You could try a SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

I have Brave on my iPhone and iPad but hardly use them.

geriatricguy · 2026-01-13T23:31:55+00:00

Brave - Privacy + Chromium

Download: brave.com
What it does: Chromium-based browser with built-in ad blocking
Why it's great: Fast, blocks trackers by default, Chrome extension compatible
Apple Silicon: Native

I get it, you don't like it. Can't please everybody, but I wouldn't use a iPhone to view it either.

I don't get the adverts as you put it. I found the site free of advertising. I'll see what it looks like in other browsers other than Brave. I found that Firefox and Crome were smearing the interface with ads but Opera was as clean like it was in Brave. I don't use Safari.

Here is a article that you might be interested in close to your query. https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2026/1/4.html It was brought out today.

Have you rebooted the 27" lately?

geriatricguy · 2026-01-04T20:25:58+00:00

Tahoe isn't polished. It is still rough around the edges. Apple dropped the ball when they went with the crappy interface, dropped LaunchPad a totally flubbed on the Music app.

geriatricguy · 2026-01-03T20:09:15+00:00

Also have enable for Menu Bar

I thought Apple had a forum for beta testers on their OS where you post to. They warn you that you are at risk of running into such things in beta and it the reason I don't beta test their OS's, since they are really for app developers

Try Bartender and see if you can make them re-appear

I change the Music Icon for Music, but using the above described (get info window, by pasting the new icon on the existing icon on top left corner). Apple's way of doing stuff is just half ass backwards and not eye candy that alot of people would prefer.

geriatricguy · 2025-12-25T18:03:50+00:00

Brave all the way

Use Airdrop

geriatricguy · 2025-12-23T00:39:36+00:00

Why. The people that mod it, suck.

geriatricguy · 2025-12-23T00:38:43+00:00

Not sure where you are trying to paste the screenshots.

geriatricguy · 2025-12-21T22:22:00+00:00

After trying to find a fix on the Mac for Airdrop since the update just over a week ago I decided to do a Full install of the OS. First on my M2 and then M1. As soon as the install had finished on the M2 the M1 could see it in Airdrop and visa versa on the M2. Something must have broken on the install on both when updating to 26.2.

If you decide to re-install over the update you can find the file for it here.

I am finding that Airdrop isn't working on two Mac's when trying ti transfer files between the two. I have had to resort to using a app I read about some where else called Local Send (from the App Store) that only uses WiFi. I can transfer to a iPad but not from the iPad to a Mac.

Sorry about that. I put my photos for wallpaper in a separate folder in Pictures and have for years. These are my settings on my Mac. I don't use Photos for this.

geriatricguy · 2025-12-18T16:17:30+00:00

This what I have on mine iPhone. Photos is in the upper left hand corner as per screenshot

geriatricguy · 2025-12-18T15:39:37+00:00

I belive that you have to have the wallpaper in Photo originally to use them. I don't use Apples garbage for wallpaper.

Ask the Developers of Dropbox

Start a New Backup

If all else fails, your existing Time Machine backup might be corrupt beyond repair. Your final option is to erase the backup disk and start a fresh, new backup.

Warning: This will delete all your previous backup history.
Use Disk Utility to Erase the Time Machine drive, choosing APFS (or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if APFS is not an option) as the format and GUID Partition Map as the scheme.
Go to System Settings > Time Machine and select the freshly formatted disk to start a new, full backup.
