    Being asked for a password by Network settings only on one Mac

    I'm using `Ventura 13.4.1 (c)`, on a number of Macs. All MacBook Pro laptops, I change my network settings regularly for work (DNS, etc). For some reason on one of the Macs I get this popup each time I even open network settings, without making a change, just by pressing "OK". I'm the owner...

    How's your battery life on PB Sonoma?

    Sonoma Public Beta is running smoothly and issue free for me, but I feel like maaaaybe the battery life took a hit on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16". I could be wrong, it could be just that I'm paying more attention to it. So, how is your battery life?

    Downgrade to previous MacOS saving data

    I foolishly believed Apple that Ventura is nice, so I upgraded not making time machine backup prior to that. Little did I know... Can't believe now how bad it is compared to Monterey! Now I simply want to get back to Monterey. I know how to do that, but I've got many custom settings and tweaks...

    Do you use Dark, Light or Auto mode ?

    I read somewhere that dark mode was by large the choice of smartphone users (over 80%!). I find this figure suspiciously very high. And it has me wonder how many people actually use dark mode on macOS. I wonder because each time Apple promote macOS or macOS Preview, they have nice light mode...

    Password Support across apps like chrome

    Any chance macOS 14 allows using the apple password manager on apps like chrome or other web browsers? I know they have a plug-in for PCs but not for Macs.

    Ideas for a redundant Mac mini

    Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

    “The sampled color is not equal to the first color, this isn't an Apple logo boot image.”

    What does it mean when the installer said, “The sampled color is not equal to the first color, this isn't an Apple logo boot image” during install?

    "Messages" attachments deleted from Finder but still appearing in Storage Settings Report

I've been running into constant storage issues with my work computer (2020 M1 MBP, Ventura). I'm unfortunately...

    Enhanced Hybrid and Remote Pro Workflows

    Hi all Apple has mentioned that there are improvements to hybrid and remote workflows: I have been dreaming of an own Cloud Development setup, where I can have a stationary Mac Studio in the office and a MacBook Air on the go that connects to the Studio remotely. I haven’t found anything in...

    Which version of macOS do you use mostly often recently?

    I googled this question, but oddly, there is no information for OSes after macOS Catalina 10.15. So I created a poll here.

    MacOS Sonoma tribute to Windows XP?

    Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful? Maybe Apple is making a tribute to Windows XP? Or possibly their “Get a Mac” ad campaign, which started when XP was still the...

    How to remove downloaded aerial wallpapers?

    The recently introduced aerial dynamic wallpapers with macOS Sonoma are cool but the problem is that they take HUGE amount of disk space (almost 10GB). How can I remove them? I've tried: - Right click, ctrl click, tap and hold on the thumbnail in sys settings - Searching the library folder for...

    Apple is using games as advertisements and missing the point

    Edit/tldr: Apple are showing off years old AAA games to show how powerful their chips are. But gaming is far bigger and varied than AAA games. They need to help cultivate development- AAA and indie. I don’t feel like they are doing that. Hey guys. I want to preface this by saying that I love...

    Lockdown Mode and privacy issues

    I understand that Lockdown Mode (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) is to increase security. But I read somewhere (IT tech website) that if Lockdown Mode enabled, there would be have some negative impact on your device's privacy. Apple explain some trade-off on Lockdown Mode, but as far as I know they...

    The software on my iPhone is extremely slow!

    I converted a macOS programme for the iPhone. WOW!!! Is that slow? At first, I wondered if I was making a lot of disc accesses. However, as I began to examine, I realised I was just reading an offset from a binary file. Only roughly 512 bytes of data were read in. I also have a sizable array...
