| Remove information about file from an image or PDF preview [duplicate] Posted: 15 Apr 2022 03:53 AM PDT After the recent update to MacOS Monterey 12.2.1 i faced the following issue. Previously when I opened an image with Preview (Space key) it was only image in the preview window. Now image preview is small but the significant part of window is occupied with the file info - file name, size, last modified. I would like to see only the image without any file info. BTW if I use preview when attaching image to the email in Mac Mail the preview is full-size. |
| Error trying to install java on OS Monterey Posted: 15 Apr 2022 01:55 AM PDT In the first instance, I install rosetta with the following command: Then, i going to install Java, in my case, i need download 11.0.1 (build 11.0.1+13), i used this link: https://jdk.java.net/archive/ In search menu, i look for library -> select the library folder that is at the root-> within the library i go to java(folder)->open JavaVirtualMachines(folder) and paste the extracted file. Until this point, all it is ok, but, when y try to open terminal and type java -version, i get this error: I think that the file cannot be trusted, i go to system preferences and select security and privacy, i go to general tab and select allow anyway and try again and i have the same error does anyone have the same error? what solution did you find? |

I would like to disable the behavior that allows Chrome to customize its dock options (Like Can I remove the profile list from Chrome's dock options? If not, can I remove the dock options from all apps? |
| Is there any way to use trackpad force touch for right click? Posted: 15 Apr 2022 12:58 AM PDT I see there is no option to select force touch for secondary click in System Preferences. But for me it would have been perfect option for the right click. I could not find anything about this in google, maybe there is some hack to make right click work from force touch? |
| AirDrop / autosync not always working Posted: 14 Apr 2022 11:38 PM PDT I've got a new MBP (M1 14", Monterey 12.2.1) and an iPhone 8 (iOS 15.3.1) and generally the sync (clipboard copies) and sending smth from the phone to the Mac with airdrop works, but sometimes it just hangs until I restart the Mac. Eg. I'd send an image or a URL or a webpage from the iPhone to the Mac with Airdrop and it will be stuck at "waiting". I'd restart the Mac and afterwards, when I send smth again, all the things that were stuck from before and didn't go thru, will now get send at once. So, it seems as if an airdrop/sync buffer is filled, but can't get thru, and once connection is established, it gets flushed. And only a restart of the Mac fixes the connection. I haven't rly had this issue with other MBPs. I just got this one a month ago. It's kinda' frustrating, since the "It just works" paradigm doesn't work. And I'm not even sure how to debug this issue. |

| How to disassociate the Bluetooth connection for a Magic Trackpad 2 from macOS? Posted: 15 Apr 2022 01:24 AM PDT I have a Magic Trackpad 2 that's been having some intermittent slowdown when connected normally. After turning off Bluetooth generally on macOS the Magic Trackpad 2 works great all of the time with no lag/slowdown. Clearly the problem is with the Bluetooth connection having some kind of interference or such and so I'd like to operate it with the USB cable (as I already have it plugged in 100% of the time anyway) only. How can I, therefore, permanently disassociate a Magic Trackpad 2 device once it's been paired with macOS? |
| How to regain admin privileges on Big Sur Posted: 14 Apr 2022 08:06 PM PDT I'm using Big Sur and renamed my admin account. Now it has been downgraded to a standard account. There are other admin accounts on the system, so backing everything up and reinstalling wouldn't work. I can't use single user mode because that doesn't exist anymore. Removing How else should I try to regain my admin privileges? |
| `open folder` may fail due to “untranslocated nodes” Posted: 15 Apr 2022 12:54 AM PDT For some reason, opening a folder in the Finder from the command line with does not work anymore for subdirectories of my Documents folder: opens a new Finder window, but that does not show the "TestDir" folder but the "Computer" folder. The system log shows these error messages about "untranslocated nodes": Running First Aid on Macintosh HD (in Recovery mode) did not report any errors. The problem occurs only with (nested) subdirectories of "Documents". Opening "Documents" itself or any other folder works correctly. Sometimes it works if I specify the "-R" flag explicitly, e.g. but not always. My configuration: macOS 12.3.1 on a MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020). Any ideas how to fix (or further investigate) this problem are welcome. |
| Can I run Monterey as a VM on an iMac that is to old for Monterey? Posted: 15 Apr 2022 12:50 AM PDT So I have a very nice 27" 5K iMac, late 2014 model. I know I can get Monterey to work using OCLP on this hardware, but I rather don't want to mess with that as that would require a full re-install, for which I have no time. (A lot of home-brew/custom software that would need to be setup fresh.) So I wonder if I can run Monterey in a VM instead, even though the underlying hardware is officially not supported. I can just give it a try off course, but Monterey is a big download and I have very limited bandwidth at the moment, that is also needed for other stuff during the day. Can anyone confirm whether this would work or not? |
| Beats Studio Buds don't connect after iOS 15.3 update Posted: 14 Apr 2022 07:07 PM PDT Last night I updated my iPhone 8 to iOS 15.3. This morning I noticed that I had some trouble connecting my Beats Studio Buds to my phone. Expected BehaviorNormally, when I open my Beats case and pull one of the earbuds out, it automatically connects to my phone and sound starts playing from the ear buds. After listening for a while, if I put one earbud back in the case, the audio pauses and they are disconnected. Current BehaviorWhen I pull an earbud out of the case, it does not connect to my phone right away. What seems to work right now is that I have to pull out both earbuds, press/hold the button to activate ANC and then go into my Bluetooth settings and connection to If my earbuds are in the case, and my phone is on, when I open the case near my phone, a popup opens showing the buds/case with their battery percentages, similar to what you might see when a new pair of earbuds are brought near a phone. What I have triedI removed the Beats from the Bluetooth menu with the "Forget" option. I then did a reset as described on Apple's Support Page. I then tried to pair it up again as a new device. My phone asked if I wanted to connect and all I got was a red exclamation point, indicating some unknown error. |

| Catalina crashing at shutdown: “watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd” Posted: 15 Apr 2022 03:03 AM PDT I have a MacBook Air 2017 with 8GB of RAM and 1.8 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, After updating to macOS Catalina, while I'm using my laptop it would freeze and the screen would turn black with a folder sign with a question mark in the middle flashing. This happens a lot and when I reboot my laptop this message pops up: I have gone to apple and they wiped my laptop and reinstalled macOS Catalina but the problem still persists. What do I do? |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2022 12:10 AM PDT I want to edit a Siri Shortcut I found which adds numerous items in a loop to the default iOS Reminders list. My idea is to prompt the user to select a Reminders list first and then use that list in the loop that adds the items to that specific list. I see that in the "Add to list" thingie, I can have it "ask every time" to select the list, and that works, but that asks for each item being added, which is too repetitive and laborious. I cannot figure out how to create a list variable which has the user's reminders lists in it so I can prompt them to make a selection from that list and then save that selection in a variable to be used in the "Add to list" thingie. I tried "Show reminders list" and selected "ask every time", but there's no way to save their selection in a variable to use later in "Add to list". |

| How can I combine PDF files and automatically create a table of contents? Posted: 15 Apr 2022 02:09 AM PDT I have a bunch of PDF files named, say, If memory serves, there used to be a tool called CombinePDFs that could do that, but it was written as a RealBASIC application and does not seem to work on OS X 10.8 anymore. Any alternative suggestion? Note: it's really about the automatic table of contents feature; I know how to merge/join/combine PDF files without one. |
