Yeah it is a real shame, looks like ill just stick with the status quo of desktop/laptop syncing and iOS devices living in a separate realm. The inability to set default apps on iOS pushes me away from using Chrome on those devices sadly.

Take 1 was more of a "there are no good browsers on Windows" solution. Now we have iCloud, Take 2 would be more valuable, especially if it synced Keychain items.

When I was in a hybrid Windows/OS X/iOS universe, this is what I used, and it worked great for keeping bookmarks in sync. The way I managed opening other tabs was just having a bookmark folder that I dropped things I had open in (along with making it a makeshift Reading List) and it was pretty annoying and terrible, but it worked enough that I kept it up. Now that I'm macOS/iOS the whole way through, I'm much happier. But with the continuing prevalence of Windows,

What's the best way to share an iCloud calendar but not show any information except the scheduled times? Like I wanna share my work calendar with someone outside of work but not show which clients I'm meeting. We're both in the iCloud ecosystem but it seems the only solution is to use Google Calendar, which seems to have those options...

Once upon a time they sold XServes for people who absolutely did not want to mess with Linux. I assume it stuck around mostly for app build farms? And the one thing it still does, managing enterprise deployments.

"Commercial UNIX" was always an attractive proposition for companies that didn't want to touch Linux or FreeBSD because eeww, free ( = unsupported). Also there are better and more efficient kernel architectures than Linux. But in tyool 2018 I imagine it's just too much of an uphill battle when the companies they would normally be selling servers to are just spinning up AWS/gcloud instances.

Like I wanna share my work calendar with someone outside of work but not show which clients I'm meeting. iCloud doesn't seem to have permissions other than View/Edit or just View for published calendars. What you want is to publish a Free/Busy Calendar from Outlook or Google, optimally to WebDAV or something, and the recipient can then add it as a subscribed calendar (read-only). I can't think of a way to do this with your existing iCloud calendar, short of writing a script to regularly dump your calendar, strip it of details, and publish it to WebDAV. It'd be an interesting tool to build, very niche though.

Is anyone running High Sierra on a mid-2010 Mac Mini? I have had mine in storage for over a year now and am thinking of setting it back up for some light use but I'm not sure how far to upgrade macOS without getting it bogged down under all the new bells and whistles.

Here's a problem I've yet to have any luck to solve: OSX ML or SL one day a few years back lets my partner (let's call her H, for tha- ) switch to her user account, using her current login, no dramas - but as before she gets to the desktop it's treating her like a new user. Enter Apple ID, want Cloud? No? Why NOT?? Bienvenido! Etc.! Mostly photos, not a lot of other irreplaceable stuff, but stuff she'd like to get at again if she could was overwritten. Did I mention the Time Machine drive had taken a tumble and died a year before without anyone noticing until now? OK. Enter Disk Drill. I had been running the free version (as in forgotten I installed it in Recover/Whatever mode). It pulled back a lot of files, and as the screen shot shows they appear to have relative amounts of data intact, due to the varying sizes of the JPEGs. Except they won't preview or open at all. 'File is incomplete and/or corrupt'. Opening as different file formats in Photoshop, placing in PS, Preview, Paint on Boot Camp - nothing will show their contents. Seems there's a common line of code or something either tacked on or missing from all of these files. Ladies? Gentlemen?

So let me get this straight, because your post is hella confusing and full of unimportant details, You’re trying to recover pictures of your girlfriend/boyfriend, which were deleted several years ago, and that computer has been in use? Yeah you’re probably totally poo poo out of luck. If you had deleted these pictures like 20 minutes ago and that computer has been powered off the entire time then that’s a different story, but years?

Judging from the article where all they do is list alternatives for the services, it seems they'd rather farm out all the services to third parties rather than take on all the headaches from providing support for all those services themselves. So if you want to run a server under MacOS, you have to buy Apple's lovely service package then maintain and bolt on everything else yourself. I know most companies would rather just hire any qualified RHEL / Microsoft engineer straight out of loving trade school and have them install on the cheapest hardware they can loving get away with. If you want to run MacOS as a server now, you pretty much have to hire someone familiar will ALL of the technologies being replaced.

Even with all the zillions of dollars Apple has, they don't want to spend any (more) on a product that costs too much / is too complex to maintain/support and doesn't bring in poo poo. macOS Server is exactly this kind of product. Its days were numbered once they dropped Xserve; they were only in the server business because they for a little while, since their servers never really were in huge demand, then they stopped making them. At the same time they realized they didn't have to have total control over hardware / software in the servers area. MOSS literally became a zombie product after that.

MOS was dead meat after that. Basically this is just the next step in them getting out of the enterprise support side of things. I expect them to change how they interact with educational institutions in the next few years, and maybe either drop the server app altogether or fully integrate the features into os X funmanguy fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jan 31, 2018 |

Hoooo boy, ok. I've got a question about running some hardware and I'm pretty the answer is "lol that not gonna work boi" but here we go. My mac is currently running OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 for reference. I'm currently using SheepShaver to emulate Mac OS 9.0 to play old flight sims (Hornet, A-10, Hellcats). Now here is where you will start laughing at me, provided you didn't start when I said "play old flightsims". I have USB joystick that I have connected (ref Thrustmaster 1600m, which OSX will recognize) but it will not get recognized by my system 9 build. I know there's some programs that will assign keyboard commands to joystick axis like USB Overdrive but it the amount of assigning keys/axis for it will take quite a while so it's kind of my last resort option. I even went as far as to download the old Thrustmaster software to see if would recognize it, but of course it did not. I've downloaded the USB extensions for OS 9 but it doesn't seem to be working. I've heard that 9.2.2 has updated USB extensions that will allow it to read USB 2.0 ports but I'm unsure if the sheepshaver architecture has PCI/USB programmed into the emulator. Is there anyway to get an OS9.x.x build to recognize a USB controller, or is there a possibility there is a piece of software that will convert USB input to ADB? Actual ADB to USB hardware is a no go as the controller is USB itself, and I'm not trying to plug a USB controller into an old powerPC or vice versa. I hope this makes some sense.

So when you initiate screen sharing the sender has to accept a UI dialog on their end but what if I have a Mac at work or some other remote location and I want to remote into it?

I am working on a 15” MacBook Pro that I was given. I put a new battery and trackpad in it. I wiped the hard drive and installed High Sierra from scratch. Have not installed anything on it. Kernel_task is pegging the CPU nonstop. I did the nvram reset and reset the SMC and neither seemed to fix it. What would be the best next troubleshooting step?
