    Mohave and Mountain Lion (10.14 and 10.8) together

    A few months ago, my dual-boot Mac laptop ran High Sierra and Mountain Lion. They talked to each other. Now, having recently "upgraded" to Mohave, they are having communication issues. So far, here are some curious results of switching to Mohave. Some apps create their own folders under Mohave...

    Keep getting errors when using my Calendar

    Whenever I try to use the Calendar app on MacOS Mojave, I keep getting a "the server responded with an error" and "The URL https://p50-caldav.icloud.com/1044137595/principal/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct." What might be causing this?

    MP 1,1-5,1 Magic Mouse BTLE Trouble on 10.14.6

    I have an updated BTLE/WiFi card and extended the internal antenna. But BTLE range has always been poor on this computer. No problem with keyboards and Magic Pads, but Magic Mice seem to have issues. In general, things have worked ok. But since 10.14.6 my Magic Mice connections have become...

    High Sierra

    Everything from slow speed, erratic mouse behavior, text dropping off from keyed entries to slow wifi speeds have occurred since updating to Mojave. How long will Apple be supporting High Sierra? I'm thinking of retrofitting to High Sierra. Has anyone ever gone back to an earlier OS until the...

    Recently I noticed that the MacOS (Mojave) Photos Screensaver no longer lets you skip through photos anymore (forwards or backwards.) Is there a fix for this? I think it happened after update 10.14.2

    a fix for the "Snowfall" Mac Screensaver

    Every year at Christmas I switch my screensaver to one called "Snowfall"...it has a red background with giant snowflakes falling. I recently upgraded to Mojave from Sierra and it stopped working. It says "You cannot use Snowfall Screensaver with this version of MacOS. Please contact the vendor...

    Trying to make a USB installer but APFS is the only option

    I had upgraded to Mojave awhile back and my computer was sooooooo slow so i decided to do a clean install. It took a long time but i backed up everything and was ready to make the USB boot install (which i thought was the best and possibly only way to do it.) When i went to format the USB drive...

    Mac Pro (Early 2009) upgraded to 5,1 - need upgrade advice

    Hi all- my early 2009 is still the best workhorse Mac I've ever had, and rather than buy an all-in-one, I still prefer the great flexibility that this tower provides. Upgraded it a couple years ago to a 5,1 3.46 GHz 6-Core and have 32GB memory. 10.13.6 OS and apps are on a Solid State drive...

    Is it better to do a clean install of a new operating system or just update the current one?

    I am looking to upgrade my operating system and was all set to do a clean install, but then someone told me on Apple's community forums that there is no point doing a clean install unless you are selling your mac. He said just to do a regular upgrade instead. Which is better? I have had...

    Has anyone had any problems with Mohave and Time Machine?

    I am about to upgrade from Sierra to Mohave (I skipped High Sierra because I have a Fusion drive) and was wondering if anyone has had any problems with Mohave and their Time Machine backup? I want to make a 2nd backup of my hard drive before I upgrade, but money is tight at the moment and...

    Can you run Mohave only from a USB drive?

    This might be a dumb question...can i run the public beta of Mohave from a USB thumbdrive only (and not install it on my computer at all?) Yes, I checked my friend Google, but couldn't find a definitive answer...

    Benefits of APFS on Fusion Drive?

    Hi guys, please enlighten me on this one, is it worth it to upgrade my Fusion Drive (1TB - iMac 5k late 2015) when Mohave comes out? Would be great if there are benchmarks on the same system :)
