Is anyone else experiencing this weird hiccup with exposé where if I do a three finger swipe up, sometimes it'll start to show all windows but it stops after 1% with the windows having hardly changed, but are now unmovable (as if they're stuck in the exposé transition) until I swipe up again to force the system to do it again. Not sure if it started with Sierra. I'm definitely getting it on my rMBP trackpad but it also happens on my mouse with my work iMac. Not a huge issue, just weird.

Do people not use Onyx anymore? That's how I usually mess around with stuff like the screenshot folder, format, name, &c. It's also good for transparent dock icons, or stupid crap like an animated background image. (And a bunch of actually useful stuff, too)

I am disappoint.

I can't log in to icloud.com from any browser I've tried under OS X. A blank white pop-up appears after I submit the username/password, and I can't proceed further. It looks like it might be a Terms & Conditions dialog?

You should get an iCloud page asking for the 2-factor code, along with a popup on your Mac (and other devices) with a map saying that a computer near XYZ wants access to your account.

I upgraded to Sierra, and the font sizes for a bunch of stuff in Safari changed. How do I force it to render at a specific font size? It's been so long, I don't remember anymore. Nevermind, I found a Terminal Command that works: defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2MinimumFontSize -int 14 Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Oct 7, 2016 |

I think it might have been a nag to set up security questions. I solved it by switching to 2FA through an iOS device.

I just found a nice way to watch youtube videos with the new PiP feature in Sierra, not sure if this is common knowledge: Open youtube.com in safari, rightclick the tab and pin it because the PiP video will stop playing when you close the tab. Visit the video/playlist you want to watch. Double rightclick the youtube video to get the "hidden" light grey safari context menu and choose "Enter Picture-in-Picture". Move and resize the window. Done.

hello macOS thread, I have a conundrum for you  Let's say I only want to use my keyboard and I've tabbed into a textbox that will interpret my tabs as the character tab instead of me wanting to jump to the next input field, how can I escape it? edit: if anyone wants to experiment with it, this is happening in 1password. Edit an item and stick your cursor in the notes field.

Thanks! I'm guessing it's not relevant outside of 1pw as text boxes elsewhere in macOS don't seem do tab characters that often. At least the one I typed this post into doesn't...

Is there a DWG viewer that isn't terrible? I bought one off the App Store that had decent reviews, but it's not very good. AutoDesk's A360 works well enough, but it's really inconvenient to have to upload every drawing I want to view, and wait for the website to process it. On the left is what I bought off the App Store, on the right is A360 (what the drawing actually looks like).  I use DWG TrueView on Windows, but there doesn't seem be a comparable equivalent for macOS

If there is a super fast Mac dwg viewer program that can handle many simultaneous open files I would also love to hear its name

OSX Sierra question: there's a lot of iCloud-centric stuff in Sierra like desktop cloud storage and the iCloud storage optimization. Are these features optional, as in they aren't turned on by default and you opt in and out of them? (There are a lot of iCloud features I don't use like photo storage and keychain. I like having control over that.)

It's on a bit of a time-delay, so you have to hold it down for a bit. Probably so it doesn't allow you to accidentally hit it and sleep the laptop.

So is the Caps Lock button  Apple saves us from ourselves. (although I've long turned the caps lock off completely) P.S. You can configure Chrome to wait a bit when you hit Cmd-Q before it shuts down, because... well... missing Cmd-W and losing all your poo poo sucks. It's just under the Chrome menu and it's called "Warn before quitting". If this is the first you've learned about this -- you're welcome!

For some reason since I updated to Sierra if I send my laptop to sleep (while connected to an external screen) and then close it, it wakes up. Before Sierra it stayed sleep.

I removed Flash from my Mac in 2014 and life is better. Sites that rely on it are terrible – evidenced by the fact that my country's internal revenue service website requires not only Flash but also 500MB of Adobe Acrobat Reader to read an 80KB proprietary PDF. Filing my tax return is the only time I need Flash and that's the only reason I have Chrome installed. Any other site/service that moans about requiring Flash gets closed and five minutes of googling gets me an alternative.

Is there a good iOS management app for MacOS that can manage disk space better? My daughter has a 16gb 6s and is continually out of space. I've tried the 'buy LOTR in iTunes' trick and that does work, but I was hoping to find something with more features or an interface that doesn't risk actually successfully buying LOTRs from iTunes.

So this is purely anecdotal: back when I was on my 16gb 5s, I noticed that the phone was getting PACKED, even though it didn't seem to have that many apps on it. I downloaded something called iExplorer and discovered that Apple Music had been storing 5Gb(!) of cached files, including massive radio files that were over 400mb each. None of these I'd chosen to save to the phone so I couldn't understand why they were there. I was able to delete them from iexplorer and free up a lot of space. Unless that's the particular issue you're having with the 6s (music being cached) I don't think there's much else in the way of clearing space.

It wasn't until iOS9-10 that I started continually running out of space. When I bought my 16G 6 it always seemed to be fine, but now I'm finding myself micromanaging. I was one of those people who were constantly  when people said they were running out of space being all "well you must be doing something wrong because I'm fine with 16G" and now look how far I've fallen

I'd have plenty of space if Apple didn't keep forcing a 1.1GB software update into my loving phone.

If I had Autocad, I would rather run Bootcamp or Parallels, though. Quantum of Phallus posted:http://www.mcelhearn.com/how-to-clear-the-apple-music-cache-on-ios-devices/ Yeah I've been doing this for a while. I find it kind of annoying how a streaming service will consume space on my phone. Next iPhone I'm 128GB or whatever and cancelling iTunes Match or whatever it's called now. This is the one I don't understand:  Especially because when I look at each app's "Documents & Data" it is rarely more than 10MBs, and usually only 2-3MB. I'm guessing 1.5GBs is my email and text messages, but I really cannot understand what the other 3GB would be.

Honestly it's a big fuckup on Apple's part that caches don't get nuked automatically on iOS when space is needed for something else.

Also because of the stupid way iCloud work, if you have any iWork apps like Pages or particularly Slides, they can end up caching a LOT of space.

TACD posted:I personally think it's just loving great how enabling Apple Music or iTunes in the Cloud or whatever will make my iPhone decide to delete half my music at random to make space for something else, but unwanted cache garbage is apparently so sacred it can't be removed with anything less than a full erase + reinstall. I don't use any Apple cloud services other than iPhone backups. I got sick years ago of all the unclear alert messages when working with any of them. Does the message mean all my contacts/photos/etc are about to be deleted? Who knows! Instead of tying my mobile and laptop devices together they've made sure I keep doing everything manually to avoid cleaning up the horrible mess their dumb system creates.
