I'm using 10.15.3 (19D76) on a 16" MBP, earlier today Safari stopped responding and after force quitting won't open back up. I'm guessing it's something to do with the Adblocker extension. I installed a new version of the OS and it's still happening but once I created a second user I was able to...

So I got a Mac mini 2018 and a mini 2012, both of them have this issue, every time I shut them down and turn them on, the apps which should be in "other" folder just come out of the folder, and ordered randomly. Both Macs are running the newest Mac OS, I don't know what the problem is. Is...

My MacBook Air 2015 was shipped to a company for repairs and now it appears to have a MBA 2015 serial number! The Apple website does not recognise any of the serial numbers. Has my logic board been swapped without my permission? The specs still say 1.8GHz Dual Core i5, but I don't think any of...

Hey everyone, I’ve never seen quite a problem like the one I’m experiencing right now and would love to hear any thoughts on what the cause may be. We have a user who reported kernel panicking on a brand new out-of-the-box 2019 13” MacBook Pro. We gave her a brand new one and sent the other...

I have CCC create bootable clones. CCC unmounts those volumes when the clone is complete. However, if the machine reboots those volumes are mounted. I used to be able to prevent that with entries in FSTB like this: UUID=4675A27D-E063-3131-9DA3-217C18107C09 none apfs rw,noauto...

What I am trying to do is creating a bootable Windows 10 installer USB on Catalina. I did find two useful post from Google and followed the commands exactly the same in Terminal and no error popped up. But the USB is not bootable on my laptop. The first step is to erase the disk: diskutil...

Between my wife and I, we have two Macs (MacBook Pro and iMac Pro) and two iPhones. If we put a new contact into the address book on any of those machines, it does not sync to any other machine. The result is that all our address books are out of sync, and I discover in the field that I don't...

I'm using my MacBook Pro 2018 in clamshell mode with two monitors, the primary being a 4K LG 27UK850 over USB C, and the second a 1080p HP Pavilion 22xi over HDMI and USB C. This has worked without issues for months. When plugging in my MacBook today, I found that the primary and secondary...

I am using a Mac Pro 2013 6-Core 3.5GHz 64GB RAM Dual D500 machine with a fresh install of macOS Catalina 10.5.3 which was working like a charm (flawlessly) until I tried to install Windows 10 Pro (64 bits) using BootCamp, everything went fine until macOS asked to reboot the machine to continue...

I have been receiving these kernel panics multiple times a day (the computer freezes, followed by an eventual crash/restart if I don't do a hard shut down first). It occurs most frequently when waking the computer from sleep. Often I'll go to the bathroom and return to my computer, only to see...

Hi everyone! Recently (as of 2 days ago), I noticed that my iCloud calendar on my Mac is taking forever (and sometimes never) to sync to my iPhone. I've tried going into Calendar > Accounts on my Mac and then toggling "Calendar" off, quitting the app, re-opening the app, and then toggling...

Night shift was just fine before catalina. After upgrading, my night shift (which is set on custom auto day/night modes) will automatically shift to the darkest mode (which I've never selected) whenever I watch any videos (youtube, or native players) in full screen mode after a few seconds. It...

Hello. I recently did upload some photo and videos from SD card into the Photos app on the Macbook Pro. I did a mistake uploading it to the Photos app so the new photos are all over my iCloud library; on the iPad & iPhone. Is there an option to remove all recently added photos and videos from...

Greetings! So I managed to get a Catalina 10.15 vm up and running in ESXi 6.7u2. When I try to install Catalina updates, however, it goes to the Apple logo, status bar moves ever so slightly, reboots again and this time hangs on the Apple logo. To fix this, I either remove or disable "Mac OS"...

Hi all, I'm trying to make a custom screensaver using this video, however, solutions that allowed this in the past such as SaveHollywood are no longer compatible with Catalina. Apparently Apple is blocking this type of access to the screensavers. Not being able to customize the aesthetics of a...

Hi, Can somebody help me with the correct steps in order to upgrade my Mac Pro 5.1 from High Sierra to Catalina, with a new RX5700 GPU ? At this moment everything in my MP 5.1 is standard with default GPU + OSX is currently updated to high sierra. I wonder if it is actually possible to run the...

I am backing up Catalina to an Extended Format external drive. As expected, the new OS now creates three volumes: System, Data and Recovery. So far, so good. What I didn't expect was duplicate System and Recovery volumes being created each time I run a back up. So, for example, I now have...
