Song unavailable dialogue

It just popped up a ton after updating to 18.2 which is obviously irritating when I’m trying to do something else and haven’t touched the music app. I’m guessing it’s trying to download songs attached to an old iTunes ID I don’t use anymore. Does that sound right? Any idea how to find those songs and delete them from my library? submitted by /u/ralthor09 [link] [comments]

i noticed that if you unsend a message or edit a message it’ll notify the other person that you did those actions and i was wondering if it would notify someone if i deleted their message? i’m low on storage and want to go through and delete some large data messages without deleting a whole conversation is that a possibility? submitted by /u/Front-League-5996 [link] [comments]

Question about iOS security
by Guest /u/Loud-Fisherman876- 0 replies
- 11 views
I read something on X about iOS being vulnerable and the post included a recommendation of downloading a certain app from the AppStore to "check" for security vulnerabilities on your device. As the gullible idiot I am, I downloaded this app from the AppStore and before I opened the app it struck me that this could poentially be a Trojan Horse. I immediately deleted it. How likely is it that my device may be compromised? I did not grant it permission or even open it. P.S. I do not want to name the app so to not promote potential harm. submitted by /u/Loud-Fisherman876 [link] [comments]

can't disable bold text in Books "custom text" if accessibility boldness is on
by Guest /u/merlincycle- 0 replies
- 10 views
I suspect this is working as designed.. if so I will send apple feedback. To be more specific: I have Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Bold Text enabled, for my whole device. But if i open any book in Apple Books, regardless of font chosen, the text will be bold, even if Themes & Settings -> Customize -> Bold Text is turned off. ? Thx! submitted by /u/merlincycle [link] [comments]

Adding calendar item using text file in .ics format
by Guest /u/El_Mec- 0 replies
- 26 views
I used ChatGPT to create a calendar item (in .ics format) from a table of events. It seems to be a text file so I am unable to figure out how to add it to my calendar. Any ideas? Usually when I open an .ics file it adds automatically to the calendar but doesn’t seem to because ChatGPT made a text file using .ics syntax. https://imgur.com/a/Z8FDPOF View: https://imgur.com/a/Z8FDPOF submitted by /u/El_Mec [link] [comments]

People still rocking the original M1 (not pro), what do you do with your laptop and how is it holding up?
by Guest /u/Potential-Ant-6320- 0 replies
- 9 views
When these machines came out we all thought these could safely be used for me very day work flows for ten years. We’re four years in. Besides running out of ram, does anything feel slow? My only complaint is when I compress the video from zoom meeting it will only use a few cores and I have to wait a few minutes. I’m curious what other people do with their M1s and how it’s going. submitted by /u/Potential-Ant-6320 [link] [comments]

Small business. Only 30 computer users. No special apps outside M365. Our ERP is in the cloud and web-based. Will a Mac really last much longer than a PC before having to upgrade? Are the upfront costs justified if the goal is reducing overall computer costs over time? submitted by /u/EN344 [link] [comments]

Hey friends, I’m dealing with a pretty weird issue on my 13-inch 2011 MacBook Pro. When I try to access Internet Recovery, it shows the symbol, but the connection options never appear. Instead, I just get the error: -6002F. Does anyone know what this could be and how to fix it? submitted by /u/cerebrointegral [link] [comments]

"How to Automatically Sort Clips Chronologically in Final Cut Pro?"
by Guest /u/Additional-Reason308- 0 replies
- 10 views
When editing videos, I sometimes shoot with both a smartphone and a camera. In Final Cut Pro, I want to arrange all the clips on the timeline in chronological order based on when they were recorded. For example: Smartphone clip 1 was recorded at 9:00 AM Camera clip 2 was recorded at 9:04 AM Smartphone clip 3 was recorded at 9:15 AM Camera clip 4 was recorded at 9:20 AM When I import these files into Final Cut Pro, I want them to automatically be arranged as Clip 1 → Clip 2 → Clip 3 → Clip 4. The issue is that when I view the files in Finder on my MacBook, the videos are grouped by device type. Smartphone clips are sorted by time within their group, and came…

I feel so stupid... Give me a real time machine
by Guest /u/AdBusiness8103- 0 replies

I feel so so so so stupid right now.... Yesterday I sat and looked at my old time machine copies and wanted to make a new safety copy of my laptop. I thought that I might as well delete some of the old ones to make space. So I googled to see how to do it right, found an article and followed that. Everything worked fine, old ones got deleted, and a new copy was in the making. Now to the part that makes me feel stupid... When I sat down and looked at the time machine files I thought that I should check that everything is still there, and drum roll --- no. Almost everything in the two latest copies was gone. All the old pictures that I was so happy to have found are now …

2020 iMac USB 3.1 to OWC enclosure
by Guest /u/Vmanjeff- 0 replies
- 10 views
I have an OWC Express 1M2 with a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB PCIe Gen4 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD inside. Attached to the iMac 3.1 USB port. Speed tests show 420mbps write/read where the 3.1 USB spec shows I should be getting faster speeds. I get I’ll probably not get 10gbps but I would expect higher speeds. I’m getting the same speeds from the NVMe drive as I’m getting from the 1Tb SSD attached. What am I missing? Is more info needed? I’m already using the T3 ports so they are out for this use. submitted by /u/Vmanjeff [link] [comments]

13” M2 MBA to 16” M4 Pro; thinking about it
by Guest /u/Apart-Status9082- 0 replies
- 8 views
My usecase is programming work. I don't run LLMs locally but I do a fair bit of compiling and also multi core batch processing (of videos). Current limitations are: slow disk (I hadn't checked that at all before buying), heating up during what I'd call modest compiles, lack of real estate on the screen. The current machine has 16GB ram, and it's not a bottleneck for me, so the base 24GB should be fine. The 16" M4 Pro would likely be a noticeable upgrade for me. I also don't move this around much, except between the desk and the sofa/bed... so the only downside is, my mba probably won't sell for much, although it's in great condition, and the pro is not a cheap ma…

USB Hub for Macbook Air
by Guest /u/Fickle_Ad_9686- 0 replies
- 11 views
I've purchased a Dell G2724D monitor that I would like to use as the main display for my Macbook Air M1 2020. Since the laptop has only 2 ports, with one being used for the charger, I require a USB hub to connect the USB receiver for a wireless keyboard, as well as a Displayport connection to the monitor. I would like to use the monitor at its full capacity (1440p at 165hz). Any recommendations for a USB hub that I could use? submitted by /u/Fickle_Ad_9686 [link] [comments]

Desktop vs laptop cooling

Both have used Fan Control for assurance. Obviously M chips are much more capable/efficient in comparison to Intel but in the pursuit of thinness, MacBooks (especially the Air) were horribly designed inside. submitted by /u/Ok_Chocolate3253 [link] [comm…

M4 mini storage opinion
by Guest /u/doncoco7- 0 replies
- 10 views
Hi, I’m considering buying an M4 Mac Mini and would like some advice. I already own an M1 MacBook Pro (personal use) and plan to get the base M4 Mac Mini (256GB SSD) since I have a Samsung T9 external SSD. My idea is to store personal files on the external SSD for easy sharing between the MacBook and Mac Mini. (I mean in case of need, plug and go) I mainly use my Mac for coding (iOS dev, Xcode for personal projects) and daily tasks. However, I’m unsure if frequently switching the external SSD between the two Macs will be inconvenient. My MacBook Pro has 512GB storage with about 160GB free, mostly occupied by personal files that I could optimize. I’ve avoided carr…
