Using 2+ Monitors on this platform is unintuitive Very small annoyance but happens so often i want to get others input on it. Does anyone else become annoyed/frustrated when having multiple instances of the same application open on separate desktops, it seems that when selecting that application macos will never open the application on the screen that you are using but the screen that the application was last open on. (well not never, but only if the desktop you're operating on happens to also be the desktop that the last open instance of the application was on)... 5 3 replies
Trouble daisy chaining 2x LG UltraFine 4k displays with M1 Pro Macbook Pro I have 2x LG Ultrafine 4k displays model: 24MD4KL ([these ones](https://www.lg.com/global/business/monitors/lg-24md4kl)) connected to my M1 Pro MacBook Pro with a thunderbolt 3 cable. They both work when they are both separately connected to the laptop but one does not work when daisy chained to the other monitor. On the monitor's website it says they support Thunderbolt daisy chaining, and both monitors have 2x thunderbolt ports in the back, but I cannot get it to work for some reason. When I play music I can switch audio output between the... 2 1 replies
Dock settings I have these apps that run in the background, but I don’t want them on my dock indefinitely. I already have the setting ‘keep recent apps in dock’ turned off. I can’t figure it out. I drag them off and they come back. One app doesn’t offer the hide option and the other apps hide option doesn’t work. The apps themselves don’t have a setting, but I didn’t look hard in the apps settings. 4 2 replies
Windows on Apple Silicon without VM Hey everyone, I am trying to see if it's possible to run Windows on Apple Silicon. I don't want to use something like parallels or another virtual machine. I've tried messing around with it and looked into WinDiskWriter, but it doesn't seem like my computer wants to boot from it and I'm not sure this is its intended purpose. I would use a VM but the computer I'm trying to run it on isn't powerful and it seems laggy and slow, on top of some other reasons. I know... 5 6 replies
Messages Hey guys, I am looking to delete all of my messages in the Message app on my MacBook Air to make more storage. However I have messages from my dad who died in 2019 and I need to keep those. Is there any way to download that whole thread or at least some of them to a document or something I can access elsewhere? My computer is operating on whatever software is right before Monterey, which is the reason I want to free up storage anyway, so I can... 4 0 replies

Mac OS 15 on Intel MacBook Air 2020 I just installed the new MacOS 15 on my MacBook Air. I upgraded from 10.15 directly too 15. So far I have noticed that it is way slower then 10.15.

"new file" from context menu? Not in some sort of "quick action" that just creates a text file, but a blank file that automatically wants you to type it's name (just like how 'New Folder' does) and extension. If not letting you type out the extension and name upon pressing the item on the context menu, maybe popout selections (example in photo)? \[New > Text Document | RIch Text Format | etc..\] Is there anything that will bring this obvious feature to macOS? and no, I will not consider alternatives like "just make the... 3 0 replies

Known issue: Pages unable to rename or save to drive Since updating Sequoia (now 15.3), I cannot open a blank document in Pages 14.3, retitle it and save it to desktop or icloud documents -- as I have done multiple times a day forever. It took Larry, the fourth Mac senior advisor, to tell me that this is a known issue and no, it will not help to create test users or update the OS. All we can do is wait until they update Pages. Until then, all docs must be saved by selecting file and Save as. I'm... 3 0 replies

Internet recovery randomly appeared and won’t go away Hi everyone, I know nothing about computers and am posting out of sheer desperation as a college student who needs to get work done. My laptop is a MacBook Pro Model A1502. It was doing this thing where it would select images and files on my desktop as if I had clicked on them, but then wouldn’t deselect when I clicked away. If I deleted the image, it would just jump to another image or file. I restarted my laptop, and then the internet recovery appeared. I’ve never gotten... 4 2 replies
Help on Installing Mac OS I have difficulties to install mac OS in My 2019 iMac (5K Retina 27 inch) now. The iMac was on Sonoma 14.x (not the latest one) before.
