    Calendars notifications not working after Ventura update

    I just finally updated from Monterrey to Ventura and my Calendar notifications are not showing up anymore, especially if the alerts where set for a time when the Mac was turned off. E.g.: I turn my computer on at 10am and all the all-day events with alerts for 9am never trigger. Alerts that...

    Weird ScreenTime notifications and random listing in App Limits

    I was getting weird ScreenTime notifications. Then I found "montgomerycountymd.gov" in my App Limits settings. Problem is I NEVER even visited this site on any of my devices let alone adding it to App Limits. Is this just a bug or should I be worried about device security? I ran a Malwarebytes...

    Login In Screen Frozen

    I found this weird bug earlier in Ventura today. I booted up my MacBook Pro, and once I clicked enter the screen froze and displayed like 10 ten bars at the bottom of the display. The MacBook was not responding at all. It stayed like that for over 10 minutes, so I finally had enough and luckily...

    What's your preferred macOS browser, and why?

    Hey all, I'm curious what your preferred macOS browser is. Google/gmail is always suggesting I convert to Chrome from Safari and I contemplate it; but I really love the integration with keychain in Safari. If you've made the switch from Safari and have never looked back, what drew you to the...

    Display Arrangement Changes Automatically

    I have a MacBook Pro that I use on the go as well as my "desktop" machine connected to 2x 27" monitors via a thunderbolt dock. I can't seem to figure out why when I disconnect my MacBook and go to work and then come back and plug it back into the dock the display arrangement changes. The left...

    Unrealistic — but fun — idea...

    There're many comments, in various threads, wishing Apple would slow down, or even stop, adding software features, and focus on tightening-up their software. Many often cite Snow Leopard as being the heyday for Apple's "it just works" age, and I'm sure there's a similar reference for iOS. As...

    "Create PDF" as individual files versus a combined file

    Hey everyone, I've posted this question on Reddit, but didn't get any response. I've found the "Create PDF" from the Quick Actions menu in the finder to be incredibly useful. However, it seems like the only option it offers is a combined PDF. So if I say, selected multiple images, it would...

    iOS and IpadOS aren't good, it's third party apps and devs that make them so much better than android

    I don't know how you guys feel about Ios and its bigger brother ipadOS which is basically a bigger ios with a few tweaks for the price of these devices, which is extremely high, especially in EU where an iphone 14pm/ ipad pro 12.9 128gb would cost literally 1500 euros, I find the OS rather...

    Has Apple rewritten macOS aka OS X since its existence?

    Just a curious thought that popped into my head. I probably should have reached out to Steven Troughton-Smith but thought I would ask here. Does anyone know if Apple has rewritten the macOS code base since OS X was introduced in March of 2001? I know they have deprecated technologies and...

    The whole "Apple Experience" is getting really sour on me. I have defended Macs and Apple to all the Apple haters for years, but I'm done. There's the pathetic display management assigning monitor roles at random, but at least that one you can correct, even if you do so hundreds of times. But...

    Here's proof that Apple makes your life miserable with poor display management and doesn't do anything about it.

    There’s no denying the impact that Apple has had in computer technology for the past 40 years. And macOS is in most aspects, the best operating system available today, and it keeps getting better. At the same time, Macs are at a point in time where they are incredibly fast thanks to the M1 and...
