Hi Guys,
I have a client with a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.13. We discovered his Safari home page is set to http: slash slash search dot jimbrie dot com. It added some extensions as well.
I ran the attached code to reset Safari which took care of the extensions but cannot change the home page.
mv ~/Library/Safari ~/Desktop/Safari-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/Apple\ -\ Safari\ -\ Safari\ Extensions\ Gallery; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/Apple\ -\ Safari\ -\ Safari\ Extensions\ Gallery; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/PubSub/Database; \
rm -Rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState

I have followed several websites that tell you to go into various Library folders and manually delete suspicious files. I have found nothing suspicious in the designated library folders. I even ran Malwarebytes for Mac but no luck. In addition, I cannot find any suspicious the Applications folder that matches known malware pertaining to jimbrie dot com.

Any suggestions for changing the homepage from http: slash slash search dot jimbrie dot com ?

I am looking for a SW tool like Excel or AirTable that can handle records/lines that are subordinate to another record/line, Parent/Child.  Or even a database tool, if an average End-User can handle it by themselves.
For Example, like this in Excel:
  1    Car      Red      Mustangs        Convertible
  2                2015    11000 miles    $24,500      
  3                2011     37,500 miles  $21,750
  4                2013     22,000 miles  $19,000
  5   Truck   White   Tacomas         Ext Cab      
  6                2017    12,500 miles   $18,750
  7                2014    43,000 miles   $21,950
So in this example I have 3 Cars and 2 Trucks ... the issue is that I want to be able to SORT on Car or Truck and have those sub-items (like "2015  11000 miles  $24,500" stay together under each parent item.  And the option to show or hide those sub-items would be awesome, so I can print a Report either way !!!
Solution can be on Mac, Windows, Online, any method.
Thanks all in advance for any help!

I Really hate Apple's little "Reminders" app and would love to be rid of it. But of course it is protected in OSX! I've tried all the likely hi-end un-installers, even TinkerToolSystem, but with no luck. That app is STAYING PUT!
I feel certain that one of you Experts out there will know a way to kill "Reminders."
Here's my system info:

Model Name:      iMac
OSX Ver 10.11.6 El Capitan
  Model Identifier:      iMac16,2
  Processor Name:      Intel Core i5
  Processor Speed:      3.1 GHz
  Number of Processors:      1
  Total Number of Cores:      4
  L2 Cache (per Core):      256 KB
  L3 Cache:      4 MB
  Memory:      8 GB
  Boot ROM Version:      IM162.0206.B00
  SMC Version (system):      2.32f20
  Hardware UUID:      D4B98A7B-2DD0-5340-B795-460C71675BD5

Any bright ideas out there?

Hi

I have one table with fields for COSTCENTRE and ANNUALBUDGET.
The table has 7 records

I have another table with fields for COSTCENTRE, ACTUAL and TOTALACTUAL (which is a summary of the ACTUAL)
There are many records in this table

I want a report that shows the COSTCENTRE, its BUDGET and the total of all the transactions for that cost centre on the same line.
I would also like to see the variance between the BUDGET and the TOTALACTUAL
How do I do this?

The tables are related through the COSTCENTRE fieldKHub-for-EE.fmp12

Many thanks

Michael

Without making a short story long, how can I delete all the music from my iPhone 7 & start over?
Apparently, Apple is a firm believer of the 'if it works, why not fix it' philosophy...

Does anyone know what I need to change to get this VBA code to work in Excel for Mac? It works fine in Windows.

It is a show/hide toggle button for rows while the caption on the button changes as well. I used a form button (not ActiveX).

Sub HideDone()
Dim Shp As Shape
   
   Set Shp = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
   If Shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Hide Done" Then
      Shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Show All"
      Range("A1").AutoFilter 10, "<>11. Published", xlAnd, "<>Cancelled"
   Else
      Shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Hide Done"
      ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
   End If
End Sub

Open in new window


The message I get is
Run-time error 1004
Method 'TextFrame' of object 'Shape' failed

This code is highlighted in yellow
If Shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Hide Done" Then

Hi,  I use 1Password from Agilekeychain.  On My IOS 11 devices and on my Sierra 10.12.6 1Password was configured to use Dropbox as a sync destination.   iOS 11 upgrade changed that to iCloud.  How do I change it back so my syncs will work between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone and iPad.

Thanks,
Howie

What's the best way to update Mac mini "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 (Mid-2010) from 10.6.8 to either El Capitan or Sierra or at least something newer than 10.6.8. We do not mind doing fresh install. We have other El Capitan Mac which we could use to create an installation image. Can we just install El Capitan and will it automatically activate and not ask for licence serial number? Will drivers still be available?

Regards,
Tom

We use whatapps and are always deleting the movies and video that we received.  We do this so we don't jump the 5gb limit in iCloud.  However, this morning the iCloud was in 500mb available.  When searching what apps as taking up, it was whatapps with 3.5gb as the largest.

The question is, if we delete videos contents in whatapps, it should also reduce the backup area in iCloud? (say, whatapps backup in icloud is 3.5gb, so we delete the device videos that sum up 2 gb, the next time it back up whatapps, the backup area in iCloud for whatapps should read 1.5gb)

Are we correct in this?  Besides buying more space in iCloud, what can we do to reduce this space? Can we find the Biggest Chats in WhatsApp and clean it up?

Please advice.

I recently upgraded a user's iPhone from the 6 to the 8 and he pointed out that while all the main stuff transferred over fine, the autocomplete/recent history for e-mail addresses didn't but was something he used frequently. (I transferred via itunes backup.) I can't find much on this online to see if it's possible to bring this over. He doesn't even have iCloud set up, which is what I saw mentioned a few times. Any thoughts?

Can anyone recommend a Performance Test Benchmark software for Apple Mac's running OS X?

I'd like to measure the Disk/Ram/Disk-Swapping/etc on my current Mac against any scale/benchmark, so that I can go to the Apple store and purchase a new Apple Mac that is at least as fast as my current Mac, or compare the Performance of my other Macs again one another.

Working on transitioning our employees to be remote workers.  We want to have a virtualized office experience where we see and hear each other.  I tried that with Skype with on user and the video was awesome and sound was great...then after 10 minutes it crashed her computer.  So much for Skype.  Then we tried FaceTime using our phones, but the image was super grain-ey and blur-ey and sound was in and out.  

What suggestions do you guys have?  We would like good video and audio and have it done in a way that doesn't impact our workstations or tie up our office phones.

I had looked into this:

http://www.doublerobotics.com/double2.html

It's a little pricey and I don't think we need the robot maneuverability.

Anyway, I wonder about the bandwidth issue, or will that become an issue?  I am not sure what crashed her, but I assume Skype was hogging the internet bandwidth while she was VPN connected on her laptop and that somehow mucked the OS?

Mac OSX question

I have a large library of digital media. Most of it is kept "offline" but the library software I use (Plex) uses media files to build the library and so I need to use placeholder files.

Using 30 second "this file is archived" videos I can easily catalog offline movies in Plex. I "rsync" the directory structure without files and then "do cp" a placeholder into each movie directory and rename using the parent folder name.

For TV shows this isn't practical as there can be hundreds of episodes per show. I would like to know if there is a way to duplicate the folder/file structure of a tv show, with many episodes under a single folder, using the same placeholder file.

To reiterate, the ultimate goal is to take a placeholder file eg. "placeholder720p.mkv" and use this file to recreate the source directory with the same filenames. So in the end I will have a folder that looks identical to the source, but consists of this placeholder file duplicated over and over. Also, there are non-alphanumeric characters and spaces in the filenames to be duplicated.

We may be transitioning to having multiple employees work remotely from home.  We are looking for ways to create an office environment, virtually.  I looked at this:

http://www.doublerobotics.com/double2.html

and it looks useful, but seems like it is just Facetime on a remote controlled dolly.  In their solution, they recommend using iPads on either end for displaying the video portion and the audio portion. The rep I spoke with from Double Robotics said he is in Washington DC and has a Robot unit in their San Fran office. He controls the robot and has it take "him" into his bosses office for a meeting, or down the hall for conference with co-workers.  Sound interesting, but in our application, we just have one group office here, then a few people "officing' from their house.

Do any of you have input or other suggestions on how a remote worker can have visual and audio of our office on a device at their office in their house?  Ideally it would be two-way, so that chatter in our office is heard there, and chatter there is heard here, thereby somewhat re-creating the group office experience.

Hello I’m using a minidisplay to DVI converter on a retina 2013. Works fine inside OS x or Windows with bootcamp. The problem is the monitor stopped working and I will give my computer malfunction like it is to another person, but when I press Command + R to make the proper data deletion and re-installation to factory, the signal is not passed to the monitor and of course the monitor of the retina not work and I can’t operate. How can I make to pass the signal to the monitor with the mini display to DVI in restoration menu with Command + R

Thank you

How do I copy folder of 70 photos from latest version of OS X high Sierra to iPhone 8S (iOS 11.4) using iTunes. This is copying (or moving) photos without changing /deleting any other files. Ads for other Apps say iTunes can corrupt other files.

Failure with TimeMachine backups. OS Problem?

I had an external disk fail to complete the Time Machine backup with no error message, that I can find. I eventually started afresh using Disk Utility. BUT it still failed!

On another front, I have been told I should re-install the underlying OS on my machine, which I am afraid to do without a current backup!

I do use Cloud based Carbonite, but do not feel safe until I have a hard external backup disk.

The reason I was advised to re-install my OS was that while using Finder, incrementing through my pictures, sometimes the cursor jumps to the end of the list. I did try some small instruction on Mac start-up, if I recall, that involved holding down certain keys.

There was a second instruction, but I sadly can on longer find that post.

So, the last suggestion was to re-install the underlying OS. And it seems I am there right now.

Can anyone suggest a nest step for me?

I can not make a current backup of my machine.

Thanks.
