    Weird problem with web-based business service on some but not all office Macs

    I have a subtly unique and weird problem with a crucial web-based service not working correctly on three Macs, while performing fine on two other Macs and on PCs. Before I wipe and start fresh on the 3 Macs, I hope someone might have another idea. The problem: We use a big web app service to...

    Automatically sort bookmarks in Safari

    I'm surprised I cannot find a simple utility to keep bookmarks sorted automatically. My long-standing favorite, Bookmark Sorter, has been working perfectly until MacOS 11.3, but I think it's abandoned and I cannot get any response from the developer on their site or via Twitter. Its options are...

    Adding file types to Safari's safe-open list (Big Sur)

    Anyone know how to add file types to Safari's list of safe-to-open files after downloading? I'd like to add Citrix .ica files. I've seen examples of how to do this on older versions of Safari & macOS, but reports say they do not work on Big Sur. And before I go with trial and error, I'd like to...

    Recently purchased an iPhone 12 Pro, moving from an iPhone 7. Both running IOS 14. I have restored my iPhone 12 from the iPhone 7 backup (backup created on my MacBook).

    Safari 14.0.2 History Bug?

    This is driving me crazy. Safari is randomly forgetting the names of websites I visit. After closing and reopening Safari, some of the website names in History are being replaced by the sites' URL. If I show History using the menu or keyboard shortcut, the History list opens and the offending...

    Question about Safari Privacy Preference

    If you click on the Manage Website Data button in the Safari Privacy preference, it lists websites that "have stored data that can be used to track your browsing" and gives you an option to remove selected ones or all of them. So I go ahead and remove all of them. Then all I do is go to my home...
