    Preview STILL Does Not Show 100%-Scale Images Correctly??

    Apple has had Retina display Macs since... 2013??... and they STILL haven't fixed the Preview app's failure to show 100%-scaled images as 1 pixel per one pixel. It shows them blown up somewhat. Yes, I have checked the setting in Preview's preferences, and NO, it has no effect. It defeats the...

    AFP Server not allowing access after Catalina upgrade

    I am posting this because I could not find this answer anywhere. Did you upgrade to Catalina Server and have issues getting AFP to work? Does it connect and then prompt that you have no access to the files? Well, search no further for your solution. Open System Preferences. Click Security &...

    Is there some way to disable popup notifications to update my iPhone to iOS 13.5.1 whenever I plug it in?

    I just updated my Mac to Catalina and my iPhone to iOS 13.5, but now every time I plug my iPhone into my Mac I get a popup notification telling me to update it again to 13.5.1 which I don't want to do because I'm jailbroken. I noticed there was a Terminal command 'sudo softwareupdate --ignore...

    In Apple's Music.app, how can I search among comment ID3 tags?

    I use the comment ID3 tag to apply sub-genres to my songs (e.g. a song by Metallica will have 'Rock' in the genre tag, and also 'Metal' in the comment tag). Prior to Catalina, in iTunes, I used to be able to use the search functionality to search my library using comment tags. Now, in Music.app...

    Late 2012 iMac - Catalina / S.M.A.R.T.

    I'm running a 27" Late 2012 iMac with 32gb of RAM and initially configured with the 3tb Fusion Drive. It was subject to the recall program, so the fusion drive was swapped out by Apple once. Eventually, that drive also failed -- so I replaced it myself with one of the OWC DIY drive-replacement...

    Finder in Catalina: changed "Open in New Tab" behaviour

    Hi everyone, It seems that the Finder "Open in New Tab" behaviour has changed in 10.15. Whereas in 10.13, "Open in New Tab" would open a tab with the selected folder at the beginning, now it simply opens a new tab, with the same path as before 10.13: path in first tab...
