    Massive 100+ GB "System Data" since upgrading to Monterey

    Just upgraded to Monterey this weekend and noticed almost this exact behaviour. For me it was over 372 GB of "System Data" and my local storage went from around 1.3 TB to 870 seemingly overnight. I know that I didn't use this much before because I have a clone of my hard drive pre-upgrade that...

    Mail app takes really long to load

    Lately, the Mail app on my Macbook Pro M1 has started taking a long time to load (around 1 minute). Whenever I launch it, the spinning ball appears and when I right-click on the app it says Application Not Responding until it loads. The Mac also becomes slow for a couple of seconds after...

    Monterey update on unsupported Mac with OCLP - some questions

    I ran into some questions/issues with my update of macOS Catalina on a Late 2013 27” iMac (14,2) to Monterey 12.3.1 using OCLP 0.4.3. I’m not sure if the ‘’Nvidia Kepler’ post-install patch’ worked properly and I’m not sure if my display needs some correcting. I’ll list my questions at the...

    Mac Studio M1 Ultra - macOS 13.4 Public Beta more stable

    My new macOS Mac Studio Ultra was exhibiting some odd squirreliness after I got it and updated to 12.3.1. I decided to ahead with the public beta of 12.4 and it is much more stable. All other devices participating in Universal Control need to be updated for this. But I am happy with the...

    PSA: Monterey 12.3 broke Automator combine PDF action

    Apparently the Automator action relied upon Python. And since Python gone, the action no longer works. there are some suggested alternatives here, but Apple really should’ve detected this beforehand (I.e., in terms of dependencies etc.) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253764288

    Strangness with recent Chrome update files and the times they display

    On monday, Google release version 100.0.4896.75 to address a security issue. However, if I use ls -l "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Frameworks/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions", or just go into the package contents in that directory, it lists April 1st, 20:44. Now there are...

    Monterey jumpy mouse cursor

    Hi! I'm experiencing jumpy mouse behaviour in Monterey. The cursor jumps multiple pixels (maybe 2-3 px) at once when moving at slow speed and in an erratic manner, which is very distracting. It looks as if it hangs until some distance was travelled and then jumps that distance at once. This has...

    External display quality went down after installing Monterey

    I've just updated my MBP (2017, 13") to from Mojave to Monterey 12.13.1 and the image quality on my external monitor (Samsung C24F390) went to hell. I'm not even talking graphics, but even Word documents look just pixelated and blurry. Any idea of what might have happened? How can I bring the...

    Is it possible to get a Wacom Intuos 3 to work in Monterey?

    I am upgrading from Sierra to Monterey and would like to keep using my trusty Intuos 3 tablet. It is ancient, but I see no reason to replace it. Regarding modern OS compatibility I've read different things online. Has anybody tried this?

    How can I import podcasts from iTunes into the new Podcasts app, especially those episodes that are not available anymore?

    I am manually migrating from Sierra to Monterey and I don't understand how to copy my podcasts over. In iTunes, I have large library of downloaded episodes that are not available in the respective feeds anymore. (Some shows only let you listen to the last 20 episodes or so.) How can I import...

    Word 2021 v16.59 won't print anymore after installing latest Monterey update (March 2022)—any ideas how to fix it?

    Since installing the latest Monterey update a week or so ago, my Word app will no longer bring up the PRINT dialog when I press COMMAND-P or select Print... from Word’s File menu. Any ideas how I might fix this? Not being able to print makes Word pretty useless to me.

    How risky to update Big Sur > Monterey without a full backup?

    We are having consistent problems with Macs / Time Machine not backing up to Synology NAS devices. So, local data has to be backed up manually which means getting some, very likely missing some and not getting any settings. My 2020 13" MacBook Pro is suffering from the 'reboot with every sleep'...

    How much 'System Data' does your Mac Have?

    I'm trying to live with my 128GB 2017 MacBook Pro. Every time I have to run a software update I usually have to uninstall programs and delete all my extra files. It's really a pain in the butt; but what's MORE annoying is that macOS uses most of my drive. Is this a lot for 'System Data'...

    Mail App Keeps Deleting & Redownloading Messages

    In a nutshell: I'll open my computer, and I see my Mail app connect to the wi-fi and update. For example, it'll go from 20 unread to 110. Then, sometimes after a while and sometimes right away, that number will tick all the way back down to around 0. It mostly affects one email (my personal one...

    Monterey external USB headset mic issues with FaceTime

    So I upgraded my Mac Mini 2018 last week, and was pleasantly surprised. Everything seemed to work fine, and it also seemed snappier — and Quicken running on Win10 via Parallels definitely was more responsive. today, tho, I encountered my first issue. My Logitech headset, which worked perfectly...
