Advice for SSD recovery/repair I have a 1TB LaCie external SDD that formerly served as a Time Machine backup volume. After removing it from the Time Machine Settings menu list of available destinations, the device no longer mounts (macOS 15.3, MacBook Pro M1).

When plugged in, the device's activity light goes on for several minutes... 3 0 replies
Anybody else having this issue? My MacBook will ask me for my password at least ones a month, and what makes it so annoying is that it will immediately pop back up again after I hit close. It is always in the way and I have to wait till I get home to check my password to make it go. 1 0 replies

You should move it to the trash.” From online searches I suspect it’s something to do with some of the old files remaining from... 1 1 replies

Are there any issues with applying a license in a VM? Yes, the unlicensed version runs perfectly fine, but I just want to license it for... 3 0 replies
Conveniently and selectively close apps/instances from the top bar of Mission Control When you open mission control (three finger swipe up), and you have a lot of browser instances open (e.g. 10+), it would be great to have a quick way to close the ones you don't need. You *could* \- Quit the browser entirely, closing all instances, even the ones you're still using (e.g via force quit) \- Close them one by one by clicking on them, waiting the few hundred milliseconds macOS makes you wait for some reason, then command + shift + w to close it, then repeat... 4 1 replies
