Just for clarity, i use a few different editing programs on my computer that require me to be on a not so current Mac OS. I finally updated my (late 2013) Mac to Catalina. My computer was working perfectly fine before the update and now it barely even works after the update. It's a little infuriating. Feels like a total planned obsolescence situation. Has anyone else had this happen or have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/RookieParade [link] [comments]

Wanting to upgrade for a few compatibility issues but just double checking if this is a good idea for this laptop, or should i just stick with Big Sur for the time being?

I was transporting a folder to my macbook and it happened to have the same name as the existing folder in my macbook. I thought that merging means keeping the old and adding the new, however, I realised that my old file was gone after merging. Now I don’t know how to get my old file back, is there any ways i can get it back? submitted by /u/angxllaa [link] [comments]

My OS version is Mojave. tl;dr - Is there any app or method that allows me to use the volume keys to change the built-in output/system volume that I can hear through speakers or headphones, but NOT the volume on the Blackhole audio device that is being used for screen recording? Through the internet, I found out that in order to record system audio in a screen recording, you need something like Blackhole. I've been able to successfully set everything up (though I don't know what the point of an aggregate device is if you're not recording with a microphone, it doesn't seem to have any use to me and I can get by with just a multi-output device). The problem is that in order to record audio, I can't just point to the multi-output device in a program (programs don't even see it), I have to change my system's audio setting to use the multi-output device in the system settings. When you do this, you cannot change the volume with the keyboard keys. And if you go to sound settings or check the box to show the volume icon in the menu bar, you have to switch to the built-in audio, change the volume, and switch back, OR go to the midi settings and drag the volume slider of each left and right channel since the master option is grayed out for some reason. I found an app called MultiSoundChanger which allows me to change the system volume that I'm hearing in my headphones even while the multi-output device is selected in the system sound settings. BUT, this also immediately sets the Blackhole device's volume to the same as the built-in output volume, meaning that any recording is super quiet. I can set the Blackhole audio high and the built-in audio low so it doesn't explode my ear drums, but if I ever want to change it, It will mess up the recording in one way or another. Is there any app or method that allows me to use the volume keys to change the built-in output/system volume that I can hear through speakers or headphones, but NOT the volume on the Blackhole audio device that is being used for screen recording? submitted by /u/Egg-MacGuffin [link] [comments]

I was at apple store recently trying out the new 24" M1 iMacs and noticed something strange. If saved a 1920x1080p picture to it and opened the image in either quick look or preview it would strangely take up about 80% of its 4K screen. Why does this happen? A picture that size should take up closer to ~25% of 4K screen. No matter what I did I couldn't the computer to display the image accurately, I always got this weird upscaled version of the image. Is there anyway to make modern iMacs display images properly? If I buy one will I have to at upscaled images like that forever? Please help! submitted by /u/ChamberKeeper [link] [comments]

Trying to find a solution to have my MBP mirror & sync my Mac Mini without having to VPN and remote desktop in. Already use iCloud so documents and desktop are synced but trying to get programs and folders synced as well. submitted by /u/atomic92 [link] [comments]

Now that my mac is hooked to a 38" widescreen monitor the performance is much worse. The cpu load goes crazy in more demanding apps, such as logic, ableton, zoom, OBS etc. Is this normal? Is it because of the mac warming up due to being closed inside my desk? If so, should I get a cooler to put underneath it or something? Have you guys also experienced slowdowns when running a big monitor? Any ideas of what I could try to fix this? I had doubts this might me the new macOS ventura has I updated around the same time I changed the monitor. I really like this new screen so I want to find a way to make this work with it. ​ Here are my specs: Macbook Pro 16-inch Late 2019 model 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB 32 GB DDR4 RAM 1 TB SSD MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 ​ Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/superlydian [link] [comments]

Im using a 2017 macbook pro with macOS catalina and 121 gbs of storage. 70 of those gbs are taken up by "other", it's been bothering me for a while and i was just wondering if anybody had any idea about what it could be. I've already deleted previous versions of google chrome and basically anything else i can afford to delete. Has anybody else experienced this? if so did you find something that worked? submitted by /u/MedasJ226 [link] [comments]

Hi! I recently bought MW2 on steam and realized I can't play it on my m1 2022 MacBook Air (Ventura 13.0.1). So I downloaded playonmac to play MW2 on a virtualized operating system and downloaded steam on it. But when I open it, I get a black login screen. I followed this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYom6i2CDec (skip to 6:12). Everything worked fine until he opened steam on playonmac. Please help. https://preview.redd.it/xdkruy71s63a1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5db9e0dc60056915cbc102a1c1f4e41e65f5b99c submitted by /u/Yooyaiscool1 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, how can I modify the general information in my hard disk? I need to do it because the apparently ''creation date'' Is set on 1970 but I bought my hard disk few years ago.... when I put pics in photos (Mac) I find all the pics randomly without any specific order and with wrong information like the year when the pic was taken. About ''sharing and permission'' it says '' you have a custom access''. Help please. Thank You submitted by /u/Lorenzzz17 [link] [comments]

I've recorded a really long video, and was trying to transfer it to my Mac. I Connect my iPhone to my Mac, and recognizes the iPhone. OK. I Open Finder to see if I'm able to see my video file, and nothing. Open the Photos app on my mac, and nothing. Open the "Image Capture" program, and still nothing. All photos/videos are appearing, except my last one. I realized that the video has still not been fully uploaded to the Cloud, for this reason, it's not appearing for me to transfer. The thing is, I want to use my cable. The video is REALLY big, I really don't want to wait to upload to the cloud, just for me to Download the same video again on my Mac. It seems like connecting my iPhone to my Mac using a cable is the equivalent do nothing, because if I cannot transfer a file directly, what is even the point. I don't want to use the dawn cloud service. Any external program that solve this? submitted by /u/RafaelSwi [link] [comments]

I bought into the “8 GB on M1 is enough!” parade and I’m paying for it. I don’t even do that intense of stuff, but using Lightroom (cloud), Photoshop and Spotify and Chrome absolutely CRIPPLE this computer. It’s kind of crazy. If I close everything but the one app out and I’m actively using it, I can work decently. But throw anything more into the mix and there’s stuttering, app freezing, Spotify sputtering out, etc. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to sell my 8 GB Mini and just get the 16 GB version? Even though going up to 16 GB is only a $200 upgrade when buying new, looks like I would only be able to sell the 8 GB Mini for something like $450 and 16 GB Minis go for $750 or so. So almost $300 to get out of this stuttering, slow Mac hellscape… submitted by /u/EveryLivingLine [link] [comments]
