Hello there! Hoping to get an answer about a couple questions I have with CCC. I plan to migrate to it to use as my backup solution. I have long just made a literal drag-and-drop copy of my most important external drives to a hard drive every quarter or so as "backup," but I've decided that I...

Is there any way I can setup the mail app or the Big Sur OS itself, so that the attachments, be that photo, or a pdf containing a photo remains as a thumbnail? I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. This is how it looks now.

Had a couple of panics in the last few days on my M1 Mac Mini after a couple of months before that of smooth sailing, trying to figure out the problem. Here's the panic string from the most recent occurence: "panicString" : "panic(cpu 0 caller 0xfffffe003196fe28): DCP DATA ABORT...

Is there an MDM solution that works well for families? I have 20 Apple devices in my home (and growing), supporting a family of five. Keeping all those devices updated and managed is a constant, often stressful undertaking. If it helps, I’m a registered Apple dev and am enrolled in Apple...

Hi all, Yesterday I downloaded flash player (which I now know is a stupid thing to do) and ever since I get these weird pop ups on my Home Screen, saying 'Downloading new updates' and 'download failed' which don't seem to be valid, see the photos. Does anybody know what this is? And more...

I bumped an old thread related to this issue earlier today, but figured it prudent to make another to bring more attention to this problem while everyone is still within their holiday return periods. As you may or may not be aware, there's currently an issue that appears to affect all M1 Macs...

It's been 6 days and already I've got a warning "storage almost full". My 3TB HDD sounds like a jet engine when powered on, and hangs up Finder when waking up from sleep, it's very annoying. I need a large storage device for casual use that is QUIET and will be connected to the back of the...

Hey all! Loving my M1 mini so far, it's been a rock solid machine. Just having one interesting "issue" if you could even call it that, night after night. I have my mini in a desk setup in my bedroom plugged into a backlit mechanical keyboard and mouse. Sometimes when I go up to the Apple menu...

Hi guys, I have installed Windows on my MacBook (Mid 2014 Pro) before, and had no problems. I decided to completely wipe my Windows install since I wanted a fresh copy installing, but now when I try to re-install with Boot Camp Asssistant, it reboots, shows the Windows logo, goes black, and...

I've tried switching off 'optimize mac storage', which from what I understood, would mean photos are stored locally and on iCloud - however photos appear to download from iCloud everytime I want to access them, making it really slow. I like having the automatic syncing/backing up to iCloud, but...

Made the jump to an M1 Mini from an aging windows PC for my daily driver, and this caught my eye when I plugged in my external SSD that I use to store my music collection. On my PC, it says I have 170 GB free of 465 GB total storage - 48,434 total files. 290 GB total usage on disk. On my new...

Hello - I've been a Mac user for a few years now, and I switched to an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard back in April. Alas, M1 Mac's arrived, so I've got rid of the iPad and I'm Mac on Big Sur with an M1 MBA. For those of you who used the Magic Keyboard with iPad OS; the directional button...

I have an M1 Mac Mini and a SuperDrive. I want to save the videos from the DVD to my Mac. Do I need special software? I am using disk utility to make a disk image but I'm not sure if that works. I want to make a copy of the videos for later playback and keep them on my internal mac storage as...

So basically just joined MR to vent this out here and ask why would Apple Australia be be giving absurd offers even for the recent Macs now that the new M1's have been released. I compared the Apple Canada / US sites and they still offer pretty decent rates. However, I checked my MacBook Pro 16...

I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about a higher-end M-series chip used in the iMac, 16” MBP, etc. The problem is that most people are calling this the M2 chip, which I think is incredibly unlikely. The M1, despite its incredible performance, is Apple’s entry level, power-efficient chip. They’ll...
