Re: Mail on Mac and iOs devices suddenly stopped syncing...
Thanks Bev. ?I thought that might be it. ?But it¡¯s really annoying that you have to do the updates to get something as basic as this to keep working. ?Some of us don¡¯t want to update until apps we use have been updated and work reliably with new OS versions. ?

I use HoudahSpot to find things. It has a lot of options to narrow the search down.

I have the free EasyFind App, which still finds these files and can show me where they are located, but this is less convenient that simply using Finder.
Does anyone have a clue why Sequoia is failing to find some files?

I think I have solved my problem. I used a 3rd-party tool to delete the Spotlight index, and let it re-index itself overnight.
I just tried a few recent failed searches, and now they work.

The FInder search function hasn¡¯t worked properly for me for years. ?I can have items sitting on the desktop, or even open in preview mode, all included in the Spotlight indexing, that it can¡¯t find. ?I¡¯ve been using EasyFind instead.?

This is directed at those in the US who celebrate Thanksgivings, but the well wishes is for all as we approach the various holidays. I am sending it early, since many of us will be off-line tomorrow.
May you be thankful for what you have and those around you. May you have health, safety and prosperity going forward.? I believe that my friend in the photo used this for an invitation to an ¡°Orphan¡¯s¡± Holiday Dinner we have both attended for years.
You may recognize it as a remake of the album cover to "Alice¡¯s Restaurant Macacree¡±. ?Alice passed away on 22 Nov 2024, may she RIP.
This is crossed posted across several lists, so you may see it more than once.

On my Mac mini running 10.15.7?

I finally contacted Apple about the problem I was having with my new mac since the upgrade.? It took 6 techs on the chat platform, two days, and over 4 hours. Everything they tried did NOT work. Finally the last tech said he would have someone call, and when that wonderful man in Austin called and got into my computer..Voila..It was fixed. it was just where i new the problem was ..in the lock screen..the area that would give hte option for no password required was grayed out. One of the techs even had me set up the iphone mirroring so I could undo it. While the man was on the phone, I gave Apple permission to go into my computer. I followed the reds arrow, and quickly, it was done..and I am now a happy camper. ..and my computer doesn't ask for the password when coming out of sleep mode
as for the other thing that the keyboard shortcut for sleep doesn't work, I can live with that. Who knows, perhaps the next upgrade, if i am brave enough to do it, might just fix that

It's to do with the iphone mirroring app.
When I initially set it up, i did not want to be asked each time to authenticate. That option somehow triggered the mac to ask for password after sleeping, screen saving etc..... a huge annoyance. So I had to reconnect the app then disable that choice and it was fixed.

Annoying and not useful. And now the ability to select never in the lock screen to select the solution is greyed out.

Did you find iPhone Mirroring annoying, or not useful, or did you disable it just because using it triggered the password requirement for unlocking your screen?

Gurus,
I hope you can help.
I am just now using Sequoia, which is fast and good. However....
?Every time my screen saver starts or the macbook pro sleeps, i have to log in with my password. Before Sequoia, i enabled the screen saver to start at 2 minutes, now I've changed it to 10 minutes, because i have a lot of 2-10 minute distractions. I get an energy saver alert if I set it for more than 10 minutes. (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)?
Any way to disable this?? In the Lock Screen section there's stuff about password being required if iphone mirroring is set to automatically authenticate. However, after initially enabling that feature, I removed the macbook pro from my iphone entirely.
Hope there is a fix for this.
Thank you in advance

Re: Just ordered an M4 Mac mini
You will be very pleased. I replaced my M1 Mini (16GB / 1TB) with an M4Pro Mini (24GB/2TB).?
Received in about half the original estimated delivery time, shipped from TN.?
Using a Thunderbolt 4 cable and the native Migration Tool was seamless, and only a couple of hours.?
Price was reasonable with Apple Military Veteran program.?

Which macOS does this happen in, and can you name a few of the apps?
I only keep copies of installers on external drives, and have seldom tried to boot from a clone.
I was quoting others who have told me this. ?I haven't had the issue, not having tried to run many apps from places other than the internal applications folder. ?I'm interested in the question because if I go to a M4 Mini to replace a 2018 i7 Mini, I'd want to know I have the option of running most if not all apps from the external drive. ?
