Re: A question for classical music lovers
HI
Here’s an article on using Apple Screenshot and Quicktime to record video...
If you are using Firefox or Chrome, there is a extension Video Downloader Helper which probable will capture the stream for you.
You certainly can capture it for your own enjoyment.

Re: A question for classical music lovers
Such software exists, but someone else will have to advise you as I’ve never done it. Good luck!

Re: A question for classical music lovers
Jim,
This is available on DVD, which strikes me as the simplest route:
https://a.co/d/ahKROul
Also, depending on where you're located, it may be worth checking with your local library. Here in Michigan, an online network of more than 400 public libraries shares amongst their members (a fantastic resource). It looks like one library has Symphony 2 on VHS; another has #1-3 on DVD; and a third has the complete set of 9 DVDs. Worth a shot with your own library, maybe?

Re: Browsers, headers, and footers
It looks to me like there are headers on the Sequoia page but they’re zoomed out ?of the printable area. ?You can see the page number, and the very bottom of the title. ?Can you adjust the print settings to reduce the size of the page, and see if it fits??

Browsers, headers, and footers
This is a first world problem, and I’ve found a workaround, but I’m curious about other people’s experience.
I’ve long known that I can’t get headers and footers on printouts of web pages with all browsers. You’d think that all browsers would give me headers and footers, but not all of them do, even when I check the “headers and footers” box. Browsers built on the Chromium code base are especially bad in this regard. Firefox does reliably give me headers and footers, but other than that, it renders pages in ways I don’t like.
I often print out pages from the Seattle Times, my local paper, and the Washington Post. In a case like this, I definitely want headers and footers so I can put the pages back in sequence if I drop them. Under MacOS 10.13.6, Safari gave me headers and footers on printouts from these two sites. On my new M4 Mac mini running Sequoia 15.2, no headers and footers, even though I check the appropriate box when printing out an article—see the attached PDFs.
Fortunately I found a workaround. I’ve had iCab browser, for which I bought a license, on my system for years, but used it only occasionally. I’ve discovered that it does give headers and footers on both the Seattle Times and the Washington Post. All well and good, but it’s a bit frustrating that I have to use a certain browser to get functionality that all browsers should have.
Has anyone had better luck getting headers and footers?

Re: Mac mini M4 Hub and Stand!
I just watched a rather good review of this hub & stand by Craig Neidle:
Basically, * The drive comes with a single, flathead screwdriver; however, the plate that covers the SSD slot has Phillips screws. ?If you use the supplied screwdriver on those screws, then you can strip them. ?Instead use a Phillips screw driver and there should be no problem.
* He tried several different SSD brands: - WD SN770 NVMe: He couldn't get this one to work, even though it works well elsewhere. ?He could not determine why. ?One commenter said that he also couldn't get a WD SSD ?to work in a different hub & stand. ? - A Samsung EVO Plus and an Orico 07000 M.2 both worked very well. ?Others may work just as well.
* He tested for the aforementioned (by others in this thread) wi-fi slowdown problem, and found it to be minimal in his situation.?

For those of you who purchased the almost irresistible M4 Macintosh mini, you might find this hub/stand to be the perfect thing to go with it.
The hub/stand fits under your mini, and it provides the missing USB-A ports that you will likely need to attach legacy printers and scanners. ?Plus it allows you to add an internal NVME SSD (including up to a wildly fast 40Gbps NVME), perfect for those who purchased the base-spec Mac mini!

Apple support do not ‘hear’ when I press number 1.
It seems I am not alone in this. ?A search for the answer shows many people have been asking, for a long time, all over Apple community.
?
One schedules a support call, when Apple calls they ask you to press 1 to show you are ready. ?They never ?‘hear’ this response however many times it is done. Eventually they go away……
?
I have tried with Bluetooth on or off, by waiting till the Apple response finishes and then pressing 1. ?Nothing seems to work.
?
Does anyone have an answer that works?
?

Not without physically damaging the enclosure by breaking seals, and that is assuming it’s the enclosure that has failed, and not the internal drive. It’s usually the enclosure that fails.
In theory, you could expose it to a very, very strong magnetic field but it needs to be VERY strong. Like lifting cars in a junk yard strong, or running it through an MRI. And you’ll have no way to check if it worked.
The other way you are nearly 100% sure the data will never be accessed is to send the drive back to Amazon where it will likely be lost in bureaucratic black hole.

A few months ago I purchased two Segate external HDs for my MBP. I designated one as my Time Machine B/U on one partition and additional storage on another partition. I haven’t plugged in the second HD yet.
Two days ago the drive I had plugged in just quit. Nada. Nothing. Even disk utility can’t see it. The power light is on but there’s no access. I even tried swapping cables to see if it was a cable issue. No joy.
I’m going to return the drive to Amazon and demand a refund. But I’m concerned about all the data on the drive. Since I can’t access it, I can’t erase it. Outside of taking a sledge hammer or a .45 to it is there anything I can do to prevent the data from being accessed?

Time Machine backups are best made to a reliable external drive that is 2-3 times larger than the amount of data you are going to be backing up to it.
I have an external drive box with multiple drives in it; since I have a 2TB internal SSD, I make Time Machine backups to TWO 4TB drives (alternating every hour), and also make occasional *bootable clone* backups to two other 2TB drives.

Inherit legacy Time Machine backups with new Mac
When I
connected my Time Machine drive (previously used with my 2012 Intel Mac
and formatted HFS+) to my new M4
Mac running Sequoia 15.2, I
got a popup asking me what I wanted to do about the existing backups on
the drive. I don't remember all the choices, but I wonder if I made the
wrong choice. Here's a screen shot of the Time Machine driver in
Finder:
"Andrew Buc's computer" is the old Mac, "Mac mini" is the new one. A
problem soon cropped up: Time Machine doesn't recognize the legacy
backups, and there's very little space on the drive for new ones. Time
Machine made 3 backups and refuses to make any more. I thought Time
Machine would seamlessly delete the oldest backups and make new ones,
but not so. My local Mac tech referred me to this page:
The pertinent section is "Forcing a Mac to inherit a backup." They tell
you to enter this command in terminal:
sudo
tmutil inheritbackup
I couldn't get it to work. My tech later reported back as follows:
I nterestingly, I just did a test as
Disk Utility in Sequoia can reformat a disk to be HFS+. When I then use
that disk as a time machine destination, the disk gets reformatted as
APFS. If there's existing data on it, and then I try to set up Time
Machine, I only get the choice to erase the disk or use a different
volume.
I wonder if something has
changed and we won't be able to use the Time Machine inherit command. I
admit it's been years since I've attempted it.
If the tech is right, I expect I'll have to format the Time
Machine drive and start fresh. As I write this, I'm copying the "Andrew
Buc's computer" folder to a spare external HDD I had lying around. If I
ever have to restore an old file from that drive, I'll have to rummage
through the drive with Finder, but it'll be better than nothing.
Any thoughts before I throw in the towel and format the Time Machine
Drive? Thanks.

Most of the printers I’ve used with my Macs have been by Canon, and I’ve been pleased with them. My current Canon TR8620a is 3 months old. But I’ve also had two Brother inkjet printers, which I liked.

Good idea. Of course, there’s also the Apple Watch “workout” app. Do you know whether the watchOS Strava, MapMyWalk, and Workout apps can all interact with the GPS sensors in the watch via BT simultaneously?
