Weird 'Update' Location in Finder I've noticed i've got this location in finder called 'Update'. Might just be an automatically downloaded update, but seems fishy to me that there is a PNG file with 'your mac will restart when update completes', as this doesn't look like an apple thing. Should I be weary that i've accidentally downloaded some malware? I can't eject the location or delete any of the files within it 4 0 replies
SMB Activity just seems to die randomly every few minutes Hello everyone! This year I have set up my own home server/NAS for saving my documents, photos and media to. It's a Lenovo M93P Tiny with a Xeon and 8GB of RAM with a 2.5 Gigabit NIC. My machine is a 2020 M1 MacBook Air on the latest OS. When transferring files over Ethernet/Wi-Fi, things will be progressing as normal and I get about 150MBs - 200MBs and then bang - maybe 1 or 2 kilobytes in or out. This lasts for about 30 seconds and then MacOS decides... 3 3 replies

How to install OS X Mavericks on Macbook Late 2009?? So i recently got my dad's old Macbook 2009 and i wanted to install Mavericks on it. So the process begins. First i asked Chat GPT and i was introduced to a program called "TransMac". So i downloaded a iso i found on the [archive.org](http://archive.org) website.

Multiple Users on a Mac, what happens with iPhone Hey, I'm not new to Mac, but I'm definitely just a consumer-level interactor. Email/Safari, word processing and excel, photography and lightroom, and music production. I spent two years testing out workflows and apps for a creative project of mine, and have a lot of residual junk (like extensions, firewall filters like little snitch). I don't know if I need a clean reinstall or anything but I'd like to get back to square one and install only the apps I know I will work with. Does creating a new user... 4 1 replies

To Mac Mini users: Why a Mac Mini instead of a laptop? Sup! Looking to hear your guys thoughts on this. Reason is that I'm looking to get rid of Windows for productivity, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but my desktop PC sucks ass for the most basic tasks, while performing pretty good for games. So, since I don't travel, I'm looking at the Mac Mini, HOWEVER, I would like to know from Mini users, why pick a desktop that don't have upgradeability or repairability? 3 10 replies
Sequoia Spotlight Spectacle (can't find files) My Spotlight search has been kinda screwed since Sequoia... I can't use it to find files even though they're on in Settings. I've rebuilt the database multiple times, even doing it through Settings and the Terminal and nothing's working... this extends to Siri as well, who can't find files at all and resorts to searching the web :/ Anyone else with this issue? Any clue how to fix it? Thanks in advance :\] 1 2 replies
What notetakers / information managers support Spotlight ? I used to keep all of my notes in Onenote. Still do for work. But I switched my personal laptop to Mac a couple years ago, and the lack of Spotlight support made it unusable for me - I hate running search twice, especially on my phone. I have been using Apple Notes, but it sucks for long term notes. No version history, no export. I did try Exporter from the Mac store but it fails to export PDF attachments. Is there any other similar app that meets these... 3 1 replies
YouTube & other streaming videos not working on Safari Hi y'all! I just got my Mac Mini M4 base 16/512 last week and I'm still on the learning curve about Sequoia macOS 15.2 as this is my first mac ever. I'm just wondering if any of you also experience lagging and/or not continuing the Youtube video when you try to open it from Safari directly? I mean, I have to open my Google account and select the youtube app from their applications grid to watch youtube videos without hassle. Also Netflix & OSN plus (here in Oman) when... 5 0 replies
Safari keeps opening a website When I'm using Safari, a specific website (for me, its a Notion page that I frequenlty visited) randomly opens in a new tab. It’s always this specific website (Notion Page). This happened like every hour or so. This notion page is not in my favorites or bookmarks. It's like someone clicked the link and safari open the website but I didn't touch my keyboard or trackpad at all. For example, if I’m watching Netflix in full screen, Safari exits full screen and opens this website out of nowhere. Anyone... 14 0 replies
Disappearing Icons in Finder Since upgrading to MacOS 15.2 I have a problem in the Finder. Whenever I browse through my Files, some of the Icons disappear and reappear. It looks like they are "dancing". I attached a picture where two of the folder icons are gone. They don't stay like that but instead reappear and disappear again randomly. Does anyone have the same problem or even found a solution to this? Also, when saving a File I sometimes click another file to get it's exact name and then change the format. For... 8 0 replies
