Re: Continued problems with Finder

I guess I should explain the whole boring thing. Nobody is obligated to read. I am bored with it myself. A few months ago, my drive that I used for Time Machine just up and died. So I started with a new one. I sometimes connected this new drive with just a cable and sometimes through a

I would advise not using a Mac charger because wattage output is much higher than required by the watch. I suggest you purchase a 20W USB-C charger from Apple, or a MFI 20W charger from Amazon. - Brad - On Feb 13, 2023, at 15:15, Fazil M. wrote: Hi, Group. Yesterday I got Apple Watch SE2

Re: Strange Mac Clean-up question, moving documents folder from iCloud to my Mac

Do you know how to set it for offline? There’s no way I want to pay to store all this in iCloud. I have stuff here that goes back 25 years. I’d like to keep it, but I don’t want to pay to store it. I back up my Mac regularly, so I’m not worried about losing it. TIA, Donna > On Feb 13, 2023,

Re: Strange Mac Clean-up question, moving documents folder from iCloud to my Mac

I’m guessing here based on how iCloud Drive works. You can try Command delete and see if that deletes the folder. It may treat it as a default folder though since iCloud is somewhat integrated into the Mac. Otherwise, you should probably be able to delete everything in the folder. However, you

Question re hierarchical structure

Hi all, So I’m trying to figure out the structure of my drive. I have something called Donna’s MacBook Air that shows up when I try to save a file, but I can’t save a file there. Then I have the Macintosh HD icon on my desktop. There is a user profile for Donna Goodin in Macintosh HD, but

Strange Mac Clean-up question, moving documents folder from iCloud to my Mac

Hi all, When I got my current Mac back in 2020, as some of you may recall, I had problems migrating files from my old Mac. So I decided to transfer my documents by copying the folder to iCloud, and hoped that I could then download it onto the new Mac. The download never happened. I’m trying

RE: Continued problems with Finder

As far as the Time Machine drives go, it is possible you had to select your backup again if you jumped from an earlier version of MacOS. This, though, would depend on how far back your system was previously. I have had situations in which I had to reselect my time machine backup disk for

Fwit, let me explain why I went with the M2 Max. As the Tom's Guide review points out: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/macbook-pro-14-16-m2-pro-max-2023 Both the Pro and the Max also have faster access to memory. Apple claims "the updated architecture allows for 200 GB/s of bandwidth on M2

Re: How much ram and storage should i get?

I am sure someone would buy that. the m2 max with 2 tb storage and 32 or 64 gb ram should be plenty. Especially with music creation. Get a nice ssd for samples and libraries if you need down the road. I had the m2 max returned it because I wanted to double the storage and the ram. Plus I screwed
