I have cooked up a JumpCloud Command to automate the configuration of desktop backgrounds. I can get the command to run on a test system (Monterey, 12.4) via Shell if I approve a dialog asking for permission. When I execute via JumpCloud, I get:

59:74: execution error: Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events. (-1743)

The command itself: ``` target_user=$(w | awk '$2 == "console"{print $1}') export target_user sudo -u $target_user osascript Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation" but there are no apps listed under "Automation." Under "Full Disk Access" there's a check for "jumpcloud-agent" ... perhaps I can extend that somehow?

I'm having issues with automount with my NFS shares after upgrading to MacOS Monterey 12.3.1. /etc/auto_master:

`

` Any ideas? I have already tried a bunch of things, including manually mounting the shares with mount -t nfs.

Is there a way to set up keyboard layouts preferences to have a **separate layout for each window**? **Use case described step by step:** - I use **two keyboard layouts**: English and non-English one. - I often open Terminal, where I use English layout. - And I often chat in another app using my native language. - I am tired of switching **global keyboard layout** back and forth. - I would like **macOS to remember**, which layout was **last-used in each window**. Especially interesting, if it is possible to do with **native tools** or settings in Monterey rather than 3rd party app. Just like it is possible to do in Linux with a single click in Input methods settings. PS: there is the same question here , but the **answer is outdated**. There is no such setting anymore. At least **in Monterey**.

I'm using Apple Mail 16.0 (3696.120.41.1.1) on a MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) with macOS Monterey 12.6.2 (21G320). I don't know when it started but there's a problem I have since some months: Sometimes when I click on an e-mail in the list of e-mails, no matter in which folder (inbox, sent …), the header (from, to, subject, date) gets shown as usual but the e-mail content is empty, just white space. This happens with all my e-mail accounts. All of them are IMAP accounts. All these e-mails are already downloaded and often only a few KB in size. It's the same with e-mails with and without attachments. There's no "This message has no content" message or similar. This also happens when I disable the internet connection. When that happens the content preview in the e-mails list is visible as usual as well as the e-mail header. Only the mail content is blank. Sometimes I just have to wait a few seconds to see the content. Sometimes I can make the content visible by clicking on another e-mail and then back to that e-mail. But often I have to restart Apple Mail. This not only happens to one e-mail but often to multiple e-mails simultaneously. I click from e-mail to e-mail and they all show that behavior. **Rebuild** didn't help. Also reinstalling macOS (keep data but reinstall macOS) didn't help. I even completely erased the system, made a fresh install of macOS, and then restored data from a backup. (I'm pretty sure my problem would be solved if I'd make a fresh install and then import data and make the settings manually instead of restoring from a backup but I cannot do that currently.) Do you have any idea how to solve that problem? Is there any error log I can check?

M1 Mac mini (M1, 2020), with 2 Lenovo L22e-20 monitors. I left the Mac unattended for 10 minutes, when I came back, 1 monitor is still on but the other has gone to sleep. The one that stays on is connected via Thunderbolt, the one that goes to sleep is connected via HDMI. I can't wake the HDMI monitor up by turning the monitor off and on. The only solution that has ever worked is rebooting the Mac. If I check Energy Saver preferences, turn display off is set to 1 hour. How can I fix this issue?

Anyone else having a "call failed" issue with FaceTime I have a 2020 iMac 27in 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB I just updated to Monterey this morning and now for some reason my FaceTime calls will crash giving me a "call failed" error. This only seems to happen when I'm using my iMacs built in audio, if I connect airpods, use the 3.5mm or an external monitor with speakers and set it as the default audio output everything works fine. If I try initiate or switch a call to the iMacs speakers the call fails I've tried all of the following with no success PRAM and SMC, safe mode killed and restarted coreaudiod killed and restarted FaceTime sing out and singed in to FaceTime disabled all firewalls and VPN's tried a different wifi network tried over ethernet uninstalled "wavelike" and "BlackHole2ch" I've done a Disk Utility scan from recovery mode reinstalled macOS from recovery mode tried logging out and in to FaceTime on all device I've also reported it to apple I cannot seem to figure out what the issues is, audio works perfectly everywhere else in the entire system I just noted as I was preparing this that when I navigate to system information I get the following when highlighting my audio hardware information "There was an error while gathering this information"

I would love iMovie but I cannot find a version that works with my system. 2016 MacBookPro running OS 12.4, that's with the Intel chip. The latest version of iMovie needs the M1 chip and OS 13x. I can't find any versions that work with Monterey AND the Intel chip. I just want to assemble edit some dumb cat videos but I can't find a single video program that will work. There doesn't even seem to be a version of Premiere or Final Cut that will work with my system. This is all so crazy since in the 90s I was a video editor and used Premiere v3.

I ran into the exact same problem like some other people here. After clean-installing Monterey to my two machines yesterday (MacPro 6.1 and a MacBook Pro 15" Late 2015) my iCloud Drive got stuck syncing on both machines! If I try to copy folders within the folders in iCloud Drive (documents / desktop / etc.)I get this Error: **Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “” cannot be read or written Error -36** If I click on a folder's cloud icon to download it it says **folder "" can't be downloaded check your internet connection**. But I am online, no ports are blocked. Copying files is not a problem! Just folders. When I deactivate iCloud Drive I can copy folders on my desktop without any problems. The same problem is also documented here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253885938?page=2 **What I did:** - Booting in safe mode - PRAM Reset - Uncheck iCloud Drive couple of times - Killall Bird - Tried everything from this topic https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/264915/icloud-drive-is-stuck-uploading-items-and-no-longer-syncs Nothing worked. **Just deleting the CloudDocs Folder helps for a couple of Minutes**. While it starts resyncing I can copy folders an everything is ok till it finished syncing. Then the problem is back. So what I can do? Would be great to get your help and expertise!

My music licensing business uses Filemaker and quite a few Applescripts as part of its day to day operations. For years we have been running everything on OS 10.14 without any issues. We recently updated our OS to 12.1. Many of the Applescripts are now broken. I've spent the better part of the day trying to get one that imports music files into Music (the script used to use iTunes), sets all the tags, and converts them to other file formats and found that many of the steps simply do not trigger seemingly from permissions issues. Changing: set newfile to ("path to file") to set newfile to alias ("path to file") fixed the ability to import the music track in. I also ran: -e 'tell application "Music" to activate' from Terminal to see if that would fix the permission, and and that did fix many of the steps if I run the script from the Script Editor. However, the scripts need to run from Filemaker. So, 1) is there a similar command I can run to allow FileMaker to run the scripts without issue (I tried adding Filemaker to the Privacy Pane - both Accessibility and Full Disk Access - but no luck), and 2) are there "general" best steps when upgrading Applescripts to work with OS 12? Thanks for any help! Update: In Security & Privacy > Automation, I do also have FileMaker Pro allowed to control Finder and Music.

- m1 max macbook pro, 16'' - macOS 12.6.7 - Studio Display Version 15.5 Couple days ago, suddenly have this issue, where audio will stop playing for a few seconds. - Audition either continues playing without sound, or freeze (in which case had to force quit coreaudiod to unfreeze it). Other applications either buffers as though bad network, or plays without sound. afplay exits immediately when no sound. - Switching back to built-in speaker and then to studio display seems to reset and audio will play again for a few seconds - Power-cycling the studio display does not help Unfortunately I cannot restart my mac due to important process running. Any other ideas to troubleshoot the problem?

Safari is not my default browser. Something is launching that browser without any window, right in front of me. Because it's only showing up in the dock, I have no clue it's launched. I don't know why it's happening. Does anybody know why this might be happening? I can't leave my computer in **Safe Mode** for a week (as was suggested elsewhere) and I don't want to start another user on this computer. Is there a way I can be notified when it starts up? I looked into Shortcuts but they don't have Automation like iOS. Truly odd behaviour. I need to fix this. Any insight is appreciated.

I'm having trouble updating Monterey for the last 2 updates. When I do it restarts in recovery saying: "Your computer started up in Recovery because a failure occurred during installation. An error occurred migrating user data during an install. Reinstall macOS to resolve the issue". Reinstall macOS does not solve the issue. The only way I found to fix the issue (update before this one) is by wiping my macOS partition clean and then reinstall the macOS. Unfortunately, because I have a third party SSD on my MBP, that would not work unless I replaced the SSD with an official Apple SSD, upgrade to the latest version, then swap it back with my third party SSD, do a clean install, and restore my backups. Needless to say, this is super painful and I'd really rather not do that. Has anyone had the same problem?

I am using a Macbook Air M2 with macOS Monterey. I am trying to get the keyboard bindings to better/more mimic Windows 10. The laptop keyboard is like this: {fn/globe} {control} {option} {command} I have swapped modifier keys from System Preferences. With the above change, the keyboard buttons are like this: {command} {fn/globe} {control} {option} This gets me most of the way there. What is left is being able to switch tabs in Edge/Chrome. The default is control + tab but I want it to be {command} tab. I can't set an application specific keyboard shortcut using {command} tab because it is used by the macOS application switcher (which I don't use/need). So I say https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#swap-command-tab-with-control-tab for Karabiner but it does not seem to be working. There must be a way to override the behavior so I can get [the left most button] + tab to switch browser tabs.

Recently I've found on my Mac that I can easily highlight text in an image that wasn't possible before. Is there also a built-in CLI option or an AppleScript option to address the OCR program with which I can achieve the same results as tesseract?

Not sure if I need to re-format and re-install again. Is it normal to see so many Mac HD, and should I try to remove the extra ones? Had some HD issue where somehow there was no space left and thus there was nothing to do but to clean install everything. Now it seems there are multiple Mac HD / Mac HD - Data, with different avail space, as shown:

I am a new MacBook user, bought MacBook Air M1 about 10 months ago. At first everything was great, bluetooth connection was working fine. But since a couple of months, I began to face bluetooth connectivity issues. I'm not sure whether it is due to the upgrade from BigSur to Monterey. **Specs:** 1. Model: MacBook Air (M1, 2020) 2. OS: macOS Monterey 12.4 3. Memory: 8GB 4. SSD: 256GB **Issue:** I have two bluetooth devices - 1. JBL Live 300TWS earbuds 2. MIVI Roam 2 speaker. Previously both of them used to work perfectly fine. But now, they disconnect immediately after 1-2 seconds of connecting. I can even hear "Paired" sound from my speaker but gets disconnected immediately. Keep in mind that I'm NOT trying to connect both at a time. At first I thought there was an issue with my devices, but after testing with couple of Android phones, I'm sure the issue is with the MacBook. **Things tried:** 1. Turn Off/On Bluetooth in MacBook, Turn Off/On my bluetooth device 2. Forget all devices in MacBook and connecting them again 3. Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.XXXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXX.plist 4. Deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist 5. sudo pkill bluetoothd 6. Force quit bluetoothd from Activity Monitor 7. Force quit coreaudiod from Activity Monitor (saw this somewhere) 8. Turn off Wifi I even restarted the MacBook after every step but still wont work. I'm out of almost all the options and only thing I have now is to try downgrading to BigSur but the process is too hard for me and I don't have any previous backup. Are there any other ways to fix this? What do I do?

I use one iCloud account for my private use (mainly on my phone) and one for work (on my Macbook Pro with Monterey). I however want to use Reminders to use both accounts, so I could see all my working reminders on my private phone and all my private reminders on my working computer. I've already done the same for Calendar but for reminders it seems different. On my Internet Accounts settings page there is no Reminders. Am I missing something? Is there a way I can use 2 iCloud accounts in the Reminders?

For some reason I can't login to my Mac with a typed password, *only* with Touch ID. I have checked if I was entering correctly, if caps lock was activated and have also changed the password, but I simply can't log in with any typed password. The reason I know why I'm not typing it incorrectly is that *after logging in with touch ID I go to "Settings" and unlock it using the same password with success.* Even when I change my password, the new one can also unlock the settings app, but can't unlock my Mac. Although it isn't stopping me from doing anything right now I'm a bit worried that if for some reason my Touch ID stops working for I might lose access to my laptop. Any idea what might be going on?
