The Globe (fn) key keeps switching to dictation, even though I want to keep it on Emoji! Title. I want the globe (fn) key on the bottom left of the keyboard to only be used for emojis. Sometimes it doesn't pop up and instead starts dictation. Then I go to the settings and for some reason, the setting is switched to dictation instead of Emoji. It keeps switching back for some reason. Anyone experience this? https://preview.redd.it/zcc9xti3vyie1.png?width=1064&format=png&auto=webp&s=684e92d036110ebee92d2ac9b69a623baabfbb51 1 0 replies

Ctrl+two finger zoom works on main screen but not extended monitors I tried to find this problem in this subreddit but no love. The control+2-finger swipe to zoom/magnify used to work but since I upgraded my hardware to the M3, the zoom happens only on my laptop monitor and not the extended one(s). Has anyone experienced this? How can I resolve it, please? 5 0 replies
Photos disappearing after rotating in finder I was using the Quick Actions > Rotate Left on some photos in Finder. A folder would temporarily appear (I can't recall the exact name of the folder, something along the lines of in process) but then it disappears. When I look at the file count in the folder, it is indeed subtracting the rotated file (example, started with 80 files, rotated 3, now file count is 77). When I look for the file in search, it shows it as being in the folder I had it. When I... 5 0 replies

AlDente Pro Help!! Hi guys! Just a disclaimer, I know battery apps like AlDente are controversial, I really would prefer not to hear all the comments saying how it's unecessary and whatnot. I have 2 MacBooks of identical health and am using AlDente on one to see if it helps in the long run. What are the optimal settings for AlDente Pro - Sailing, Sea protection, Calibration etc...

How can I get back "instant" page-up/down, jump to top / bottom? (i.e. no smooth scrolling) Just upgraded to a 2024 MBP (Sequoia) from a 2015 Retina (Catalina) and am getting mild motion sickness from the fast / smooth scrolling when I use the keyboard to page-up / down, and jump to top / bottom of the page. Old MBP (Catalina) jumps instantly. I've spent the past hour, or so trying to turn this "smoothness" off. I suspect that there's a terminal command that will do it, but my google-fu has failed me. I would be grateful for any help. 4 0 replies
"The Sims™ .Mac Promo": anyone hear of it before? So, I happened to come across something called ["The Sims™ .Mac Promo"](https://web.archive.org/web/20060325005336/http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/simsdotmac/) on Aspyr's website from 2006. There's also a variation called ["The Sims™ .Mac Promo-Japan"](https://web.archive.org/web/20060325005336/http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/simsdotmacj/). Both item pages are empty though. Each version also has a support page that's also essentially empty: * ["The Sims™ .Mac Promo Support"](https://web.archive.org/web/20040805175347/http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/simsdotmac/support/) * ["The Sims™ .Mac Promo-Japan Support"](https://web.archive.org/web/20060325005336/http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/simsdotmacj/support/) The only other mention I could find was from this [blog post from 6/20/05](https://blog.futureismild.net/archives/25769846.html): * "今もっているのは、Diablo2、Tower2(京都ビルセット)、Sims(".Mac"更新のおまけ、開封すらしていない)。" * "What I currently have is Diablo 2, Tower 2 (Kyoto building set), and Sims (a bonus from... 5 0 replies
Frustrating - Screenshot preview keeps coming back I have gone to my screenshot settings and turned the preview thumbnail OFF 5 times and it just keeps coming back after a while and/or after a reboot. I've also edited these settings in the terminal but nothing seems to be keeping it from coming back. Is this possibly an OS bug with latest release? Thank you. 2 0 replies

Dear Apple, It's time to retire the HDD icon It's been a long time since Apple shipped a computer with an internal spinning hard drive. Don't you think it's time to change the icon? I found this one a long time ago and I think it looks great. I wasn't able to find who made it so I'm unable to give attribution. https://preview.redd.it/z28e1cd54yie1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=44eeedef1095b6f76a6b94c25695742bb71d3ab0 1 1 replies

Normal Network behaviour during setup/OSRecovery I just got a new MacBook Pro M3 Pro and ran into some weird issues during setup. While setting up for the first time, I got a “network connection” error (screenshot 1). Thinking it was my WiFi, I retried, entered my password, and moved on. However, after setup, I couldn’t check for macOS updates or access the App Store—it kept saying I wasn’t connected to the internet. Strangely, Safari worked fine with full-speed internet. Thinking it might be an OS issue, I reset the Mac via Settings and set... 3 0 replies
