Inundated with fishing Banners

My wife's MacBook Air (2017-13", macOS 12.7.2) is constantly inundated with banners on the upper righthand corner of her screen. They are very short and want you to click on them. There are multiple reasons such as you have a virus or your files are being downloaded etc..etc.

I told my wife not to click on any of them.

1. I have cleaned out her history
2. I have used Antivirus Zap. When scanned no virus or malware were detected.
3. I have used Antivirus One twice. When scanned no...

Finder issue

Anyone ever see this happening where some files are missing their text until you switch out of that folder and back?

"OpenOffice" cannot be opened

What's with Apple? I have been using OpenOffice for years on my Macs. In the past week or so I have been getting the following message on my M1 MacBook Pro when I try to use this app: "OpenOffice cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. MacOS cannot verify this app is free from malware."

I down loaded the app again but I still get the same message. OpenOffice is not in the App Store. Is Apple trying to force you in downloading/purchasing their apps?

G'day all! Nice to be here.

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to say hi and give a little introduction.

Professional Firefighter in real life, but vintage computer restorer/collector and general all-around nostalgia guy (just ask my poor wife!). lol

Ran a BBS waaaay back from the early 90s until 1998 or so (when the shiny Internet super highway took all the callers away).
Actually used the lock down time in 2020 to start rebuilding my old bulletin board, Dark Systems BBS.

Apple device management for families

Is there a resource, on this Web site or elsewhere, that provides guidance for families in the ongoing issues around device management? My current problem is I want my kids to have phones with them when they're not in my care, but to share the same phone number across their personal devices. I've got us all using Apple products in order to makes things easier, but on this issue I'm in the dark.

Photo Book Options

Hi all,

I was about to start making a photo book on iPhoto when I realized Apple discontinued the service.

I’ve looked around but not sure where to lean towards. I’m looking for an easy to navigate software so I can add images and manipulate with hardcover options

any suggestions?

Rosetta

Did a nice clean install on my new Mac (factory install was a bit buggy) and I have a couple apps (PDFPen Pro and MacX Video Converter) that want me to install Rosetta. It must have been installed at the factory but now I'm wondering if I want to install it again. Not sure whey some developers don't update their apps to work natively. Do any of you hesitate to install Rosetta and just look for a new app that will run natively on your Mac?

Booting 2023 MBP off External Drive

When connected to an external clones drive, my Mac never sees it when going into Startup Disk. On my older Macs, when that happened, restarting with the Option key held down would bring it up. Not on my new Mac. Is shutting down and then holding the power key on startup the only way to bring up a bootable drive on these new Macs?

iCloud family sharing after divorce

Is there a way to keep both parents in an iCloud family so they can both approve purchases for a minor, but not have both linked to one credit card and see each other’s purchases? I am really having trouble finding an answer to whether Apple has fixed this oversight.
