I guess if you follow these steps it works but I don't have a iPhone so I can't If you have a late-2020 MacBook Air/13" MacBook Pro with a M1 Apple Silicon processor, you can run any iPhone/iPad app you want. Game streaming works flawlessly on my MacBook Air! Fullscreen is available by the way, does not have to run windowed. Follow these steps: Download the Xbox.app ".ipa" file by using Apple Authenticator 2, see here: https://medium.com/xcnotes/how-to-download-ipa-from-app-store-43e04b3d0332 Follow these additional steps here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...2#post-29273562 Enjoy streaming your Xbox games to your MacBook! Works flawlessly.

I've gotten iTunes working in a Win 10 VM with Parallels (thinking about taking the plunge from Mojave to Big Sur, for a few reasons) and coherence mode works great. It'd just be for managing audiobooks every couple of weeks anyway. Since this seems to work pretty well, does anyone have any experience using iTunes in Docker?

What's the advantage over just running the native version of iTunes  In my experience getting Docker applications to reliably show a graphical window is a giant pain in the rear end.

FCKGW posted:Do you know the IP? I’m pretty sure the OS still has least generic drivers so you can just manually add it via IP. I had to do something similar to my Dell MFP when they dropped 32-but support. Just tried adding it via IP and it didn't work I tried choosing both printer-specific drivers and generic ones -- in both cases it would try to send the job to the printer and after a few seconds say "printer is not responding." For what it's worth, I'm confident that I have the right IP because the printer will spit out a network config page on demand.Well, at least printers aren't all that expensive these days...

hey, something just came up, I remember seeing it before and it causing an issue but I don't remember what. The keychain icon thing has popped up a few times on the top bar, if I click on it it goes away. not sure what this is. there is a pending upgrade to big sur that I haven't done yet, is that at all related?

OEM scanner software seems to be rear end most of the time, I've been using VueScan since forever. It just works. I currently use it on a network Brother scanner/copier/laser printer and it works great. I used to use it for the old cheap-rear end flat bed Canon WinScanner for a while too. You can enter your model number on their site and it will tell if the scanner if fully/partly/not supported. It can handle an insane number of scanners. Gets updated fairly often as well.

Did you try installing the IJ Network tool as well? It's for setting the network settings on the printer, which seems useless, but it makes you connect the printer via USB first. I'm reasonably certain that it was only after doing so (and turning the printer's network interface off/on in the settings, since the drat thing likes to lose its network connection every few days of disuse) that I could see the printer on this computer. I think I tried adding the printer a month ago, saw that it wouldn't show up in the printer selector on this computer, and gave up. So if you haven't already tried that, it might be worth a shot.

Are there any tips to making the Apple mail client better? I've been using Airmail for the past 8 or 9 years and after the last update I get the "upgrade to pro" window that pops up every time I leave the app and go back. Needless to say, gently caress them. I paid money for their app and it's bullshit that I can't use it interruption free without paying again. The main thing that bothers me with Apple mail is anytime I send an email my inbox column shrinks and doesn't resize after I've sent the email. Also does mail by default embed attachments in the email? Or does it just appear that way in my view? If it's the latter that's fine although still kind of obnoxious. If there are any decent free alternatives that look and work similar to Outlook that's what I really want.

I've noticed with the apple mail client that the junk mail filtering just doesn't work at all (I'm using it with my gmail account). Is that a known issue? Honestly if I could just turn off the "unread" count for junk I'd be fine.

Also, never ever try to attach something from your onedrive. There’s about a 75% chance you’ll get a spinning beach ball and need to force quit. I’ve had this problem for years across multiple MacBooks.

Trabant posted:That worked -- thank you Well, if you've looked for an optional driver — mine was called ICA Driver — and already installed that, the last thing to check is that you've got the printer installed via Bonjour. The Cannon IJ Network connection is supposedly better (based on what little I could find in google), in that it has a bit more functionality, but it seems to be just for printing, whereas the Bonjour one correctly understands that it's not just a printer. I just went ahead and added the printer repeatedly and added the connection type, so I have MP560(Bonjour), MP560(USB), MP560(IJN) and set the IJN one as default. And now the scanner shows up just fine in image capture. There's also a little scanner icon in the print queue for the bonjour and usb ones you can click to open some sort of scanner interface.

Yeah, that’s the nuclear option. If you’re not already, I’ll plug using iCloud Keychain because this way if your local Keychain gets hosed, most of your logins are saved and synced across devices.

I’ve got a fairly new (2020) Intel MBP and occasionally open applications will just die really ugly deaths, disappearing suddenly with no warning and no dialog box appearing afterwards. So far I haven’t had the wherewithal to open Console and find out anything else in the moments it happens. It’s been three times in about a month. Three different applications; once each. Photoshop, Safari, and a GIS application. Seems very odd to me that there’s no dialog box popping up after the crashes. Is this a sign of impending doom?

My largest complaint about Messenger on MacOS is the fact that it's synching is completely broken. Yesterday I was doing some texting around 1pm on my phone about some errands and later at home I had been on my MBP for a couple hours and suddenly those aforementioned messages updated suddenly around 9pm. Note that it updates random messages at random times.

I'm testing Big Slur 11.2 beta 2 and I haven't had any issues either copying/pasting jpgs into Messages or dragging them from a folder.. Think they still are working on Bluetooth issues as my formerly rock solid Anker Soundcore and Tribit SoundGo keep dropping off after 30 minutes idle.. they were totally ok in Mojave. Sigh.
