Hi all, Since I updated to MacOS Sonoma beta, 6 I have the problem that my 4TB external disk (Rocket Pro) does not mount anymore and is not even recognized in Disk Utility. On other Macs with older system software, it mounts without any problem. Am I the only one with this problem? Any suggestions? I appreciate any help you can provide. Stefan

Hello Everyone, I just create a new game name Car Parking Game. Everything is from scratch and all code is mine. But when I submit for review I just receive 4.3.0 spam on my game. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hello everyone, I am running 14.0 (23A344) and have sporadic issues like operation not being permitted when trying to remove some folders in ~/Library after some application was uninstalled using AppCleaner.app, which I have used for years. It works 99% of the time, but sometimes I get errors that some files/folders in ~/Library can not be removed. If I try to "sudo rm -rf" that folder from Terminal, I get operation not permitted. So this did bring me to DiskUtility. I am running MBP 14 M1 Pro. As always when I get a new machine, the first thing I do is reformat SSD to Case Sensitive Encrypted from default Case Insensitive since that gives me issues with my source code compilation when developed between Mac and Linux. Here is my Disk Util. I do not get any warnings on any other partitions/sections under and including "Macintosh HD volume" at the top of the hierarchy. When I run FirstAid on the Data partition, I get the following warnings. Now I can run this repeatedly, and the same errors are produced. I can do a reboot in between running Disk Utilities, and the same warnings. I did boot to Safe Mode and run Disk Utility, and the same warnings. I contacted Apple support and have a case: 102125788648, but I was also instructed to create a case here. Here is my side story, why I can not use Time Machine. As a last resort, I was asked to reformat and reinstall. That is not an option for me at this point since restoring everything is a 1-2 day job. Now, I know there is a Time Machine, but on my two attempts in the past, backups created on brand new external Samsung 970 Pro SSD failed to restore. These two backups/restores were a few months apart. So on the second support call, it was suggested by support to back/restore using TimeMachine. After stating that I had a horror story on my first attempt a few months back, I was assured that the issue had been fixed and I should not have an issue. Oh well, same issue. After spending considerable time with support (a few folks) they noticed that the Time Machine folder structure was wrong and some intermediate folder was missing causing the issue. In both cases, I never heard anything back if it was addressed/fixed, except the support during the second case, assured me that it was fixed. That is why I did try to use Time Machine with him to back up while he was screensharing to make sure I did not do anything unusual. Still, restoration failed. So even Time Machine should make restoration painless, for it was pain, since on the first occasion I lost all the files. On second I could brow Time Machine folders in Terminal and pick files/folders from there. Took a long time. And to throw another strange case, I could only access them from Terminal under my wife's machine which is running an older Mac, but the new restored Mac I "was not able"! which is very weird. Both machines were at the time Intel machines. So I never attempted to use TimeMachine again on M1 Pro. So I hope everyone sees why I do not want to reformat and restore. Now, I have a feeling that most of my problems might be related to Case Sensitive reformated SSD. I can not go back to Case Insensitive (default), as I explained above. I am here to provide any information to help get this fixed. Any suggestions or anything to try? Robert

My 2013 MacBook Pro computer died but I had all my files on iClould One Drive. But now, with my new MacBook Pro when I see a file that I had saved before on the iCloud drive, there is a little cloud symbol with a down error and a couple of people icons next to it. But when I try to open any file I get the error statement: "Couldn't communicate with the helper application". How can I access those files?

After Xcode was updated to last 16 it no longer seeing my iphone 14 pro running ios 17.0 Any help on how to resolve this.

Hey guys, I have the problem that my 2013 MacBook crashes frequently since upgrading to Big Sur. This means that all of a sudden the screen freezes, the fans turn up and all of a sudden the MacBook is off. In Catalina, through research I found out that it's because of the Thunderbolt driver (AppleThunderboltNHI.Kext etc.), which I had always renamed in Catalina using recovery mode (... .kext.BAK). This solved the problem. But now since Big Sur I can't rename the Kext files anymore because I'm only in read-only mode. So I wanted to ask here if there is a possibility to rename the files again? Otherwise the MacBook still runs really well!

I am using a 2021 MacBook Pro 16" with an Apple M1 Max chip and 64 GB of RAM, running macOS Ventura 13.6. I have been using an external drive, the Seagate BarraCuda Compute 2TB Hard Drive. Last week, I used it about five times to save some photos and work on Excel files. However, when I tried to open it the following day, it prompted me for a password, but it failed to mount. The partition type is Apple_HFS, and it is encrypted because I used it with Time Machine a few years ago. I can hear the noise it typically makes when I was working on it, but it doesn't mount. So, I attempted to view it in Disk Utility, but to no avail. I can see the drive, but the partition I use appears gray, and the Mac attempts to mount it. When I try to click on it in Disk Utility, the application crashes, and I have to force quit it. I also tried purchasing a new external hard drive reader to use with my hard drive, but I encountered the same issue. I also tried to work with the Terminal, but it responds very slowly. For example, the 'diskutil list' command took approximately 5 minutes to generate a response, and when I attempted to eject it, it didn't work and remained stuck loading. I have the last six years of my life stored on this drive, so it would be incredible to recover the data. Do you have any suggestions?

This is my first time here, and I'm excited to seek assistance in creating my own VPN app. While I do have some experience with Swift 5, I'm not sure where to begin. I've successfully set up my VPN server using L2TP IPsec, and it has been running smoothly for several months. I can manually connect to it using my iPhone and Mac without any issues.

Hello, I have and Iphone 11 that I purchased back In may, its fairly new, but lately the last couple of weeks it has been acting up, glitching if you will. So i went to see if I needed to update my software. Did that and it hasn't been right since. Today I was trying to get on my apps along with trying to reset and I couldn't even reset the phone it was not working at all. I am wondering what solutions I can utilize to maximize my phone. also the update takes half of my storage. I almost feel like im forced to purchase a new phone in which Im not really trying to do simply because my 11 is fairly new

I can't use openmp with Xcode 15.0

With the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple created a dual sim/multi line phone. How about an IOS update that allows users to assign a different ringtone to each of the phone numbers? Right now, the single ringtone for the phone is used for each individual phone line/number. Let's change this ASAP.

When I try to link a file on macOS, I get: $ cp -l release-source/release/examples/stubs-1-pubsub.test.js . cp: ./stubs-1-pubsub.test.js: Bad file descriptor This made it seem like the copying failed, but ls shows it went fine: $ ls -li release-source/release/examples/stubs-1-pubsub.test.js stubs-1-pubsub.test.js 9825657 -rw-r--r-- 2 carlerik staff 1072 26 sep 16:24 release-source/release/examples/stubs-1-pubsub.test.js 9825657 -rw-r--r-- 2 carlerik staff 1072 26 sep 16:24 stubs-1-pubsub.test.js A related post talks about this error coming from the file system, not the cp util itself. Creating a hard link using the ln command works fine, so the error must be due to something cp does that ln does not, so I fired up the console and captured messages hoping to see something. I cannot see that I do ... Does anyone have an idea what this is caused by?

Hi, I am a high school student currently wokring on an IOT-based project where data is sent from a collection of sensors, to an IOT, to a Database, to an XCode App. It is the last step I am currently stuck on. I am able to get data from the sensors to the database but I'm not sure how to make the database (InfluxDB) transfer data to the app. Any ideas?

I'm trying to use autofs to mount some macFUSE filesystems. However, autofs requires custom filesystems to provide /sbin/mount_* and this directory is not writable nor modifiable via synthentic.conf Using a launch agent or daemon is not desirable as there is a non-blocking delay before the filesystem gets mounted which causes a race condition. Is there any other option to let diskarbitrationd or autofs to automatically mount a macFUSE filesystem?

I'm writing an uninstaller, lets call it UNINS, for my developer id signed Mac app, lets call it APP(it contains system extensions) . UNINS is supposed to delete APP and its associated data. But after INS is done, it needs to delete itself. From my experience, when an app is running and we try to delete it, OS does not allow this operation. How to do this correctly? During uninstallation, if we delete an app from /Applications folder, do we also manually need to delete its data from ~/Library/Containers for all users ? Or this is done automatically by OS? if I need to unload launchdaemon that we installed, can this UNINS do that ? (Because I think unloading daemons require root priveleges)

Everytime I try to set a live wallpaper, I always get an error no matter what it is saying, "Motion from this live photo is not supported as a wallpaper". I have used only live photos AND ones I just made/got on IOS 17. None work... is this feature broken or am I doing something wrong?
