Adobe Pro DC : How to group and move a block of text and a surrounding box that contains this text

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:34 AM PDT

With Adobe Pro DC under MacOS monterey, I have the following figure where I active the option "modify text and figures" :

figure with legend to move as a simple block

I want to move the entire selection and content of the grey legend as it was a unique block.

But as you can, when I activtae the "modify text and figures", I can't group the grey surrounding and the text inside with also the 3 color boxes purple, orange and yellow.

It is difficult with trackpad to combine the motion and keeping touch the shift or ctrl key. I had a long time ago the trick but I don't remember how to reproduce it.

Is there a way to select all the legend (and its content) and move it as unique block ?

Any help is welcome.

Install older version of Google Photos on iphone 6

I just received a reset iPhone 6 from a friend. I would like to install Google Photos but this app needs iOS14. Now the iphone 6 can be upgraded up to iOS12.5.5 and no more.

Is there a way I can install and older version of Google Photos on this iphone?

Renamed files to MD5 hashes, how to do so for one directory?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:58 AM PDT

I used this command and ended up damaging several directories' worth of files, not system-critical files on macOS Monterey 12.2.1, MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020:

find . -type f -exec bash -c 'mv $1 "${1%.*}.$(md5 -q $1).${1##*.}"' bash {} \;

It moved them from their directories to /Users/ and renamed them to their md5 hashes, I did this command:

cd Users/USERNAME/Desktop/mytest  find . -type f -exec bash -c 'mv $1 "${1%.*}.$(md5 -q $1).${1##*.}"' bash {} \;

Isn't this a highly dangerous command like sudo and how should I have used it for files specific to one directory only?

Time Machine Error: "An error occurred while copying files"

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 02:13 AM PDT

I have an iMac(21.5-inch, Mid 2011) running macOS High Sierra, and I'm trying to back up all my data to a 1TB hard drive using Time Machine. When it backs up about 35GB out of 50GB, it says: "An error occurred while copying files. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk." I don't see any option to "repair disk" in the disk utility. I'm newer to mac and can't figure out how to fix this issue. Can anyone help me?

Is there a way to set the accessibility zoom increment?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 04:08 AM PDT

In accessibility, you can enable keyboard shortcuts to zoom, and then use Command + Option + =/- to zoom in and out. But the zoom amount is too minimal, and each time I want to zoom in, I have to press Command + Option + = + = + = or even more to get where I want to be. I'd estimate that the zoom amount for each increment is perhaps 5%, at most 10%, and I want it to be something like 20% or maybe even 30%

So, is there a terminal command (I'm assuming that's the answer) to edit some internal setting to update the increment value?

How can I fix my Mac volume glitching?

Posted: 01 Apr 2022 03:04 AM PDT

When I use my Mac, the volume glitches. Every few seconds, all the output devices disappear, even if it is only the 'Internal Speakers', and the volume mutes, then everything returns and the volume goes back to about 20%.

Here's what it looks like:

Volume Glitch

I've also reset SMC and PRAM/NVRAM.

I have Windows (Boot Camp) on an external USB drive. The issue doesn't happen there. But, I can't boot into Windows using the selector tool (hold alt on startup), so instead, I need to boot into recovery mode and then select it as the startup disk. Normal macOS doesn't recognise the Windows drive either. This may be related to the issue.

I don't think it's a third-party app, but I used AppCleaner to uninstall all my audio utilities and my most recent installations.

Is there a solution? Thanks.
