EL BROMANCE posted:I still have dozens and dozens of albums that do this. Doesn’t matter if it’s synced, or via Match. Been like it for years. Fine in iTunes in any machine. It’s deciding the song name is the Group tag I set (before iTunes implemented its Recently Added it was a nice way of tracking what I was listening to at certain points). I've been really jamming out to PRODUCTION MASTER FILE: 16bit, 44100kHz lately. poo poo slaps.  In my case, it was using the "Work and movement" tags.

I'm wondering if I filter to everything that has a Group tag and remove it, whether it'll work and resync. Probably not knowing my luck, and I'll lose my collections I have based around this. Not that I use them often, but sometimes I'll be listening to something knowing I added a poo poo ton of things that sounded similar at the same time, and I can quickly find them.

I did it by hand, but I only had a couple of wonky albums. If you select multiple songs/albums and edit the tags, it'll apply to all of them, including updating in the cloud and on all your devices (eventually).

I found a cool Github project that takes any Chromecast/UPNP devices and makes them compatible with AirPlay. It has to be running on a computer at all times on your network, though: https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect Docker version: https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect

So what? How else do you think it would work? You plug a dongle into your Mac and then you can send it to any other Mac So you can use any Mac laptop as a second monitor, or an iMac that doesn't have target display mode

Im trying out the "unlock my mac" thing with my iWatch v5 and 2015 MBP and it's only working intermittently. I have it turned on the mac, and it's worked a few times, but it seems to randomly do so. Is there some setting I should be looking for?

Firefox 70 is finally usable for me on macOS, I recommend checking it out. The energy efficiency improvements made a big difference on my MBP. It's still not as efficient as Safari but the devs hinted that there are more improvements in the works (Metal support for the rendering engine or something along these lines?) and native PiP is also coming at some point.

Well, MacOS did an update last night overnight because I clicked "later" on it, so when I woke up this morning it had completed it. Now Music won't sync. Everything seems to be frozen after that update went through. I put new music in iTunes for the day, and it wasn't showing up on my phone. I synced again, no change. Then I found the music was missing from the Music app (can I just say here quickly how much I hate that they took away "iTunes"?). It seems that every time I quit the app, iTunes just loses whatever changes I made to it. My new album shows up in the Finder where it should be, and the iTunes music library file says it is updated as of a few minutes ago as I've been tinkering with this, but that album doesn't show up in the library. I tried to roll my computer back to the OS I had yesterday, but for some reason when I try to have the restore utility login to my Synology drive, it just closes the login dialog box. I went to Terminal and was able to login as that user, it just seems that Apple doesn't want me to actually restore. I'm extremely OCD about my music, so this is giving me quite the stress.

Here's some stuff just off the top of my head: -Is the music DRMed at all? It's not likely in the year 2019 but I had to ask. If it is, you should de-authorized/re-authorize. Maybe in sign out and back into iTunes. -From what you said, you can add the music, it shows up in Music, but then if you close/re-open it's not there. It almost sounds like the iTunes DB file or whatever it uses is not working right. You might want to run First Aid, and then to be sure, reset your home folder permissions.

I hope you've got a second backup! When I rolled back to Mojave I had to restore from my secondary USB drive TM, the main one on a Qnap NAS wouldn't connect until after the restoration had completed and even then, it would only start a new one. The old backup appears to have been altered by Catalina so that it only works on that. As an added bonus, now the old backup is just sort of sitting on the NAS taking up space, and I'd rather not delete it just in case.

I did First Aid, and nothing. Interestingly, I played some songs, quit the program, and then reopened the app. It is saving that I played that music, so the library file seems to be updating. I added that album again, quit, and reopened, and it's there now. I don't know. I ended up wiping and restoring my phone from an iCloud backup just to see if that'll do anything. I still had the tens of copies of my iTunes playlists on my phone that don't show up in iTunes, only on the phone, so it was maybe due for another attempt at a clean start, thanks to Apple.

A friend of mine is asking for my help. He has a Macbook Air from approx 2013, and it has Microsoft Office 2011 installed on it. He upgraded to Catalina, and MS Office, specifically Outlook, won't work now as it's a 32 bit program. He signed up for and has Office 365 installed now, but rather than replacing and upgrading Outlook 2011, there are just two versions of Outlook on his machine. He really needs all his archived emails from Outlook 2011, but since he cannot open Outlook 2011, he can't export a .pst file (or the mac equivalent). Is there anyway he can copy his emails from Outlook 2011 while on Catalina? I've tried googling this a bunch, but everything always starts with "export your .pst file", that or it's a clickbait article about how Catalina sucks because of the 32 bit thing.

I would download Mojave and install it on an external USB drive, boot from that, install the relevant Outlook versions in Mojave, copy the outlook mail database to the Mojave drive, export it to the new format, then boot back into Catalina to copy it back and test. Once everything’s good the external Mojave boot disk can be wiped and used for something else.

I've found some guides for how to install on a USB drive and boot from it, but will that give me access to the Outlook 2011 installation that's on the home drive? I'm not that familiar with macs, so maybe it's a dumb question. But for example if you did this with windows, and booted from a different installation on a thumb drive you couldn't run Outlook that was installed on the main hard drive.

No. You'd have to reinstall Outlook 2011 on the temporary Mojave install. What email provider does he use? There's little reason to archive emails anymore. Once you get Outlook 2011 running again, just dump his archived emails back into his mail (in folders if needed for organization), let that poo poo sync back with his email and you're done.

My biggest problem with Outlook is search folders, which don’t really work even with the most basic criteria. Also, when you organize your view by folder, it is not in alphabetical order but, as far as I can tell, completely at random, and oldest is on top by default, which is the opposite of the default view. There are many other behaviors in the Mac version which are different from the Windows version. If you move an email into a folder it marks it as read instead of leaving it unread. Maybe that’s your preference but it’s the opposite of Windows, so it makes the user experience inconsistent and unpredictable. I tried for a while to use my Mac for “work from home” but eventually caved and set up my desk for my work laptop, 90% because of Outlook, 10% shared folders.

OH look we are bitching about Outlook. My god Outlook 365 2019 whatever version sucks. My current constant issue with like 10 clients is the loving thing wont search contacts randomly. Nevermind the interface just getting more and more stupid. 2010 was the last good Office version. Can we get a normal open/save file dialog box for fucks sake?!

nice, an outlook bitchfest. i'll join in: I set up my automatic replies in outlook (office 365 web version), but I did it on my phone and the option to turn off the auto replies after a certain date was ... just not there. I couldn't find it and I accidentally left them on when I came back from a conference and i had never done that before. thanks Colton, the HR guy for reminding me they were still on!

My only real beef with Outlook is when I’m trying to pick a date for a meeting and I slide the calendar left/right with my trackpad in availability view, it staggers for a second and when it finally updates the display I find myself in the year 2027. Also please, for the love of god, just show me all meeting rooms with availability for my proposed period, don’t make me wade through all 40 and stare at the booking bars. Whatever mail/calendar client gives me this feature will win my heart forever.

Outlook (for Mac) is one of the worst goddamn abominations ever written. The ancient plugin system doesn't help it. I get at least a random crash a week that also doesn't send the message when trying to create Zoom meetings that are sending an external invite.

The concept of searching in Outlook is so loving bad. In the PC version, if you start searching, it will search all folders (and maybe even all mailboxes, it's been a while and I forget). In Outlook for Mac, you have to just go one folder at a time, and there's no easy way to non-GUI search for attachments. Gmail: "has:attachment" Outlook for Mac: "<search string>", click Advanced, click dropdown, choose Attachments, click second dropdown, choose Exists, hit enter Whyyyyyyyyyyyy
