Hi All Trust you all are well and safe. I want to record Mac screen along with internal audio + use my headset with mic for commenting. The native macOS app - Screenshot records the screen, but will not include the audio. 1) If it can be done using the native app - please inform me the...

If you use Apple Silicon-powered Macs with some third-party monitors the results can be quite disappointing: text and icons can appear too tiny or blurry, or the available resolutions are lower than what the displays are actually capable of. BetterDummy to rescue! There is an interview with...

There is a need to completely reinstall the system on my MacBook Air M1. Did a return from Monterey to BigSur via an installation from an external drive, but I suspect the process didn't go quite right. Now here's a question - does it make sense to do a system reinstall via DFU mode using a...

Since setting up my new M1 8C CPU 8C GPU iMac on Saturday, twice now in the last 4 days, the machine has just kind of "freaked out." The first time I was in the middle of a document and the screen went black and the mac rebooted. The second time the screen went all purple (magenta) and then...

Hello everyone, My past few days have been really frustration with the issues I'm facing with my MacBook Air 2019 128 GB Variant. I recently installed Big Sur and ever since that time my MacBook loses audio all of a sudden while working, the only way around to get rid of it is shutting down...

I post this just for the information that might be useful to someone with a similar problem. The troubleshooting took me many days; I'm not proud of that, but it may help others. My Epson WF-4530, connected via LAN, had worked flawlessly with my iMac for years. Suddenly a few weeks ago...

I recently installed SwitchRes X on my MacBook air (using macOS Big Sur, not M1), and it was going fine until I created a custom sized display and used it, and then my screen went black. I tried to fix it, but nothing worked but plugging it into an external monitor, which actually made the...

Hi everyone! My early 2015 MB Pro has been unhappy since I updated last week. It is crashing frequently, particularly it seems when I'm teaching classes on Zoom, but other times as well. I've done all of the usual things - ran diagnostics (no hardware issues), disk repair, PRAM reset, etc...

Hi all, So I updated to OS Big Sur on my 2015 (I believe) MacBook Pro 13" last night all downloaded ok. Restarted to install, got right to the end and comes up with a start up disc error. Won't let me do anything and the harddrive isn't displayed on the screen. Tried booting it into recovery...

Hi all, After updating to Big Sur, I found out that my Macintosh HD hard drive is now split in two Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data At first I thought everything was working properly but then I realized they are actually the same hard drive. I can't find my second hard drive which is...

So, I'm an editor for some buddies of mine who vlog. I noticed that our 4k videos look kinda grainy after exporting, but I save them in the highest quality possible. For instance, there's a video I helped film on vacation with them and I noticed that one of the first scenes is crystal clear...

I've noticed that after updating to Big Sur (11.0.1), my 2018 MBP takes a couple of minutes to start charging its battery after I plug in the apple power cable. Although it chimes when I plug it in, the power indicator switches to an icon with a power plug and says not charging and only after a...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if an M1 owner could test out if GZDoom is able to run under Rosetta 2. GZDoom is a free x86 OpenGL source port for the original Doom (1993). You can download it from here: https://zdoom.org/downloads In order to get Doom running with GZDoom, you'll also need...

Only web pages can be translated. I thought I was reading that iOS apps would be usable on Big Sur and iOS 14 has Translate. I guess I conflated some ideas.

Hi, The Music App stop recognizing my iTunes folder, prior to yesterday every time I drag a new song into the Music app, the file was moved into the ~/iTunes/iTunes Medias/Music/.
