How to Get Rid of .docx When Saving a Word Document? On my new MacBook Pro 2024 (M4), the extension ".docx" shows up automatically when trying to name a new Word document (see photo). Is there a way to get rid of this? I have already turned off the "show file extensions" setting in both Word and Finder, but it's still doing this. My old MacBook Pro 2017 never did this, so it's annoying me a lot having to delete it every time now. https://preview.redd.it/q1nvh8h6357e1.png?width=1586&format=png&auto=webp&s=5702463103b129a76dbbccc1a1e7f3e5b9be16e5 4 0 replies
Uninstalling apps, appcleaner, still have questions! I am looking to remove Logi Options+, and on the one hand I get it's (usually) no big deal to just have some random orphan files hang around, but still want to understand. The Applications folder only has the one Logi Options+ app, but appcleaner sees both a logi options+ as well as the pluginservice - where is this "app"? If I just Trashed the main app, would this just linger around? Clicking on the logipluginservice lists one file, the LogPluginService.app at 555mb... going to reveal it in finder... 4 0 replies

💨 Click2Minimize - Instant Fix to Mac Dock Click-to-Minimize Hassle! 💨 I created the Click2Minimize as an upgrade of the free click2hide app with carefully polished code to have removed performance impact presented in the free app, found the proper way to trigger minimize, and gone all the way to get it notarized by Apple. It works so well that I actually recorded the demo video from a 10-year-old mac in case you wonder the video resolution.

Homebrew completions not working in bash? I'm not sure why my brew commands are not autocompleting, despite having followed the proper steps and trying numerous fixes I found. When I try to type part of a command and complete it as such: `$ brew ins<TAB>` Instead of completing it as expected, `$ brew install` I get the error `-bash: _brew: command not found` which is displayed right after what I had just typed like this: `$ brew in-bash: _brew: command not found` I have the following (brew related) lines in my `.bash_profile` (as in the... 3 0 replies
Safari: Can’t Navigate Favorites with Arrow Keys After Cmd + L Hi everyone, I use Safari on macOS, and I often press Cmd + L to quickly focus on the address bar. However, I’d like to navigate through my **Favorites**(the icons that appear under the address bar) using the **arrow keys** or any other keyboard shortcut—but it seems I can’t do that. Here’s a screenshot for context: https://preview.redd.it/fd8lag0mc47e1.png?width=1145&format=png&auto=webp&s=5111db98a9410f4f480edf30a06f8654ba708ae9 Does anyone know if there’s a way to enable this behavior or perhaps a keyboard-friendly workaround? I want to avoid using the trackpad or mouse as much as possible. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!... 5 0 replies

Bookmarks Sync (MacOS & Windows) I'm a Mac user at home, with a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone, so I love the simplicity and security of Safari. I manage all my bookmarks across my Apple ecosystem. However, at work I have a Windows computer provided by my employer, which as we know doesn't support Safari and I have to use Chrome or Edge (I don't like them). What tools are there or what advice would you give me to manage all my bookmarks across systems? 3 0 replies
Files saved to external SSD show as also taking space on internal storage ??? So I have the base M4 Mac Mini and have just setup an external nvme with my home folder on it.

Zoom in when composing a new email in the mail app? So, is there a way to zoom in when creating a new mail in the apple mail app? This is for zooming in, NOT increasing the font size used when sending out the email. I have a semi large monitor and not the best eyesight even with glasses. The standard command and + doesn't work. Nor does shift + command and +. Setting high DPI is not an option for me as it messes up another application that I use, and it seems ridiculous to need to set high... 3 0 replies
Booting an M1 MacBook to an External SSD? I'm very reluctantly updating my M1 Max MacBook Pro to Sonoma from Monterey. As a videographer and photographer, I need to be running the latest versions of the Adobe CC apps. The list of apps that no longer support my old OS is growing, so I can't drag my feet much longer. In the past when I've done updated my macOS, I've created an external boot drive to troubleshoot the new OS. I would like to do this with Sonoma but understand it's problematic with the Silicon Macs. I've... 3 0 replies

Is it possible to extend windows all the way down but still keeping the dock visible? I already decreased the size of the dock but still too much unused screen space and I couldn´t find any third party apps.

How to minimize/hide windows to access desktop without excluding them from mission control As a previous Windows 11 user, I was accustomed to using the desktop as my primary "window" where I kept all the files which recently use or need to acess frequently. On macOS, when I use the gesture to view the desktop, it seems to be only a quick peek. As soon as I click anywhere, all the windows come back, making it difficult to work on the desktop. I tried shortcuts to hide or minimize all windows, but in both cases, said windows won´t show up in the... 5 0 replies
