PersonalizationPortrait I'm running Sequoia 15.2 (approximately a fresh install), and picked up on launchd writing to disk via fs\_usage to the directory \~/Library/PersonalizationPortrait/streams/rankedSocialHighlights/local which appears to be inbuilt Apple software, digesting my internet / social media / messaging activity - example snippet below.

Ctrl-tab issues on new Apple keyboard Hi, The new Apple touch-screen keyboard has altered the layout of the Ctrl and Option keys. The Option key physically sits where the Ctrl key used to sit. I frequently use the Ctrl-tab shortcut to cycle through tabs. As a result of the keyboard design change, it is much more difficult to use the Ctrl-tab shortcut to cycle through tabs. Can I set a keyboard shortcut to assign Option-tab combination to cycle through tabs? If so, how? 2 1 replies

The scroll bar in Safari won't disappear when I'm not scrolling Hi! I'm using a 2019 (Intel) MacBook Air. I updated my OS to MacOS Sonoma 14.7.2. Before the update, I had Sonoma 14.7.x (I don't remember the exact version). Since the update, the scroll bar in Safari is not automatically disappearing when I'm not scrolling. I tried using "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad" and "When scrolling" options and restarted my system, but it didn't work. When I select one of these options, the scroll bar works as expected until I reload the page. After reloading, it again stays... 5 1 replies
Clean My Mac X - Having Issues - Can't Download Some 3rd Party Software I read in one of these Mac groups that Clean My Mac deleted some files deep within the Apple OS ecosystem thereby messing with this guys computer.

Going back from 15.2 to 15.1 on M4 Mac mini? Hey everyone, got my first Mac for Christmas and it shipped with 15.1. Everything worked fine but when I updated to 15.2 it had that screen mirroring always on bug that some people already described here. Therefore I wanted to go back to 15.1 and wait for the bug to be fixed until I update. So I’ve tried creating a bootable usb with terminal for 15.1 which gave me the “Failed to extract AssetData/boot/Firmware/Manifests/InstallerBoot/* from update bundle The bless of the installer disk failed.” error message. After quick google... 3 8 replies

Something I just discovered if you watch Apple TV on your Mac. You can change the way the subtitles look by going into your MacOS settings, accessibility, captions. There you can pick a different profile or create your own from scratch. I personally prefer the font being shadowed with no background and you can do just that, but many other things like colour or font type. 1 3 replies
Any workaround to MBAir not supporting HDMI ARC? I have my MacBook Air connected to my LG smart TV by a USB-C to HDMI cable. The TV and my stereo receiver are connect by HDMI cables using the HDMI ARC ports. But I can’t listen to things played from my MBAir using the receiver because MacOS doesn’t support/allow/actively blocks HDMI ARC. If I want to listen using the TV’s speaker - no problem. But I want to listen via the stereo. Is there a solution to this? I can’t use Airplay because my wifi connection is too... 5 4 replies
