    System differences between upgrading two versions or skipping a version

    Greetings, With my classic Mac Pro, I used to do clean installs of macOS for a fresh start. However, with my M1 Mac Studio, I’m going to upgrade from Monterey 12.7.6 to either Ventura or Sonoma. This is mostly because I don't have the time. Although many people have success skipping a version...

    Safari no longer recognizes command-option-F to start a search—is there a preference I can delete, or a setting I can change to get the function back?

    For some reason, in the last couple of days, command-option-F no longer works to start a search in Safari on my Mac running Ventura; if I press the key combination in Safari, nothing happens. I realize that I use that command all the time (!) and want to find a way to get it working again. Is...

    What's your preferred macOS browser, and why?

    Hey all, I'm curious what your preferred macOS browser is. Google/gmail is always suggesting I convert to Chrome from Safari and I contemplate it; but I really love the integration with keychain in Safari. If you've made the switch from Safari and have never looked back, what drew you to the...

    Code to Display the Screen Orientation Again on Display Preferences?

    Hello Apple friends. It's sad the screen orientation was taken away for the main display (it only appears if you plug in a second monitor) in Monterey but is there a Terminal code to bring it back in the Display Preferences so there's no need to use the beta (will most likely have side-effects)...

    Change inbox badge color for easier readability

    I just upgraded to OS 12.2 from OS 10.14. Lots of interface changes, many of which I don't like or am having difficulty using. One in particular that is troublesome is the color of the Inbox badges showing counts of unread messages (Not the Mac Mail dock icon count). Currently these show up...

    [11.6] can't disable notifications from System Preferences

    I had this problem with 10.15, too, or at least I did in the last month or so. when I try to adjust the "do not disturb" times, the first field works okay but the second remains stuck... grayed out, in effect, and always set to 00:00 .

    locking system preferences "date & time"

    Hi there, is there a way to lock the access to only the system preferences of date and time? Maybe using the terminal? (I'm using an anti procrastinating software – that can easily be tricked by simple changing the time in the system preferences.) Thanks in advance
