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!

Hi. First, I created AppleRAID JBOD using two 8TB hdd. (choose APFS filesystem and generated single 16TB container.) Then, I tried to added another hdd drives. But, diskutility apps says 'Operation is failed because can't expand volume'. However, new drive is already joined JBOD members. So, I can't expand container volume and also can't remove new JBOD member drive. Is there solution? This is my appleRAID info. And the result when I tried to remove devices.

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

Hello everyone, here I open a post about a serious bug of the APFS Encrypted filesystem which apparently is affecting many users. Suddenly, my external drive (WD 5TB portable) stopped mounting correctly. It asks me for the password, I enter it correctly, it tells me that it is incorrect (while it is), I re-enter it and after a couple of seconds the screen disappears but the disk is not mounted on the desktop. I use Monterey 12.1 on a 16 ”i9 MBP. With disk utility I see the partition (occupied for 1.46 TB) but I cannot use it, since it gives me (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49218). Has anyone solved the problem? Is there any tool that allows me to mount the disk to copy the data? Is it possible that there is such a big bug and Apple does nothing? Thanks everyone for the answers.

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?

Hi, quartz debug 4.2 (from the "Additional Tools for Xcode 14.2") doesn't show most tracking rectangles on macOS Ventura. I tested this on two Macs. Any solution to debug tracking areas on this OS? Thanks.

DADiskCopyDescription() give basic information for disk and partition but not how these info elements are linked together. By example how to get the volume parent container ? How to decode de CFSTR given by DADiskCopyDescription() ? When does DAMediaContent hold "GUID_partition_scheme" or "FDisk_partition_scheme" ? For volume DAMediaContent is something like "C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B" (with volume name in DAMediaName). But DAMediaContent with such numeric value is not always volume (DAMediaName and DAVolumeKind are then empty). And sometime DAMediaContent is empty. Where can I found documentation about DADiskCopyDescription() and the way to get APFS volume\container childs and parent

Hi, Hope you are all fine ! I had a problem on several disk due to bad unmounting caused by Caldigit TS4. The TS4 has/had problem managing hard drives and sleep of the computer… The problem appeared on internal drives pugged into a OWC Dock. The dock is TB2 with Apple TB2 to TB3 pugged into the Caldigit TS4. One of the drives is a 4TB Seagate Exos Enterprise that is brand new and I'm almost sure I formatted it in APFS when using it for the first time. The other/s are 2TB or 3TB but almost sure at that time I was using HFS. The drives are seen But no way to SOS… This particular 4 TB drive seems to respond mechanically well, like spinning when tryning to acces, going to sleep…And is brand new… After reading a few (many actually ;) ) pages on Apple forums I've found, I've tried the diskutil way on terminal… but having some problem with syntax, sometimes it worked sometimes I think I'm not writing correctly so it does nothing… If I understand well this error com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error -119930868 Is a directory problem. A long time ago I used Disk Warrior a lot in the G4/G5 age ;) But it seems it doesn't handle APFS… I've run a scan with Stellar Recovery and this software seems to see all my files… The Hard drive seemed to act normally during all the process… But it seems it doesn't just rebuild the directory and will recover all the files and put them like video in video folder…pictures in picture folder… so I'll have my files but a great mess… I've also tried rhe FSCK command…but didn't undertood enough to get something good… So my question are : As the data seems to be there and the drive still working fine, is there a way to make Mac Os or a software rebuild the directory like Disk Warrior used to do. And not just back uping the files a la Stellar recovery. Could someone make a comprehensive diskutil / fsck tutorial for noobs ;) After the fix , if successful … should I throw this drive away or the prob is only a Mac OS bug… Can the adapted TB2 to TB3 add source of problem ? Can the adapted TB2 to TB3 ON Caldigit TB port add source of problem ? AFPS is still recommanded for external HD Could someone explain those DiskManagement.disenter error Best .V

I have been unable to access my bank account as I need the mobile security app to generate my security code. The updated version requires iOS 13 and my iPhone 6 is only 12.5. Please can you help. I love my iPhone 6 and have no intention of buying a newer model because businesses have foolish chosen to alienate them and possible lose them (been my bank for 29 years!). Apple Team, please can you help me.

Hello, I am getting this error in my application since I upgrade my phone iOS to 16. I was not having this problem with version 15. BackgroundSession <718D5D45-DF8F-4DBA-8FD0-12C532C1C60C> FAILED to UNLINK download file: /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.nsurlsessiond/Downloads/com._______________/CFNetworkDownload_i0tjhI.tmp, errno:1, desc: Operation not permitted The user tap on a button so he can take a picture or select an image in library. Then, the the file is uploaded into Firebase Storage. Then, I am supposed to collect the file url after the upload in Firebase Storage. This was working perfectly. My code has not been modified. Only the iOS. Now my application is not working properly. Any recommendation or solution? Thank you.

I have variants of MacOS installed on external SSD's (using APFS) that I no longer need, mixed with large data sets that I do need. I'd like to wipe the OS on a volume without erasing the whole volume, to avoid the hours-long data copy/archive before wiping the volume to wipe the OS. Is that possible? Moving forward, I can try to segregate data to other volumes, but the production deployment is OS and data on the same volume (again, to avoid copies), so it's not ideal. (I realize it's not a high-traffic use case and unlikely to be supported.) Thanks...
