Time Machine "no backups for xxx" warning
For a long time, if no TM backups were done for X days, then TM would tell you, remind you that you haven't backup up for X days. Recently we have noticed that these warnings are no longer

Time Machine working
I had requested help with Time Machine which refused to backup to my LaCie drive because it had become unencrypted. So I followed suggestions from the group to first of all to turn off Filevault

Well, I finally bought a new 16¡± MBP this morning. ?I¡¯ve had a number of hardware and software issues with my old 2010 17¡± MBP lately, but another unexpected crash on it this morning was the

Re: MacPro 2019 Back Home
I¡¯ll bet that lots of Mac users have never opened Disk Utility. I know I¡¯m quibbling about minor things, but why not display two icons in the Finder. It¡¯s like a politician not being consistent

Re: MacPro 2019 Back Home
Howdy. Jim, you make some good points but I think I would dispute your criticism of the two partitions of the SSD boot drive. It keeps system stuff separate from your files, documents, images, etc.,

Re: MacPro 2019 Back Home
If it¡¯s too much effort, you can send me that paperweight. I¡¯ll even pay the postage! ? Seriously, I know how frustrating this must be, especially leveraged against the size of your investment!

Howdy. I wrote earlier about a problem with the new MacPro 2019. Couldn't boot in Recovery or from an external boot drive. Took it to an Apple Store last Friday. I went back to Apple Store and picked

Re: Oddity in Finder window in Catalina
That¡¯s essentially what I said. What I wasn¡¯t certain about was whether there were 2 copies of each of the core Apple ¡°part of the standard OS installation¡± applications. Thanks to Bev and

Re: New Web Site!
If you have 2 factor authentication turned on, that will be why thunderbird can¡¯t get in. You need to setup a special password on iCloud and copy that to Thunderbird. And your iCloud mail password

Re: Oddity in Finder window in Catalina
Regardless of which partition you are looking at, your ID does not have write permission to the root folder. Having such permissions could easily create a dangerous situation. I¡¯m stuck back on High

Re: Thunderbird and other 3rd party email apps... require an app-specific password
Hi JR! Thx so much for the detailed response. I had no idea that needed to be done. There is nothing in the installation procedure that says anything about that. I¡¯ll give this new procedure a try.

Re: Oddity in Finder window in Catalina
Howdy. I tried to find a reason for the two Mac HDs in Sidebar. No idea unless you dragged them there yourself. However, Right click each one and pick remove from Sidebar. I'd then restart. You can

If I¡¯m going to ask for help, I certainly should ask accurate questions. Sorry, I did not. As my screenshot indicates, the two iterations of "Macintosh HD¡± are listed as they are on your Mac,

I¡¯ve never used Thunderbird, but this is the case as well for the BusyMac applications (BusyCal, Busy Contacts). At least for those apps, the publisher is VERY explicit, both in the documentation
