    Widgets and notification center stopped working

    Last night out of the blue one of my desktop widgets (i think it was either Battery or World Clock) stopped displaying anything, just an empty colored square. I tried to see what was the matter but then the entire set of widgets started flashing on and off. Trying to edit widgets doesn't...

    Sonoma Upgrade Acted Like New Install

    I upgraded to Sonoma a few weeks ago from Ventura and during the setup it basically acted like a new install and forced me to create a new user account, etc. So I did that but named it the same as my previous account. When it logged me in, my desktop, dock, spaces, and other custom settings...

    Sonama dictation quirk.

    Hi all, I am using Sonoma for dictation on my M1 MacBook Pro, 16 inch while I recover from wrist surgery. I have noticed a few quirks from its processing, but there is a particular one that is getting to me. I'd love to know if it's just my system, or if it's reproducible by others, and if...

    How to disable web search in Spotlight? (MacOS Sonoma 14.0)

    I hate web search in Spotlight. I hate the concept, I don't want to see it, I have never and will never use it so it just gets in the way. If I want to search on the web, I'll open a browser and search there. See image 1, where an intrusive suggestion to search on the web is the first...

    I recently updated to Sonoma, and that reset the "downloaded from the internet" popup for every application that isn't from the App Store. The weird thing is that Beyond Compare 4 (compares differences between text documents) was one of those that came up upon login, but it was definitely not...

    Install HP printer with driver, only (not HP Smart app)?

    I need to install an HP inkjet printer for a client. Is there a way to do so without the HP Smart app? I hate these utility apps that are really mostly adware. The computer is running macOS Sonoma.
