    "Never sleep"... but it sleeps?

    Hey all, I've re-purposed my 2011 MBP17 to run iTunes, amongst other things, for our AppleTVs in the house. Every so often videos won't load, or the iTunes library just disappears completely on the AppleTV, and the "solution" is to hit a key on the keyboard to wake it up, which solves the...

    Getting "The specified network name is no longer available" on share

    I have a SMB connection to my NAS. In MacOS Mojave, but also in older MacOS/OS-X versions, I often get the message "The specified network name is no longer available".

    Looking to add more RAM to my late 2014 8gb iMac...which configuration would be better?

    This might be a really dumb question but will it make a big difference if I add 16gb (8gb x 2) to the empty two slots on my iMac or would it be just as fast adding 8gb (4gb x 2)? I hear different things about RAM and I have heard in some situations if you have different size RAM there is not a...

    Cannot change admin PW

    A client dropped off a Macbook Air that needed a keyboard replacement. Her child sprayed Lysol all over it and fried it. She originally took it to the apple store. They took it apart and forgot to plug the battery back in, and then quoted her for like $400 to fix it, plus shipping. Ridiculous. I...

    Developer here. I just shipped this app that makes email links open into your Gmail, Yahoo, etc. instead of Apple Mail. I made this because the old "mailto" extension for Safari stopped working with Safari 12 / Mojave. (Apple blocked legacy extensions.). Works system-wide for Safari, Chrome...
