Macports on M1 Mac? Anyone have problems building with macports on an M1 mac recently? I had no problems for the last couple years, since I got my M1 MacAir. Recently I was doing an update and macports failed with an error. I then did a full reinstall of macports, nuking all my previously compiled macports apps. That's when sh!t hit the fan. % sudo port install rsync Password: ---> Computing dependencies for rsync The following dependencies will be installed: autoconf lz4 m4 popt xxhashlib zstd Continue?

38“ Monitor 3440x1440p with Mac M2 Hello everybody I am using a 27“ 16:9 @1440p IPS monitor at the moment and want to upgrade to wider screen with aspect ratio of 21:9 @3440x1440p AND OLED. I use the monitor for mixed use Mac OS and PC Gaming. I read a lot that mac os works best with 220 ppu or 110p as UI elements are designed with these ppi in mind. and resolution scaling works always to 5k and back to target resolution, e.g. 1440p As of today, I am quite happy with font clarity... 1 0 replies
Auto Tiling Window Manager With Snap Style Layouts I have been using a Mac as my work computer for some time, and I haven't been able to find a tiling window manager that lets you set up snap-style spaces on your desktop to be utilized when new windows are opened. Although I have tried AeroSpace, Amethyst, and Rectangle, which all perform reasonably well on smaller screens, configuring them for an ultra-wide 49" display has proven challenging. For instance, when I have only a browser and NVIM open, I prefer not to automatically scale them to take up... 5 0 replies
How to automatically create individually documents? Hey guys, i have a list in numbers with many names (100+) and I have to write for each of these people a certificate with the same text (pages). So I have to create 100+ documents (one for each member). Sure I could simply use copy and paste, but this would take many time. Is there any way I can just select these names and automatically create these documents with changing names? I appreciate any ideas or other useful programs. Greetings 5 0 replies
I kind like Stage Master or whatever it's called. It's not a bad idea. The cool thing is that the windows are live so you can have a video playing in one, and keep an eye on a chat in the other, in the corner of your eye. And it's easy to flip through them. I didn't like it at first, but I don't think I understood how it worked. Now I do, I actually thing it's a very worthy added feature. I hope they make it so you can use the dock's magnification effect, so you can... 4 0 replies

upgrading to Sequoia caused the dock, wallpaper, and screensaver to stop when waking from sleep until something triggers after five to ten minutes unless I restart. upgrading to Sequoia caused the dock, wallpaper, and screensaver to stop when waking from sleep until something triggers after five to ten minutes unless I restart. it's driving me bananas.

Wifi AP change fails Hi, I've had problems with connecting to new WiFi routers when moving around since the Sequoia update. Every time I move to a new router (known), internet stops working. Sometimes it just takes about 15mins to fix itself, sometimes I reboot and internet works instantly. Anybody else having same kind of problems? What should I check? 2 0 replies
macbook m1 max - Sequoia ruined the whole experience My MacBook feels like it aged 5 years after updating to Sequoia (15.1.1). It’s honestly unbelievable what a difference one update made: \- Sluggish system performance (opening/switching windows) \- Laggy scrolling in both Chrome and Safari \- Significantly worse battery life The performance hit is so bad, it makes me want to punch Tim in the face. 2 0 replies

How to open mxf files on mac? Hey everyone, I’m working with a bunch of raw footage in .mxf format (shot on a Canon C300 Mark II) and really need a way to quickly preview these files in Finder using Quick Look (just by hitting spacebar). I’m on macOS Monterey, and so far Finder just shows a generic icon for the files without any preview or playback functionality. I tried using VLC for playback, which works fine for viewing the footage, but it’s not ideal since I have to open each file individually. I also looked... 1 0 replies

How can I drag and drop a file from one fullscreen window to another? New to mac and still figuring out basic workflows: For instance, dragging a file from desktop to a browser window into a upload-zone, or an attachment to my email, or an audio file into my workstation. Coming from windows 11, I just drag the file onto the icon in the dock and it opens the window. Is there a third party app for this behaviour or do you use different workflows? Thanks for any input. 1 0 replies

Siri Location Issue - Sequoia 15.2 I recently updated to MacOS Sequoia 15.2 and I asked AI Siri what the weather forecast was for the next day just to test it out. It came back with the text reply, "I don't seem to be able to get your current location." I have checked and have location services on for almost everything including weather (which is working just fine) and for Siri as well. Is there any way to fix this problem? Siri isn't much help if it doesn't know where I am. Thanks. 4 0 replies
Find My Mac / Location Problem setting up a new Mac Mini M4. I am unable to get my location on the Mac itself. It didn't get the correct time zone for example. Location services are all on (toggled on/off many times). iCloud connected/disconnected. Find My and Find My Mac toggled on/off. Restarted many times. It looks like the Mac location is tied somehow to my location (which it can't locate - i have never turned on show my location on any device). Find My on my iPhone and my Macbook shows the Mini's location... 4 0 replies
