    MacBook automatically reinstalling macOS after normal Restart - HELP!

    Facing quite possibly the most peculiar issue I’ve ever had with an Apple product. I have an old Early 2015 13” MBP that has admittedly seen better days. I’m going to be upgrading in June so i’m just hoping to make this one cross the finish line then. Occasionally when this old laptop gets...

    Scored a boxed copy of Mac OS 10.0

    Noticed there isn’t a forum for this ancient version macOS. I like collecting vintage software; it’s a hobby I’ve been practicing for some time now. Software has pretty much become a fully digital process with online app stores. But there was a time where there was a tangible experience for...

    OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) + Pixelmator Pro issue

    Config: Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 with OCLP (0.5.3 currently). In the past Pixelmator Pro correctly used my RX 580 for all "ML" features. This meant that ML Upscaling and the like worked extremely quickly. Now Pixelmator Pro is using the CPUs for ML functions, making those features almost unusable...

    Is there a way to stop FaceTime from taking over during incoming calls?

    I like the feature of taking calls on my Mac. But what is driving me crazy is that FaceTime seems to immediately become the foreground app, stopping all inputs to other apps. For example: If I'm typing while a call is coming in my keystrokes result in warning sounds. Of course, when I'm just...

    When drag away iCal notifications, they reappear over and over again. It is very annoying. It's been like this since Big Sur. Now I'm using Monterey. I found an article that said it might be due to some home folder ACL rights. So I started up in Recovery Mode and ran 'repairHomePermissions'...
