Its unfortunate the Mac community that existed when this site was made does not exist any more.
Computing is not the community it used to be.

RIP MacNutt

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but our favourite bull headed scotsman, Gerry MacNutt, died in a freak accident this past weekend. I'dve posted something sooner, but I literally just found out when my mother phoned me from Salt Spring asking if I knew a guy named MacNutt.

Apparently he was photographing a motorcycle drag race (as he often talked about doing) and one of the bikes flew out of control and struck him.

Here is the story on the local Salt Spring...

RIP MacNutt

ehMac forums "Smiles" or emojis slow to load.

Is it just me???

Whenever I attempt, or at least during my first sessions at the site, attempts to load the pop-up "smiles" or emojis, it takes a good 30 seconds before a pop-up box shows asking if I want to quit or carry on waiting. I usually say to wait and within another 10 seconds, the pop-up Smiles sheet finally shows.

I experience no such delay at other forums using the same software, and it never used to take so long so I don't know what happened at the server end here but it sure...

SCSI to SATA adapter?????????

I think i have finally found one drive that i can work on my Lacie tower raid, i know the drive is failing as i was talking to the seller yesterday saying that the drive is pooched as he tried to wipe the drive, but he can't.

QUESTION is..........
is there an adapter from a SCSI to sata. as i would love to put in a SSD disk in that case.
i haven't got the chance to take one of those apart yet, so not entirely sure how many pins those drives have.

here is the link below for those that...

Migration Assistant to migrate only mail and nothing else?

I am buying a new M1 Mac with only 256GB storage.

My old iMac has two user accounts (wife and me) with a combined total of almost 2.5 TB used.

So, I backed up (SuperDuper, using the User Accounts option) onto an external 4TB.

Now, I want to migrate the two user accounts using migration Assistant onto the new Mac.

But, since I have limited storage in the new Mac, is it possible to migrate only Mail onto the new machine using migration assistant, or will it insist on trying to copy all the...

Monterey questions

I have a lot of fully-functioning applications. They're from various non-purchased sources but have never given me a problem.

However, I'm concerned if I move to Monterey, the new 'security' or Gatekeeper functions will block these. At least in High Sierra, it gives me a choice to open apps from unidentified developers in System Prefs.

I certainly can afford to go out & buy all this software. Will I run into problems with my old installed software? TOA!

Slow to appear

Everytime I create a document, PDF or image, it's very slow to appear on my Desktop. Restart doesn't help.

It would be time-consuming/a lot of fiddling to 'upgrade' to Mojave from High Sierra, although I could keep my 32-bit third parties that way.

A lot of users have gone to Monterey; gotta say I hate it. It's not very customizable, e.g. Desktop Picture, folder icons aso.

I often have minimal SSD space, currently 127GB of 1TB. Is that not enough free space?

2013 27" iMac as external monitor for M1 Mac Mini - possible?

I know this is a long shot because I could not find anything in a web search, but I shall ask it here anyway - exhaust all avenues so to speak.

So, since the iMac is dying (and Apple says they will not look at any machine before 2015 and they suggested I buy a new Mac), I was wondering if I could use this as a display for a new Mac mini M1 I am looking at buying.

Advantages:
1. I get a proper and excellent IPS display at a high enough resolution
2. I save a ****load of money by not buying...

PowerBook Pismo

I loved my Pismo, and used it until it was irreparable. Loved the dual slots for removable batteries. The weak spot was the finnicky audio cable connection inside.

PowerBook Pismo g3 or g4 550mhz

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a PowerBook pismo in excellent condition, I am also looking for anyone who may have the g4 550mhz upgrade card that was sold many years back. I had one of these computers upgraded years ago but sold it for some stupid reason (young and needed money for other stuff).

M1 Mac - possible to have Mail reside on an external drive instead of internal?

Theis post is related to and is born out of this other post: 2013 27" iMac with Fusion drive failing -...

I have heard that having the Home folder on an external can lead to trouble.

However, is it possible (like for the photo and music libraries) to have the Mail system (not the entire Home, but just Mail) on an external drive? I use POP3 and not IMAP (yes I am a...

2013 27" iMac with Fusion drive failing - SuperDuper has been backing up slowly

iMac is terribly slow to do anything - beachballs all the time, apps take long to launch, booting up takes at least 5 minutes if not longer, then to show the after-login sdesktop it takes another ten minutes etc.

Etrecheck said hard drive shows signs of failure. Disk Utility said said all was well.

So, I decided to do a super duper backup.

Now, SuperDuper has been baking up for 26t hours straight (and counting) - it has completed about 40% of the backup.

Please note, I am not doing...

iPhone pop-up message says I've been hacked

I was on my iPone and clicked on an image in Google search and was redirected somewhere and before the site even opened i received the pop up “your iPhone has been hacked“. I didn't click on anything and simply turned my phone off. Should i be concerned that i've been hacked?

My computer is slow...any suggestions?

Hi all...my Mac Pro has become atrociously slow..to the point it is painful to use. I love my mac...is there anything that can be done to restore it to its former glory? In the past when I had this problem members suggested ONYX and that really did fix me up....but now the slowness is back and ONYX doesn't seem to do the trick anymore.

I have run ONYX but to no avail, nothing I could execute would really help. Would a malware software help? Any ideas?

Two HDs

Wife’s 2019 MBA came back from major AppleCare repair. Mojave had been replaced by Monterey & we lost a lot of stuff.

However, there’s a weirdie, too. She has two HDs, as pictured.

Get Info reveals one is running 12.2.1, the other 12.2.2. How is this even possible?

AppleCare tells me this can’t be fixed without reformatting the entire disk. Apple tells me the extra HD is not taking up any extra space. On a 256GB SSD, that matters.

Apple tells me I can...

Seagate HDD external partition problem

Ever since the geniuses at the Apple Store 'upgraded' my wife's MBA to Monterey, we've had nothing but problems.

HDD don't play well with APFS so there isn't even that option in Disk Utility.

Once the 2TB HDD was erased, partition was greyed out. Looks like Disk Utility defaults to Master Boot Record. Turns out it requires GUID.

AppleCare techs didn't know that. Two hours into the afterlife...
