    MacGPT sidebar and scrolling bug

    Hello everyone. I've been using the MacGPT app since its launch, so I've always had the full version I've always used it on macOS through OpenCore, because I had a MacBook Air 2011 i5. I recently bought a MacBook Air 2015, so I decided to keep the native version, macOS Monterey, installation...

    Have I formatted my Mac correctly before selling it?

    Hello, This post is because I sold my Mac mini a year ago and I'm getting paranoid that I didn't format it, but restarted macOS. But I'm sure I deleted the data before, because when the Mac installation was finished it didn't ask me for a password. (I think, I don't have a good memory) Thanks...

    Distorted sound on call while using Airpods Pro 2 with macOS Monterey 12.6

    Hey, is there anyone having issues with calls on macOS? I'm getting distorted sound on calls, but everything okay for the rest. I am thinking about Bluetooth interference as I have a Logitech keyboard, but what should I do to resolve that?

    macOS/Mac Studio display management is driving me insane. No, really.

    I have two Dell P2715Q monitors that I use frequently and a Vizio P65Q9-J01 TV set that I use on occasion, sometimes as a monitor for editing video, and lately because it's the only way I can output 5.1 audio to my receiver without having to buy an expensive audio interface. The HDMI cable from...

    Chrome and Terminal window opened after reboot

    Both the Terminal and Chrome appeared after I booted up this morning, despite neither of them being set to open at login, or as login items for my user group.

    Huge passwords bug in Safari macOS Monterey

    I posted this message on both the Apple community forum, and on Reddit, and even though it's not an attack on anyone, and it doesn't have foul language, they both censored me. Apple's moderators said that it was a rant. It's not, if I was really ranting, it would be a whole different post. I'm...

    Stuttery/choppy/low framerate animations

    So I've been a lifelong Windows user and last month made the leap to buy a 24" iMac M1 with 16GB of RAM. One thing that's been bugging me is that most of the UI animations in macOS are choppy looking/low framerate and often slow. At first I thought that maybe I'm just used to 120hz on my iPhone...
