| Safari is caching hard, I have to empty for each change in my css Posted: 06 Apr 2022 03:38 AM PDT Does anybody know if there is a fix/workaround for Safari so it doesn't cache everything so hard. I'm solving a specific Safari bug and I have to empty the cache for each change I do. They removed the "disable cache" option so I'm wondering what you guys do. |

| Posted: 06 Apr 2022 01:01 AM PDT I have a very similar issue to this question M1 mac: mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e') - python I am trying to import tensorflow_probability in jupyter-lab, in a conda environment, on an M1 macbook pro.

| X11/XQuartz 'Couldn't find per display information' on Mac Book Pro 2019, OS Monterey Posted: 05 Apr 2022 11:43 PM PDT I am trying to run mbsystem (a command-line tool for geodata processing) that for some commands uses a GUI based interface (e.g. if i type 'mbedit' in the command line, a window should open where i can manually edit geodata). For this, i needed to install XQUartz but whenever i try the GUI, the error message 'Couldn't find per display information' occurs. Xclock, xeyes, xterm all work fine, it's just in combination with mbsystem. I spend ages googling and trying a lot of things, Logging in and out, reinstalling, changing installation order etc. didn't work.
I'm helpless - can someone give me a hint? |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2022 11:16 PM PDT Is there a way to remove the header and footer that FB adds when I save a page as a PDF (from Chrome on a Mac)? When I ask Facebook to give me an archive of some of my previous posts, I gives me results that link to an archive page, something like this: which shows thumbnails and 2- to 3-line snippets of all my timeline posts for April 2021. That's really pretty useful for searching. But unfortunately, that page is not searchable. On a Mac, using Cmd+F will only search the framework of the page that has the date text, the displayed snippets of the post contents are not searchable. Cmd+A, Cmd+V will copy the framework text, but not the snippets. If I save it as HTML and reload the saved file, same problem is there. I'm not enough of an HTML guru to figure out how to automate restructuring of the pages. However, I can save the page a PDF and then the full displayed text is searchable. That's what I want. Yay! BUT there is a glitch. FB adds headers and footers to every PDF page that cover over part of the text of the first and last snippet on each. The text is there, hidden. If I search the PDF for text that I know is hidden, Acrobat highlights the area where the text should be, underneath the large colored header or footer bar. So is there a way to get FB to not insert page headers and footers when the web page is saved as PDF? I can save PDFs of other web pages without this kind of problem. Thanks. |
| what's the difference between Homebrew's sevenzip and p7zip formulae? Posted: 05 Apr 2022 11:58 PM PDT I want to install 7zip. Homebrew appears to have two different formulae for this. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/sevenzip https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/p7zip Following the links to their respective home pages the both claim to be the latest with fairly recent releases. Is one of these projects an imposter? What's the difference? Which one do I want to install? |

| How to open a website in Safari in Recovery mode Posted: 05 Apr 2022 08:55 PM PDT On macOS Desktop, if I want to open www.google.com from Terminal That's easy Just enter: Then Safari will run and open www.google.com. But, when I want to do the same thing on Mac Recovery's Terminal, it doesn't work. There's no

| Posted: 05 Apr 2022 07:32 PM PDT Assuming I can coerce Photos.app to export a video that works, how do I make it repeat? Photos only outputs one format, M4V, but I convert it with Handbrake to MP4 (for a huge size reduction). It repeats in Photos, but neither file repeats and I don't know how to make them repeat. |
| How does MacOS calendar determine if an event is "time-sensitive"? Posted: 05 Apr 2022 09:29 PM PDT Sometimes when I get an alert for a calendar event, there's a chime and the notification says that it's "time-sensitive". Other times the alert is silent and this wording isn't in the notification. I can't figure out what distinguishes the two types of events. Some of my alerts are based on travel time, others are just based on time until the event starts. Could that be the distinction? |
| Syncing opened Safari tab groups between devices Posted: 05 Apr 2022 07:36 PM PDT If I have two iPhones/iPads, should I be able to see the same Safari tab groups on both of them? Based on what I have seen online, it sounds like I should. However, it does not seem to be the case for me. I am using the latest iOS 15.4. The only relevant setting I can think of is Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place? Is there a screenshot available somewhere? |
| Automate switching virtual desktops on macOS Posted: 05 Apr 2022 09:03 PM PDT I'm making an app (in python) that requires a way to switch macOS virtual desktops (spaces) using a keyboard shortcut, terminal command, etc. It pretty much doesn't matter how its done as long as it doesn't interfere with using the computer and can be triggered using python. Currently I have tried using the Is there any way to do this? |

| Posted: 06 Apr 2022 02:21 AM PDT When I start my MacBook, I have an empty folder with a question mark. If I start Internet Recovery, I get stuck at a white or gray screen. I created a boot USB stick with El Capitan and I received a white screen. I tried several times and I received a blue screen, a gray screen, but most of the time I had a white screen. I ran diagnostic tests from Apple (press D when the MacBook starts) and no problems were found. I reset NVRAM, but doing so did not help. Safe Mode does not work. Target mode worked. Also, I tried a USB stick with Yosemite and it does not work either. The white screen appears instead of showing the menu with Disk Utility, install OS X, etc. I tried three different HDDs. All of them working on another Mac, but not this one. Also, I thought that I may have broken RAM and replaced it with another one, but I have the same white/gray screen issue every time. Also, I tried to create a bootable HDD via createinstallmedia (like a USB stick) and MacBook load from HDD without USB stick but I had a white screen too. I tried running verbose mode and It's working https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOqs0li48mc I tried running single-user mode and it's also working Verbose Mode and Single-User mode is working only if USB stick with ELCapitan connected to mac (Also HDD connected to MacBook). USB stick locked to write.

| How can I trigger AppleScript whenever the Deskop-workspace is changed? Posted: 05 Apr 2022 11:21 PM PDT I am an avid user of the Mission Control Desktop Workspaces feature of Mac OS. But keeping track of which space I'm in, and even moreso what the previous space was, is frequently a problem. There are some little tools on GitHub such as WhichSpace (currently at v0.3.2) which do things like put a little icon in the tool bar to tell you the number of the Desktop Workspace you're currently in. But it would be hugely more useful if a change of workspace could trigger an AppleScript script. There are many various ways that the active desktop workspace can be changed manually. I can use the keyboard hotkeys Ctl+Left and Ctl+Right, swipe left or right, open Mission Control and pick a Desktop from the list that appears at the top of the screen, etc. And there are ways the desktop workspace gets changed without my direct decision. I click an application in the taskbar and instead of opening a new window, I get taken to the space that already has an open window. I use the new Chrome tab list (the down arrow at the upper right) and pick a tab and I have no idea what space that window is in, but I go there. Is there some way in which, no matter what is causing me to change spaces, in or out of my control, a script or function could be called and be given parameters of the old and new space numbers, or at least the new space number? I am looking for ways to replicate some of the functionality of CurrentKey Stats, which is no longer supported. In the latest versions of CKS, a feature can be turned on so that whenever the space was changed, by whatever means, an AppleScript script is called: and a function in that script is given a parameter of the identity of the new space. This turns out to be really useful. That's what I'm trying to do, in a way that is not dependent on abandoned software. But doing anything along those lines seems to hinge on being able to be notified whenever any app or system process changes the current space and what that change is. Does anyone know how to do that? (The author of CurrentKey just became a father last week, so I don't expect to hear from him anytime soon, and in previous correspondence, he said he couldn't recommend his method, whatever it was.) |
| How Could I Delete Downloaded Default Wallpapers? Posted: 06 Apr 2022 02:01 AM PDT I've downloaded some of the optional wallpapers in the settings panel and I can't find the option to delete them. They're 100MB HEIC files so I'd rather them not sit on my drive being unused. How could I delete them? I've downloaded the Big Sur and Catalina wallpapers.

| Posted: 05 Apr 2022 10:45 PM PDT MacBookPro16,1 running Big Sur 11.3.1 (20E241) This job consumes huge amounts of CPU off and on (see attached image from my Activity Monitor), often causing my laptop fans to engage to cool the processor. This is generally when the App itself (Anyconnect) is not running. The program launches automatically and relaunches every time I kill it, restart, etc. I have tried fancier things like removing the Cisco elements from launch directories etc, but it does not have any effect. There are several discussions online about this problem, but none of the proposed solutions have helped me: Stop Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from starting up automatically I've tried all the solutions I've found online (including those in the above links), but nothing stops it. Only uninstalling AnyConnect works, but I need the Cisco VPN to work remotely with my organization. Anyone worked this out (for real?) t3s |

| Disk Space taken up by misc/other - not TimeMachine Posted: 05 Apr 2022 09:07 PM PDT I have OS X 10.15.7 running on a 500GB SSD and OmniDiskSweeper, GrandPerspective and System Information show that I have used about 270GB but only have about 30GB free. OmniDiskSweeper just counts what is there, but GrandPerspective shows 191GB of "Miscellaneous used space" (big grey box on the side) and System Profiler lists it as 'Other'. I know I should have loads of space because I moved my Photos library to an external disk and I was sitting at over 100GB at that point, but in the months since then it has ticked away. I've tried Something curious but possibly unrelated things 1: the disk drive has that second partition "- Data" and it is listed as 500GB too. It may be just me misinterpreting the read out, or poor interface design on Apple's part. The reason I mention this is that Disk Xray Lite also seems confused about disk space, claiming I have used 536GB, presumably because it has counted 2: I replaced
Some additional shots from Disk Utility to help diagnosis. The numbers have changed a little bit because I have deleted a few gigabytes, but the balance is the same

| Install Windows10 on older mac with boot camp does not provide install option Posted: 05 Apr 2022 08:08 PM PDT I'm trying to install Windows10 on my old MBP (Model: MacBookPro10,1). I prepared a USB-Stick formatted as FAT32 with a MBR. I followed this documentation (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/bootcamp-assistant/bcmp09f5f773/6.1/mac/10.14) and Step 4 says:

| How to add shortcut for Insert Equation in PowerPoint 2016? Posted: 06 Apr 2022 04:19 AM PDT PowerPoint 2016 for Mac finally includes the new-style equation editor (which was already available in Word for Mac and PowerPoint for Windows). An equation can be inserted using a ribbon button (Insert → Insert Equation). How can I add a keyboard shortcut for this? Is there already a keyboard shortcut for it? For Word I could use the OS settings from System Preferences → Keyboard and set up a shortcut for the menu item named "Equation". But I cannot find a corresponding menu item in PowerPoint. I can only find this feature on the ribbon, but not the in menu. Is there any way to set up a keyboard shortcut for it? |
