Is there any way to fix the metadata on legitimately bought movies? The publisher was inconsistent on how they numbered a series. Is there even a way to sort content in the TV App Library? I guess I can make a playlist. E: Apparently I have to download the episode to add it to a playlist?

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I'm having a problem when I ad things to Music (né iTunes) where if I add an album that I bought from another site such as Booth or Bandcamp it will be there on my Mac but it will sometimes either only partially add it to my iCloud account or not at all, making it so I cannot play the album on other devices. Is there a way to force upload to iCloud somehow? Do you have iTunes Match?

Puppy Galaxy posted:Do you have iTunes Match? Yep Edit: for example- I bought the latest Drive By Truckers album on Bandcamp and added it to Music. The album has 9 songs, but only 7 of those show up on my iPhone. The ones on Music that are missing on my phone show a dashed-line cloud icon in the Music window.

I think the dotted line means it hasn’t synced yet. If there’s a line through it it means it can’t sync it. I think there’s a “sync now” or something similar button either in settings or the menus. Edit: I might be wrong about there being a button but I thought there was. Violator fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Nov 5, 2020 |

Apparently if I click "add to library" in the command-click menu, it will eventually add it to the cloud. I have "Synch Library' checked in Music's preferences, but it seems like I have to do this with each song and it doesn't always work. This is pretty annoying.

I realize this is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyways: in iTunes, does anyone else ever have the issue where you open the app, immediately go to search for something in the search bar, and after hitting return, it either does nothing or shows you the results from the *last* search you did? Like I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I've had this same Mac profile transferred through 4 or 5 different machines over the years and there's probably just something fundamentally broken about it, but if there's something I can do to un-gently caress iTunes, that would be wonderful. Example: https://imgur.com/a/HqHLOQJ And just since I posted this, I tried clearing out ~/Library/[Preferences|Caches]/com.apple.iTunes* and ~/Library/[Preferences|Caches]Caches/com.apple.music* No difference. nexxai fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 6, 2020 |

I’ve gone through two macOS updates on my new 2020 MBP since purchase. Most recent was the Catalina supplemental update that just got pushed to my machine tonight. Both times, they seem to complete and work fine, but during the loading screen when the update begins, a red square flashes for just a fraction of a second behind the apple icon before the first or second restart. The red square doesn’t appear at any other time. Not in normal boot up or shutdown, or in booting to safe mode or recovery. Disk checks and the basic Apple Hardware Diagnostics tool detect no issues. Could there be anything to this? Maybe normal during updates? Should I try resetting the NVRAM?

I saw this happen consistently on a whole lab of Macs (40~ units) during the same update, and none of them have any issue. Probably just some gfx driver fuckery.

I've had this happen to all of the macs at work, several computer labs and 100+ workstations. From what I can tell there is no larger underlying issue that this is a symptom of, just some driver nonsense.

MSFT has known about this for awhile and it already runs on iOS/iPadOS. I don't think it'll be much past launch day that you'll be fine.

Seems ok, but a wee bit slow, but it's running on practically the oldest supported config...

I have to imagine that porting AMD video drivers to ARM wasn't top priority. Same thing applies to specs. to egotistically quote my own self from a yospost, BobHoward posted:they didn't say it, but M1 is probably the same silicon as the A14 variant (A14X?) that they'll use in an upcoming as-yet unnanounced ipad pro refresh. it lines up: limited to 16GB max DRAM, has few video outs, etc. they can easily use the exact same silicon in an ipad by thermally limiting it a little and putting it in a different package which bonds out the ipad specific i/o while not bonding out the mac specific i/o

I would imagine that if you have the 2015 rMBP with Radeon R9 M370X it should be fine, the iGPU is what drags things down IMHO since Big Sur is somewhat more graphics heavy than Mojave or Catalina..

^^^ It should be fine.. Now that I've had time to play around with Big Sur v.11.0.1, build 20B28, this build feels like they tightened up the coding and everything is actually performing as snappily as when I had the same machine running Mojave. If RC2 is truly the final GM, it gets approval from me. Even Facebook / Tampermonkey / FaceBook Purity are running at a darn decent clip on an 8 GB bog standard 2.4 GHz rMBP. Some pages are still a little slow to load but I bet if I put it on a 16 GB machine it'd be even better.. Bootup time from cold start is about the same as Mojave, even with FileVault on. Caveat emptor: I'm using a 500 GB Samsung EVO 960 in place of the Apple OEM 256 GB SSD, it's somewhat faster than the Apple while retaining maximum compatibility.

Sounds good to me. I usually ask to get 5-7 years out of a laptop if I can, so being able to run Big Sur on my 2015 MBP ok for now instead of considering upgrading my machine anytime soon (I'd normally consider going for the new M1 MBP but since I was out of work for almost 6 months...) gives me a bit of relief.

It sounds like the dev has to explicitly allow the app to run on mac os, so older games might not get it even if all they'd have to do is go in and check a checkbox in xcode

It's the opposite, iOS apps are being made available on macOS unless the developer explicitly opts out of it.

Re: the RAM and to tag onto what some other posters have alluded to--remember, all of this RAM has to fit on-die. Furthermore, we'll probably see a variant of this silicon in an iPad Pro refresh and they sure as poo poo weren't putting 32 GB of DRAM into that so....

I keep one machine running HS and whenever I attach a new Catalina laptop to it via Target Disk Mode it complains that the drive is in an incompatible format. Apple has been updating the APFS format so much that they literally haven't bothered to update previous OSes to at least be capable of reading the new format..

Can you imagine how thrilled the FS developers are when they get told, for the first time in their lives, that they can iterate on a format and not care that much about backward compatibility? What a dream.
