    I can't sign in with my Apple ID after transferring a copy of my data using Time Machine Imac.

    Problem: After transferring Ventura 13.6.7 system and files from MacBook 16 2019 to iMac 2017, I can't log into my Apple ID like any other, always like in the video.

    Solved the mystery of APFS formatted SanDisk USB flash drive not ejecting cleanly

    I recently purchased an M3 Pro 14" MBP 18GB/1TB and along with it, picked up a SanDisk Ultra Go USB Type-C (with a swivel and USB-A on the other side). I formatted the SanDisk APFS with Disk Utility and started shuttling files around. Straight away, whenever I ejected the flash drive Sonoma 14.5...

    Safari tab closing problem

    Whenever I use Command W on my Mac mini M1 to close a tab on Safari, this shows up. It also does this when I use the shortcut on my MX Master 3 mouse thumb button to close a tab. However, if I click the scroll wheel on a tab it is not a problem; it only closes 1 tab. Any suggestions?

    Update path for a rMBP running Sierra

    I have a 2014 rMBP that is still running Sierra (not even High Sierra). I put off updating it due to Software compatibility complications and eventually just started doing most of my work on my desktop, since the MacBook became slow anyways. Now I need it for a job and I need to get it to the...

    Are you using Safari's compact tabs mode?

    Are you using Safari's compact tabs mode? What are you thoughts on it? I noticed that the top bar's color changing to match the website works only in the compact mode and I kinda like it.

    Bizarre GPS behavior triggering HomeKit automations, timezone changes across devices

    Since yesterday, I've observed some really odd GPS-related behaviors on my iPhone running iOS 17.5, my wife's iPhone running 17.4.1, and my MacBook running macOS 14.4.1, all in the same location (our apartment) in New York City. It started with our HomeKit lighting turning on and off, seemingly...

    Post-install weirdness with 14.5

    Just got done with the update to macOS Sonoma 14.5. I have FileVault enabled. After the initial post-boot authentication the screen went black again, showed the Apple logo and a progress bar at the bottom. The progress bar was disconcertingly long stuck at about 5%, I would say 3 min. That’s...

    I do not want macOS on iPad. Ever.

    Wait. Before you start commenting that I'm stupid. Just read on... I agree that iPadOS (in its current form) is a massive limiting factor for the iPad. But I don't think that 'just release macOS on iPad' will be the answer. MacOS is entirely designed for trackpad and keyboard use. Icons...
