So I'm trying to set up an AppleScript to open a single Finder window with specific view properties and it's working fine, except I can't hide the sidebar. The only instructions I've found online mention using "set sidebar width to 0" but this returns an error in Mavericks. I'm new to...

A recent update of BBC IPlayer (2.5.5, not the fairly recent big update) is refusing to run on my 2009 mac mini on 10.9.5 Mavericks.
If the error message is any help, the first and possibly main thing it's complaining about is the lack of...
I'm trying to get my mom's computer to automatically back up photos to an external drive whenever there is an update.
iCloud is full and she doesn't want to purchase more space, apparently.
Problem is the computer was upgraded after a hard drive replacement a long time ago, and extra apps that...

Mavericks usually understand the number pad on my standard keyboard and I don't have problems with browsers or most other programs. But on some Apple programs the number pad seems to confuse Mavericks. For example, the Calculator won't work properly - when I try to use it with the number pad...

Once I've purchased a new internal hard drive for my Mac Pro 4,1 to use to create a clone backup of the boot drive, and I'm satisfied that the cloning process has been successful, I want to upgrade my OS from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.5.
[I'm very aware how out of date / deprecated...

to use to clone my boot drive to as a backup. (I'm aware that they can be had for far less money via places other than from WD themselves).
As it's a much more modern drive...
I have recently upgraded from Mavericks to Sierra. Before the upgrade I turned off TimeMachine.
Can I just turn it back on now or should I start over by erasing the drive and letting TimeMachine start fresh?
I finally replaced my old MacBook Pro Late 2008 with a 5K iMac 2017. I had added additional RAM and replaced the HDD with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 840 SSD. But, actually, I was not using the old MBP very often in the last two years.
I decided to start the new iMac with its clean pre-installed MacOS...
I am running Mavericks 10.95 and quite often the sound preference disables the speakers in my Mac 2008 24 inch LED Monitor. Opening the sound preference pane I can see the display audio drop down menu change with out me initiating any change. I have noticed this occur timing wise when I view...

2. Clicking documents makes any open Finder windows disappear...
Hey all,
I've been to the Genius Bar twice about this along with posting on the Apple discussion forums and haven't had any luck so far. Hopefully someone here might know something I can try.

Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive in my Macbook Pro from 500GB to 1TB. I have the 1TB in a Firewire enclosure and I want to clone everything over before installing it (so that I know that it works before I start messing with stuff). I got a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and went to...
Why Apple? Are you kidding me? :mad: It still worked in 10.12.5. :(
I hope this is just a bug. The left button with further informations does nothing else as the OK button.
If this is on purpose, this Mac is going back tomorrow... What I wanted to do anyway because of the WWDC rumors, but now...
Few days ago I successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a late 2007 MacBook.
Thought it would solve my issues with my phone no longer syncing in iTunes.
Turns out iOS 10 requires iTunes 12.5 and up, which is supported only on Yosemite and later OS's, so I'm going up to that.
Now I'm...
MODS, IF I DID GET THE LOCATION FOR THE THREAD WRONG, PLEASE PUT IT IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Hey, everyone.
I am making this thread to see who wants to go back to OS X Mavericks in 2017.
My reason for this is how it looks. While I was for the new design back for iOS 7, I just never grew on to the...
My 2014 MacBook Pro and my 2010 Mac Pro are both still running OSX 10.9.5, mostly because of some specific software compatibility issues and because I use these machines for work and am always hesitant to upgrade.
