Re: Photo folders in 27 inch iMac
I am not using any app. Funny thing is that many of the folders are just as they should be, But the one I use to post to Flickr is not. I am wondering if I should just set up a new folder and transfer them. I send the pics over there, But making a duplicate, and dragging that copy into the folder. I have always done that with no problems till now

Jeannie,
You need to tell us which app you are using.
Otto I recently bought a 27 inch Imac. Previously I had a Mac Pro with 2 monitors. When I would look into a photo folder all the photos were contained within the width of the folder, and I only had to scroll down to see all of them. Now with the 27 inch iMac, I also have to scroll across the width. The only way I can see the images entirely within the width is if I make them so small that I can not really see them. I asked a friend of mine with just a 27 inch monitor, as well as another friend who also has a 27 inch Imac, and they do not have this problem. I have tried everything. When I was speaking to a technician at Apple , he said he had never heard of this, and he had no solution for me.I have tried everything within the view options, But nothing so far has worked
Does anyone have any idea about a fix?

You need a connection from your Mac to the Apple servers. If you only have Wi-Fi on your Mac, that is what you must use. If you?have an ethernet port on your Mac, or a Thunderbolt-Ethernet adapter, you can connect to your router using a cable.?

Re: it’s like a horror movie: my system files have eaten up my boot drive!
Both seem to be procedure that ate more recent, than my MBP can upgrade to, but I appreciate the knowledge.

Mid afternoon today I found myself in a Missoula tea room waiting for my spouse. No WiFi, no power adapter, but enough flat space for me to knock out a few emails.
I opened my late 2017 MacBook Pro (15 inch, 4 core i7, 512 GByte SSD, 1g GB RAM, Touch Bar/4 TB3 ports, macOS 10.14.6, only to discover an onscreen message “your Mac has been restarted because of a problem” (I’ve seen that on screen only rarely in the past).
The internal SSD is about 60% full. I had 8-10 apps running, including several tabs in Safari that displayed auto-updating many-layered USGS and Sonoma County emergency services maps displaying fire perimeter, MODIS data from USGS mapping Satellites, CalTrans and Sonoma County Sheriff’s evacuation maps (memory intensive).
My SSD is encrypted by FileVault2.
I dismissed the message as an oddity and tried to type an email message, but within a minute or two, the computer restarted, with the same message repeated.
I tried booting into Safe Mode (mistakenly, I went first to Single User Mode and realized I’d get nowhere with the command line stuff spewing across the screen). However, I couldn’t get Safe Mode to boot to completion, so I gave up and waited until I was home to trouble shoot more. There, with the power adapter plugged in, I was able to get into Safe Mode and run Disk Utiliity. I read a bit and came across recommendations that I should boot into the recovery partition and run Disk Utility. So, I did that. My encrypted boot partition passed, but when I tried to run Disk Utility on the other partitions on the SSD, I was told about some errors or corruption that might affect booting. A bit more “research” and I uncovered some instructions about unlocking the encrypted disk by mounting the “wrapper” (my term, not Apple’s) partitions first.
Following those instructions, I was able to unlock those pre-boot partitions and run Disk Utility, which now reported NO errors.
I restarted the Mac, logged back into my admin account, and I’ve had no problems over about 3 hours on the computer this evening.
Is it likely there are problems left I don’t recall seeing ANY messages stating that anything had been repaired.

Is the SSD extremely full?
It sounds to me as though there is some problem with the internal boot drive, perhaps sometimes slowing down whether or how quickly it is recognized by the system.
I would shut down, unplug all external drives, and boot into Recovery Drive (Press and hold Command-R until the progress bar appears).
In Recovery mode, go to the menu and run Disk Utility Run First Aid on your boot volume. You should then be able to shut down, connect the external, and run normally.
About 70GB free on the SSD. I keep all downloads and iTunes on externals. I’ll give Disk Util/First Aid a try. Thanks.?

Dust becomes a problem when it interferes with cooling.? If your machine overheats, sometimes you notice it because part of the case gets hot?to the touch. It’s nicer to see the monitored temps reading high. Also seeing the fans speed(s) running high. I don't have a list of OK numbers. I look occasionally and get a sense of the readings?when the machine seems to be running normally.

At times, when I’ve booted into Safe Mode because something flaky was?happening, it seemed to take a long time (even running on an SSD) to do its thing.
