Sorry, but the two choices I listed are the only ones. Regardless of moving up 
or down through the Pop up box. It just cycles around those two.

Well, how about the other suggestions. Did you try opening it in preview? Did 
you try exporting it and changing the settings in the photo settings? Like I 
said a quick Google search produces good results.

Re: HEIC converter

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

When in Photos, you use the Export Photo to export to jpg, not Save.  Using 
Preview, also works great.  Open the image in Preview by using VO-shift-m to 
bring up the contextual menu for the photo, then Open With, and choose Preview. 
 Once open in Preview, you can export to jpg, pdf etc.

Later…

Check the settings in Safari Preferences -> General, and make sure it's 
configured to open Safari in a new window (and not with the windows from

Opening in a new window is the default.

Is there a setting for Safari that does not insist on opening all those

even if I just open Safari using Option+S.

This should still work as it always did. Have you checked that it is

There may be other settings to check as well.

Import/Export of Safari Passwords

[Dave Carlson]

I’m using Monterey now more than my old Mojave OS. However I find that Safari 
on Monterey does not know most of my stored passwords, and it does not seem to 
ask if I want to store or update them when I type on a web page.

On my Mojave Safari I was prompted whenever it was a new page or if I changed 
the username or password.

Since Safari on the Monterey OS does not do this, I wanted to import my Safari 
passwords from Mojave into Monterey’s Safari.

On the Monterey Safari there is an ability to export/imnport the stored 
passwords via a CSV file, in System Preferences. I can’t find the equivalent in 
the Mojave System Preferences. Does anyone know how I can export my Mojave 
Safari stored passwords so that I can import them into Monterey Safari?

No, but possibly rsync.

So that you make a script with dd that copy it back and forth.

I would prefer not to have to do anything - just change the

Re: Preserving configuration files under /etc across Mac OS upgrades

[John Panarese]

   SIP and security changes in Big Sur and Monterey have changed the way many 
system resources are handled. Again, I am not certain off the top of my head 
what has changed in MacOS 12, but the previous suggestion of a script might 
work as well.

I need to convert iPHone photes to JPEG. My insurance won’t accept HEIC. Can 
you recommend an accessible converter?

Re: Bookmarks not syncing yet again

[Brad Snyder]

Safari bookmarks sync via iCloud. I don't think it matters what Wi-Fi network 
you are connected to.
You might try going into your iCloud settings on each of your devices, and turn 
off bookmark syncing. Then turn it back on and see what happens on each of your 
max.

HTH.

The files in /etc are configuration files which are supposed to be 
subject to modification by the system administrator. It's possible, of 
course, that Apple no longer respects this convention.

Hi!
Could dd work for the specific folder?
So that you make a script with dd that copy it back and forth.
