Re: Easy way to create a Mac OS X Mojave virtual machine? - 8 weeks ago
Quoterz Quoteliya1201 I’ve set up a Snow Leopard virtual machine in VirtualBox 6.1 for one essential 32-bit app in 2017 MBP 13-inch with 8 GB Ram and 500 GB SSD.

Re: Antibacterial vs. Antiviral - 11 months ago
QuoteDeusxMac Wasn’t really asking about hand washing. Many, many such labeled products are made and marketed for cleaning surfaces. Would “antibacterial” products have ANY consequential advantage for use against this virus because they’re antibacterial?

Re: cost of new keyboard/pad for 2012 MacBook Pro? - 1 year ago
For the wonky trackpad, I would suggest to check if the battery underneath has become swollen. I just replaced a swollen battery in my 2012 MBP, which caused the trackpad not clickable.by liya1201 - Tips and Deals
Re: before I reformat my Time Machine disk . . . - 1 year ago
I never got Finder to copy an old TM HD to a new drive. If my memory serves me well, CCC did not work to duplicate an old TM neither. However, based on my experience, the Disk Utility can sometimes work to make a TM image and one can later "Restore" the TM image to a new drive. If you have Disk Warrior, rebuilding the directory might help to copy old TM. The OS X Time Machine can reby liya1201 - Tips and Deals

Re: Clone a Time Machine backup? - 3 years ago
Have been moving TimeMachine to other drives several times. Just want to share my experiences. Straight finder copy a TimeMachine to another drive never worked for me. The only way I found reliable is to make an Image of the old TM drive first by Disk Utility and restore the Image to another drive. You will need at least two big enough drives to do this.
