    I'm assuming there's a really simple answer for this. The wireless in my apartment is shared by many people. The router itself is in a very inconvenient location for me to physically access however the signal it provides works just fine. I need to connect the "Hue Bridge" to a router with an...

    Forwarding native Notifications to another Mac

    I am running a server in headless mode. It would be nice to be able to forward the native Notifications to another Mac the way Growl can. Does anybody know of an app for that? Should really be part of continuity.

    Will Time Machine backup an iTunes library that's stored on a network share?

    I store my iTunes library on a Synology NAS and access it from an SMB share. The library is larger the SSD in my Macbook, so I cannot store it locally. Does Time Machine back a library that is on a network drive? I entered Time Machine today and tried to navigate to the iTunes library share...

    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".

    Alternatives to AirPort base stations
