    SwiftAudioPlayer - open source music player [WIP]

    Hello, This is a project I created a few months ago to teach myself how to program stuff for macOS in Swift. I decided to share this at an early stage because it might be interesting for some people (especially new developers) to see a new project grow over time from the beginning. I'm also...

    Red button preferred behaviour

    I'm observing that each time a new app comes to the Mac platform, the behaviour of the red button is more like the Windows one: killing the app. This thread is on Mohave sub-forum for a reason: the last incorporated apps from Apple, like the Voice Memos app or the Home app, which come directly...

    Is there a means of seeing how many automatic updates are being installed on the public betas? I ask as I have submitted two tickets through Feedback Assistant with regards to Messages.

    Can't boot from time machine disk

    According to the last bullet on this page, external drives containing time machine backup should be bootable and appear as EFI Boot on the Startup Manager screen. My MBP late 2011 is running lion 10.7.5. I formatted a new external hard drive to HFS+ encrypted by erasing the drive using disk...

    Safari CPU Usage at about 100%

    Since I updated to macOS 10.13.5 my Safari CPU usage always jumps to roughly 100%, freezing Safari and spinning up the fans. Anybody experiencing similar issues? I have tried deactivating all extensions with no luck.

    Disk Utility Formatting Mojave Drive

    After installing beta 2, I started having most of my built in MacOS applications crash with minimal use (without any obvious reason). Upon running disk utility, I found that my drive had been corrupted by the new install. I attempted a repair with no success. But... no big deal, it’s time to...

    Can you run Mohave only from a USB drive?

    This might be a dumb question...can i run the public beta of Mohave from a USB thumbdrive only (and not install it on my computer at all?) Yes, I checked my friend Google, but couldn't find a definitive answer...

    Issue with my 1tb Fusion Drive

    Guys, I think I really messed up. A while ago I installed windows 10 onto my 27 inch, 1tb iMac (2017) and everything was working as expected. Then I decided to update to the beta version of macOS Mojave and everything was working as expected. But today when I wanted to boot into windows 10...
