Hi,

If your on an Intel based mack holding d9own the cmd key wile booting will 
bring up the boot menu or target disk mode and then  you should be able to left 
arrow once and boot into the installer on the external disk.  If this doesn't 
work, you may have to enable external disk boot.  If on an m1 or later not sure 
how this works as I never had to do this.

Re: Warning to anyone looking to buy a HomePod: apparently Apple thinks it's OK to sell paperweights disguised as Homepods

2024-03-31 Thread Matthew Dyer

Hi,


I have had my current homepod for several years and it works well with 
really only one problem which I have yet to figure out.  When playing 
music on any of my macs, the device will just randomly drop out for some 
reason.  I have consitered getting a mini, but have not desided yet.  I 
have a electa which works with my sirius XM account as well as my 
thurmastate.  Its certainly an intresting issue with my music cutting 
out.  This does not happen with my ipad mini 5.

Actually, the HomePod is a good product.  The problem isn’t that the

In terms of performance, once it’s connected to Home, it does quite 
well, I think.  We used to have Sonos speakers, and they were 
constantly dropping out and needing to be reconnected or reset.  I 
don’t have any of that with the HomePods.  Also, I think Apple does a 
much better job of managing security than Amazon Alexa does.

Hello everybody I am inclined to agree with Anders Holmberg about the

turned out something that has some pretty serious defects in it. I am 
getting along with a Google home speaker and an Alexa device that my 
dad invited me to take with me when I moved out of his house. I also 
have a Google home hub which seems to work pretty good. Both of these 
devices can be updated. I would hope that Apple would understand 
about their defective product and work on a remedy to fix it. I feel 
bad for those people that were unfortunate enough to get a HomePod.

Hi all,

I just wanted to share this with the list, as it could potentially 
impact anyone considering the purchase of a HomePod or HomePod 
mini.  Feel free to share with anyone who might benefit.


After spending an entire afternoon trying to set up our new HomePod 
mini, I found the following article.  Buyer beware!  Apparently 
Apple thinks it’s just fine to sell these things.  I plan on 
returning mine, and will only buy another if the people at the 
Apple Store can definitively prove that it is running a more recent 
software version.


Apple Details What to Do If You Can't Update HomePod When Advanced 
Data Protection Is Enabled 

macrumors.com 





The text of the article follows:

To use Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, all the devices logged 
into your Apple ID require a minimum software version. That 
includes HomePod speakers, which must be running at least HomePod 
software 16.2.


However, according to /Bloomberg/'s Mark Gurman 
, there 
is a bug in the Home app that prevents HomePods running older 
versions of the software from being updated if iCloud end-to-end 
encryption has been turned on.


This means anyone buying a HomePod that ships with an OS older than 
16.2 won't be able to set it up, because doing so first requires an 
update.


Apple's support document explains what options are available to 
customers facing this predicament. If the speaker in question is a 
HomePod mini, users can connect it to a Mac via the USB-C cable and 
update it through Finder (or iTunes on a PC) by selecting the 
HomePod in the Finder sidebar and clicking the *Restore 
HomePod* option. This will update the speaker to the latest 
software, after which it can be properly set up.


The full-size first-generation HomePod and the new 2023 HomePod 
have no USB-C port, so unless Apple includes a fix in iOS 16.3, 
which is expected to be released next week, owners of these 
speakers will have to temporarily turn off Advanced Data Protection 
to update the HomePod software. Apple outlines how to do that in 
the following way:


 1. Turn off Advanced Data Protection in iCloud settings on your
iPhone, iPad, or Mac: In *Settings* or *System Settings*, tap
your name, then tap *iCloud*. Scroll to *Advanced Data
Protection* and turn off *Advanced Data Protection*.
 2. If you received an error message when you previously tried to
set up your HomePod, you may need to reset your HomePod
. Then
set up your HomePod

Re: Air vs. Pro

2024-03-15 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

I think that for basic use such as word processing and email/web browsing then 
the air should be fine.  If you however do a lot of file editing with audio, 
then you might want the pro.  I think it all really depends on what you are 
doing.  With that said, the air machines seem to be getting more powerful thees 
days.

Re: Ailing 2013 MacBook Air

2023-12-29 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

I had an iMac from 2013 that could only run Catalina.  That thing ran pretty 
slow even after a fresh install and I just assumed it was old hardware.  The 
machine finally died after 10 years after a storm fried up the system.  I gave 
it to someone who need a system since hers was out.  In any event, I am 
suprizwed that the MBA from 2013 can even run mixer.  I have an Intel Mac mini 
from 2018 which is still kicking but will have to desire what to do with it at 
some point after it no goes out of software support.  I thought of turning it 
into a linux box, but not sure yet.

RE: iPhone Plus, Definitely Heating It Up: Mark is Taking a Pass on iPhone 15 Series

Subject: iPhone Plus, Definitely Heating It Up: Mark is Taking a Pass on iPhone 
15 Series

Hello All,

Well, I have been working with a 15 Plus for over a week. I have truly been
putting it through it proverbial paces and I can tell you that the device
heats up far faster and far warmer than does my beloved 14 Pro Max.

It's really quite interesting as I understand that the 15 Plus is just a 14
series inside that titanium case.  Is this true?

Regardless, with only a screen protector installed and using a cheap $10
case I purchased at the Apple store, using the device for any uninterrupted
length of time when performing longer tasks such as performing system
restores, lengthy GPS navigation, App updates (over 30 or so at a time) the
phone really heats up.  I'm not saying it is heating to a dangerous level
but I am saying that it is heating up so much and so fast that I have
decided to not purchase a 15 Pro Max, this year.

Of course I am comparing the 15 Plus with my beloved 14 Pro Max with the
same level of screen brightness.

Okay, just thought I would pass this along.

Keep in mind, this is just my experience:  Your milage may vary.

I hope you are all doing well.

Mark

Hi,

Using an m1 Mac book air and do not have any of the crashing or busy messages 
mentioned.  That’s interesting.  I also have both an Intel Mac mini and a 
windows 11 desktop.  I find that my MBA is pretty stable.  I am able to do 
email and web browsing just fine without any problem.  Perhaps this has to do 
with certain websites.

 My biggest gripe with Mac OS and VO is web browsing. It’s awful compared
 to Windows with JAWS or NNVDA. It is the main reason I would seriously
 consider going back to Windows if/when it’s time to get a new laptop.
 I use DuckDuckGo as my browser now to get away from that annoying “Safari
 is Busy” message that cripples my productivity.
 
 So I’m on the fence about switching back to Windows, but if VO on the Mac
 does not improve over time (and I doubt that it will) I might just flip a
 coin on the decision.

 Are quite a few of you thinking of switching back to windows? Or are a lot

 I think I am mostly curious about this, because I have been talking about
 updating my MacBook Eyre. I guess part of me is beginning to wonder,
 should I get a Windows laptop instead? I would be very disappointed to
 spend $900 on a MacBook Air, and still have a lot of performance issues.
 
 What are your guises thoughts?

Re: More strange Mac mail behaviors.

2023-07-06 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

Whzat happens if you restart the mail app.  Also, do you have mail set to mark 
messages as deleted?  This is very strange.

 Then next thing I knew, Voiceover kept saying something about filters,

 I could’ve accidentally toggled on that I need to fix?

I've never encountered this issue, so the interesting question is why you're 
experiencing it and I'm not.

I've had File Vault enabled for a while, but all was fine even before that. 
When my machine is booted, focus goes straight to the password prompt.

Do I need to just bite the bullet and call AppleCare?  Thanks for

Hope this helps.

As I said, a Mac with Apple Silicon will not run Boot Camp. That means any Mac

I do not use a Mac without a monitor, nor do I use a Mac with Boot Camp, 
running windows, therefore, I cannot answer your question.

Thank you, Brad for this.  I’d consider an intel based mac mini. I have no

demanding a monitor be present?

Regarding the silicon imac 24 inch, I assume it won’t run windows in bootcamp 
either?

If you get them, you will not be sorry you made the purchase.
I do recommend you spend the extra $40 to purchase the lightning to 3.5mm

Good morning, all,

I’ve had the AirPods Pro for years, and in terms of performance and sound am 
quite happy with them.  But the left one has never really fit snugly in my ear, 
and because of my involvement with the clinical trial I mentioned a few weeks 
back, I’m going to be doing a lot of plane travel over the next several years.  
I don’t use my Airpods on the plane, because I’m afraid one of them will fall 
out and I’ll never find it again.  So, I’m thinking about investing in a good 
set of over-the-ear headphones, and since I’ve been happy with my Airpods Pro, 
the Max are currently at the top of my list..

Anyone on the list using them? If yes, are you happy with them?  Pros? Cons?

Re: A problem with Monterey

2021-10-31 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

Not seeing this here.  First off, what kind of Mac are you using?  MBP? Air, or 
something else.  Also, are you using an intelligent or M1?  I find that if 
doing a clean install of any major os clears up; any problems that might come 
up.

Re: Major problem with Monterey installer if you use vo.

2021-10-31 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

I find this an accessibility regression.  I went ahead and bought a mouse from 
apple and connected it to my Mac mini and then did the install.  It was a pain. 
 I feel that having a mouse just to get things going is a regression in my book.

Major problem with Monterey installer if you use vo.

2021-10-28 Thread matthew dyer
Evening Mac users.  I have a Mac mini 2018 and just created a USB installer and 
was able to boot from it.  However, I have found a major bug that I would 
consider  a show stopper if uou want to do a clean install.  If you do not have 
a mouse or trackpad, There is a window that comes up which has a mouse image 
and a trackpad image that seems to be rotating..  No amount of vo shift space 
or any other keystroke will make it go away.  Has anyone else ran into thisI  
intend to report this to apple accessibility, but wanted to see if anyone else 
had this problem and found a work around.  I think I have an old track pad 
around somewhere, but it needs batteries as this is an older one from an older 
iMac which I no longer have.  

Thanks.

Matthew

Have you tried VO Shift space?  This usually works for me.  I am running Bixer

Thanks.

Re: Interested in purchasing a Macbook Air

2021-08-21 Thread matthew dyer
Tery,

Youmight be able to get something from apple that is closer to want.  Apple 
sometimes has refurbished devices on the apple store with better ram and 
storage as well as a more mother and could still get at least a couple of 
updates at least.  HTH.

Any one have problems updating payment info on Apple ID?

2021-06-26 Thread matthew dyer
Hi all,

I have a problem trying to update my payment info on my Apple ID.  The card 
info is from an old card and I just got my new  card this week.  Any way I 
clicked on Apple ID and selected payment info and selected edit.  I see my bank 
card info, but after seleting edit, I do not see a way to change the info.  I 
can remove it but not change it.  What am I doing wrong?  Note the only 2 
things that need changed is the exp date and the the 3 digit code.  This card 
is connected to Apple Pay.  Thanks.  I have tried this on both my Mac as well 
as my old iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 14.6.  Thanks.

Hi I have been a mac user for years.  I have an el-braille which of 
corse uses windows 10, but I find Mac os to be a much more stable system 
and you don't have to pay for SMA'S to keep your screen reader update.  
Also, if you need to do a fresh instally don't need a seporate sound 
card to get sound with narorator.  The *stall can do be done without 
sited help to do this.

I do not use Alex and in fact cringe at his voice.  I use Allison on my Mac,

I love having all four of my devices including my watch on the same

But I hope to never have to purchase another Windows machine or another

I originally thought I would be using my 2019 Mac as a Winode’s machine 
primarily,  but some things have always appealed to me with the Mac that make 
me use it a lot more. First, I can use the Siri Voice for VO on the Mac and 
phone. I cannot with jaws. Second, iMessaging on the Mac is convenient and I 
can paste stuff from it into other documents which has come in handy. The Mac 
has improved sound quality even compared to Window’s on Bootcamp. Mac Mail is 
the best, and I love being able to take Phone  and FaceTime calls n my Mac 
allowing me to multi-task.

I notice a steady stream of new VO-using Mac switchers, and I was just

Re: Would love to hear from anyone who owns an M1 MBA

2021-05-07 Thread matthew dyer
Donna,

Good morning.  While this does not have to do with the M1 directly, I would 
sirtently speak to them at the apple store assuming that is where you got it.  
Explane them the problem you had and maybe they would be able to take a closer 
look at it.  I would also  see if they would be able to try getting your 
settings over to a replacement and let you see if it works before you leave the 
store and if not then at least you would be able to roll out rather or not it 
is a setting somewhare in your backup.  My advice would be to setup the machine 
as a new system and then if things are working, you can copy over things from 
your backup drive manually.  Thanks Do let us know how it goes.  

BTW, I would suspect that the number of conpatible apps will grow over time as 
the M1 matures.

Hi Donna,

I am so sorry that you have been having so many problems with getting this 
machine running and and that you have to send it back for return.  I am very 
convinced that whatever was trancefered over from your Time Machine backup is 
the proble.  I hope that you are able to get some sort of conciliation out of

I wish you luck with everything.

Hi Donnwa,
Have you tried resetting things and then during the setup, chusing not to 
migrate your settings?  Also, are you tried playing anything to see if by 
chance the sound may be either muted or down in some way?  Just a thoought.  As 
a rool
 Of thumb, I usually do not migrate my things from a backup, but if I need 
something I can just copy it over manually.

Also I was curious about something call CrossOver. It says it will let you run

Subject: Bootable Bigsur Backup?

Hello,
Have any listers successfully created a Bigsure bootable backup on an external 
disk for a 2018 iMac? I used SuperDuper for this for many years on prior Mac/OS 
releases which have rescued my system on several occasions but this no longer 
works on Bigsur. I have looked at the Carbon Copy Cloner web site but this also 
does not seem to easily fix this problem. It seems that I have to first install 
Bigsur on my backup disk so that I can boot from it, but I am then unclear on 
whether I can then use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to add my latest user 
data to this external disk say every month or so. The problem seems to be that 
Apple do not offer an interface for these products to copy the now protected 
files to allow booting to an external disk.
Many thanks for any tips … Paul Hopewell

Hi Christine,
The sidebar for me seems to move  and land on the left or right - this may be 
that I had not made the app full size. But, what I do is VO left arrow or right 
arrow and find it. Sometimes, as I had mentioned, it is all the way to the left

With Catalina it was always in the same position.

Hi,

I am referring to being able to tell the HomePod to play it directly without

play a station on Sirius-xm.  I can tell my Samsung device to do this and 
google speakers can do this after you set it up.  You can not do this on apple

Thanks for the link you sent in another message, I will be responding. My 
problem is that a lot of the stations I want our foreign language. And the 
Amazon devices and the Google devices will play them. Siri won’t. Why not? And 
even HomePod aside, Siri just sends me to the web far too often. Even on the 
watch. That’s ridiculous. Apple bought the leading AI of its time and totally 
lost it. I don’t want apple digging into my privacy matters. So I totally agree 
with you there. But I don’t think you have to know all about me in order to 
play a given radio station in a foreign country that exists on a service with 
which Apple supposedly has connections. It’s just screwed up. This is one area 
where Apple totally lost it. And it’s so sad. The homePod‘s are really nice 
speakers in my opinion.

Well, far be it from me to defend Siri, but she's gotten a lot better, at

might give that another try.

I don't get why some music just won't play, and that's still an issue. I mean, 
it would make sense if they had foreign language titles, but some of the albums 
that give the most trouble don't. I've just solved that by creating  playlist 
with the album, and giving it a different name. But you're right, that 
shouldn't be necessary.

All this said, I don't see how focusing on the Mini is going to fix those 
issues. The albums that won't play on my HomePod, also won't play on the mini.

Hi Donna,
I agree with you with regard to privacy issues. But I honestly don’t think 
Apple has done what they could or should have done with Siri and never mind 
privacy issues. That is, privacy issues shouldn’t matter in these cases. Why, 
for instance, can’t you get radio stations around the world to play reliably? 
Why doesn’t music always play reliably? Why can’t you switch among music 
providers? Apple made a really nice speaker, better than Google certainly, and 
I don’t have the Amazon studio, so I can’t compare. I mean really. HomePod 
aside, Siri still get an awful lot of stuff wrong, and still sends you to the 
web Waymore than it should. Didn’t Apple say that was one of their big focuses 
for this year? Well, they blew it. So now, I have my nice HomePods which may or 
may not ever see any more upgrades. The performance is not reliable. It’s not 
the speaker. It’s the infrastructure. Apple screwed up.

2021-03-15 Thread matthew dyer
Hi, 

My only complante with apple is þ they don't have access to Sirius XM as least 
not through the speaker.  I have considered a google home for that or an amazon 
speaker.

Mini, USA Today

Thanks for the link you sent in another message, I will be responding. My 
problem is that a lot of the stations I want our foreign language. And the 
Amazon devices and the Google devices will play them. Siri won’t. Why not? And 
even HomePod aside, Siri just sends me to the web far too often. Even on the 
watch. That’s ridiculous. Apple bought the leading AI of its time and totally 
lost it. I don’t want apple digging into my privacy matters. So I totally agree 
with you there. But I don’t think you have to know all about me in order to 
play a given radio station in a foreign country that exists on a service with 
which Apple supposedly has connections. It’s just screwed up. This is one area 
where Apple totally lost it. And it’s so sad. The homePod‘s are really nice 
speakers in my opinion.

Hi,

Are you using colom view by chance?  If so, that may be the reason.  What you

Morning everyone!

Please has anyone on here noticed something really annoying in Mail on MacOS 
Big sur.
VoiceOver has started saying Column one then a certain row number.
Is there any way of stopping this?

I've tried looking in VoiceOver utility under verbossity which my friend 
Christopher Hallsworth suggested. I tried unchecking speak column slash row in 
table headers or something like that wording, this didn't make a difference.
Thanks very much.
Look forward to any responses.

Hi!
I am thinking of upgrading to the one of the M1 Macs.
So i am comparing the Mac mini with the MacBook Air.
These are the ones I  want.
The Mac Pro has a Touch Bar so that’s not something I never going to use.
But that’s just me.
aTHey’re a bit to expensive also which is something I have to consider but I am 
a bit wondering.
If I get me a Mac  I would like to have as much storage as possible.
Its going to be quite expensive which is strange as you can by a 2 tb ssd for 
less money if you have a pc.
Anyway I wonder how many USB ports and thunderbolt ports there are on the 
respective Mac mini or MacBook Air.
And if I get a Mac mini I would like to have a good camera so I can use 
together with zoom.
All the best from a cold Sweden.

Re: Dock issue in Big Sur

Hi,

Not sure if this is related, but I am having a problem where voice over 
gets stuck in the music app. Fore example, there are three buttons near 
the top of the window close, minize and fullscreen.  The wayI get around 
it is to restart the app.  If I use the tab key, i can get to some of 
the other items.  VO however does not let me vo past the fullscreen 
button.  Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks.

Anyone here have problems with airplay on there HomePods?

2020-12-17 Thread matthew dyer
Evening all,

For the last few days now I have had problems with airplay not working with the 
homepod.  I usually,ly can get this fixed with a restart of the device.  That 
is by unpluging and pluging in again.  This seems to work fora while but then 
the problem continues.  I do not want to remove it if I don’t have to.  The 
device is running 14.3 according to the home app.  The strange thing is that 
Siri works just fine.  I am able to do things like ask the time and things like 
that.  However restart is not an option  in the settings.  Anyone else seeing 
this lately?  Like I said this has been going on now for some time.  It 
happened to me twice yesterday and now tonight.  I don’t know if pausing and 
playing music has anything else to do with it, but it is really driving me 
crazy and making it very unreliable to use.

Thanks all.

Matthew

Don't bother replacing the speakers. The same thing will happen. Unless they 
have a model specificallyh designed for Apple Mac or IOS devices, I would 
simply return them for a refund and look for a different option.

Best,

Hi Brad and all,

Just tried pair of ear buds with a 3.5 jack and they work fine.  I am incline 
to thingk it is a bad set they gave me since they do not work on any of my 
other devices.  What a shame.  They power up, but they do not show up as an 
option in sound preferences. There is  9only internal speaker, then an empty 
item which vo just says name then airplay device.

I know you said you can see a little green light, so you know the speakers have

I’m wondering if there is a way to make sure there is not a problem with the

Perhaps you could try plugging in a pair of 3.5 mm headphones into the audio 
output jack to see if they will work,, or try a different pair of speakers.

Re: Am I write and thinking that the Mac mini from 2018 does not have a headset jack?

2020-11-14 Thread matthew dyer
Yes and this is a shame as I really want to get thees speakers running on this 
machine.  Oh well I guess I will have to keep hunting for something that works. 
 Like I said I can confirm that they have power.  VO just says name which is 
empty.

VLC not coming through headset but all other audio works just fine.

2020-10-04 Thread matthew dyer
Evening all,

I am wondering if anyone has had the following problem.  

I have a beets solos pro headset which works fine, but there is one problem 
which just started happening the other day and I could not find a fix for this. 
 All audio comes through the headset with no problem that is except audio 
played through VLC media player.  The audio still comes through the internal 
speaker of my Mac mini.  I am running cattlenia. With all updates.  Any way to 
fix this?  I looked in sound preferences and it. Did not see any way to fix it. 
 

THanks.

Matthew

To clarify, you are using a 2018 Mac mini without a monitor.  Are you using a

I have been under the belief that either a monitor must be connected to a Mac

Is it adequate for Voice Over use? Is the volume and sound quality

Thanks in advance for any guidance. I'm contemplating placing an order

I believe there is a function within linux itself that will allow you to from 
the iso create a bootable installer on to a USB device.

I did have one of these a few years back but it was created for me I didn’t do 
it myself.

You can also in the same way install linux on to the USB Flash drive so it is 
bootable as a fully functioning  Usb  linux installation.

I’ve got a feeling ubuntu allow this from their image.

Hi,

You are correct in that it will not be bootable when just copied over.  Sorry, 
making a MacOS installer bootable works for me, but Linux is a different 
animal.  I'm not sure how it can be done.

Tim, I am wanting to make it bootable.  Simply copy and pasting will not do

Writing .iso images to a usb thumb drive in cattleina is this possible?

2020-03-19 Thread matthew dyer
Hi all,

Hope someone can help me with this one since I have looked online for an answer 
but have not found anything that would help.  I am trying to find a way to 
write an iso file to a usb thumb drive that would work with 10.15.3.  I did 
some searching around and found some directions which require converting the 
iso file first, but is there an easier way to do this either with a GUI program 
or through something like DD for example?  If anyone has any idea  it would be 
greatly helpful.

Thanks.

Matthew

Hi listers,

I remember in the past using the control key to stop VO from talking.  
Than a second press to start speech again.

In the last two operating systems I don’t seem to be able to do this any 
longer.  Am I missing something?

In most cases when I press the control key  VO just keeps talking and than at 
the end says control.  This is because I have the modifier keys set to speak 
when pressed.

So, for example in mail I may press down arrow to hear a message and then want 
to stop speech with control.  I press it and it just keeps talking.

Is there another key now to obtain silence and then return to speech?
A little more experimentation is indicating to me that if I turn VO off and on 
again the function seems to work again for a time.

Are others experiencing the same?

I find I have to toggle VO off and on a lot lately to get it to work correctly. 
This happens a lot when editing text in mail.

Guys,
I almost never post here.  I’ve just noticed that one of the mailing lists to 
which I subscribe is having its posts always sent to the Junk box in Mac aMail. 
 I have no idea why.  I’ve been a member of this list for years and this 
behavior seems to have just started within the last week.  I’ve tried 
correcting it through both the Gmail web interface and Mac Mail without 
success.  No idea what to do.
Sorry if I’m not giving you enough information.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I like the mini 4 only because it is the only iPad I have used,
except for the mini 3. Just took a quick look at specs and prices. The
mini 5 might do well. I'm getring used to the BT keyboard which can
connect to up to 3 devices. And there is iCloud Drive so all devices can
share.

Given the difference in cost between Pro and mini, I can live with
the mini. I don't know what chip the mini 4 has but my iPhone 8 has it
beat. :) Ok found the chip. Yes the mini 5 will almost match the iPhone
8. Close enough.

Thanks Simon. Appreciate the overview.

Re: Question about mouse click on the Mac

2019-12-26 Thread matthew dyer
Hi,

Could you not try a vo-shift-space?  Is that not  a simulation of a mouse 
click? Thanks:

if I had one but I don’t. And I don’t really want to mess with a mouse for one 
little problem. I just got a Google home speaker and I am really fascinated 
with it but I would like to sign up for something that will make it so that I 
can ask for songs individually. The problem is that I have to change my 
password. That usually is no big deal but this one has a link which it demands 
I click. I can’t find a way of clicking this link on my Mac. Since I have no 
Mouse I would have to do it using the keyboard but I don’t know how to do that. 
Is there a keyboard command that will act like a mouse click on the Mac? I know 
there is on the windows computer and I have a Windows computer but it gave me 
so many problems I have pretty well trashed it and I wouldn’t like to try to 
get it up just to solve this problem.

RE: downloading Mac OS Mojave

2019-11-25 Thread matthew dyer
Hi all,

While we are on the subject, I have a mac mini from 2018 and I need to get into 
the recovery partition to enable booting from external drives, but I am finding 
that using cmd+R is not working for some reason.  Anyone else having  issues 
with this?  I do not have a motor connected nore do I have one to connect if 
that matter.  If I do the cmd+R at boot, it just goes strate to the standered 
hd mac os partition.  Any ideas on this one.  I am using mac os 10.15.1.  
Thanks.

I’m using cmd r not cmd option r so it’s getting Yosemite from some where.

Either way it’s bloody slow downloading and I’ll run with it now and see what

Hi,

If it is trying to install Yosemite, then it is most likely using an Internet 
Recovery option instead of the local recovery partition.  I did state the 
commands incorrectly in my last post, it should be cmd-option-r for Internet 
recovery.

Hi Ann,

Well it turns out I’ve solved the problem and well it’s simply a timing issue.

 I used the cmd r option again and just gave it more time.

Then got voiceover up and running.

Note this is a 2015 13inch mac book pro with custom specs


I had Mojave running on it before I wiped it last week,

However when doing cmd r it turns out it’s trying to now install Yosemite hence 
the speed of the installation over internet seems to be a bit slower than 
average

Thanks for the ideas though,

try to run them.

I’m not wanting to install Catalina as the machine is being used as a server 
and my server version is for Mojave so I need to install that before updating.

Anyone got an installer I can grab a copy of or other ideas on how to get this 
thing setup?

Cheers.

CCC backups give an error during an auto backup.

2019-10-19 Thread matthew dyer
Hi all,

I am using CCC (carbon copy cloner) and have  a scedualed backup which takes 
place dayly.  Lastnight I had to do it manually since the auto backup 
compleated with errors.  Any one using this program have any ideas on how to 
get around this.  

On another note, I noticed on my Mac mini 2018  will not boot into recovery.  I 
need to do this to enable external drive boot.  When I use cmd+R to get into 
recovery, the system just boots back into the main system.  An I doing 
something wrong?  

Thanks.

Matthew
