    Hi Mac friends. When I updated to Late 2015 5K iMac to macOS Monterey 12.0.1 and the iPhone 6s Plus to iOS 15.1, when I AirDrop a photo from the iPhone, the iPhone would just get stuck at "Waiting", although both Apple products can see each other. What could be the fix for this? The bluetooth...

    Has iCloud Drive improved in Monterey (compared to Big Sur?)

    I'm currently on Big Sur and find myself regularly fighting with the way iCloud Drive syncs its contents: If I add a big file on a different Mac, it gets downloaded everywhere automatically (which is intended), but during this process, it's impossible to tell Finder to stop downloading the file...

    What is your NTFS drive solution on Monterey?

    Hi, I've been using Tuxera NTFS for over 10+ years to be able to read/write on NTFS formatted drives on Mac and speed and compatibility has never been an issue.

    Renaming Files and Folders on a Windows Server Extremely SLOW after upgrade to Monterey

    I upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1 as soon as it became available. The biggest issue I'm having is that many Finder actions relating to files stored on our (Windows) servers is excruciatingly slow. In particular, renaming a file or folder takes a ridiculously long time to take effect. Sometimes the...

    The ultimate update for fixing the MBP 16" Intel-based.

    Opinion based on owning a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 model bought on July 2020; i9, 16GB memory, 1TB storage. My MacBook has been a mess pretty much since I got it. I couldn't return it because I got it abroad, and even though on my local Apple service they did change the screen and consequently the...
