Unable to install python 3.13 on Sequoia My normally faultless brew install of python 3.x has encountered an issue with 3.13. I'd appreciate any pointers. I've tried removing brew, plus all formulae before reinstalling brew and [python@3.13](mailto:python@3.13). Here's the on screen errors after the auto installation of the dependancies.

Experiences with Universal Control? Hey all! Just wondered how others here are getting on with UC? The first time I realised, by accident, that I could just pass my mouse cursor from one computer to the other I was blown away. And I think when just using the MacBooks (an M1 Max and an M3 Max) on their own with no input peripherals, it's...fine? However, for my job I use a Logitech Master MX3 and keyboard. And it's so, so flaky. It'll work fine for a bit and then stop, and I lose... 2 0 replies
Running the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K on macOS with SteerMouse I recently got my hands on the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K and noticed that not all of its buttons map correctly on macOS when using SteerMouse (other mapping apps seem to work fine!). Since I don't have a dedicated PC, I experimented with a Windows VM (using Parallels Desktop) to adjust the settings. Here’s what ended up working for me: 1. **Connect Your Mouse:** Pair your mouse with your Mac using either BLE or a Razer receiver. 2. **Set Up Windows Environment:** Install Razer Synapse 4 on a Windows 11... 5 0 replies
MacBook Air M1 dual screen update ? Is it just me or apple has released an update who unlock duals screen for MacBook Air ? Previously when I plugged my external screen at a resolution of 3840*1080, the screen was duplicated exactly on both screen at the same aspect ratio. So the internal screen of my MacBook wasn’t utilized because of lack of resolution. It was due to a « hardware » limitation of the M1 chip (1 graphical core disabled during the fabric process because he wasn’t operating correctly). But recently when I plugged my external screen... 4 2 replies

What is the /Volumes/Preboot/ folder? I recently checked my disk usage and noticed that the /Volumes/Preboot/ folder contains a subdirectory with a long UUID-like name. Inside, I found several folders, including cryptex1, restore, and boot, with cryptex1 taking up over 11GB of space. What exactly is the purpose of the Preboot volume? Why is cryptex1 using so much storage? Is it safe to delete or clear any of these files to free up space? Could this be related to macOS updates, FileVault, or system recovery? Any insights would be appreciated! 3 0 replies

MS Intune coming: how do I separate my Apps and Docs best? Hi all, situation is as follows: I have a company MBP M1 Pro. I was basically allowed to do whatever I wanted on it. Now Admins are rolling out MS Intune to manage Devices. As far as I know, I can simply create 2 users with admin rights as a way of compartmentalizing Apps & Data. Are there any experiences with MS Intune? Do I have to mind certain aspects an/or restrictions? Admins said that they do it to only manage Apps. 2 0 replies

Is there a way to delete software update files in the Update volume on Mac? Hello, I have an M3 MacBook Air that runs MacOS Sequoia. Recently, a software update file got downloaded(MacOS 15.3) which I don't intend on installing. It appears that I might have lost approximately 10 GB of drive space as a result of this update having been downloaded, despite the size of the software update being approximately 3.5 GB. I believe the update folder containing the associated update files is located in the Update volume under System. I don't seem to be able to delete the update folder or the... 2 0 replies
MS365 Calendar Sync Issue I have several calendars synced in my Apple Calendar on an Apple Silicon Mac. While Google and iCloud calendars are syncing perfectly (as well as the one MS365 which is slightly used), one of my MS365 accounts, has issues with refreshing after some time. And it's not affecting all events, but mainly new events. The only fix is to disable and enable calendar sync in this account, and some times even this does not work and I have to re-add the account on my Internet accounts. Any solutions that... 3 0 replies

Updated to Sequoia, now crashing games close all apps and force a login Just updated my MBP to Sequoia, and since then have been having real problems with playing games on Steam that worked fine before the update. A recurring theme is that the game will crash, all my applications close, and I have to log back in to my machine -- but notably, it is NOT powering down or rebooting, this is all happening within the space of a second or two What might be going on? Could this be a graphics driver problem? 4 1 replies
