Hello everybody, thanks for any feedback. I updated my cMP 4,1-5,1 from High Sierra to Mojave after installing the Saphire Nitro+ RX580. Since Mojave was installed (over H Sierra), my mac keeps crashing and restarting at sleep. I get mainly 2 kinds of reports -which I do not understand- one about kernel attack and one about bluetooth. Any help / directions is greatly aprecciated!

Hello, I'm having issues running a precompiled binary through Terminal. The binary is a custom fork of software used to send code to a microprocessor through USB. The distributor is a known company and they have the binaries working on their machine (but I don't know which version of macOS they use). I was running Ventura 13.2.1 on a 2021 M1 and upgraded to Sonoma 14.3.1 — neither worked. I'm using zsh. I symlink the location of the binary, and it returns File Exists however, when I try to run the command, I receive zsh: permission denied: command then, when I sudo the command, I receive sudo: command: command not found. If this binary is not signed by Apple, could this be the reason it's not working? Could it be because I have FileVault turned on? Are others having this issue in their applications? Thank you

I'm displaying file structure using DisclosureGroup. And I encountered a memory leak problem. Code Node Node represents a file or a folder. isExpanded is used to indicate if the child nodes are visible. If true, it will find its child nodes, which are set into children. If false, it will clear children for releasing references. class Node: ObservableObject, Identifiable, Hashable, CustomStringConvertible { // ... @Published var name: String @Published var children: [Node]? @Published var isExpanded = false { willSet { if self.isFile { // This node represents a file. // It does not have any children. return } if newValue { if children?.count == 0 { DispatchQueue.main.async { // get child nodes self.children = childrenOf(self.url) } } } else { if children?.count != 0 { DispatchQueue.main.async { // collapse child nodes self.children?.forEach { child in child.isExpanded = false } // clear children when this node is collapsed self.children = [] } } } } } init(/*...*/) { // ... print("init \(name)") } deinit { // ... print("deinit \(name)") } // ... } For convenience, I print some messages when initializing Node and deinitializing Node. TreeNode TreeNode displays Node using DisclosureGroup. struct TreeNode: View { @ObservedObject var parent: Node @ObservedObject var node: Node var body: some View { if node.isFile { Text(node.name) } else { DisclosureGroup( isExpanded: $node.isExpanded, content: { if node.isExpanded { ForEach(node.children ?? []) { child in TreeNode(parent: node, node: child) } } }, label: { FolderNodeView(node: node) } ) } } } struct FolderNodeView: View { @ObservedObject var node: Node var body: some View { Label( title: { Text(node.name) }, icon: { Image(systemName: "folder.fill") } ) } } I use if node.isExpanded for lazy loading. When node.isExpanded is true, it will show node's children and print initialization messages. Otherwise, it will hide child nodes and print deinitialization messages. But unexpectedly it does not print any deinitialization messages when the node is collapsed. This indicates that it retains references and therefore these Node objects still exists in memory causing memory leak. Demo When the node is expanded, its child nodes will be displayed after loading is completed. The code works correctly. Then I collapsed the node, it didn't print any deinitialization messages. And when I expanded it again, it initialized new nodes and deinitialized the old nodes at this time. Deinitialization seems to be delayed. So I guess TreeNode retains references when content is hidden. Then I deleted TreeNode in ForEach. DisclosureGroup( isExpanded: $node.isExpanded, content: { if node.isExpanded { ForEach(node.children ?? []) { child in // TreeNode(parent: node, node: child) } } }, label: { FolderNodeView(node: node) } ) It cannot display the child nodes. But it released reference correctly. So the code works expectedly. After that, I tried to replace TreeNode with Text or Label. I found that none of them released references immediately when I collapsed the node. Why did this happen? Any idea how to fix it?

As I am currently in development of an App for iOS, I also need a Mac. Currently, I am working on the Mac of my girlfriend. But, it turns out that I need a newer version of XCode which is not supported on Monterey. I also can't update Mac OS since it is not supported on this hardware anymore (also can't do it on her machine - it's hers). Long story short, I am now in the process of getting my own Mac. Unfortunately, I am not really familiar with the different Macs out there and wanted to know about longevity or longterm support of these machines regarding OS Updates. I want to be able to update also in the next cycles. As I do not have too much Budget, I wanted to find a refurbished one, but one that still supports OS Updates for a while so that I do not have the same situation next year and have a machine then which also can't update XCode/Mac OS. Is there anything you would recommend?

My operating system Sonoma 14.3.1 does not allow me to use my Brother colour laser printer. This printer still works beautifully and it's beyond me why I'd have to ditch it and buy another just because there is no driver update (to Sonoma). I've tried wireless (which this printer offers), I've tried with USB, I've tried Airprint. No luck. In researching which printers are best suited for my Mac mini and laptop there doesn't seem to be a concrete answer...except for HP but I'm not fond of being forced to purchase their cartridges (with an HP chip) or the printer will not work. Any other brand suggestions that will be guaranteed to work for the next 5 years?

Hello, I am looking to purchase a new Mac device after owning my current macbook pro since 2017, sadly this device operates with a intel processing hardware. The new macbook expectations are that the new device is suitable for developing code for apps on xcode. I would like the make mac product to offer great processing capabilities, portability, cost is another factor and somewhat a concern considering I am a college student. To list out the factors into my purchase decision: Reasonable cost Great portability Processing capability via xcode for app development. Adobe applications will be used but I will not be venturing into the realm of 3D rendering at the moment enough Internal storage space is also important to me Which Mac device can you recommend, and why? Really appreciate the input and guidance some of you may be able to provide!

Hello, I had trouble with bluetooth on my MacBook Air running macOs Sonoma 14.2.1. I could not find some bluetooth devices, like my iPad for instance, so I decided to delete the plist file to "reset" bluetooth settings. Unfortunately bluetooth still behaves the same and additionally PacketLogger stopped working. It stays empty and does not show any traffic. Anybody knows what to do here?

Hello everyone, I'm having a little issue with mounting my external hard drive lately. I've tried quite a few methods in hope of getting it to work again, but so far, no luck. I hope someone can help me solve this issue, or those who have the same problem may also share your insights. My external hard drive was working fine about a week ago. But one day, I ejected the hard drive and the icon disappeared, so I thought it was safe to unplug it. When I did, it said the hard drive was not properly removed. It still works fine when I use it the next day, but the same thing happened. It said the drive was not properly removed after I ejected the drive, waited for the icon to disappear, and then unplugged the drive. After that, it never works again, and the attached images are the info I got when I tried to mount or run first aid on this drive. Please help & thank you in advance! Computer: 27" iMac - MacOS Monterey External Hard Drive: WD_Black 4TB. APFS encrypted

I'm in desperate need of help here... I updated my 2020 MacBook Air from Big Sur to Sonoma and in the process, it seems to have deleted hundreds of files from folders in my desktop. These files were seemingly stored on iCloud as from memory they had the cloud icon beside them and I would often have to redownload them before use. After updating, the folders are still on my desktop but the contents within them are entirely gone. I must also mention that a new folder called 'Relocated Items' has popped up on my desktop but it does not contain anything except for folders within folders. A quick look at online suggestions such as using the finder application to locate them in the iCloud Drive was unsuccessful as they are not visible there either. I don't have a time machine backup of these files as they were seemingly being stored in the iCloud prior to this update. I can't stress enough how important it is that I recover these files as they are all related to my work and contain weeks upon weeks of labour. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!!

I have tried everything mentioned in the previous comments. My IT team and my administrator still can't get the printer to recognize my computer. Everyone in my office who updated to Sonoma hasn't been able to print since the update. Those that chose not to update can still print. Please Apple Team...it's been months. My system: MacBook Pro / M1 processor / Sonoma 14.1.2 OS Printer: Canon iR-ADV C7565 III
