| Weird Safari Search Bar Issues Posted: 10 Oct 2021 11:13 PM PDT Say for instance that I'm typing out a statement to search and I want to add addition words in the middle of that statement. The search bar would let me type the first letter and then the rest of the new word I would type would end up at the end of the statement instead of letting my continue type at my new insertion point in the middle. It only does this with Safari.  | ||||||||||||
| How can I install a Termux-like terminal app for iOS? Posted: 10 Oct 2021 11:51 PM PDT I would like an equivalent to Termux on iOS. It should in some way emulate a Linux command line with a full range of installable packages like apt and ideally even run Linux (as with Andronix), and be about as fast as the phone's hardware normally allows. There is iSH but for some reason I find it quite slow, I don't know if it's built in some fundamentally different way than Termux. Is there a good option for this (willing to jailbreak if necessary)?  | ||||||||||||

| 50% of all websites suddenly stopped working on my Mac Posted: 10 Oct 2021 10:36 AM PDT Today I restarted my Mac (macOS Catalina 10.15.4) and found that around half of all websites are not working. How can I debug this further or even fix it? SituationHere is a short list of a few websites that are (not) working. I am not really seeing any pattern.

| Want to remove filevault prompt on shutdown/reboot Posted: 10 Oct 2021 02:55 PM PDT Whenever I'm logged in as a certain user and trigger a shutdown or restart, I get prompted to enable filevault. I have searched everywhere to find the hook that causes this prompt, but I can't find it. I've searched all the LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgent directories I can find. I've reviewed the output of launchctl find. I've done other things in the past as well but I don't remember them all. I have upgraded my computer and transfered my user account multiple times since this started happening. It seems to stick to my user account. I believe this might have come from Symantec Endpoint Encryption that installed from my employer many years ago. But I've also tried all the uninstaller techniques I can find for that. It appears after all the desktop stuff has gone away. Any ideas for where else I can look for a hook that might trigger this? Update: FileVault is not currently enabled on the disk and I do not want to enable it.

| MacOS Big Sur does not accept SSH key Posted: 10 Oct 2021 09:09 PM PDT I am trying to perform a password-less access from a Linux system to a MacOS system using SSH private / public keys I am generating the keys on the Linux system using and then copy the public key to my MacOS system using Then I call and I get different results when using Big Sur (Version 11.1) and Catalina (Version 10.15.7)!

| How can I enable “Sleep Mode” from iOS Shortcuts Posted: 10 Oct 2021 03:06 PM PDT I've got an iOS Shortcut that sets my alarm and turns off my lights but I also want it to turn on "Sleep Mode" on my iPhone and Apple Watch. This can manually be done by clicking the bed icon labelled "Sleep Mode" in the Control Panel (see pic below) but I can't for the life of me find how to do this using a shortcut. I can disable it in the morning with a shortcut when I cancel my alarm by turning off DND mode but turning on DND doesn't turn on the rest of Sleep Mode. Anyone have any idea how to enable this from an iOS Shortcut?

| How fix MacOS Mail so Gmail labels appear? Posted: 10 Oct 2021 07:00 PM PDT I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and set up Mac Mail with my Gmail accounts. At first, when the mail was being imported, the labels for my emails listed in the list preview section of the Inbox / message browser appeared. Then, Mac ran an update for 10.15 (Catalina), and all of the labels for my emails listed in the list preview section of the Inbox / message browser disappeared. I've ensured that the 'Show in IMAP' checkbox is ticked next to all of the labels I wish to see as folders in Apple Mail. It shows the mailbox but not the labels for the messages listed in the list preview section of the Inbox / message browser. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've contacted Apple support, but they haven't provided any guidance.  | ||||||||||||

| iCloud reminders (web site) - missing features? Posted: 10 Oct 2021 06:04 PM PDT This Apple KB article implies that one can create new reminders lists, edit details of reminders set as alert time, change folders of reminders, etc. https://support.apple.com/kb/PH12088?locale=en_US However, I don't see any of these options. I can add new reminders and edit notes, but I can't do any of the other things it states. Is the iCloud reminders web interface neutered now? I don't have the "+ at the top" the article refers to. As far as I can see, the only things I can do on the iCloud web site are:
I don't think there are any other possible functions - ? Was hoping to use iCloud on the web as an interim since the macOS desktop reminders app won't sync with iCloud until Catalina.

| Garage Band live transposing MIDI input Posted: 10 Oct 2021 05:08 PM PDT I have a MIDI instrument whose input I'd like to transpose live (ie. so the sound synthesized for it is transposed up a third from the actual input, for example). I tried adding an AU Pitch Shift effect plugin to the track. This does allow me to do the transposition. But, since this effect works on the output audio signal and not the MIDI input (and does so in software) it is noticeably laggy (to the point where playing is annoying). I did some investigation and found this article: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2426268. It's old (2010), but it discusses using MIDI Patchbay to create a fake virtual MIDI input with the transposition. The problem the OP faced there was that Garage Band still picked up the initial untransposed MIDI input (because it listens to all MIDI inputs for the current track; this seems to still be the case as I confirmed this by trying two MIDI instruments simultaneously). Since this question is older, do recent versions of Garage Band allow you to filter out certain MIDI tracks (making this approach possible)? Ideally, I'd like to do the transpose live from within Garage Band. I also found in the editor (under score) the "Transpose" option (which for some reason is disabled under "Piano Roll"). However, this doesn't seem to have an effect on the live input. tl;dr Is there a way to live transpose MIDI input that you are synthesizing/monitoring through Garage Band?  | ||||||||||||

| What is Apple's policy for supporting security updates on older versions of iOS? Posted: 10 Oct 2021 04:00 PM PDT Does Apple have a policy regarding how long they will continue to release and support security fixes for each iOS release? I observe that many people complain about performance issues with iOS upgrades on their relatively "old" Apple devices. Therefore, before buying, I would like to foresee how long my device will be provided with security updates by Apple for its default iOS version. I specifically wonder the date of end of security support for iOS 6 (its latest sub-version, probably 6.1.3). Edit in 2019: I have came across a graphic showing Apple's support for older devices. This is not specifically about security updates, but still I think it is relevant and interesting.

| How do I tell if the Flash Player Installer is a virus? Posted: 10 Oct 2021 10:25 AM PDT There's been a couple of trojans recently that imitate the Adobe Flash Player installer one of which is called OSX/flashback.A. (More info here) I've been wary of updating Adobe Flash Player due to this trojan. How do I tell if the installer is the real thing, or if it's just a trojan? Also, where does it come from? I'm pretty sure the DMG for the trojan downloaded automatically, opened the installer, and wanted me to install it. I know that I can download the official installer from the Adobe website, and will probably do this. However, my questions remain.  |
