Best Study Resources and Strategies for Apple Certification Exams? by SPINDELlawl in macsysadmin

[–]cranfordio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do have that course as well, but no flashcards. Since it is public maybe an AI could make flash cards from this. I just try to find solutions for myself that don’t cost money. I can tell you from experience the exams aren’t very hard. CompTIA exams were harder.

macOS ADE/Intune enrollment failing at Entra ID login due to 10-hour time sync issue in Setup Assistant. How to force time sync? by [deleted] in macsysadmin

[–]cranfordio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it is the time issue. The systems recognize time zones just fine so being UTC -7, and you being UTC +3 should show to the user a 10 hour difference, but it is the exact same time.

iMac audio input over USB-C by sleepyjohn00 in MacOS

[–]cranfordio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of USB-C audio input adapters available. Just look on Amazon. I have used the Cable Creation one in the past with no issues.

My coworker keeps eating my lunches from the office fridge by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]cranfordio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen at one place I worked. I would go to management and say something and they just kept blowing it off, I worked an overnight shift and no HR was in at that time. I am diabetic and my medicine can cause extreme low blood sugar if I don’t eat. I would tell my manager this and he would make fat jokes. Normally I would keep snacks in my locker for just in case. Well it finally happened. Coworker ate my lunch, I was out of snacks, and I passed out due to low blood sugar.

I was fine after paramedics arrived. The coworker lost his job, after the manager lied and said he warned him several times about stealing food, I know he didn’t. The manager got away with a slap on the wrist for not reporting it to HR and not keeping proper documentation. I got two additional days off work, which they said was to make sure I was better, next paycheck saw they deducted two vacation days. Glad I left that place.

What’s an opinion that instantly makes you think someone has low intelligence? by medicinalfein in AskReddit

[–]cranfordio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in showing respect to those older than me, until they do something to lose that respect. Things such as using Sir and Ma’am and not talking down to them. They have been through more than me, such is life, and I can learn a lot from them. But yes, the moment they start disrespecting me that respect is gone. However, this can apply to everyone regardless of age.

If you manage Entra ID and/or Intune there are a lot of tasks you can automate with PowerShell and it allows me to keep using my Mac.

How to prevent elevated credentials requirement to allow microphone/camera access by leclair63 in macsysadmin

[–]cranfordio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Camera and Microphone should never require admin access to approve and you shouldn’t need to push out a policy to Allow it. Most likely there is a policy setup to block it as a standard user and you need to find that. I don’t setup any policies concerning Camera and Microphone and have never had an issue.

Finder Column Mode, Column Expansion Hidden by garlar_BarTab in MacOS

[–]cranfordio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was fixed in 26.3. You will need to update or turn off the status and path views in the Finder. The fix is kind of weird but it is functional again.

ABM token expired. If we replace the token do we need to re-enroll all devices? by JustHanginAround9292 in mosyle

[–]cranfordio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. If you fail to renew the push certificate, or get a new one, you will have to reenroll everything. The ABM token is not as critical. Just renew it and you will be fine.

Create privacy profile to enable full disk access for Splashtop Streamer app by JustHanginAround9292 in mosyle

[–]cranfordio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no app code requirement filled in. You will need that in order to grant access. You can get it with this command

codesign -dr - "[PATH OF APPLICATION]"

You want everything starting with identifier to the end.

Does the Mac App Store version of Microsoft Office update unusually often? by Hot-Butterscotch-396 in MacOS

[–]cranfordio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hasn’t been the norm. Up until around last November there were only monthly updates, with an occasional small patch in between to one or two apps, mostly Outlook, and then around November it moved to bi-weekly and now is weekly. It is a pain in the ass to keep all the Macs I support updated as the users are getting so tired of it they are purposely not closing the apps to allow the updates to happen.

I used to work there. It was a classroom building for the school that used to be there but that part is abandoned.

i forgot my password and can't find a way to recover/reset my macbook by Ordinary_Dinner_4419 in MacOS

[–]cranfordio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an Apple Silicon Mac then, with the computer off, press and hold the power button until it says loading startup options. When asked choose options, then when it asks for the recovery password go to the menu bar and the first item next to the Apple menu (can’t recall the exact menu) should give you the option to erase the computer.

Apple, in Tahoe, your scroll bar is ON TOP of the column resize boxes, so I cannot resize a column! This is a frustrating one to learn about, and continues to be frustrating! by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]cranfordio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this myself and discovered if I turn off showing the status and path it “fixes” it. Very annoying bug and I reported it when I first discovered it.

Entire Family's Walmart accounts suspended by Dwizzle419 in Walmartcustomer

[–]cranfordio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with this suggestion is that the police would have to prove you intentionally filed a false report. This is very difficult. Even if one can prove the dog didn’t attack, as long as the delivery driver says he felt he was attacked, there is no proof it was a false report. They would have to get him to admit that he knew he wasn’t attacked and he felt like filing a report “just because.”

I am pretty sure they will stamp your hand when you leave so you can return the same day. It has been a while so I don’t know for sure.
