ApplePay no longer works on macOS This has been my situation for the past few months. It makes it through "processing" but never asks for the TouchID fingerprint step and just sits there doing nothing. TouchID works to unlock the computer and for anything else that the OS asks for which uses fingerprint recognition. Just not ApplePay.

using ssd mac os bootable drive to test logic, mac os sequoia, and plugins? since some plugins may not be able to be installed on more than one drive location due to licensing, some have been able to test out mac os sequoia and logic prior to downloading it to their computers. do you have to download plugins to the bootable drive? i don’t think you should have to move logic pro to bootable drive? can you just use everything as is without moving logic and plugins and use bootable drive as a computer as normal and most plugins work? thinking 100 gb... 2 0 replies
USB microphone security Hey guys, I have a MacBook Air and I bought a Boya Boyalink microphone. I found out after a while that the microphone is from a Chinese brand. Do you think it is safe to connect the microphone to my Mac? I’m a bit paranoid about security of my devices. Anyway I have connected it before I found out it was a Chinese mic, so potential damage has already been done. Thank you! 3 0 replies
Best way to back up and restore data on a managed MacBook? My MacBook Air is owned and managed by my employer. Because of a system error, the machine needs to be reimaged. (That’s the word IT uses.) Multiple Mac users in this IT department have told me that reinstalling through Time Machine creates problems on a managed Mac on this system, though I could still create a Time Machine backup. They intend to restore my files with OneDrive. I don’t have an iCloud account, though I think I could create and use one. There are four things that I would... 2 0 replies

Mac mini M1 Sleeping with "Prevent automatic sleeping" Turned On I updated to 15.2 yesterday (yes, I usually wait a week or so... facepalm). Since then, when I walk away and come back a while later the system requires an actual press on the power/Touch ID button (Magic Keyboard) to wake it up. Also, all my SSH sessions and remote mounts have dropped. The wake time is also a second or two when, before yesterday, it was almost instantaneous. I also just had to touch the Touch ID key to unlock the screen instead of the full keypress after... 1 0 replies

Can not factory reset? Starting with an apology, as I’m not very good with this stuff. I’m getting rid of my Mac (my info says it is an iMac 21.5” and version macOS14.6.1) and trying to factory reset it, but it doesn’t seem to work. It gives me a message that the erase assistant does not work on this model. When following instructions to open disk utility on startup, it does not show me “Macintosh HD”. Instead, it shows “macOS base system”, and the “erase” button is lower opacity and does nothing when... 4 0 replies

Giving an application file access before it asks TL;DR - Is there a way to let an application access my Documents folder before it asks for that permission? Google isn’t being helpful for answering this. TL - I’m trying to play Myst III: Exile on my M1 MacBook Pro. The previous two Myst games asked for Documents access before it could save the game, so I expected the same of Exile, and it does ask. It also does something fun when it asks - it locks the keyboard and mouse so it’s impossible to move the cursor... 4 0 replies
