    Resolved What does this icon (command symbol within a window) in the menu bar mean?

    In MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.7), I see an icon on the righthand side of the menu bar. Clicking on it showed the pinwheel for a long time. Eventually it went away, but the system was sluggish. And I had to Force Quit the system to restart. The icon I am talking...

    Thinking about downgrading to original Big Sur OS because new update is causing problems....

    I have had some random problems with Big Sur since 11.3 (ex. photo screensaver doesn't work anymore, much slower & the 'beach ball' is showing up all the time, etc.) I assume anything that I have added to my Mac since then will be gone? I have a Time Machine backup but wasn't sure if I could...

    Boot Camp Unable to Create Windows 10 Bootable USB on Big Sur?

    My MacBook Pro was upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur a few days ago. And I found it is impossible to create a Windows 10 bootable USB on Big Sur with Boot Camp. When I plugged into an USB drive, Boot Camp asks me to eject the USB to proceed. This is the screenshot: I did that and plug the...

    iPad Pro iPadOS and MacOS unification

    Way out there speculation for tomorrow’s iPad Pro release - Apple decides to release the iPad with MacOS. With all the work they’ve done with Big Sur harmonising the two operating systems, as well as both systems now running on the same hardware, its not much of a leap for this to happen...

    macOS Big Sur is erasing keywords as soon as I type them....

    I recently upgraded to Big Sur from Mojave on my late 2014 iMac and whenever I try to type in a keyword to add it makes it disappear as soon as I type it. Is anyone else having this problem? When I try to type in a caption for the photo that works most of the time, but keywords don't.

    Siri not able to create reminders (occasionally), says there's no app for that

    Sometime in the last few months, upon asking siri to create a reminder (for example "Hey siri, remind me on Monday to call my sister.") occasionally she'll tell me she can't create the reminder because there's not an app installed to do that. I forget the exact language she uses. Then she...

    Quick Look visual glitch (when "reduce transparency" is enabled) on M1

    For the past two years I used hackintosh with Mojave but since Apple decided to go in the direction of Apple Silicon/ARM it was time to move on, too. So, now I'm fully migrated to a brand new Mac Mini M1 (512/16) and I'm really happy with the overall performance (even surprised!) but I noticed...

    Loupedeck-like controls for Ipad?

    It may sound stupid question but I was wondering if there are any apps that can turn an Ipad (sidekick enabled or not) to a control console, in similar way you can use a loupedeck for controlling MacOS and a number of apps. I'm using the unified remote sporadically, that is useful but not very...
