how should I format an external SSD to install sequoia?? I had my MacOS running from an SSD, last day I was trying to update Sequoia but something went wrong and now the external SSD is not booting anymore. I have tried several things but nothing worked and now I have to format again the external SSD: I did this procedure years ago with Catilina and then I always kept the system updated.

Also, a moderator responded that Microsoft Outlook may be the culprit. Funny I have that installed but do not use it. I will uninstall Outlook and see what it does. Script Editor app, paste this is and Run and/or Save for future use: set previous\_pid to "" -- Initialize a variable to store the previous process ID repeat try set current\_pid to do shell script "pgrep WebThumbnailExtension"... 3 2 replies
Filevault Decryption error: Mac keeps rebooting when plugged in. I just made a dumb mistake by turning off filevault. [Problem]: It made my Mac kept restarting/rebooting itself, when I plug the power adapter.

I have about 1000 files that all have the date at the beginning before the video title. I know this may be a silly question but is there any way to mass edit all the files so it either no longer shows the date or puts the date AFTER the video name? Or do I have to do it one by one? Thanks. 4 1 replies

I'd considered just copying text and creating a fresh text document, but even text selection is blocked. I've tried looking at Sharing & Permission in Get Info for the... 2 1 replies

How to prevent lock/unlock on ipad to be changed in settings? My son uses my ipad for gaming, and sometimes for school as well. He’s been struggling with screentime-addiction so the time is restricted in the settings. But he changes the automatically “lock” settings to never, so it’s constantly unlocked, every time he gets my ipad in his hands.
