Cryptic Characters and Blank Pages When Printing? Does anyone know anything about the error of printing cryptic characters and blank pages? When this occurs, I have to switch off the printer completely and empty the print queue otherwise all my paper is used up. This happens both when printing from the Pages app and when printing PDFs. It's not constant (thankfully), but it's happened a few times now. Does anyone know about this error or have had similar experiences? 2 0 replies
Unable to format SanDisk Micro SD cards in Disk Utility- Sequoia 15.2 I've got two SanDisk Micro SD cards, 64GB and 128GB. The 128GB is new never been used. The 64GB had contained the OS for a Raspberry Pi 4. I tried reformatting the 64GB to reinstall the RPi OS. I used the RPi reformatter but it failed giving the error of "error reading from storage SD card may be broken" when verifying. When that didn't work I tried the 128GB but ended up getting the same error message. I switched over to Balena Etcher and get this error message at... 2 3 replies
External devices keep getting disconnected during file transfer I have a m1 based macbook pro. I notice it would disconnect an external device after say 10min of file copying. For example, I have a dji pocket (basically a camera), and I copy files from it to the macbook via usb c. If the transfer is less than around 10min it will be fine but afterwards it might disconnect. Same problem when I try to copy files from the macbook to an external ssd drive. There is nothing wrong with both devices as I have performed the same... 3 2 replies
Looking for advice for a DisplayLink dock/adapter Hi there ! I just bought an M3 MacBook Air (16 gigs if that matters) and I wanted to make it work with my 2 display environment. My first display is an HDMI one (1080p), and the other one is quite older : it's VGA/DVI (I already have an HDMI adapter if that helps). I'd also like if possible to keep the lid open and therefore have 3 displays (including the Retina display) Anything you'd recommend ? I read online I should use DisplayLink (as my MacBook is limited... 1 1 replies
Forced to unlock Apple ID at least once a day My wife has an M1 iMac, and an iPad mini. She does not have a cell phone of any kind. Her Apple ID does not use two-factor authentication. She is forced to unlock her Apple ID on these machines routinely--generally at least once per day. To unlock, she has to go through answering security questions. I have multiple Apple devices, including an iPhone and I use two-factor authentication. If I even have to give my Apple ID password once a month for something that's a lot. I have never... 5 8 replies
Desktop and Documents files disappear when I disable iCloud sync This is really annoying. I have zero reason to need for iCloud to meddle with my desktop and documents folders. It was forced on me with the newest OS update. I tried to disable it but then all my files disappear. Anyone know how to simply deactivate the syncing and keep the files where they are? Thank you. 3 3 replies

Macbook or Mac Mini for music production I’ve been thinking of getting a mac for music production and maybe light gaming, but mostly for making music on Logic Pro (this will be my first mac jsyk). I want to produce songs that are a mix of metal/electronic rock, and I would see myself only using between 20-40 tracks for each song. I’ve been looking at the m4p mac mini and the m4p macbook pro (14inch), both in which have 24gb RAM and 512gb storage. As far as I know the mini is less expensive, along with... 3 0 replies

Not the brightest menu item placement Are Apple software engineers deliberately trying to cause you problems? Erase disk right below eject disk?

MacOS Simulator scroll behaviour like in iPhone Mirroring (using trackpad) In MacOS Sequoia's new feature iPhone Mirroring there is a support of trackpad scroll. Do you guys know anything about how to achieve this on a Simulator? Technically Simulator has more capabilities to make it possible, isn't it? iPhone mirroring is just a, well, mirroring, all happen on actual Apple device, but Simulator runs entire OS inside MacOS. Thanks in advance. 1 0 replies

Report Notchless Resolution to Apps? I'm on an Air M3 running 15.2. It has a notch. Without the notch, the screen resolution is 2880x1800; with the notch, vertical resolution goes up to 1864, but with a notch out of it. Problem is, a lot of games (ones from Zachtronics and Draknek in particular) auto-detect the resolution in fullscreen, and the vertical resolution they detect is 1864 rather than 1800. They scale their own picture to that ratio, then macOS cuts off the notched bits and either cuts off part of the game with them... 2 0 replies
Transfer data from NTFS to MacOS - how? I am tying to help someone transfer all their data from a PC to a new Macbook Air. I've consolidated everything onto a single 3TB USB drive (only need to transfer a portion of this to the macbook, the rest will stay on portable media). I am not a mac user myself. I tried connecting to the HDD to the macbook via a USB-C hub but get a warning message saying the drive is not readable and have 3 options: Eject, Ignore or Initialise. I thought MacOS could read... 3 5 replies
