When is a conversation a conversation according to Mail app? I don't really get when Mail.app groups mails together as a conversation and when it doesn't. Example: I've written the same mail separately to multiple recipients. So, not all recipient addresses in the "To:" field for one mail, but individual mails to every single recipient. Now some of them have responded in person, some of them sent out-of-office notes, and some both (they responded once they got back in office). Now, the Mail app groups SOME of these exchanges to conversations, but not others, e.g. for some, the out-of-office... 2 0 replies

WindowServer still buggy on M Chips? There are still recent posts from users complaining about the WindowServer process, especially on M chips. I’m also using an M2 Mac Mini with a 4K Samsung display (HDMI) and experiencing the following: * The process consistently consumes 10–30% CPU. While this might not noticeably affect performance, wear and energy consumption are still concerns. * The process uses between 500 MB and 4 GB (!) of RAM. Whenever SWAP is being used, I notice a significant slowdown. * Resetting the system hasn’t resolved the issue. Does anyone have a... 1 2 replies

Screen mirroring to extend screen of MacMini+Studio Display to 2019 iMac I'm using Screen Mirroring to extend (not mirror) my mini M4's studio display screen onto a 2019 iMac.

Screen Saver app randomly appeared on dock **TITLE CORRECTION: SCREEN SHARE APP NOT SCREEN SAVER APP** Hey guys, Today I opened my MacBook Air and found the Screen Sharing Mac Application sitting in my dock, it wasn’t opened as a tab, but the app was just sitting there with that little grey dot underneath it. I definitely didn’t open this app myself, as I’d literally never seen it or even heard of it till I saw it there, which is why I noticed it straight away. Like I said, zero recollection of opening the app so... 2 0 replies

Where can I download the Yosemite.app file? (NOT .PKG or .DMG!!) I have a 2018 macbook pro, and an old 2009 iMac that needs to have yosemite reinstalled.

After all typical solutions tried, still can't eject disks same store - can't eject external hard disks, but none of the solutions I have come across have worked. Running Sequoia 15.1.1 I've run the terminal process "sudo lsof | grep \[volume name here\] to isolate that it is mds and mds\_store keeping my disks from ejecting. I've gone to System Settings>Spotlight>Privacy and added these drives to the "do not index" list or whatever. Doesn't work. I've gone to Activity Monitor and killed mds and mds\_store. They just come right back. So that doesn't work. I've waited days in... 5 1 replies
