I'm on macOS Monterrey 12.6.8. Every now and then for a second or two I see a Finder window pop up, I think related to the security settings, mentioning that it is checking OneDrive.app. I have Microsoft Office 365 installed but I don't personally use the OneDrive app (I very occasionally use...

This thread probably shouldn’t even exist, but maybe it ought to. :) Have you run into quirks in macOS/OS X which hint at residual, surviving code from as far back as the Mac OS Classic days? :) I just found one! In High Sierra, importing images from a device in Image Capture (an application...

Hello everyone! I have a 13" MacBook Pro from mid-2012 (2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 dual-core; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) and I'm undecided on which macOS will be best. As the last natively compatible version is Catalina - a now-discontinued software, with no more security updates and some...
