M2 Mac Mini '23 crashes when trying to do a Time Machine backups over smb to a 2014 MacBook Pro. Network issues or Apple Silicon vs. Intel issues? I have an old 2014 Macbook Pro (Big Sur) that I'm using as a makeshift home server. My main workstation is a 2023 M2 Mac Mini (Sequoia). I recently set up Time Machine to back up over my local home network via SMB (over wifi) to an external hard drive attached to the Macbook Pro. For the most part, it seems to work fine. However, whenever it tries to backup over night or when I'm away from the Mac Mini for extended periods, the Mac Mini crashes and restarts.... 1 1 replies
Help to remove a file/folder I recently uninstalled an app called Taio. It seems to have almost completely been uninstalled. Except for the following: /Users/peteranderson/Library/Mobile\\ Documents/iCloud\\\~app\\\~cyan\\\~taio I don't know how to remove it. I have an app called "Find Any File" (and quite good it is 😃😆😁) which I use to remove the left-overs of deleted apps. FAF finds the above file but can't show it in the Finder. I would appreciate any advice on how to remove this file/folder. Regards, Peter 2 0 replies
Am I the only one who gets annoyed by moving a window by a few pixels by accident? I don't use full screen at all because for example by having a fully extended (but not full screen) chrome window and a VS code window in a single desktop I can switch between them instantly. but from time to time, I accidentally do what I mentioned on title. am I the only one? I hope that windows adjacent to the edge of a screen are a bit sticky so that it won't move until I drag far enough to a certain point. 1 3 replies

Are VPNs still an issue with the newest Sequoia (15.2) update? Hey everyone, I haven't updated my OS in a while (Still on Monterey 12.3) and was going to give Sequoia a try. I read in the bugs thread that the VPN issue was a major plague contained within the first release of Sequoia, interfering with an assortment of things from wifi connectivity to typing in the message app. Has this VPN bug been fixed? I haven't seen it mentioned much outside of that thread. I use NordVPN on a M1 Pro 2021 Macbook if it makes any difference. Thanks!... 1 1 replies
Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard for MacBook Pro I'm looking for a bluetooth compatible mechanical keyboard for Excel work on my personal MacBook Pro.

How to permanently unhide files? Some of my files have been erroneously marked as hidden because the OS mistakenly assigned them a garbage file extension. Changing them to have a normal file extension did not fix this, and I have not found a way to mark them as unhidden thus far. 5 0 replies
