BootCamp is Apple’s utility to let your Mac boot directly into Windows, without any emulation program (like Parallels or Fusion) in between. It is crafted specifically to create (and “provision”) a partition ONLY on the computer’s internal main booting drive. I think there's enough space for it there, but I'd much rather partition one of my other drives,?(which are in an OWC Thunderbolt 2 enclosure). Is there any way to get BC to show me "other options"?
No, I don’t think so. However… Or, alternatively, is there a way to format an external drive in NTFS, install a Windows .iso,?and then download the necessary drivers for Mac hardware?
The big difference between BootCamp and emulation is that the former is an *alternate* way to boot your computer (Mac OR Windows, not both), and the emulators let you run Windows in a window while the Mac is up and running normally (*simultaneous*).
I haven’t used those emulation programs for years, myself, but if I recall correctly, they can either be set up to create a virtual hard drive with the alternate OS on it, and boot from that, or to set up an actual drive partition as the alternate OS.
The latter would seem to be what you want. <>
I can imagine 2 alternatives:
a) emulator software lives on the internal drive, and targets an external volume which has all the Windows stuff
b) you set up BootCamp in a minimal partition on the internal drive, and that minimal Windows installation uses the full-size external volume as a 2nd (“D:”) drive.
Beyond my suggestions, you would need either to experiment, or to consult someone who is more familiar with the emulator programs.

Hi, Dan,
I copied and pasted what you wrote in the command line.
Still tells me I don’t have the necessary permissions.
I entered the Home User Account password.
Thanks.

Doug, here's a Terminal command to repair permissions.
This is from an article on High Sierra permissions but I think it's the
same in Catalina.
1. Open “Terminal“.
2. Type the following command, then press “Enter“:
sudo diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`
You will need to type your Home User Account password which will not
appear on the screen.
Tell us what happens.

gosh!...shoot me at dawn for "pushing" the idea of forming more meaningful connections, which is the advantage to opting in...also, profiles contain information, sometimes very interesting, about a person...for instance, one in the group is a private investigator and has apple creds to boot...one lives on beautiful cape breton island...one is a journalist, now retired...and more than half of the 25 now in the directory include a photo in their profile --- which immediately humanizes them to a degree impossible to attain through text alone...as for the notion that your profile heightens the risk of being spammed, i think that's an unrealistic fear.

Only you are pushing for everyone to change their settings, and only 18 of 282 members of this list have chosen to share. I have no idea how many have or have not opted in on the other group, but I bet it is low, since no one has brought it up. The platform owner by default, decided that individuals have to opt in. And so far, I see not advantage to opting in.?
One disadvantage is I think, why make it one iota easier for a spammer? And once capture by a spammer, there is no way to retract it.

If not, you can make changes. First you have to click the gold padlock

Re: Error message won't go away
If you *never* use iMovie, delete it. It's a big app (up to 3 GB, depending on version) so why waste disk space with something you don't need?

Check this article about stopping the Catalina update nag.
If you do stop it, you may want to turn it back on at some point.

Yes, I just checked and Libre Office 6.1.3.2 is running perfectly under Catalina 10.15.1. I had to change a few paths since the directory structure of macOS has changed from previous versions, but it works fine. On Nov 4, 2019, at 8:42 PM, Jim Saklad via Groups.Io <jimdoc@...> wrote:

I’ve had a detailed set of rules in Apple Mail on my Mac for many years. Using IMAP on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad, my mail and mailboxes neatly synchronize among all three – IF the Mac is booted up.
When all the sorting was done on the Mac, mail didn’t get sorted if I was reading it remotely on my iPad, but the Mac was turned off at home.
So I took a different approach – I logged into iCloud, opened Mail on that website, and set up all the sorting filters there, since that was the first place my incoming mail went, before even going to my Mac, iPad, or iPhone.
Of course, I also DISabled those rules on my Mac.
This is all by way of saying that, in MY experience, rules do NOT synch. Having them on the mail server is the most efficient method.
