The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.4/25/18
Hi I see lots of adverts for Clean My Mac Software.
I run 1st Aid every end of month, but I would still like to know if I can improve on this as a non-deep code type user, and if so, what is the best software
Thanks

The title is shown above a photo, but what is Description? I guess Keywords is to make a photo searchable?
What are your thoughts of when to use what?

I’m wanting to purchase a new MacBook Pro as I lost the HD to my 2012′ model recently and then sold it.
I’ve never owned a MacBook with a SSD drive before so I’m questionable if 128GB is enough HD space for my needs.
I have over 12,000 pics/vids (59.9GB), ... (3 Comments)

According to Time Machine I have 3 years of data backed up in my 2TB Time Capsule and it’s almost full. What’s the case for buying a larger TC now that older b.u.’s will start deleting? Isn’t three years enough for safety?
Thanks, Tom

By default, every time I get a screenshot on macOS, the file generated will be named “Screen Shot date time” where the date is in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.
How could I change the date format to DD-MM-YYYY?

Is it possible to use the dictation function to convert speech from an audio file to text? It would be a real time saver for creating transcripts.

I have a Numbers data base for my bicycle riding. Started in 2/2/12. Four columns, date/minutes on bike/miles/notes.
There are 35+ pages in the data base, way to much to print when all I need are the bottom line statistics.
I see the totals in the cells in line #1243 on page #125 ... (3 Comments)

I’ve owned only Macs for 17 years, and I’ve never used antivirus software, and I’ve never had a problem.
But a company I’m now contracting with requires me to have it, because I’ll be networking with their PCs.
I’m completely ignorant in this ... (6 Comments)

Gary, I have to get my iMac (27″ Sierra) checked by Apple technicians (AppleCare). I will likely have to give them my user admin account in order to check the cause of the problem (random shut downs). I’d like to deny access to a few Numbers files I have. Only three ... (2 Comments)
