Searchlight finds apps/settings/Siri/calculator...nothing else, but Finder does. Anyone have a fail-safe solution? Like title says (and image below shows). MBA M2 running Sequoia 15.1.1 (24B91), and I've seen it's a huge problem across the internet. Deleted the Spotlight index a dozen times in various ways through Terminal and hiding/unhiding docs and my HDD...to no avail.

Should I try MacOS? I have been using Arch linux for the last few years, I'm tired of it, I just want something that works, and does the job, while it looking good by default (as I don't like configuring things). I also want most of the things to be open-source, and I am not buying a MacBook or anything related to Apple, as I don't really want to get into the *ecosystem*. I think Mac is a great choice, even tough is not open-source, I don't know, what do you guys think?... 1 0 replies

Updating MacOS through recovery On a M1 Mac, if I go into recovery mode and choose the reinstall macOS option, does it reinstall the same version as I have now or does it update to the latest build? Apple support page says “On a Mac with Apple silicon, Recovery installs the current version of the most recently installed macOS.” .. but I’m getting confused between “current version” and “most recently installed”. Today, If I’m on 15.1, will it (re)install 15.1 or 15.2? Is it possible to do a “full” (non-OTA) MacOS update without... 2 0 replies
Question on BetterDisplay utility (hardware: mac mini m4) For some weird reason my 4K 60hz TV (using as monitor) always shows up on my Mac Mini m4 as being able to only do 4K@30 (not 4K@60). Its not the cable since my Dell laptop correctly sets the ext.mon to 4K60. I installed BetterDisplay on the mac and able to change refresh rate to 60hz … but that resets to 30Hz when I reboot. Is there a way to make it remember settings between reboot? 4 0 replies

2015 IMac needs a new backup drive After a great long run my 2TB external drive (Seagate) won’t mount. I’m thinking I need to replace it. Looking at Crucial X9 pro and will have to use an Anker adapter USB A to C. I’m dreading this. There are always pitfalls. My Mac is fine but looking to replace early next year so I need to back up. I’m at about .6 TB of 2 TB available and have a lot of very old files from prior migrations (I’ve always just used Time Machine). What should I... 2 0 replies
Can I save my own movie files to my icloud? I've got a big hard drive of movies that I want to move into my icloud storage so I don't have to keep plugging in my external hd. Everytime I move the files to my icloud folder it saves to my mac's HD. From my understanding icloud isn't exactly an external cloud storage. It just backs up data that comes from your mac (not sure if I explained that correctly). So, is it not possible to move all my movie files into my icloud acount? Again, I think it... 2 0 replies
