    Retroactive iTunes install on Ventura on an Intel Mac?

    I’m using iTunes (installed via retroactive) and am running Monterey on my iMac. It works very well and I don’t want to loose iTunes as the Music App is not good enough for managing a large collection IMO. My iMac has had some issues and I’m considering wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS...

    Windows 10 is rough, I'm kind of regretting this.

    Still running my 2017 MacBook Pro with Monterey, but sadly my 2012 Mac Mini died on me this past February. Which was my main desktop for work. But it was getting long in the tooth anyway and I need to replace it. For years I've been thinking about just building another PC. I used to build them...

    Seriously? 8GB used to be enough.. it's becoming less and less the case

    That doesn't even add up near to 8GB :D Meanwhile, Apple still sells base models just shy off a thousand with 8GB equipped. I gotta say, owning this laptop since new it's probably frozen on me less than 10 times. So overall great stability.. however messages like these worry me for the future.

    Apple is heading for a decline.

    The past 12 months really hasn’t been kind to Apple. The lawsuits, the steps back in their products and ecosystem as a result, one negative headline after another, struggling stocks. But on top of all that, Apple isn’t feeling exciting anymore. Now before you start keyboard mashing to say how...

    Simple Finder alternatives and options

    For those of us who remember “Simple Finder” in Mac OS 8, and on through ~10.15. You could set a user account to login directly to Simple Finder where the desktop experience was greatly simplified, and you were presented with a screen of apps (similar to an iPad app screen) that you had...

    Is it possible to collapse a window like in OS 9?

    In the olden days, double clicking on the top bar of the window would collapse the window in to the top bar. I think this might have been referred to as Window Shade? I'm not sure if I'm just not able to find this feature in the new (and dysfunctional) System Settings or if it's just not a...

    Studio never really "sleeps", nor did Mini... blocking internet access overnight is the way, I guess

    One thing that really winds me up about my previous Mini and current M1 Studio Base Max: both never really go to sleep. This remains true, even with Bluetooth disabled (which is part of the problem, imo). Sure, I can get the display to turn off (after multiple attempts with some regularity) but...
