    Not connected to the internet

    Right, this is a rather weird one. Am new to macOS. But, on a few occasions now, I will restart (Apple icon \ Restart) my MBP 2019. Upon doing so, when I log into the MBP (2019, 32GB / 512GB storage - Monterey with all the updates), the WIFI or LAN if am docked, is not connected to the internet...

    USB-C Dock: HDMI 2.0 and HDR?

    Hey all, apologies if this has been answered a million times. However, if I run a dock like this:OWC Travel Dock and connect my monitor to the dock, and the dock to my MBP via the USB-C port, why doesn't HDR enable anymore? The monitor has it (and works if I plug the HDMI cord into my MBP...

    MacBook Pro 2019, 32GB and Dock

    Just got access to a MacBook Pro 2019, with 32GB memory. At work, I use a CalDigit (I believe that is how it is spelt) dock. Curious, would a Dell dock work, too? I have one at home, I guess I could just bloody test it. LOL - rather nervous to connect it, in case it damaged it somehow.

    Recommended affordable docks/hubs for Macbook Pro w/M1 Max?

    I'm expecting my new macbook next week but I'm having a hard time picking out a dock. My needs are pretty simple: connect two external monitors with HDMI (or with an adapter I have, 1 HDMI & 1 Display Port) and ideally get some extra USB-A/USB-C ports, but I'm on a budget. I realize the...

    Hi, Any idea how to rearrange open apps in uBar? Maybe I am missing something, but they can't be moved left or right? Example: I want my browsers to be next to eachother, but I can't move the applications. They are in order they were launched.

    Making a Dock stack for Office?

    Over the weekend, I clean-installed a MacOS for the first time in at least 15 years. My late-2013 iMac is now running Mojave. That's great, but only the beginning. I also clean-installed Microsoft Office 365, which was also giving me problems. Mojave installed, Office installed. Great! Now...

    Is there a way to show all open Chrome windows like on Windows OS?

    I know that I can hit Control + down/up arrow to see the different open windows/apps. This is inconvenient when using a mouse. Is there a way to see ALL open Chrome windows at once like on the Start bar/menu in Windows? I like how all open windows can be quickly seen like this...

    Development History of Mac OS X

    I am researching the early development period of Mac OS X right at the beginning. There seems to have taken place a discussion amongst the developers about the Mac OS Y dock. A philosophical question whether "NeXT" engineers had it "right" with the dock. Some Macintosh purists seemed to be...

    Thunderbolt/USB C hub recommendations for the new iMacs (2021)

    The new iMacs only have USB C ports, and my purposes include some legacy USB 3 hardware and an SD card slot. Many existing hubs/docks seem to cater to MacBooks with redundant features like: VGA/DVI output… gross, don't need that; Ethernet input, which the iMac already has built into the power...
