Re: strange behavior on my Mac

[Eric Oyen]

I have had this several times since 2 updates back. It appears to be a kernel 
crash bug of some sort. I also have a 2012 late model Mac mini. This may be a 
problem in the kernel specifically or an external trigger. One thing I noted in 
the system logs was that logging would cease about 30 minutes before the crash, 
which means that other system services were being impacted before the final 
crash.

Amputating a Folder on External SSD

[Dave Carlson]

I have a 2 Tb drive connected to my Apple Airport Extreme that is used for Time 
Machine backups on my two Mac OS and my wife’s Mac. It also serves as a 
repository for iTunes, Music archives, and Photo Archives.

It is getting too full, and there is a folder called “Backups.backupdb” that 
was created two years ago when I first got my Mac and connected the SSD 
directly to my machine. These backups are completely useless to me, and use up 
almost 50Gb of space that I could use.

When I try to delete any of the folders in this tree using Command+Delete or 
Command+Option+Delete, it tries very hard to do the deleting, but I ultimately 
fail to get the job done, and get the following message:

The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each 
item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check 
the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and 
not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.

Well, it’s a real pain to try and mark these folders as suggested, and actually 
they are all not locked, and have the access set to “read and Write’ for 
everyone.

So how do I just snip off this folder and not get that message above? I suspect 
there’s a clever terminal command to do this, so looking forward to one of the 
real tech-heads on this list to point me in the right direction.

Many thanks!

strange behavior on my Mac

[Lorie McCloud]

I've got a late 2014 Mac Mini running Catalina. twice now it has just gone dead 
in the middle of doing something. today I was playing an audio file in a folder 
on my Mac when it just stopped. at first I thought the file had ended but I 
couldn't get a response out of my Mac no matter what I did. it was still 
running but was completely unresponsive to anything I tried to do using the 
trackpad and/or the keyboard. I had to push the button to turn it off and then 
later restart it. what might be going on here? suggestions please.

thanks.
Lorie

I w9ould do a clean install consideringg that you are jumping several versions

Re: trouble upgrading MacBook Pro 2019 to Monterey

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

I suspect that it’s asking you to enter your password for the computer.  
Upgrading from Mojave to Monterey is perfectly normal and supported.  If just 
entering your password then pressing return does not get it started, use the 
Application Chooser, VO-f1-f1, down to system Dialogs, and there should be an 
authentication dialog waiting for your attention.

I was thinking the same thing, although the Apple help page makes it sound like 
you should be able to upgrade directly from Mohave.

Re: trouble upgrading MacBook Pro 2019 to Monterey

[Brad Snyder]

I would try updating to macOS Catalina first, and then do the update to 
Monterey.
If you have a problem finding the Catalina installer, contact me off list, and 
I can get it to you.

HTH.

Thanks all for any suggestions you may offer.
