there was a tool that I'm forgetting the name of that let you use one keyboard/mouse across multiple machines, kind of like Sidecar but for multiple computers. Does anything like that exist for MacOS? I have two MacBooks on my desk and it would be super awesome if I could just use one set of peripherals and not need something like VNC or whatever.

Got a bit of a weird one that just started happening in the last 12-18 hours or so. All of a sudden, I'm not getting notifications popping up. They are being delivered because if I open Notification Center they're there, but I'm not actually getting the little popup telling me about them. I haven't made any changes (that I know of), and I've tried killing the Notification Center process and even restarting. I'm not in a Focus mode and I've tried turning those on and off just to make sure it wasn't half-stuck in one of those states. I'm not really sure what else to do. Anyone have any ideas? OS: Monterey 12.0.1 EDIT: I got fed up missing important emails and chatted in to Apple Support. She had me create a secondary profile and Fast User Switch into it to see if notifications were working at all on this machine. They were, and then when I flipped back to my normal profile, they started working there too. No idea what caused the problem, but pretty easy solution if a bit unconventional. nexxai fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Nov 23, 2021 |
