    osx for older iMac 2010

    I have one of those 2010 iMacs. Runs very well on Monterey (OCLP install), after replacing the original hard drive with an SSD (good choice even if you continue with High Sierra)

    Keyboard shortcut for a particular keyboard key

    I think you will need to explain why a key, literally already on the keyboard, would need a keyboard shortcut

    Good Podcast App For Apple TV, Android & Mac?

    The title of this thread gives that information: "Good Podcast App For Apple TV, Android & Mac?" More important, I think: The OP posted this more than 5 years ago, and has not returned since that first post. There's been more than 2,000 views in more than 5 years, and no response until today. I...

    Unable to boot using USB Bootable drive on Mac

    The USB drive is not bootable, just because it is new. You make it bootable by properly installing a bootable system. This is often a big challenge from Windows. Copying files to the drive does not make the drive bootable, and that's what you often end up with when trying to make it from a...

    Multipathing Storage Support in Apple macOS

    Looks like a company such as ATTO has support articles, as well as updated software for macOS, updated as recently as February 2023, for both Fibre Channel card drivers and ATTO's configuration software for multi-path on Macs. https://www.atto.com/downloads/203/#4 That shows some kind of support...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    But, why look back a couple of years now? If the backup/restore was successful, and Disk Drill did not stay on your Mac, and all that remained was whatever was leftover from the Disk Drill task (recovery, correct?) - but Disk Drill was removed when the tech job was complete.... Well, sure, the...

    Is it safe to remove the Library folders from the finder sidebar? And, should I leave one? Which?

    Actually, there's more than just two libraries on your Mac. 1. One for your user folder (and there's a Library folder in each user on your Mac) Those [username] folders may appear to not have a Library folder, as the user Library folder is hidden, by default. You can choose to have your own...

    .Cleverfiles. What the heck are they again?

    Well, you mostly know where the Cleverfiles folder came from -- It's obviously a left-over from the use of Disk Drill for a necessary file recovery. If that old recovery is not a factor now, you should be able to ignore the "Cleverfiles" folder (don't transfer any of that folder to your new Mac)...

    Can I use a 2014 MacMini as an External HD?

    Try the migration - you may (or may not) get a "not enough space" notification. One way to find out - try it. The reason I say that, is, as I said: If the migration process ignores the system temp files/cache files, then I expect you should be OK for space. And, it will just be the wait time for...

    How do I 'just simply' deal with this huge SYSTEM DATA report?

    The largest variable in your System Data will probably be Cache files, perhaps other temporary files. The Migration Assistant should not pull those over from the old Mac. If it were to do that, you would get a warning similar to "not enough space on destination drive" I know that everyone has...

    Can I use a 2014 MacMini as an External HD?

    You said that your 2014 mini has a Fusion drive, which is not just one device. It is a software combination of the 2 drives that are inside the mini: a mechanical hard drive, and an m.2-type stick for an SSD. Likely the only way to use that "virtual" fusion drive, is with both devices still...

    Magic Trackpad has me mystified. Why is it grabbing content without clicks?

    There's some settings for the trackpad in "Accessibility". Look for "Pointer Control", then look at "Trackpad Options". You may have a setting that you don't really need. Try changing the setting for draglock. If it is turned on, try changing to "without draglock", or choose "three finger drag"

    How to install an application for all users

    A default user folder (new install, or simply a new user) will not have an Applications folder, unless you either choose to make one, or an app install of some kind adds an Applications folder to your user folder, or you choose to make that folder yourself. So, applications (the executable apps)...

    I have an orange Ibook g3 (Clamshell) Can not access open firmware?

    The "Command + S is to boot into single user mode. That is NOT open firmware. Boot into Open Firmware by starting while holding Option-Command-O-F (That's the letter O, not a zero) You can do a couple of resets in Open Firmware, but that won't do anything for a firmware password, if that is...

    How To Disable "disk Not Ejected Properly"?

    You apparently have not read the other posts in this, relatively short, thread. But, in a couple of short phrases... Don't know if that kind of hardware notification can be disabled. Even if it could be disabled, how do you then know that other, similar repots will then also be blocked, with...

    Problem with installing OS X on MacBook Air (2010)

    I have been using the other method to get Mac OS on older Macs: Boot to a USB bootable installer for the version of OS X that you want to install. That is something that I have been working with as a hobby since Lion appeared on the scene. I have USB drives with single installers, anything...

    Mouse Pointer Moving Along with Click

    your video shows you left-clicking the mouse, only touching with the "click" finger, and the mouse is free to move. You are not controlling the movement of the mouse in any way, and the mouse simply moves slightly each time you press the click. Maybe your previous mouse simply did not move when...

    Stickies disappeared when reinstalling OSX Ventura after log in issues.

    Your user/Library folder is normally hidden. The tip to show that through the View Options will only show your own user/Library folder. The Library folder in your backup would remain hidden, unless you choose to show ALL hidden folders. Do that by pressing Shift-Command-. (That would be...

    Use imac as a windows monitor

    The Mini DisplayPort for Target Display mode was only on 27-inch iMacs, and only for 2009 and 2010 models. 2011 to 2014 iMacs (both 27 and 21.5-inch) could be used for Target Display mode, but only with Thunderbolt, and if the source computer had native Thunderbolt ports (displayport and mini...
