    Cant access Mac shared folder from Android or Linux client but works from an iPad.

    Hello. After a while, I'm back on a Mac and refreshing my skills. I currently have a Studio running Sequoia and I am having weird issues with sharing a folder in my Mac. I already followed the Apple instructions here (which by the way, are incorrect) ...

    Resolved Firefox found pre-installed on 'new' Macbook Pro? (Nah, it's all good!)

    Final Update: I spoke with an AppleCare manager and he said that while the M4 started distribution in 2024, our model may have been assembled in late 2025. So we bought a late model ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Good enough resolution. The Apple guy also said that the 'drag to install' window is added by the...

    macOS Change system sound effects in Sequoia?

    My tech-inept friend finally upgraded from a 2015 Mackbook Pro with Mavericks to a 2024 M4 running Sequoia. She is very visual & auditory and we would like to know if the system sounds can be changed (listed below). Copilot says that Apple locked-down those sound effects & I would need to break...

    Greetings! I have a MacBook Pro 2019 i9 with Radeon Pro 5500M graphics running Sequoia 15.7.4 and LG 4K external display connected. I experience a dock glitch when using external display - a semitransparent square rectangle appears below dock icons when I minimize application windows...

    Imagine how snappy MacBook Neo with Sequoia would be

    The biggest downside (other than no backlit keys) is having to live with Tahoe on the Neo. Do you think Apple has done enough optimization for this device to avoid a terrible "Windows Aero on a Celeron" experience?

    For heavy Lightroom users: Tahoe or Sequoia?

    Hey, people. For those photographers out there using Lightroom professionally, do you feel any difference from Sequoia to Tahoe or vice-versa? I actually do, since I'm running a M5 Macbook with Tahoe (24GB RAM) and a M4 Mac Studio with Sequoia (48GB RAM). I completely dislike everything about...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Not Booting After Installation Issue — 3 Days of Frustration, Please Help (5,1)

    Hello, I recently decided to move both of my working MacPro 5,1 machines from Monterey to Sequoia, using OCLP. At first, I installed Sequoia over Monterey, then I decided to do a full wipe. That full wipe worked. Where I messed up is I thought it would be faster to use the Inateck...

    Sonoma loses Access to Network Shares

    Last week my Mac Studio on Sonoma 14.4.1 lost access to all network shares hosted on a Synology NAS running DSM 6.2. I suspect it was caused by a security update which brought my system to 14.7.3 although I can't be 100% sure about that. Anyway, I do think the issue rests with the Mac Studio...

    Any way to prevent the "Incompatible disk" warning on dual boot MacOS?

    I would like to run Mojave (for some old 32-bit software) and Sequoia in dual boot on my iMac. I erased my drive and created two separate APFS containers and installed Mojave on the first one with no problems. Then I installed Sequoia on the second APFS container and it also works flawlessly...

    Upgrade to Tahoe?

    Hi, after all the fuss around Tahoe and all those negative comments, I'm wondering whether to update to Tahoe or not. I have MacBook Air M2 and in Sequoia. It's stable for me and working great. So my question is how stable is Tahoe for you? what about battery life?

    Install Sequoia to USB drive and keep Tahoe on internal

    For development and testing purposes I have to have a macOS Sequoia instance with Xcode being able to build locally (to macOS target). For this I wanted to install Sequoia into an USB drive attached to my M1 MBP. I am not new to OS installs, done this since 23 years now, but this one got me, so...

    Sequoia cannot be installed on M5 Macbook. Silly me.

    I'm glad you cannot be killed by regret. Bought a brand new M5 Macbook Pro and for the third time I really tried to use Tahoe. Gave up. Erased everything and voilà, you cannot clean install anything but Tahoe. Thanks, Apple. Really silly, but I guess stupidity is on me for not asking first at...

    Weird thing happening in Sequoia when I start typing, but only on non admin accounts

    My partner was trying to do some work yesterday, but noticed that after entering one or two character in any text field, the window of whichever app she was trying to work in 'rejected' the input. To try and describe it, the window goes into the same state it would if you had clicked another...

    How to delete old app versions? No, really.

    Updating 3rd-party apps usually gets rid of previous versions of that app, as confirmed by only the most current versions showing up in the Applications folder. On my M4 mac mini running Sequoia however, if I right-click a file name, a list of potential apps to open that file opens up. In that...

    Hey everyone. I'm running a 5.1 classic Mac Pro with an RX580 8GB Sapphire, OCLP 2.4.1, and MacOS Sequoia (the same problem was also present under Ventura). I'm facing a problem after replacing my old HD 5770 with an RX 580. It seems like any vector graphics in Chromium-based apps completely...

    Here's what happens when you mirror a new iPhone to a non-updated Mac...

    On my M1 MacBook Air, I recently set up iPhone Mirroring with my new iPhone 17. My Mac (I know, I need to update) is running Sequoia 15.4.1, obviously predating the 17s. So I expected iPhone Mirroring to either throw up an error or be really glitched - but it isn't. It works perfectly. Except...
