Compare multi-digit version numbers in bash

Trying to write a script that searches for the version of the Application then returns the value. My problem is the value is three to four intergers long (example 4.3.2).
I have searched for a while and can't find any syntax that would allow you to use a != or -ge for anything higher than a number with periods in it. Just wondering if anyone has a better way or I will just keep adding for every version release.
### What I want
else if [ $version1 -ge "9.0.8" ]; then
### How it is written now
vercheck=
mdls -name kMDItemVersion /Applications/iMovie.app
version=echo ${vercheck:17}
version1=echo ${version:1:5}
[...]
else if [ $version1 = "9.0.8" ]; [ $version1 = "9.1.1" ]; then
echo "You already have this version or a higher version installed"
exit 0

How to save sent messages in Outlook to the same folder as message being replied to?

If I am replying to an email in Folder "TEST", how do I get a reply to automatically go to the Folder "TEST" as opposed to the Sent folder? This helps with productivity so that I don't have to move the responses to the folders they are in. If the message responding to resides in the inbox, the response will go to the Sent folder and can be moved to another folder at another time.

I read that I could rename a folder to have the..tmp extension to prevent it syncing over. I did this to a folder that had some confidential files, but I renamed the folder in my icloud drive and the files have all disappeared.
I found a copy of the folder on the desktop, but that was also empty. Any idea where I could locate these files or are they lost?

Does the Thunderbolt 5 dock charge attached devices without any Mac attached?
I am wondering if a Thunderbolt 5 dock such as the [*Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station*][1] can charge attached devices (iPhone, iPad, power bank, etc.) without any Mac attached?

I am wondering if a Thunderbolt 5 dock such as the *Anker Prime TB5 Docking Station* can charge attached devices (iPhone, iPad, power bank, etc.) without any Mac attached?
That would increase the value for me if it did double duty as (a) a Mac dock part-time, plus (b) a high-powered charging station full-time.

How do I keep Numbers from mangling numbers when importing a CSV?
When I open a CSV file in Numbers, it "helpfully" converts fields it recognizes as numeric by stripping leading zeros, converting things it recognizes as dates, etc. Take for example, you type a UPC code into a Numbers spreadsheet **005566778899**, Numbers will automatically convert that to **556677...

However, the way *I* use Numbers, I open databases with thousands of UPC codes with preceding zeroes. Some of them also contain **dates** which Numbers will also reformat. Basically I do not want any of these features, I want my content to be left alone.

*Converting the fields to text after importing won't help since the data was already messed with...*

Bose QuietComfort 35 Bluetooth Headphones crackling/choppy when connected to Mac?
QC35's are linked to both my iPhone and my Mac but when I connect the headphones to my Mac (without pairing to my iPhone) the sound is choppy (brief & frequent loss in audio). Sometimes pairing my iPhone fixes the problem but not always. What can I do?

Mac Preview: Search only in current page
When I search in Preview using cmd+F, I am redirected to the first page of the document. However, many times I am just trying to find the nearest appearance of a word inside the page I am reading. Is there a way to go around this?

I launched the Mac Calendar app, only to see no calendars or events.
I quit the app, but on restart it now shows "Updating calendars..." and a never-ending progress bar...
Quitting the app doesn't work. Force Quitting the app does close it, but the progress bar is displayed at the next startup as well.
How can I move past this screen and update my calendars?

Can't get rid of a disk partition on mac
I have a base model MacBook Pro with M1 and 256gib of storage. I tried macOS Ventura and it was fine, but I didn't like it much so I reverted to Monterey by adding a partition and installing it here. Today I wanted to remove the old partitions but they couldn’t unmount and begone. What should I do?

What Does This Apple Crash Report Mean? I need to know if I need my Mac Replaced
My computer restarted this morning because of a problem. I want to know what it means (is it software or hardware, can I fix it?) I have tried safe mode, and my computer is completely normal.

My computer restarted this morning because of a problem. I want to know what it means (is it software or hardware, can I fix it?)
I have tried safe mode, and my computer is completely normal. I just don't want this to happen again. I'm going to be using this computer for school, and it's brand new.
I talked to an apple representative and all they said was to reinstall MacOS. Online, I saw other people with new computers have this issue and some said it was hardware.
If you know anything about code or the Apple script, would you please review my report to help me understand what the issue is? I saw other questions answered with people saying they had incomplete installations or improperly deleted files, and I want to make sure I don't have any of that. Is there something wrong with my mail app?
The attached code is not full because I didn't have enough space, but it ends with a long list of com.apple... like the first one I included. Let me know if these are important and I can share them.
Thanks in advance.

I have my own running daemon application that listens to a network port and executes some different commands based on the coming request. All is working fine except when trying to execute the following
codesign
command.
sudo codesign --force --timestamp --options=runtime --entitlements --sign
Where I see an error saying errSecInternalComponent
. However, when I take the same command and paste it into the terminal it works.
I have my application certificate installed under both login
and System
keychains and set to be Always Trust
in settings.
I tried adding --keychain
option to specify the keychain path for the codesign
command.
Also, I made sure that both login
and System
keychains are unlocked during command execution.
Besides, I tried adding the following key/value pair to my daemon plist
file and restarting it.
SessionCreate
All of the above trials failed to fix the issue, I'm out of ideas and any help would be highly appreciated.

I want to uninstall Python 3.13 and only keep 3.9.
I tried using brew but just get this error:
brew uninstall python@3.13
Error: No such keg: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.13
I don't have admin permissions to manually delete the files in /Library
:
which python3.13
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3.13
How can I actually remove this version?
Running the following command shows python is located in /Library but I can't remove it due to not having sudo access.
type python3
python3 is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.13/bin/python3

Can an eMac boot from a USB optical drive connected via a FireWire adapter?
I've got an eMac that's mostly working (running Tiger, plus a selection of other nice software), but has a broken optical drive.

I've got an eMac that's mostly working (running Tiger, plus a selection of other nice software), but has a broken optical drive. I have a spare USB optical drive lying around, and it works for most purposes, but, according to [this discussion](https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1182251) on the Ars Technica OpenForum, most PowerPC Macs (including eMacs) can't boot from USB drives (at least not out of the box and without a LOT of tinkering and swearing), although they _can_ boot from FireWire drives.
Just in case I ever have to reinstall Mac OS X on the eMac, here's my question: if I plug a USB-to-FireWire adapter into one of the eMac's FireWire ports, and plug the USB optical drive into that, will the eMac be able to boot from said optical drive, or will I have to shell out for a FireWire optical drive?

When reconnecting the cable, iPhone USB status shows as "Attached" with a yellow icon, only turns green after a reboot

When I initially connect my iPhone 14 Pro via USB to my M1 Pro running Sonoma, everything works great: the Network tab shows the status of "iPhone USB" as "Connected" with a green icon:
However if I unplug the cable and insert it again, it will show up as "Attached" with a yellow icon. The only fix I've found is to reboot the Mac after which it will work again:
Is there a way fix this without having to reboot my Mac every time I reconnect the cable? Maybe I could just restart some networking service instead?

How to Permanently Remove Old iCloud App Folders from Mobile Documents on macOS?

On my MacBook, when I navigate to the iCloud directory via Terminal with the command:
cd ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents
I see multiple folders related to old iCloud-connected apps that I no longer use or have installed. Most of these folders are empty (0B in size), but they persist in the directory. For example:
ls
27N4MQEA55~pro~writer
3L68KQB4HG~com~readdle~CommonDocuments
57T9237FN3~net~whatsapp~WhatsApp
5U8NS4GX82~com~dayoneapp~dayone
...
iCloud~dk~simonbs~Scriptable
iCloud~fm~overcast~overcast
I’ve attempted to delete them using the following commands:
sudo rm -rf [file/folder_name]
or
find . -type f -size 0 -delete
However, the folders either persist or reappear immediately upon running ls again.
Additionally, when I check System Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > “Show All” (linked apps), these apps do not appear in the list of connected services. Apps such as Pro Writer, Day One, Scriptable, and Overcast, which I have no current association with, still appear in the Mobile Documents folder.
My goal: I want to clean up the Mobile Documents directory to make it easier to navigate and manage files for currently used apps.
Questions:
1. How can I permanently remove these obsolete folders?
2. Is there a way to force a sync reset or clean stale app references from iCloud storage?
3. Could these folders be reappearing due to a macOS or iCloud background process?
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

What is the "lsd" process on OS X, and why is it using so much CPU power?
I looked in iStat Menus and noticed that a process named `lsd` was consuming 99% of my CPU (Out of 400% for 4 cores). I searched around for a bit, but couldn't find out what this was, and why it's using so much processing power. It's not Little Snitch Daemon, as I never installed that. Someone else...

Looking into
lsd
was consuming 99% of my CPU (Out of 400% for 4 cores). I searched around for a bit, but couldn't find out what this was, and why it's using so much processing power. It's not Little Snitch Daemon, as I never installed that. Someone else said that it could be Launch Services Daemon, but I thought that process was launchd
. It's Launch Services Daemon.
Upon looking in the console, I notice these messages when searching for lsd

22/12/2015 3:44:07.469 p.m. sudo: MyUsername : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/private/var/db ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/mkdir lsd
I did try making a dir called /private/var/db/lsd
as root.
Also, my CPU usage seems to be very intermittent (which it never did before).

/usr/libexec
, I found lsd
and noticed that it has been created on 17 Sep 2015. Why is it so new (along with everything else in that directory)?

My MBP 15" 2018's touch bar died few days back.
I read a lot of people suggesting to kill process "Touch Bar Agent". But, I don't find process "Touch Bar Agent" in the activity monitor, nor via grep in terminal.
Interestingly, my another MBP which has a working touch bar does not show process "Touch Bar Agent" as well.
I am running "macOS Catalina 10.15.6". Did apple change the process name in latest updates?
Edit:
There are numerous post here which suggest to kill that process, suggesting the process used to exist in older releases. Example: this

I started my shift towards apple products over 17 years ago when I purchased my first iPod (yes the click wheel one).
I started by using iTunes software for managing my music library, then I bought my first iPhone then switched to using mac book pro.
Now, over all these jumps i moved my library from one computer to another, letting iTunes manage files. Then came Mac Music... My current situation is that I have all my music in the
/Users//Music
folder but, within this folder they are all over the place.
/Users//Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music
/Users//Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Music
/Users//Music/Music/Media.localized/Music (What does '.localized' mean?)
I tried consolidating the library but I can still see many files/folder outside the media folder.
I have manually moved the music files to the media folder now but, how do I get Mac Music to change the location of the files, in its library, based on what is on the hard drive?
