    I fixed Apple's broken Weather Dashboard Widget

    Download: https://mavericksforever.com/app-library --- The Weather dashboard widget that ships with Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.14 broke in 2019, when the APIs it uses went offline. Luckily, the widget is all just editable Javascript code, so I rewrote a portion of the code to use the freely-accessible...

    Frozen Macbook & Bootcamp

    Good morning, just looking for some thoughts on my MacBook. So I have a late 2008 MacBook unibody, while it isn't fast, it's been fully upgraded including an SSD and works perfect for casual browsing and Netflix while at my Dr. Recently my old girl finally bit the dust (Dell D630C w/Windows10...

    Setting up a new default mail client

    Hi, Is it possible to set up Outlook for Mac as my default mail client without opening mac mail? For example, when I click on an email address online I would like to automatically open Outlook for Mac rather trying to reopen mac mail? Thanks!

    iCloud Calendars Aren't Syncing from Mac to iOS - The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAV...

    Hi everyone! Recently (as of 2 days ago), I noticed that my iCloud calendar on my Mac is taking forever (and sometimes never) to sync to my iPhone. I've tried going into Calendar > Accounts on my Mac and then toggling "Calendar" off, quitting the app, re-opening the app, and then toggling...

    Another Bootcamp Post...

    Hey all, so I don't have a need for Windows anymore and sold my main Windows machine in the summer and then my Windows laptop in the fall. I still kept an old pristine Dell Latitude D630C with Windows 10 on it, just because... sometimes, you actually might need Windows for something. Well, that...

    RAID always working since Catalina

    Ever since installing Catalina, I've noticed that my RAID is constantly working. It never stops. The data seems fine and the drives aren't reporting any issues. I'm just worried that all this non stop reading/writing is going to break something. Is there something in Catalina that would cause...

    What's the Difference Between Time Machine Backups and iOS/iTunes Backups?

    I've never used iTunes to backup an iPhone/iPad (didn't need to till now) but I've always used TM to backup my computer. With TM, I know that if my MacBook is stolen, I can just buy any other Mac computer/laptop (that supports the same macOS version) and I find myself in the exact same spot I...

    Worst x.0 versions of Mac OS X/macOS?

    I love me my polls! Which OS version was the worst, most disasterous, and truly a hot mess for you at .0 (newly released)? For me, I'd vote 10.9 (Mavericks). Putrid, awful OS throughout 10.9.5. Talk about a steaming pile of a hot mess. Glitches abound, filed many bug reports. Had to...

    macOS Catalina Terminal App can't zoom to maximum

    I use the macOS Terminal App a lot. After upgrading to Catalina, I found a strange behavior. The Terminal App can't zoom to maximum. It can't zoom to the bottom. See the pictures. The last picture shows that TextEdit app can be zoomed to the bottom, but the terminal app can't.

    Whoops, it's gone?

    I formatted a 6TB spinning drive w APFS for backing up my Catalina SSD drive. Then wrongly dropped an additional folder of files onto the 6TB drive. The folder disappeared. Anyone know how to view/recover the folder? The keystrokes Command+shift+period do not work to make the folder visible.
