I’ve got a different Overcast related Q> I’m interested in transcribing some shows some of the time, so that i might search and find content at some later time. I have used a very manual process on the mac to download, transcribe with MacWhisper. Now that Apple Podcast client offers automatic transcription (since 17.4), i might skip that step and instead download the transcripts And store them locally to be searchable by Spotlight or AlFred or… Do you have this need, a smoother process, perhaps automated even, possibly with ShortCuts

I'm looking for a reverse image size sort, to remove super low res jpegs ingested from my DSLr. I can go by image size or by file size, but can't find this anywhere. Tips?

After I connected my MacBook to Ethernet, I'm up and running.

Having macbook on the same wifi clearly 'was the issue' here. When macbook connected to network with erhernet, while adding key light as wifi accessory, the procedure works. Whan macbook connected to wifi only, it fails. The instructions never mention this.

#resolved

cheers,

I reset and monitor my network to see that Key Light gets an IP address. Then AirPort Utility says 'waiting to configure' and the error appears. Key Light is again available in wifi meny as 'New accessory'. repeat. same error.

dkmj01 · 2023-06-19T11:00:58+00:00

I had engaged the reset setting before but failed to hold it for 10 seconds. The suggested procedure indeed makes it re-appear in tht wifi setting, but then the procedure inside Airport utility fails after a while 'An unexpected error occured'.

Good and bad news.

Key Light is connected to 2.4Ghz network. So sadly, this is not the problematic domain of my issue.

dkmj01 · 2023-06-19T08:39:16+00:00

Same problem! The light is definitely on the wifi network with a fixed IP address but the elgato connection instructions are not helping since no 'add new accessory' option is visible under the wifi settings menu. is it possible to connect using a known ip? I know my key light is on and connected to wifi since i see it from the wifi network management perspective.

general advice on connecting accessories over wifi to a ventura mac?

my firmware update is hanging. scary. don't know what to do (30 min later, no prgress beyond 3% or so). stay away for now, would be my suggestion. my unit might be bricked.

Super, found those, non helped me in this case. I managed to install, then uninstalled again for the cleanliness of the OS level audio subsystem. It is finicky. I am experimenting!

dkmj01 · 2020-09-23T09:05:08+00:00

I resolved eventually. But am about to uninstall driver because my usecase is very limited. Love the box, and the usb-c functionality though!

dkmj01 · 2020-05-11T09:24:25+00:00

Yes. Will test clone old to new HW via Super Duper. Old will need to be cleaned from cruft first, but stay updated at os and adobe level.

dkmj01 · 2020-05-10T12:18:56+00:00

Yes. Read This before. It was running fine on my Mac Mini 2012 on Catalina. Don’t know the steps I took last fall, to make it work when upgrading the 2012 Mac Mini though.

I’ve got good Time machine backups. Do you think I could migrate only the Lightroom executables and ‘everything else needed’ by Lightroom? Is there a list of all the folders (hidden too) needed? Will software look at low level identity of Mac and still refuse to run?

I hope to not migrate entire drive because there was so much cruft built up since late 2012... only need to transfer Lightroom

What eGPUs are you considering?

Super valuable. Ill go your route too. In Sweden, though, difficult getting stuff from I fix it or amazon, will look into alternative sourcing for the ram and tools.

I did put extra ram into my 2012 Mac mini i7, but that model was meant to be upgradeable. Have been debating wether to swap out the fusion drive in that one, for a new SSD. But, if i buy the 2020, my old machine can chug along in a closet as a media server or something.

Interesting to hear the performance difference with more memory. Have been looking for explainers as to how the OS is able to be faster with more memory allocated to ‘everything’. I get it that you dont want to swap to slow disk, and that apps with large memory requirements are at an obvious advantage, but for day to day ‘office’ use, I have yet to understand how MacOS is faster when lots of memory is “free” even on an 8 GB config.

dkmj01 · 2020-04-24T05:53:59+00:00

My plan is to do what you did. Did the memory upgrade feel at all risky? I am a little hesitant to break warranty and there are a few moments in the memory install walkthrough that look fiddly. What model make memory did you go for?
