[QUOTE="philappleton, post: 1758338, member: 392340"] Hiya, Thanks for your interest. The main problems I’m having is with the Mac OS it’self. A few examples are below however this is not a complete list. I do have screen recordings / screenshots of all of this which can be viewed on my Youtube Channel. I’m slightly reluctant to paste a link here because my first post here with a link was immediately removed without any help / advice being offered to me. If a Administrator or Moderator can confirm if it’s okay to post links to my screen recordings on Youtube then I would be happy to do so. I would like to confirm also that until a few months ago I have been using Apple products for many years and never had any issues or problems, however now it’s acting strangely and even after wipe clean and fresh Mac OS installs the strangeness comes back. In no particular order 1: When I restart MAC the screen flashes funny and I am told the Mac needed to restart to install updates but when I click show updates then none were actually installed. 2: Permissions can be changed without undoing the Padlock even on the main Drive 3: A Padlock shows up where it shouldn’t if I go to Settings > Network 4: When using Quicktime to trim a screen recording clip it then refuses me permission to save to the desktop saying I don’t have permission even though I am the only user with guest user switched off and when I click Get Info on the Desktop it shows I have full read write access. I even give “Everyone” full read write access and still get tole I do not have permission. 5: After downloading Google Chrome and running for the first time I click on it in the dock and say Keep in dock. Then a short while later when I exit Chrome it disappears from the dock 6: iPhone 7 connected to Mac by USB and Hotspot switched on. Mac can see the iPhone as it shows up on iTunes but failes to connect to the internet. 7: Mac completely shut off even with 38% battery power showing and failed to restart until I attached power cable 8: No move to trash option when right clicking on a file 9: When right clicking and get info then clicking to “Change All” for the default player then the system only changes the file I have clicked on even though I have clicked change all. 10: After startup the wifi joined the network number 7 in my order of preference even though my home network was available. Network number 7 was a network I then needed to enter my username and password for which I done correctly but kept being told it was incorrect. I even opened pages to type my password and copy and paste it and it still said it was incorrect. BT my broadband provider could confirm my username and password were entered correctly. 11: After selecting router to join on one occasion it requested my password which I enter correctly then I get a message saying I was too far away from the router. I was about 2m from the router in the same room. Next I place the Mac right next to the router and I get the same message even though I show in the video clip that my iPhone 7 and IPad mini were connected to that router with no problems. 12: Problem when clicking link in email from this forum to confirm my email. The link only took me back to my inbox and when logging back in to this forum it said I hadn’t confirmed my email address 13: After downloading Bitmedic Antivirus from the App Store and switching it on and doing a full scan to find nothing then the Virus Protection automatically switched it’self off. 14: Security warning from internet HTTPS due to incorrect time even though this was set to automatically update from Apple. On more than one occasion I have had this and I need to go in to this and un tick the automatically set and re tick the box for it to start working correctly again. 15: After signing out of Chrome and removing all user accounts as confirmed by Chrome, when opening Chrome back up my username and password were still there making it impossible to sign out of chrome. 16: On several occasions when starting my Mac it would ask me as usual for my Password and as I say I’m the only user with Guest Browser switched off. Then a few seconds later it would go back to the log in screen and ask again for my password. 17: When scrolling say down the page for no reason the page would shoot straight back to the top of the page. I have more instances, however these are just to give you an example. As you can see most of these are within the main Mac OS. Unfortunately I’m now getting some issues on my iPhone but only where it concerns using my iPhone to help record evidence of my Mac not working as it should so this is why I can help feel it’s a targeted attack rather than just a piece of Malware etc. Everyones time and help is very much appreciated to getting these issues resolved.
