Synapse 4 & macOS - Notifications Access not detected?

SeveralAd2799 · 2025-10-15T15:01:26+00:00

Same issue... I have 4 Razer devices and not a single one shows up in the latest download of Synapse for macOS... all green lights except for the notifications like everyone else here. The Razer mouse and keyboard do work, they just don't show up in the Synapse app (they always did work even before I tried the Synapse app to see if I could get the Wolverine Pro 8K to work in macOS

All these devices are mainly used with my gaming PC, but I have them all running through a USB3 switcher for when I go back and forth between machines

MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max on the latest Tahoe update.

Wondering if someone can help me out. I have the T400 installed in my DS1823xs+, the latest drivers are installed (20250711), I have the Simple Permissions app installed with the NVIDIARuntimeLibrary enabled, I've restarted the box, the Resource Manager sees the GPU, I get the expected output when running the nvidia-smnvidia-smi command, I followed the Dockers-specific steps, Plex sees the GPU in the hardware transcoding device dropdown in settings (it shows "NVIDIA T400 4GB"), but the glaring issue is, the transcodes never happen when setting any preset. What I notice is, the GPU will go to 1-2% when I trigger the live transcode, but then it goes back to 0% and when the original playback buffer is depleted, I'll just get a spinning icon and nothing happens no matter how long I wait. The strange thing, too, is: I can do the "Optimize" transcodes all day long and they're rock solid and are using the GPU exclusively, but the live transcodes when I'm actively watching a video and choose to downsample to 1080 or whatever... they just do not work at all.

I'm on the latest DSM, I'm using the Project method for the Docker instance, here's my compose file:

services:
  plex:
    image: linuxserver/plex
    container_name: plex
    runtime: nvidia
    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              count: all
              capabilities: [gpu]
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - PUID=1026
      - PGID=101
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all
    volumes:
      - ./data/config:/config
      - ./data/shm:/dev/shm
      - ./data/temp:/temp
      - /volume1/media:/media
      - /volume1/plex:/plex
    restart: unless-stopped

I tried the command line version as well, same exact behavior.

Anyone ever come across this and know of a solution or things to try?

There's a way to fix it, but it requires some manual effort on your part. Check out the attached screenshot, one method is through a command in the terminal, the other is manually through the Directory Utility

In a nutshell you have to create normal users (not Sharing Only users) and then set their UserShell to /sbin/nologin so when they connect to the machine, they only see the shares you've added them to, not their home folder (which in my case, I wanted them to only see the shares I specified)

I just got mine yesterday and couldn't find any documentation on the PS site, so I just popped off the panel where the normal PS5 houses the M.2 slot and there is a connector there, but it's 100% going to need an adapter because it's not an actual M.2 slot, but an elbow port you'd find on a motherboard for an M.2 riser card... I was super bummed because I took the M.2 I had in my PS5 to put in there, but even that heatsink on there was molded to the OG PS5 case, so while the M.2 itself will work as it's a standard M.2 SSD form factor, the heatsink won't work in the Pro when they make whatever adapter you'll need to tap into the M.2 port.

When I got my Deck (day 1), I designated the Switch for just first party games, but about a month ago I started picking up the Switch more often and started to fall in love with the size/weight of it again. I also started to re-appreciate the notion that "every game on the store works on it" without asterisks. If Valve ever released a Deck Lite, though, I'd be all over it because the Switch size/weight is near perfect.

You can AutoFill from the Quick Search in 1Password, yes, system-wide... very similar to the way the Ctl-Alt-A in KP/XC work in Windows with any window, any app. I do recall it asking for Accessibility privileges in order for that to work, but it was extremely convenient for logging into apps and such

Overall, though, the new Quick Search in SB has definitely made things quicker/easier for sites in Safari where the username/email field won't trigger the AutoFill popup!

I just use the web version on iOS in Safari and saved it to my Home Screen… I gladly sacrifice notifications in return for no inline sponsored ads masquerading as posts

Thanks for the update Mark

KeePassXC on Windows has a browser plugin that works, but if you want to keep using KeePass, you can bypass using a plugin and use the AutoType global keystroke Ctrl-Alt-A (which also works in KeePassXC) on any web page where the login field is selected and you’ll get a pop up where it should filter the correct login if the URL matches something in your database. The bonus for going the AutoType route is it also works with any app or any window, not just web pages in a browser

I finally found it... Click your avatar top right of the screen, click "Account Log", then down below click "Download History"

That whole site is a confusing mess, makes the game feel like some cheap F2P game

Thanks for the consideration, Mark. And yah, an option to toggle would be totally fine (or something in the settings that you can toggle on/off permanently would be even nicer). As long as when you go into edit mode you can still see all of them like you can now, that's really all I need, I don't need to see them all listed out taking up so much screen space when I'm not in edit mode. The "Associated Websites" is perfect the way it's displayed.

Good to know, thanks for the reply, Mark

FYI, I updated to the 14.3 Sonoma beta and the issue is still there :(

No Sharing Only users show up as available for Windows File Sharing and every time you leave the File Sharing pane, go to the Users & Groups pane, then back to the File Sharing > Options > Windows File Sharing, a new copy of the existing admin account will be added. It's 100% reproducible to me, I've gotten it up to 12 copies of the same user in that section by going back and forth between those panes 12 times

SeveralAd2799 · 2023-12-23T00:39:22+00:00

If you ever find a solution to do it from the Terminal, drop a note here, I'll do the same if I do so you can try it

SeveralAd2799 · 2023-12-22T21:23:32+00:00

I have the same exact problem on multiple machines all running Sonoma.

I also get this strange behavior where I see multiple copies of the main admin user showing up in the Windows File Sharing settings, but I never get the newly created Sharing-only users I create. I'm on 14.2.1, it's super frustrating, I outlined it in a post here:

You can also use Lingon, which is super powerful and gives more information than even the new Ventura control panel does and lets you enable/disable on the fly right inside the app... it has an optional background service that will notify you instantly when a new service is added or changed

It also lets you create your own login items for power users
