I feel like an idiot because I don't know what happened but today, for some reason, all my system sounds changed. I'm on an M2 Air so had the latest OS. Out of the blue my Slack notification sound is different, even though in the app it's still the normal one, message notification and sent/received sounds changed. What the hell?

Note- I'm aware that KE can do this, but it's complete overkill for my needs, requires permissions that I'm not entirely sure I'm comfortable with, and to my understanding has issues with non-English languages. Wanting to know if there's a way to do this with something more simple, or at least where I can reasonably read the code:
Unlike Windows (and Linux OSs that I'm aware of), MacOS does not apply modifier keys from one keyboard to another. For example, on Windows, Shift on one keyboard and "1" on another results in "!", whereas on MacOS it results in "1". It seems like there should be som ..read more

I just updated to Sonoma 14.4, and now when I try to take a screenshot, I select the area of the screen I want, press Return, and nothing gets saved to my Desktop (which is what I have selected).
But what's worse is that now my entire screen is dim except for the selection area. So it's stuck in the "screenshot mode," where your selection is normal brightness but the rest of your screen is dim. I can't get out of it by pressing Escape. I've locked my computer and unlocked it—it returns to normal when it's locked but goes right back to the dim when I unlock it. I've tried taking another sc ..read more

The Play/Pause button on my MacBook Air M1 is not working. I also noticed that the icon indicating the currently playing media (on the top bar) shows an incorrect playback status. In other words, the video is playing, but it shows a pause. I am unable to change it there as well.

Switched to Sonoma on Mac Mini a couple of months ago and it has been a disaster. My commercial printing on Ventura was absolutely fine, but now, at complete random as the behaviour is not consistent, Sonoma decides to add a bleed to my print pages and shrinks the page instead of printing actual size(to the edge of the pages).
I've since updated the OS to the most current version 14.3.1 to see if any bugs might have been corrected, have installed new Sonoma-compatible drivers on ALL of my printers, and the same issues are occurring. There is no consistency, no apparent solution, and I'm extre ..read more

I have a 27" Intel iMac (2019). Lately, it's been acting bizarre. So my first inclination was to run Disk Utility from Recovery mode.
Booting in Recovery mode and running Disk Utility still prevents me from unmounting the FusionDrive (says it's in use). So I created a bootable USD Sonoma installer to try to reinstall the OS.
Booting from the USB doesn't really work. Option key booting allows me to select the USB drive and it appears to be booting, but then I'm given the choice to install on the USB drive only.
Quitting the installer takes me to the Recovery mode screen... where I'm back in th ..read more

I have attempted various solutions, such as enabling/disabling iCloud's 'Optimize Mac Storage' feature and content caching from accessibility settings. However, my documents always get redownloaded whenever I restart my Mac or after a few days of usage. Although it doesn't bother me much, this constant redownloading drains my cellular plan quickly. What solutions do I have?

Hi,
I'm trying to get a 2012 iMac running Mojave to connect to a shared folder on a Windows 10 desktop. I've enabled all of the permissions on the Windows side, and by enabling SMBv1 on the PC the two computers are able to see each other. The PC can connect to the Mac's shared folder just fine, but when trying to connect to the PC from the Mac I get "There was a problem connecting to the server "eliane". Check the server name or IP address, and then try again...". I've tried typing in the IP address as well as the computer name, using cifs:// as well as smb:// and am stumped. A 2015 Macbook P ..read more

Hi,
Is there a (relatively) easy way to downgrade Sonoma to Ventura?
I have Time Machine backups going back to 2019.
Sonoma on my MBP 13” 2018 is an absolute mess, and with each update it seems to get worse. It’s ridiculously slow, even after a Safe Boot nothing changed.
On Ventura my MBP seemed a lot smoother.
I tried a Recovery Mode boot, but then I get the message that ‘there’s no users on this volume to recover’.
Has anyone been able to get a downgrade to work?

A few days ago I made a post on apple community asking for help to solve my problem. I did all the steps everyone mentions, reseting SMC, NVRAM, reinstalling MacOS, resetting the Touch Bar. Nothing Worked, so i got the “its an hardware problem” answer. But now I know for sure its not a hardware problem. I was reseting my pc to send it for repair and after that the touch bar turned on. I suspected this was gonna work because when trying to reset the bar I noticed the processes I was suposed to close were not there. So, yesterday I backed up my pc from a time machine I had made before resetting ..read more
