    Resolved What does this icon (command symbol within a window) in the menu bar mean?

    In MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019, macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.7), I see an icon on the righthand side of the menu bar. Clicking on it showed the pinwheel for a long time. Eventually it went away, but the system was sluggish. And I had to Force Quit the system to restart. The icon I am talking...

    Installer for Catalina

    Is the Installer for Catalina still available? When I go to the App store, it doesn't show up in the Search. I downloaded it at one time, but it's not listed in my Purchased Apps. There are some links found on a Google search. When I click on them, they bring up Big Sur download. Thanks.

    CONFOOSED about system files in "restore" and system DOWN-grade

    I apologize. I have looked a zillion places and read a zillion articles. If there is one that addresses this head-on, I've not found it; hence this query. • Backed-up entire internal drive, with Catalina OS installed, to external drive using CCC • Will install larger SSD in place of current...

    MacOS can't be recovered; stuck on progress bar

    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me figure out my issue because even the Apple Phone Support guy couldn't. I have a very old MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid-2012 (10,1) that stopped starting up. Nothing I tried worked so I gave up on it and used my iMac and iPad mainly. Months later, I decided I...

    Boot Mojave SSD from Catalina MBP?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro, which I intended to downgrade to Mojave. However, clearly it can't since it shipped with Catalina. So, I thought of making a clone of my old MacBook Air hard drive which is Mojave, just to boot from when I need some older apps. Is this as simple and...

    Apple Music crashes all the time, since 10.15.7 (19H512) update (?)

    It didn't crash immediately after the security patch installation so I don't know whether it has anything to do with that. Anyhow, I cannot play music anymore (for longer than perhaps a few minutes) from the iCloud. Any ideas what might cause this? I'm running late 2013 iMac and can't upgrade to...

    Upgrade/Downgrade between Mojave and Catalina (incl Bootcamp); user folder on external SSD

    Hi, I would like to upgrade from Mojave to Catalina (or Big Sur), but am a bit reluctant to do so because of Catalina's weird new dual-volume HD-Setup. (Guess Big Sur needs the same HD structure, right?) Main reason to upgrade is because of the sidecar feature (don't want to get an Astropad...

    Hi all, I want to restore my Mac to my last Time Machine backup of Catalina. I'm currently on Big Sur and don't want to lose any new data since upgrading.
