Shortcut to login to website using JavaScript Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:02 AM PDT Trying to make a shortcut on Apple iPhone to login to website using JavaScript in the shortcut. The html of the login page is: <div class="loginFormContainer"> <div class="col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1 col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-0 col-md-5 col-lg-4 loginPanel"> <div id="loginFormContainer" class="col-sm-offset-1"> <form id="loginForm" action="/processWebLogin" method="POST" autocomplete="off"> <div class="form-group"> <label for="username">User ID</label> <input id="username" name="username" type="text" autocomplete="off" class="form-control loginInput" placeholder="Your User ID" value=""> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="password">Web Login Password</label> <input id="password" name="password" type="password" autocomplete="off" class="form-control loginInput" placeholder="Your Password"> </div> <div class="topBottomMargin text-right"> <button class="btn btn-sm btn-orange-wft" title="Sign In">Sign In</button> </div> <input type="hidden" name="CSRFToken" value="4e458174-202b-4ea8-a625-3fc358a0b77a"> </form> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1 col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-0 col-md-6 col-lg-5 logoutPanel"> <div class="clearfix col-sm-offset-1"> </div> </div> </div> Unable to trigger click or find submit button with only a ".title" not ".Id" The following is the JavaScript I'm using in the shortcut: var result = []; var emailTextBox = document.getElementById("username"); emailTextBox.value = "myUserName"; var pwTextBox = document.getElementById("password"); pwTextBox.value = "myPassword"; var submitBtn = document.getElementById("Sign In").title; submitBtn.click(); // Call completion to finish completion(result);

MBP 16 becomes slow after a while when connected to external monitor Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:45 AM PDT I've noticed recently that my 2019 MBP 16' (running latest version of Big Sur) becomes very slow and sluggish after being connected to an external monitor for a certain amount of time (the time varies, sometimes it's 1 hour, 2 hours, 30 mins, etc). For some reason CPU usage goes to 80-90% across all cores when this happens, although the temperature remains steady at ~60C (so I don't think it's CPU throttling or anything like that). Opening Activity Monitor shows that kernel_task consumes most of that CPU, which I understand it to be part of the OS, although I don't know why it suddenly spikes. I've monitored GPU temps when this happens, and they also seem to be somewhere in the 60s C most of the time. I don't think that's hot enough for throttling, although I don't know for sure. The issue persists whether I use an USB-C to HDMI dock, or a USB-C to DP cable. Disconnecting the external monitor for a few minutes resolves the issue, but it inevitably happens again once I reconnect it. I've tried a few things like resetting the SMC (at least I think I have; the OS gives you no confirmation), or connected the power cable and monitor on different sides, but to no avail. Any solutions to this problem? I'm using a Dell monitor, in case that matters.

Where is the account picture stored? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:05 AM PDT I've looked a lot to find out where a user's account picture is stored in macOS. So exactly the path to be able to access it with the Finder. I haven't found a way to get the path anywhere. The only thing I've found is how to extract it as an address. But that is exactly the problem where is this address? dscl . -read /Users/$(stat -f %Su) JPEGPhoto You can extract it like this: dscl . -read /Users/$(stat -f %Su) JPEGPhoto |xxd -r -p > ~/Kontobild.jpg Any ideas where it could be stored? Thank you in advance UPDATE: I managed to find this file and will also tell you where it is. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do with this on the Internet. /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/$(stat -f %Su).plist Under JPEGPHOTO you can see this address:

How long dose it normally take for the iCloud drive to set its self up? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:29 AM PDT I've been waiting for my outdated MacBook (early 2009 model) to finish 'setting up iCloud Drive.'

How to disable "Restored Session" message from appearing every time I run Terminal? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:07 AM PDT Every time I run terminal on macOS BigSur I see a message like this: [Restored 10 Jun 2021 at 12:18:19] Restored session: Thu Jun 10 12:18:16 WEST 2021 I want the sessions to be restored. I don't want to see this message thousands of times? thanks

Automator Batch rename (Irregular names!) [closed] Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:44 AM PDT Please, I need help to incorporate an Applescript that allows me to remove all characters before the underscore ( _ ) (including first ( _ ). The files have several ( _ ), but I only want to remove the text before the first one. However, the number of characters varies from file to file. It is not always four... The issue is that I need the Script to keep the rest of the name intact, regardless of what it is. I need a Script that supports different text below. Example: I have this item: "LPLLORMF_1023_PM_48_24_25" I need to remove the first part of the name (in this case "LPLLORMF_") Result: "1023_PM_48_24_25" The second part (1023_PM_48_24_25" in this case) wont always be the same, I mean that I would like to mantain this part whatever it may be. It could be "1433_PM_58_25_22" or "1483_FM_51_15_02" This script correctly removes the first part of the name. However, it does not respect the original name of the second part of the name (it always uses "1023_PM_48_24_25"). set oriFilename to "LPLLORMF_1023_PM_48_24_25" set newFilename to ¬ characters ((offset of "_" in oriFilename) + 1) thru -1 of ¬ oriFilename as string The second question is how to get the Script to batch rename multiple files once the first part of the text is removed.

Why does invitations sent from Apple software to users with GMail- or Hotmail-based Apple ID:s get mangled? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 06:18 AM PDT Problem: I have two friends that regularly send me calendar invitations. When these invitations arrive, the from-address is changed to noreply@email.apple.com. Confirming these invitations doesn't work, probably because the confirmation is sent to noreply@email.apple.com rather than my friends' addresses. Premises: I have a GMail-address abc@gmail.com I have an Apple-ID based on a GMail-address. The main address for my Apple-ID is abc+apple.com@gmail.com but abc@gmail.com is also registered with the same Apple-ID. My friends use iOS-devices, one with a GMail-address friend1@gmail.com, one with a Hotmail-address, friend2@hotmail.com. When my friends use either the built in iOS or MacOS calender and invite abc@gmail.com I receive an invitation with noreply@email.apple.com as sender sent to abc+apple.com@gmail.com. It should be friend1@gmail.com or friend2@hotmail.com as sender and abc@gmail.com as receiver. Solution: it seems that using https://apps.apple.com/app/google-calendar-get-organised/id909319292 on iOS or https://calendar.google.com/ (or the corresponding calender for Hotmail) for desktop works better. I haven't done extensive experimenting but so far it has worked. Comments describing your experience are very welcome.

Make iPad Pro Screen Bigger with External Monitor? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 08:21 AM PDT If I display my iPad on an external monitor, does it just mirror the iPad screen, or can I actually get more content? I have a work iPad that I would like to use as a desktop, with the goal of displaying significantly more information than I can display on the 10" screen.

"Invalid Email address" error when attempting to change account password on iPhond and iPad Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:44 AM PDT I use Gmail. Recently I received an e-mail from Google informing me that my account may have been compromised. I verified this by logging into Google itself where I got the same message: that they had recently blocked an attempt to sign in. The problem is, when examining the login history, it just stated "unknown device" - and did not reveal any IP address. I had no way of telling whether it was actually one of my own devices, or someone else who was attempting to access my account. I decided to play it safe and change my Google password anyway. So far so good. However, when attempting to change it on my iPhone I encountered a problem. When I tapped "Done", I got a pop-up message **"Invalid Email addres"** Please enter a valid email address for this account. I was unable to save the new password. My e-mail address had not been changed: the only thing I wanted to do was change the password recorded on the account settings. Suspecting that it might be an issue with my iPhone, I tried it on my iPad - with exactly the same result. The strange thing is that when I typed in my OLD password, it worked (i.e it allowed me to save the settings screen: it did not allow access to mail, because it was the wrong password). Does anyone know what's going on? Unfortunately I can't include a screenshot from my devices, because I'm unable to e-mail them to myself because of this error. Right now I'm stuck with no access to e-mail on my Apple devices. Grateful for any insights. Google won't let me revert to my old password because I used it too recently.

a subtle software problem that I cannot isolate that affects the keyboard of my MacBook Pro, 2015 retina with High Sierra Posted: 10 Jun 2021 04:21 AM PDT I recently upgraded my MBP 2015 Retina from 512GB to 2TB using an OWC Aura Pro X2. I was planning to take it in for service as the battery needed changing, and some of the "butterfly" keyboard keys were intermittent. The first few days with the new drive were fine, and I finally got all my data on one drive instead of a collection of outborad drives, and I began to install many games & emulators. Then my keyboard malfunctioned: some keys not working, others producing logic irreularities -- press i and nothing appears but previously entered text is highlighted, press l and it prints 3, and more like these. However external bluetooth and USB keyboards work fine. I brought it to Apple who claimed the drive did not boot although it clearly had been doing so, even when the Apple Store intake Genius booted it to try the keys. They insisted the drive had corrupted the logic board and our $199 repair (top plate, battery, keyboard) became $999 now including a new logic board and replacement 512GB drive. I will not linger over this incident except to note I had to threaten legal action to get my 2TB drive back. I run High Sierra for the many legacy applications I use, and had specified that. Of course they returned it with Catalina. I replaced their drive with the OWC 2TB drive and it booted correctly but the keyboard problem returned. I brought it to a repair shop and they said it was not the drive, perhaps the OS was corrupted, wiped the drive, reinstalled High Sierra, creating an admin user in the process. The problem seemed gone. When I got home I restored from Time Machine. My data, apps, preferences, etc all good. Then I found the problem returned. I thought to try the Admin user login and -- no problem. I went through every system preference removing anything that might have an effect, and deleted my login startup items. I ran Malware. I still have the problem; the admin login does not. I shut down and safe-booted and I still have the probem. The same Time Machine restore was applied to a refurb Mac Mini I just purchased and no problems have occurred on that machine. What I now know: the 2TB drive works fine, the High Sierra install is fine. Something is affecting only my login and it happens immediately. As soon as I reboot and login I'll open TextEdit and test but no other apps are or have been opened, yet the problem occurs. I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions for how to isolate the culprit are very welcome.

How to resolve black screen on WhatsApp for macOS? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 04:32 AM PDT I have tried re-installing the app (deleting it and downloading a new file), but I still get the following screen on macOS 11.3 (Big Sur): Anyone else getting this same issue, and how to resolve?

help restoring MojaveLlibrary Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:47 AM PDT My wife's MBA (2012) bricked after upgrading to Catalina. We took it to a repair shop who said no problem, they would back up the data, reformat, and reinstall Mojave, then restore the data. What arrived was butchery: drive in two equal partitions instead of one, an Admin user named user, the data "restored" by copying it to a folder beneath the Admin user, and only her home directory contents but no applicatioms including those purchased over the years. I won't bother telling their explanation of how this would be usable. I made a new user with her name and admin rights, copied over her files, and ran into permissions issues. I then copied her files to a new backup drive and using the command-R startup option reformatted, made a single partition, reinstalled Mojave, created a user with her name, and then copied her files to the drive. The library is the problem. I copied in everything from her library, replacing library folders from the just-completed Mojave install with her's. The result is not great. None of her mail accounts, mail, passwords, contacts, etc appear to work. Yes, now she believes me about the importance of backups. EDIT: I just realized I copied her Library files to the system library where they are apparently not a problem, and that her new Library folder is in her user directory but hidden. I've made it visible and need to replace it or merge it with her original user library folder. The data is there -- her mail, etc is on the drive but the applications do not see it. What do I need to do to make her library data usuable? Any help with this is greatly appreciated

After using a Bluetooth speaker: Macbook headphone audiojack is inserted, but the built-in speakers keep working instead Posted: 10 Jun 2021 03:06 AM PDT When I insert the headphone jack in my 2015 Macbook, the built-in speakers keep working and no audio is coming from my headphones. I checked the headphones on other devices and it still works. This problem occurred after using a Bluetooth audio device. What steps should I take to fix this problem.

Applescript System Preferences automation Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:05 AM PDT I'm working on automating setting system preferences, but I have a problem. This code should select Wi-Fi tab but scroll area 1 does not exist unless I click any element that belongs to scroll area manually. I tried emulating click with many external programs but even then I can't access scroll area tell application "System Preferences" activate reveal pane id "com.apple.preference.dock" end tell tell application "System Events" to tell application process "System Preferences" delay 1 tell scroll area 1 of window 1 select row 3 of outline 1 end tell end tell Is there any other way to change Dock & Menu Bar settings or just to access scroll area items? Edit: The end goal is to hide Wi-Fi icon from menu bar.

Applescript to copy/sync dropped folders to a destination folder Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:19 AM PDT Hello using Applescript on Macos I want to copy/sync dropped folders (onto the applescript app) to a predefined destination folder. I have this script I've written, but it's not working: on open theFiles tell application "Finder" set destFolder to "/Users/Username/Desktop/My Files" do shell script "/usr/bin/rsync -a 'theFiles' 'destFolder' " end tell end open Can anyone please help fix my script to work? Thanks much!

Word/Mac mouse or key combos to efficiently restructure a file working with the document map? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:00 AM PDT [[Note: This post has been retitled and rewritten. For those not familiar with it, the document map lets you see the Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. outline of your file next to the detailed manuscript.]] Question What Word PC features of the document map (aka navigation pane) are also available with the Mac to make it easy to restructure a document using the mouse or key combinations while working in the document map? Background I am trying mightily to help someone, long-distance, who owns a Mac (I do not) to work as productively as they can while completing their PhD. I honestly tried to find the answer to this question by searching at MS support, for Youtube videos, for topics in Lynda.com, and using Google searches. I found nothing, which may suggest that restructuring/reorganizing a document must be done by retyping heading levels and using cut-paste; it cannot be done as easily as with the PC; i.e. by using drag-and-drop to move entire chapters or sections, or by right clicking to add/delete/change heading levels, or by using certain key combos. However, I am humble enough to know that my search techniques may have been faulty due to a lack of Mac "language" and no access to a Mac so that I could just experiment. , so I do not want to assume that the Word/Mac document map is limited to "see me."

MacOS missing after using EaseUS partition on Bootcamp Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:07 AM PDT I used EaseUS partition on bootcamp in order to resize the storage on my Windows OS.

Upgrading early 2015 Macbook pro from Mojave to Catalina/Big Sur? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:00 AM PDT I have an early 2015 Macbook pro with 8GB RAM and i7 dual core processor. It runs Mojave smoothly, and I haven't upgraded to Catalina nor Big Sur. I read that Catalina won't slow things down compared to Catalina, but what about Big Sur?

How to remove new line from Terminal on launch? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:04 AM PDT When I launch terminal, it always puts a new line at the beginning first. I am using zsh and did install ohmyzsh, but I can't seem to find anything that would cause this behaviour. Please see attached screenshot. Using powerlevel10k theme. I checked .bashrc, .zshrc, and every other profile I can think of but can't figure it out. New tab and pressed return UPDATE 2: .zshrc BAD CONTENT IDENTIFIED # Colorise the top Tabs of Iterm2 with the same color as background # Just change the 18/26/33 wich are the rgb values echo -e "\033]6;1;bg;red;brightness;18\a" echo -e "\033]6;1;bg;green;brightness;26\a" echo -e "\033]6;1;bg;blue;brightness;33\a" I don't know why these echo commands are causing that behavior, but when I comment out each one, the "new line" is less and less" until I have commented out all three. I got the commands from this medium.com post but it's only supposed to change the tab color. I have removed them now, but tabs are blah. Better than the line spacing.

Charging problems, MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) c Posted: 10 Jun 2021 06:10 AM PDT I have the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and I've been having weird charging issues (I recently upgraded to macOS Big Sur if thats relevant). When I connect the charger it won't always charge, and when I press the battery symbol it only says "not charging". One of the ports never works, but the other works after its been plugged in for a little while. The battery still drains when the charger is connected but not charging. I've tried resetting SMC, troubleshooting/diagnostic scan shows nothing wrong, the ports and the charger looks undamaged... The battery works completely fine as far as I know other than this, this is a recent issue.

What is this icon in Apple Watch Control Center? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:53 AM PDT I noticed this icon in Control Center on my Apple Watch recently and didn't recognize it. It's not listed on Apple's support pages about Control Center (a b). UPDATE: This page now includes this icon. (bottom left)

How can I select a single photo form a photo burst using Photos.app on MacOS Catalina? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 03:03 AM PDT I have a few photo bursts in Photos.app version 5 (MacOS Catalina), and Photos.app identifies them as bursts, but I cannot find any tool in the interface to select one picture in the burst or even to view them all. I don't remember if the bursts were taken with my iPhone or with a Sony a6000, and surprisingly, it does not tell in the info of the photos. UPDATE: Also, there is no Make Selection... button when I open the photo burst that appears, as was suggested in an answer below, or as I have seen in some tutorials. I don't know if this is caused my something particular with my pictures or if Photos.app version 5 is different.

How to reopen the Google Drive icon? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:10 AM PDT Sometimes the icon of Google Drive, on the top menu, disappears. This really annoys me also because this is happening always more frequently (and I don't want to go to the web browser and search for Google Drive, etc. I don't know how to solve this unless I restart the mac, but this is also annoying and undesirable. So, is there a way of making that icon reappear, i.e. restart Google Drive's client on the mac, in case it dies?

Mac OS: Bluetooth headphones lose sound but not connection Posted: 10 Jun 2021 04:08 AM PDT When I connect a bluetooth headset (I have this with several headsets) it connects fine and sound goes over the headset. But after a certain time (sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes half a minute) the headphones lose sound. The headset stays connected an still appear when I check my bluetooth settings. Reselecting the headset in 'Sound' settings doesn't change a thing. When I turn them off and on again then it will work for a certain time again. Restarting doesn't change a thing and the following fix that I found for other problems also doesn't fix it: sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Troubleshooting DNS Posted: 10 Jun 2021 09:54 AM PDT I'm having a weird problem where the system-wide DNS resolution doesn't work, but I don't know how I could fix that, or even find a log (coming from Linux). I manually configured 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers in the GUI, which seems to have taken: $ scutil --dns DNS configuration resolver #1 search domain[0] : Home nameserver[0] : 8.8.8.8 nameserver[1] : 8.8.4.4 flags : Request A records reach : Reachable DNS configuration (for scoped queries) resolver #1 search domain[0] : Home nameserver[0] : 8.8.8.8 nameserver[1] : 8.8.4.4 if_index : 4 (en0) flags : Scoped, Request A records reach : Reachable However when the system tries to resolve a name it fails with a timeout, only some software i.e. Chrome which doesn't use the system resolver is not affected: $ ping google.com ping: cannot resolve google.com: Unknown host $ scutil -r google.com Not Reachable They can be queried manually: $ nslookup google.com Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.com Address: 2.127.237.183 ... $ dig google.com google.com. 50 IN A 2.127.237.183 ;; Query time: 226 msec ;; SERVER: 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8) And the results are valid: $ ping 2.127.237.183 64 bytes from 2.127.237.183: icmp_seq=0 ttl=60 time=37.086 ms $ scutil -r 2.127.237.183 Reachable My hosts file doesn't contain anything surprising: $ cat /etc/hosts ## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting.

Unlike on Linux, dig/nslookup don't appear to use the system resolver all the other apps/services are using. Is there a tool that uses the system resolver and has some options to tell me what's wrong?

Changing text applied when duplicating file in Finder Posted: 10 Jun 2021 08:25 AM PDT When duplicating files in the finder, OS X attaches a space followed by 'copy' to the file name. This can lead to some file alphabetizing problems and the copies may appear out of order (not directly subsequent to the original). Is there a way to change the appended text? I would prefer that it says '_1' or _copy. Thanks.

How to change desktop wallpaper for all virtual desktops? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:32 AM PDT I have six virtual desktops and want to change a desktop wallpaper for all of them at once. There is no such option when using System Preferences, so I have to change a wallpaper only for one desktop and repeat this six times. Is there any way for process automation?

How do I change desktop background with a terminal command? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 05:35 AM PDT I trying to add to my OS X configuration script a command which sets the background to the plain dark grey, however, when applied, it only sets it to the main monitor and any additional monitors currently connected keep their current background and any added thereafter still receive the default space background. What I have so far is as follows: # Change Desktop default BackgroundColor to grey defaults write com.apple.desktop '{ Background = { default = {BackgroundColor = ( "0.2549019753932953", "0.4117647111415863", "0.6666666865348816" ); Change = Never; ChangePath = "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors"; ChangeTime = 1800; DrawBackgroundColor = 1; ImageFileAlias = <00000000 00ce0003 00000000 c73804cd 0000482b 00000000 000c2624 000c2633 0000ca1c 0a310000 00000920 fffe0000 00000000 0000ffff ffff0001 000c000c 2624000c 25fc000a 0789000e 00280013 0053006f 006c0069 00640020 00470072 00610079 00200044 00610072 006b002e 0070006e 0067000f 000c0005 006f0073 00780038 00360012 00394c69 62726172 792f4465 736b746f 70205069 63747572 65732f53 6f6c6964 20436f6c 6f72732f 536f6c69 64204772 61792044 61726b2e 706e6700 00130001 2f00ffff 0000>; ImageFilePath = "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors/Solid Gray Dark.png"; NewChangePath = "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors"; NewImageFilePath = "/Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors/Solid Gray Dark.png"; NoImage = 0; Placement = Crop; Random = 0; }; }; }' How do I set the default the the dark grey background via a terminal command? How do I change all monitors already configured to grey via a terminal command?
