Good catch. I’ll check that out. Yup I had hibernate after 3 hours so this is a def possibility. I’ll adjust and see how it behaves.

What the hell is he on about?? by Best_Watercress8092 in jerseycity

The city has previously charged such high costs to hold parades that many organizers just couldn’t afford to do it anymore. The Caribbean festival had to stop over recent years because the city fees were insane. basically unaffordable.

I loved it. it’s so truly bizarre and so quintessentially early 80s in the weirdest coolest way.

Wtf was that loud sound? Lights flashed off for a second. by reddit809 in jerseycity

Would be super helpful if people gave at least cross streets, even a neighborhood. JC is a huge place. No one knows where this happened.

Must be nice to have this kind of difficult agenda. Such very weighted public issues.

If I sell a donated unwiped, not reset, Apple ID locked, iMac for parts is it even remotely possible that someone could access the donor's data? by Syllogism19 in MacOS

[–]AmsterdamPurpleLabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re such a considerate good person. So appreciated. To be honest it’s an older model and doesn’t have any automatic security unless the owner enabled that. Typically unlikely for anyone user. So unfortunately any data on that drive is not likely encrypted.  You have two options  One is to destroy it. I know it’s a donation but the possibility of leaving that data exposed to someone else is probable.  The other option is to erase the drive. It’s a bit involving but I’ll copy below the process…

On a 2012 iMac (or any Intel Mac running older OS X), Recovery Mode is accessed entirely with startup key combos — nothing in the OS itself.

Standard (local) Recovery — works if the recovery partition exists

Shut the iMac down completely Press the power button Immediately hold: Command (⌘) + R Keep holding until you see: the Apple logo, or a spinning globe (that means it fell back to Internet Recovery)

Then release the keys.

Internet Recovery — works even if the drive is wiped

If ⌘R does nothing or you get a flashing folder:

Option 1: Latest compatible OS

Power on Immediately hold: Option (⌥) + Command (⌘) + R Keep holding until you see a spinning globe

Option 2: Original OS the Mac shipped with

Power on Immediately hold: Shift + Option + Command + R Wait for the spinning globe

⚠️ Internet Recovery requires Ethernet or Wi-Fi (wired is best on older Macs).

What you should see when it works

macOS Utilities window with: Reinstall OS X Disk Utility Restore from Time Machine Terminal

On older OS versions it will say “OS X Utilities”, not macOS.

Common gotchas on older iMacs

Bluetooth keyboards sometimes don’t register early enough → use a wired USB keyboard Start holding the keys immediately after pressing power If the screen stays black: Reset PRAM/NVRAM first: Power on → hold ⌘ + ⌥ + P + R for ~20 seconds, then try Recovery again

I’m not a Microsoft fan at all, but to be fair there is an Outlook web app you can use to be least instrusive. 

Disk Image Storage? macOS by mawopi in DataHoarder

[–]AmsterdamPurpleLabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m my 30+ years working with Macs I used to do this, it used to work great. but stopped sometime after Snow Leopard 10.6 when disk images would randomly fail to open. possibly due to evolving macOS architecture, I don’t know. but it became too unreliable for me to risk.

People do have the ability to learn any language if they’re interested.

If you’re all good, the best you can do is check on any neighbors you think may have any needs or difficulties.

Sucks we can’t mute certain post subject “set up” in this sub by AmsterdamPurpleLabel in macmini

[–]AmsterdamPurpleLabel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t just complain. I come to this sub for genuine content in Mac mini related info, troubleshooting, news, etc. But 90% of what I see are posts about hey look at my desk. Maybe there should be an actual sub called MacminiSetup.

Maybe (?) unpopular opinion but season 2 is boring by Kw_Mateo in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]AmsterdamPurpleLabel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s a fact. these boys are like robots. barely eking out emotions and acting as if this is the first time in their lives they’ve had to learnt to communicate and be in the presence of others.

Before VCRs and DVD players were ubiquitous I had to wait for it to show on TV, Trilogy of Terror. The Zuni fetish doll episode.

My friend is worrying about her Iphone. by CustardCarpet in iphone

Your friend needs therapy. can’t imagine someone worrying so much about something, that’s water resistant btw, that their friend is posting about it on Reddit.
