    Need an app that will tell me exactly what files are installed?

    I need an app that will tell me what files are installed for my printer. If I run an overall cleaner app, these printer driver files get trashed. In order to disable the trashing of these SPECIFIC files, I need to know what they are when they get installed. There used to be an app when I ran...

    Hi, I have a new Thunderbolt 3 OWC SSD external drive that connects to my 2020 Mini's T3 port and even since before I formatted the external (to APFS), I kept getting "Disk Not Ejected Properly"messages as the OWC kept unmounting on its own, even during a clone.

    Selecting multiple files in Catalina breaks the finder

    I have no idea how to reach out to Apple, but their new Catalina OS is making my work very painful... I want to know if others are having this problem too. Same behaviour on my girlfriend's MacBook Air with Catalina, but my 6 years old iMac with Sierra doesn't have this problem. Mac: MacBook...

Both the computers have Catalina installed...

    HELP! I'm stuck after failed attempt at clean install of MacOS Catalina

    Over the years I've installed so much crapware on my computer that it just felt sluggish and contaminated to me, and I finally got up the nerve to do a clean install to start over again more 'minimalistically'. I've done clean installs many times in the past, but never on MacOS Catalina. After...

    MP 7,1 How many TB3 busses should you have vs do you actually have?

    On the phone an Apple technician told me to bring my 7,1 Mac Pro into the shop for repair after finding out that under About - System report - Thunderbolt there were two busses listed - one with number 2 and number 3. But no number 1. Somehow I suspect that this could have something to do with...

    Slowness in 10.5 in general, 2015 rMBP?

    I've been somewhat frustrated with the performance of my rMBP (early 2015, 13-inch) with Catalina. Safari feels sluggish (it kind of "jerks" and "stutters" on many major websites). Finder isn't bad, but there's this sense of slowness that wasn't there before. My rMBP has an i7 processor, 16GB...

    I am fairly new to the cMP scene and have been considering upgrading my mostly stock machine. I'd love to be able to set up Catalina with all the bells and whistles via OpenCore as shown here, but am not experienced enough with OpenCore and cMPs in general to figure it out myself. Thanks, CL
