+ | Suppose you're running Resolve and trying to archive a project, and maybe try to rename it. You can see that the Finder window for storing the project is the active window and it's also covered by the View Projects window, it's impossible to get to it. I figured out what to do on 20200105. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====Dock Tricks==== | ||
+ | ===Add space to Dock=== | ||
+ | You want to add one (maybe more -- repeat if so) space to the dock so you can group the icons on the dock. This from [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Launch the terminal app. (It's in Applications/ | ||
+ | - At the terminal prompt, type this command: '' | ||
+ | - This will cause the Dock to reboot (go away and return) but now there' | ||

+ | - Repeat to add more spaces. | ||
+ | - To remove a space, right-click or control-click it and select Remove from Dock. | ||

+ | ====See Wifi Passwords==== | ||
+ | You're connected fine to a Wifi but you need to know the Wifi password to tell someone else or for another machine to connect. | ||
+ | Here's how to see Wifi passwords on a Mac using Terminal (Thanks to [[https:// | ||

+ | ===== Reinstall MacOS ===== | ||
+ | Use MacOS Recovery to reinstall the Mac operating system.\\ | ||
+ | All this section comes from [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Start up from MacOS Recovery==== | ||
+ | First make sure that your Mac has a connection to the Internet. | ||
+ | These instructions assume you have an Intel processor. | ||
+ | - Power on machine and immediately press Command (⌘)-R. | ||
+ | - The four-choice menu comes up, where you can: Restore from Time Machine, Reinstall macOS, run Safari, and run Disk Utility. | ||
+ | - You should choose to Reinstall macOS. | ||
+ | If you're asked to select a user you know the password for, select the user, click Next, then enter their administrator password. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Reinstall MacOS==== | ||
+ | Select Reinstall MacOS from the utilities window in MacOS Recovery, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Follow these guidelines during installation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac. | ||
+ | * If the installer doesn' | ||
+ | * If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD. | ||
+ | * Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time. | ||
+ | After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Other macOS installation options==== | ||
+ | When you install macOS from Recovery, you get the current version of the most recently installed macOS, with some exceptions: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * On an Intel-based Mac, if you use **Shift-Option-Command-R** during startup, you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. If you use **Option-Command-R** during startup, in most cases you're offered the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Otherwise you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. | ||
+ | * If the Mac logic board was just replaced, you might be offered only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. If you just erased your entire startup disk, you might be offered only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | You can also use these methods to install macOS, if the macOS is compatible with your Mac: | ||

+ | ===== Restore Old iMac or MacBook ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You have an old iMac or MacBook and a disk that is blank, either it didn't come with the machine or it has been erased. You want to get the machine running MacOS. | ||
+ | The players here: ABCD=Old iMac or MacBook you want to fix. EB9U=Running MacOS machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The process is: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Get info about the old iMac or MacBook (we'll call the machine ABCD). | ||
+ | * Determine what MacOS versions can run on the ABCD machine. | ||
+ | * Get a TimeMachine backup from another iMac or MacBook that is running a version that can run on the old one (we'll call the machine EB9U). | ||
+ | * Boot the old ABCD machine and restore the MacOS from the TimeMachine backup of EB9U. | ||
+ | * Modify the ABCD machine name and other parameters to distinguish it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We'll go over each of these steps in turn. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Get info about the old iMac or MacBook (ABCD) ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Visit: https:// | ||
+ | - Enter the old device' | ||
+ | - Do the Captcha | ||
+ | - The information reported will show an ID. The ID is of the form “iMac 10, | ||
+ | - It's a good idea to write down the other information and attach it to the ABCD machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Determine what MacOS versions can run on the old ABCD machine. ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * You can do a DuckDuckGo (or Google) search to see what MacOS will run on your machine. | ||
+ | * For the purposes of this section, we'll assume that the machine is 10,1 or greater and not 19,2 or greater and that your EB9U machine is running High Sierra 10.13. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Get a TimeMachine backup from another iMac or MacBook that is running a version that can run on the old one. ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Supposing you have a machine (we're calling EB9U) running High Sierra and the ABCD machine can also run High Sierra (and you may have determined this in the previous step. | ||
+ | - Perform a TimeMachine backup of the High Sierra machine (EB9U) onto a removable disk USB disk. | ||
+ | - When the backup completes, disconnect the TimeMachine backup disk. | ||
+ | - Power off the EB9U machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Boot the old ABCD machine and restore the MacOS from the TimeMachine backup. ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Connect the TimeMachine backup (from EB9U) to the old machine ABCD. | ||
+ | - Make sure that the EB9U machine is powered off (or at least disconnected from the network). | ||
+ | - Power on the ABCD machine and hold down the Command (⌘) and R buttons (this is the Windows key on a non-Mac keyboard). | ||
+ | - See [[https:// | ||
+ | - Keep holding these keys down after the Apple logo appears, until the Recovery screen appears. | ||
+ | - In the upper-right of the screen (on ABCD) you may see a way to connect to WiFi. Do this. | ||
+ | - Select the ” | ||
+ | - Select the Time Machine backup drive and the backup on that drive to restore from, and OK. You may have other confirmation messages to OK. | ||
+ | - The restore may take some time, maybe an hour. Continue after the restore completes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Modify the ABCD machine name and other parameters to distinguish it. ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - Rename the ABCD machine. | ||
+ | - Change user and login information on ABCD. | ||
+ | - Go through the Settings (Select the Apple and System Preferences) and adjust as necessary on ABCD. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Upgrade old iMac/ | ||
+ | You want to upgrade your iMac or MacBook but Apple won't let you because the machine is too old. The guy called Mr. Macintosh may have the answer. | ||
