I have been using graphic converter all morning and it is literally exactly what I was after. Unreally happy with it  Zenostein, thank you. I said it earlier but I have to say it again - this solved everything.

 Many of these are just to fix bullshit macOS quirks. LinearMouse to fix mouse accel and stuff. BetterTouchTool to map some keys. Cursr to provide context-aware mouse across different resolution screens noTunes to stop Apple Music from opening when I use my AirPods (like why the gently caress) kiwid fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 6, 2023 |

Ya so I removed my first item, reboot, error went away. Re-added the item just to be sure and still no error. What the gently caress.

Could have been a case of, it had its set of plists to define all the items, but one of them was a dud or half-broken from not having been uninstalled properly, and thus wouldn't show up in the list but would still be picked up and “done” during start-up. By going into the list and fiddling with it, the OS went to update/add/remove the actual files behind it and only then removed the junk item.

nexxai posted:Goddammit, it turns out that it just does it the first time after closing the lid instead now. For about the last 3 Macs, using a TB dock with the lid closed and waking it up from sleep meant often only one monitor would awake. Unplugging the dock and plugging it back in sometimes helped, but often would SEEM like it helped and wake the other monitor up for a few seconds, then KP and reboot. Then it will work fine for months. And then it will start this poo poo again. Drives me bonkers.

I was getting a touch ID prompt when deleting things or copy/pasting from random folders in my user directory, so I checked my permissions. My user folder has my user with "custom" permissions like 20 times, then Read/write at the very bottom with other users and groups. I can't hit the minus button on those entries, I can only change the permission for each user one at a time. What's up with this?

My user folder has my user with "custom" permissions like 20 times, then Read/write at the very bottom with other users and groups. Terminal should default to opening in your home directory and you can then type 'ls -l' (which is essentially list -long) and check if the folders listed all have your user's shortname followed by staff after them (using output from my computer with the shortname of mercury as an example): code:If any of the folders you were getting prompted to use admin credentials on don't have your shortname and staff next to them that's probably where the issue is. You can use the chown (change owner) command in Terminal to fix it but check first and if that's the case we can go into it further.

In trying to move my Music library to my new Mac, a process I've done several times over the past 20 years, I've hit an infuriating snag. I have the media folder set to ~/Music, and with the same library file from the old machine, music.app insists on moving everything to ~/Music/Music as I play them. Everything's configured the same way on the old machine and the new one, from what I can tell, and they're both on the latest Sonoma version, but the new one just won't behave the same way. Any thoughts?

Maybe delete the Music directory from your home directory (if you can), and then set your Music directory to your home directory? I wouldn’t suggest it though.

I've just gone from a 2011 MBP to a new MacBook Air and, while generally great, it feels like the trackpad scrolling is somehow...different. I've been messing with the scrolling speed under the accessibility settings but that doesn't seem to quite change what I want – like it's more about acceleration than speed perhaps. Does anyone have any suggestions or should I just get used to it?

Like anyone cares, Apple did a rare Monday software update release.. Apple has released new macOS updates https://twitter.com/ClassicII_MrMac/status/1734276277362647074 For anybody who was doing testing with the beta, 14.2 RC2 (build 23C64) is exactly the same as the release build.

Still doesn't make sense that I've had that option selected for literal decades and it just now decided to behave like this, not to mention that I did actually want it to organize songs based on their tags.

That’s progress. I think with some combination of settings from that pane, you could get what you want. Maybe change the media folder but opt to organize it still. It’s that or having to make some compromise on the end result. One warning though, iTunes on Windows will reset the media folder after being updated. Music might not have that problem, but I’d keep it in mind if you do end up messing with that.

Is there a method to open Safari directly in Private mode? I use it pretty regularly to pop open news articles to avoid rate limiting and so on so it would be nice to just go there directly from spotlight/alfred and skip the step of having to open regular safari first. God I wish Reeder would let you muck about with the internal browser/viewer it uses so I could just do it all in once place.

This guy found a way a couple of years ago but it’s sort of invasive. If you can point your reader at a custom command line for the browser then you don’t need to mask off the real Safari and break who knows what https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/416297/open-an-url-in-safari-with-private-browsing

That doesn't look too bad but eh. I may see about setting up an Alfred automation or whatever they call it to pop open a Firefox private instance then. I dropped an email to Reeder's dev for advice on the matter but iirc they're the one dev I've never gotten a response from now that Carrot's guy/gal got back to me.

Very annoying issue since I updated to 14.2, anyone else? The Messages app is showing a phantom unread message. I can get rid of it by quitting the app, removing it from the Dock and opening it again, but as soon as I get a new message the unread count changes to 2 and gets stuck at 1 after I read the only real message. iPhone is updated and normal, not showing anything unread and all the messages are synced properly.
