    Live Photos Edits Give Distracting Non-Centered Zoom

    I have started to notice that editing Live Photos on Mac under certain, but not rare configurations can cause Live Photos edits to have incorrect, distorted zooms that can also be seen across devices. I have submitted bug report, but wondering if anyone here is having the same issue. Wrong...

    Switched to Mac after 5 years, something wrong happened during this time.

    Hello, A little bit of context: I've used Macs since 2009 to 2012, but getting a powerful mac machine was very expensive for me at that time, so I got a lenovo i7 2.4ghz (4700MQ), 755m SLI, 16GB ram and a 256gb ssd. The machine was more than wonderful, there was nothing I could throw at it...

    Emptying trash painfully slow in Sierra

    So I am on Sierra since yesterday. When creating a new clone using Carbon Copy Cloner, the target disk was full so I had to clean up some stuff. I deleted some directories from CCC's Safety Net folder and emptied the trash. At least, that is what I was trying to do.... The total amount of file...

    Sick of the beach ball

    I have a 2014 21" iMac. I use hardly any space on the hard drive. So I am getting a bit tired of the 'spinning beach ball' every few seconds. Deleting PLIST files, PRAM resets, file cleaning, memory cleaning, dicking around with WiFi channels and doing a f**king rain dance to the king of the...

    Choppy mouse on macOS Sierra 10.12.3? (Both trackpad and wired)

    My mouse movement periodically becomes choppy/jumpy after maybe an hour of use. The problem goes away temporarily with a reboot, but it returns before long. This seems to happen regardless of RAM usage (I'm always at about 3.25/4.0GB used). The choppiness is exactly what you'd expect from a...

    Upgrading from Mavericks to Sierra: What to look out for?

    My 2014 MacBook Pro and my 2010 Mac Pro are both still running OSX 10.9.5, mostly because of some specific software compatibility issues and because I use these machines for work and am always hesitant to upgrade. Now, the time has come where the compatibility issues of not updating have gotten...

    Sierra Sound Problems

    I guess I'm hoping this might well have been posted before and somebody can point me in the right direction as this is starting to my head in... My late 2009 27" iMac seems to have developed a problem where it insists a pair of headphones is plugged in and there's no internal audio option in...

    After updating to 10.12.3 Mail search gives zero results

    Since I upgraded to Sierra 10.12.3 the Mail.app search function doesn't work anymore. I have 8 email accounts and when I type something in the search field in Mail.app I get nothing. Funny thing, I can view the emails from Spotlight. So my suspect is about a bug on the app. I tried to: -...

    Boot drive selection screen slow/unresponsive in Macbook Pro (Early 2015)

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 13" (Early 2015) model and a bootcamp partition with Windows 10 installed in it. The dual boot to macOS and Windows was working just fine until about two month ago. I was switching operating systems using the alt/option key at bootup through the Bootup drive selection...

    Thunderbolt (DisplayPort) or HDMI on LG monitor

    I've got a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina and a LG 27 UD68 monitor. I've got it hooked up with an HDMI cable and it works. Would there be an advantage to using the Thunderbolt/DisplayPort output through an adaptor to the DisplayPort input of the LG monitor? One possible adaptor...

    How to set custom resolution for internal display in Sierra?

    I'm using Sierra on a 2015 15" retinal MPB. When I do screen recordings using Quicktime, the files I get are enormous and entirely unnecessary since I'm just going to scale them down in iMovie anyway. Plus, doing a screen recording seems to just be too much for this laptop; the fans go like...

    Cannot delete libgutenprint.2.0.3.dylib

    I just installed OSX 10.12.3 on my mid 2012 MBP. There's a folder called Incompatible Software and inside libgutenprint.2.0.3.dylib, which I cannot delete. The error I get is: “libgutenprint.2.0.3.dylib” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by macOS. Any idea how to get rid of...

    MacBook won't boot after 10.12.3 update.

    I updated to Sierra 10.12.3 doing the normal process through the app store, and after it updated and rebooted, it doesn't boot into the OS anymore for some reason. Not sure what happened and I don't know how to fix it without losing my data. O just updated it normally like every other update and...

    Time Machine hidden file in Public folder?

    Any idea why the hidden file ".com.apple.timemachine.supported" was created in my user Public folder? I'm sure it's harmless, but why would a file associated with an app that backs up sensitive data be in the Public folder of my user account? (I don't use Time Machine at the moment by the way.)

    Hi, I have a really annoying problem. I have an MBP 15" late 2013 with Mac OS sierra beta 10.12.3 beta and my safari freezes / crashes after one hour of use. When I check the Task Manager it says that Safari takes 55gb of Ram though it has compressed 53gb, do not know what it means but assume...

    iCloud contact not appearing on Mac?

    I think I have everything set up correctly but maybe I'm missing something? I know I have contacts on my iPhone that are not appearing on my MacBook Pro in either the Messages app or even the Contacts app. I am logged into the same iCloud account on both devices. I have contacts enabled in...

    I have three email accounts in Mac mail. Two of them I use anonymously at times but I have just discovered from return emails that my full name is associated with the email address. The person at the other end can see who I am. I have googled for help and old posts talk about how to change it by...
