Update: I renewed my warranty! It was a rogue week-old message, but it wasn't showing up under the "Unread Messages" filter until a reboot. It was my mom telling me she loves me

Anything deeper than ~/Music might as well be the swirling vortex of mystery computer files from Hackers. Just don’t look at it IMO.

~Coxy posted:Most likely the user has swapped between having iTunes organise their library and not a couple of times. Nah, it's just the inevitable consequence of four layers of file organising logic. ~/Music is where you are supposed to store your music stuff, like all your documents go into ~/Documents ./Music is where the files managed by the Music app goes, like how your Photos files goes into ./Photos Library.photoslibrary ./Media is where the actual media managed by the Music app goes, to separate it from artwork, backups and the like. ./Music is where the music media is stuffed, to separate it from other types of media that the Music app might handle. …and below that, it's just artist and album separation, of course. Sure, some of it is just a remnant from the iTunes days, where music media needed to be separate from other audio, such as tones, audiobooks, podcasts etc., but Music.app still uses the same logic even when the need for it is largely gone, be it for reasons of backwards- or forwards compatibility. In fact, it's almost a bit of an issue that the separated apps that now deal with those other media don't follow the structure, and instead insist on having their own storage spots that can't be managed by the user as easily.

Speaking of, is there any way to have MacOS treat photos like a normal goddamn program or is it their weird DB nonsense or nothing? I just load everything onto my NAS directly and avoid the problem entirely.

I’m going to experiment with using PhotoSync for transferring photos off of my phone and Neofinder for managing them when the new year rolls around. Supposedly Neofinder will make a database but leave all photos where they are and just generate thumbnails. PhotoSync will let you export HEIC/MOV and/or JPEG at the same time, it’s a nice app once you upgrade it to pro for six bucks. I’m with you. I don’t like the photos app, and I just want to manage my pictures as is and not in a database.

For the last few weeks my iPhone has been taking longer and longer to sync, getting stuck at "Step 2: Preparing to Sync". After some DuckDuckGo'ing, I found the way to fix this was to find the "com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper" process, and kill -9 that PID. Then I yank the cord on my iPhone, plug it back in, and instant sync. However, it seems that this process stays in the -9 state instead of going away, and the next sync won't work until I reboot. (Right now, Music is showing the "Syncing..." status in the bottom left corner, despite the phone being unplugged.). There's no PID for the stuck process. code:I wish Apple would fix this, but that's asking too much to get them to look at the Music app anymore...

"com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper" is part of Apple's infrastructure to upload crash reports for their software (and third party software) to their servers. If it's dead, you shouldn't lose any sync functionality, because it's not part of sync. For exactly that reason, I'm a little suspicious of the advice which claimed killing it should help syncing out. You sure that the success wasn't just due to yanking the cord and plugging it back in? I mean, I can imagine scenarios where killing the crash reporter helps. Something along the lines of "sync program crashes, can't be restarted until the crash reporter exits, but the crash reporter hangs forever". It just seems odd that someone would tell you to kill the crash reporter though, usually the fix for a sync problem is to kill the sync daemon (which should lead to launchd automatically restarting it).

Tomorrow I’ll try again without killing that process, but so far it’s the only thing that’s worked for me.

Personally, I want just the photos to be exported to a specific folder so I can upload them to the NAS and to OneDrive and bypass Photos altogether.

You can change the default on connect behavior in Image Capture. My phone never opens Photos. Image capture is what you’re looking for. I wonder if a shortcut could be done to do it automatically for you.

Am I missing something? Why does a Safari Private Window remember login credentials? Is that a bug or a feature, I just noticed it, I guess it's been doing it the whole time, but sort of seems silly  e: I don't think it does that in Chrome Incognito Window, I'll try later but

Do you mean use credentials that were previously stored, or store new credentials that you entered while in Private Browsing mode? The former is expected, but the latter would be really bad. Private Browsing basically makes your profile data “read only”: it will still use your history for autocomplete, let you access your bookmarks, and use stored credentials. It’s not anonymous browsing (though Chrome’s naming is really bad here) or a “clean profile”. In Chrome and Firefox you can use profiles or containers for an emptier browser data setup.

It’s never used stored credentials for me. Like, if I visit somethingawful.com in private browsing mode I will have to log in every time despite having the cookie in regular mode.

There isn’t really a good reason why the browser shouldn’t be able to access its own password storage in a private browsing session, since as someone mentioned, the private session is only meant to restrict saving new data (history, sessions/cookies etc).

Frankly, I shouldn’t need an app for that, it should be basic transfer functionality, but Apple.

I mean more in the "plug phone in and look at the motherfucking photos like a filesystem" which I vaguely recall being able to do a million years ago via iTunes and Windows but it made sync all fucky. Thankfully I haven't had to do this in like a decade, but the wife refuses to delete photos despite them being on the goddamn NAS (loves her "favorites" and you can't export them in a sane way). From what I recall of the last time having to offload everything to make space it's all obscured in a way that is in theory user friendly but a massive pain in the rear end if you're trying to do something specific. I could be wrong but I really don't want to be in a place where I have to deal with it enough to be sure.

Lol, that's amazing. I swear though, I didn't think it worked that way. The only reason I noticed is because I was trying to be slick and login to my test/dev provider as opposed to my production account and noticed it knew. Back to going back to Chrome (that takes a million years to open for some reason), and just flushing everything out before holding Command+Q for 4 seconds, for reasons I'll never understand.

The 4 second thing is to reduce the pain inflicted by fat-fingering the very common cmd-W into a very disruptive cmd-Q, and it’s great.

No, the 4-second thing is loving terrible because literally the only Mac application which does that is Chrome and it comes across as "Google really really does not want you to ever quit Chrome". Also web browsers can be set up to minimize the impact of accidental cmd-Q by re-opening windows and tabs from the previous session, so there was never any need to introduce that horseshit.

Is Time Machine to an SMB share still an acceptable, stable backup solution, or will it eventually gently caress up, corrupt itself, and need janitoring? I know that you shouldn't ever keep important files on a laptop in today's era of dirt cheap cloud storage, but Time Machine is nice extra peace of mind.... if it won't turn into a pain. I can't tell if Apple thinks it has a future or is going to pull the plug on it at some point.

They did completely redo Time Machine for AFS-formatted drives and it works a lot better at least for physically connected storage devices, and that seems to be my experience. My heavily-used work and home machines have been chugging along for a couple years with USB drives since they introduced AFS support for Time Machine just fine. However people still have said that networked shares still don’t work as well itt but I don’t have much experience with them

A lot of major browsers have it. Opera has you press Cmd-Q twice in a row. Firefox prompts you on quit. Or, well, both browsers can be set to do so, anyway.
