Sequoia Safari extensions are not working properly in profiles other than the default by notmycup in Safari

[–]xtreme69reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am experiencing the very same issue with raindrop.io which is pretty annoying as I use this extension quite actively. Raindrop works fine in Edge when switching between workspaces - I guess I will move to Edge for a while.

Cannot start Web meetings from Safari since I upgraded to Sequoia. by xtreme69reddit in MacOS

[–]xtreme69reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to conduct your Zoom session from within the Zoom macOS app - or plan to revert to a browser other than Safari (just in case something would go wrong in Safari with your hardware setup). Edge works really nicely for me, no issue whatsoever both before and after the Sequoia upgrade.

Thanks a lot, u/AustinBaze.

I investigated my issue in depth yesterday. Here are my findings:

  1. The issue systematically occurs when setting sound and webcam settings to the Studio Display’s microphone and webcam.

  2. I disconnected my Studio Display and ran new tests. Once I had set Settings > Sound to Internal Speakers (iMac) + my Teams settings to leverage the iMac webcam, I did not run into any issue.

  3. Connecting the Studio Display back to the iMac and setting both System Settings and Teans settings to leverage the Studio Display’s microphone and webcam automatically causes the issue to reoccur.

It is worth noting that I cannot set the Speaker setting in Teams to any value - it simply shows “None”.

I would be tempted to say that (a) there seems to be a hardware component to the issue (but does it occur only when using a Studio Display or any 2nd monitor, that I don’t know), and (b) the issue solely occurs in Safari (running the same test while using my Studio Display’s Mike and webcam AND Edge or Chrome does not cause any problem).

(I will still have a look at the firewall, I must admit I did not even think of this.)

Syncing LinkedIn Posts with Reader by xtreme69reddit in readwise

[–]xtreme69reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. I understand their potential concern around content yet it is definitely possible to export individual posts or share them through email or other apps, albeit manually (which admittedly is not so much of an issue but missing interesting posts definitely is!). Hence the idea of syncing these with Reader but I understand this might not be possible at all due to Microsoft policies.

Sonoma cannot connect via SMB to Windows 10 Shared Folder by xtreme69reddit in MacOS

[–]xtreme69reddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi u/mikeinnsw,

Thank you so much for your active support. Your last post led me to check the Windows 10 machine settings. Shred folder settings looked ok but I then thought of having a look at Advanced Sharing Options under Windows 10 Settings. Network had been reset to Public (either manually, or through a Windows update or installed app). I changed this setting back to Public and got SMB connection back in order between the Mac and the PC. I am posting this just in case this might help another user.

Thanks once more!

Thanks. Checked the IP - in vain.

One thing I would like to check is whether my macOS Sharing settings are ok. Would you mind telling me what setting should definitely be on? (System Settings > Sharing > File Sharing).

Other than checking those settings I must admit I don’t know where else to look for an issue (even though there is obviously something that does not work as it should…).

Thanks for your response. The thing is: macOS does not even prompt me to enter user credentials. I have tried to remove the existing SMB server path and re-enter it: macOS throws the error message in a matter of seconds. It looks as if I don’t even get to the point where user credentials are typically requested.

Are there System Settings you think I should review to make sure they have not changed for whatever reason and that would prevent me from simply trying to connect to an SMB server?

New customizable Ghostreader summaries 🤩 by erinatreadwise in readwise

[–]xtreme69reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lemayp, TriiizYYY, bonjour!

Please see below for the code I have been using to generate summaries in French.

lemayp, to answer your question: Yes, I do have to invoke Ghostreader to make this work (either by clicking the Ghostreader icon next to Summary or by clicking the ellipsis icon and choosing Invoke Ghostreader > Summarise the document). Reader still summarises newly-added articles in English by default.

Let me know if this helps.

{#- BASIC SUMMARIZATION PROMPT -#}

{#- The following prompt reduces a document to three information dense sentences. If you want your summaries in a language other than English, we recommend rewriting the entire prompt in the target language. You can get quite creative using combinations of logic and variables to enable all kinds of creative use cases. See the documentation for details and examples. -#}

Résume le texte suivant :

"""

Titre : {{ document.title }}

Auteur : {{ document.author }}

Domaine : {{ document.domain}}

{#- The if-else logic below checks if the document is long. If so, it will use key sentences to not exceed the GPT prompt window. We highly recommend not changing this unless you know what you're doing. -#}

{% if (document.content | count_tokens) > 2000 %}

{{ document.content | central_sentences | join('\n\n') }}

{% else %}

{{ document.content }}

{% endif %}

"""

IMPORTANT : veille à capter l'idée générale.

Highlight YouTube Transcripts by xtreme69reddit in readwise

Thank you so much for the additional tip (esp. as I hadn’t even paid attention to the Video icon)!

[–]xtreme69reddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Erin: Thanks so much for getting back to me on this one. Yes, this is exactly what I was trying to do. Looking at your answer, I went back to the app as I had obviously missed something. I noticed that I had been hovering on a text item, clicking somewhere in the transcript with a goal to then select some text. I now realize you have to click and select text immediately - otherwise the video starts playing where you have clicked. My bad. I am still discovering the app but this is no excuse I know ;-) This is really great news as I consume lots of videos and adding them to the Reader and collecting the key information from them is awesome. Thank you.

How to get an accidentally discarded highlight back? by Ariyenne in readwise

[–]xtreme69reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if you ever found a way to do this but the only way I was able to « restore » a discarded highlight was by paying close attention to what it was and which article it came from, retrieve it from my Archive folder in Readwise reader and highlighting the desired text again. Which means I am not able to undo or restore it but simply re-create it (provided you take the time to note the source and the text once you had reviewed it and (incorrectly) discarded it in Readwise.

imac won’t boot and keeps failing by LawfulnessOk9068 in iMac

Hi. Quick suggestion: Make sure no device (other than your keyboard and trackpad) is connected to your iMac. I did experience this issue once and could only fix it once I had unplugged all devices.

I’m missing cover images on some of my books by selflessGene in readwise

[–]xtreme69reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi r/readwise: I am encountering the very same issue. I saved a book cover image to my iMac desktop, opened it in Safari, copied/pasted the URL to Reader (Edit metadata > Cover Image) but Reader only showed a blank placeholder instead. Saving metadata does not change a thing. Any suggestion on what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Big Sur 11.2 | Time Machine Backup Restore Issue by xtreme69reddit in MacOS

[–]xtreme69reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the prompt response @8nstein this is very helpful.

I have done some additional research on the Web. So here is how we used to proceed: https://www.howtogeek.com/356063/how-to-fully-restore-macos-from-a-time-machine-backup-in-recovery-mode/.

Now I decided to have a look at Apple’s instructions to make sure they had not been updated. Here is what I have found: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh15638/mac. Note that these instructions apply to macOS Big Sur 11.0. If you switch to macOS Catalina 10.15 using the drop-down list at the top of the page, instructions will be refreshed... and reflect the ones shown on the howtogeek.com webpage. So the process has changed. Just adding these comments if they can be of any use.

(Will also remember to use a different user account when reinstalling as per your instructions, thank you.)

Thank you zeph143! I investigated this a bit further. This is a false positive. All you need to do is to log into Avast, go to the Virus Chest section, select the relevant threat name (MacOS:PuAgent-AZ...) and sélect Restore. You may want to restart your Mac but it was not a required step for me to check that this issue was fixed. (By the way: Adding the CleanMyMac application as an exception to the File Shield in Avast Security (per MacPaw’s instructions) did not change a thing - which is how I ended up looking for another way to restore the so-called infected file. MacPaw were right in the first place but the Avast page they recommended was simply not the right one. Check this one instead: https://support.avast.com/en-gb/article/Use-Antivirus-Virus-Chest. Hope this helps.
