Does OS Sequoia not support the 5k resolution of the 27in iMac? I had to manually reset the resolution to 5120 × 2880 in the "advanced" section of the display settings, however this has resulted in the text and icons being incredibly small. Is there a way to fix this without making the resolution lower? 5 1 replies

The vanishing mouse cursor I'm not sure what to make of this one. Every couple of days the cursor, if still for a bit, will spontaneously disappear on my Mac Mini M2, (a hard wired Kensington Orbit), and the only way I get it back is to unplug it's USB cable and re-insert it. At boot up it will always work as expected. Not a big deal, but rather annoying. This occurs regardless of what port it's inserted into, whether into the Mini itself or the dock that's attached to it. This occurs... 4 0 replies

Force Old AMD Drivers on macOS Sequoia? I've got a 2019 MacBook Pro 15 with an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M that I upgraded to Sequoia. I've been running into the same issues outlined in this MacRumors forum post: [https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/screen-flashes-red-when-changing-tabs-or-loading-content-in-general-all-over-the-os.2412954/](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/screen-flashes-red-when-changing-tabs-or-loading-content-in-general-all-over-the-os.2412954/) Random red flashes when switching tabs in Safari and occasional system crashes. I'm not inclined to suspect hardware failure, especially given that other people are running into this exact same issue, also after updating. I tried forcing iGPU and dGPU: it only happens when using the dGPU. The issue seems to be in relation to the AMD... 3 0 replies

Automator bash code runs only when started manually I have created a 'Run shell script' file in Automator - it works perfectly well when running it using the 'play' button in Automator, or running the same code from the terminal app. [https://imgur.com/a/vDAvghw](https://imgur.com/a/vDAvghw) I wanted to add a keyboard shortcut for this Automator job, but when using it via the shortcut, the little gear runs, but the script doesn’t execute as expected. my shell script: `#!/bin/bash` `/Users/shanekm/Applications/InputSwitcher/hidapitester --vidpid 046D:B020 --usagePage 0xFF43 --usage 0x0202 --open --length 20 --send-output 0x11,0x00,0x0C,0x1C,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00` `#/Applications/DDPM/DDPM.app/Contents/MacOS/DDPM /writepxp off;` `exit 0` 5 0 replies

SMB Mount (NAS) at login (no matter whether it's done via script of login item) SUPER slow (25MB/s). If I unmount and remount, I get expected speeds (700MB/s). I know SMB in macOS is hot garbage, but this is insane! Any thoughts? Tacticals: Server: Mac Studio M1 (10GB CAT6A SFP+) NAS: Synology DS1821+ (10GB fiber SFP+) Switch: USW Pro 24 PoE Gateway: USD-Pro Server OS: macOS 14.7.3 (rolled back because 15.x was a friggin' nightmare for mounted shares) Both SFP connections are set to auto (MTU: 1500 - no jumbo frames) Before I create a script that will mount, unmount, and mount again, wanted to see if I am missing anything. 2 1 replies

Old files from a backup are corrupting my new 2025 Macbook Pro. First Macbook was used brand new from 2009 to 2018. When it died I did a Time Machine backup onto an external drive.

External monitor not working!!! I have a MacBookPro M2 and when i connect it with my samsung monitor with a HDMI cable and a connector to plug in the cable to my mac it just doesn’t work. The monitor recognizes the HDMI but boom black screen then again it searches and finds HDMI and the process repeats infinitely.

Reformat Fusion Drive Hi. The internal Fusion Drive of my 2019 was way too full and consequently very slow. I acquired a new external Samsung SSD and have made that the boot drive. I updated to Sequoia and it boots great. My intention was to then erase and reformat the Fusion Drive to use it as a workspace for photo work. I quickly tried to erase, and reformat. These efforts failed as the drive was “mounted”. I tried to eject that drive but it indicated that one or more programs were accessing... 2 1 replies
Is your iPhone mirroring and other continuity features not working? Check if you have a bluetooth dongle attached. I have been having this issue for months (since the betas started for MacOS 15 Sequoia) and have been searching and searching for a fix. Nothing. I have seen people online, in particular this subreddit, begging Apple for a fix. My Mac spent a whole week in the Apple Store this past week. No luck. It still persisted. Then today, I started unplugging shit and found something was doing it. It was a pluggable Bluetooth dual-mode dongle. I actually started using it at the beginning of the MacOS beta... 4 0 replies
