![]() ![]() So that fix is now available in App Tamer, making it a reliable source of CPU information for all processes again.Īs usual, release notes and download links are on the App Tamer release page, or if you’re already using App Tamer, just choose “Check for Update” from its menu. Some hunting around in the macOS source code (thank you Apple for making darwin Open Source!) revealed an alternate method that correctly reports the CPU usage of all processes, including kernel_task. In App Tamer’s defense, the system’s approved public API was supplying those numbers and it dutifully reported them without prejudice. App Tamer would show either zero or astronomical values for kernel_task’s processor use, neither of which was correct. Second, internal changes that Apple made in macOS resulted in App Tamer reporting the CPU usage of one particular process – kernel_task – incorrectly. Unfortunately, it also did that on pre-Big Sur systems, often making its icon too close to adjacent ones in the menu bar. Version 2.7.3 of App Tamer is now available, fixing a couple of problems.įirst, my apologies to folks using versions of macOS older than Big Sur: Changes in the last App Tamer update tightened up the spacing of its menu bar icon to comply with modifications Apple made to Monterey and Big Sur. Posted in Default Folder X, Monterey, Ventura | No Comments » There are instructions for doing that here. If you’re seeing these problems and version 5.7.1 doesn’t fix them, you may need to reset your TCC database. I’ve also seen a number of cases where the macOS TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) database gets corrupted and mistakenly refuses to give proper access to Default Folder X or other applications that require Accessibility, Full Disk Access, Screen Recording and other permissions. Please note that this isn’t the only cause of repeated requests for permissions approval. ![]() Or you can download Default Folder X 5.7.1 and update manually. ![]() If you’re affected, just choose “Check for Update” from Default Folder X’s menu in your menu bar to get the new version. This release provides a fix for a handful of folks who’ve been getting prompts from Default Folder X after they log in, saying that it needs approval in Security & Privacy even though it already has the permissions it needs. Baaaad, guys.There’s a quick update available for Default Folder X, bringing it up to version 5.7.1. ![]() I explained the problem, they gave me a telephone appointment for the next day, and never called back. I called their support number (I live in Italy), a representative answered from Greece. I was lucky - my son had a MacBook 2008 just like the one I was trying to upgrade, and he graciously lent me a working backup disk to do this with.Īpple's response to the problem was highly unsatisfactory. erase the original user's data and put in your own info. Clone the USB disk with CCC to the Mac you're trying to upgrade. Clone the other Mac's HD on a USB disk with CarbonCop圜loner, making sure the clone is bootable (include a working copy of CCC in the process). find a computer with installed MacOS 10.11. The only solution that worked was complicated and klutzy: 1. Another error message popped up, and said that my installation file was "probably corrupted" (freshly donwloaded from the Apple Store). Setting back the date to 2015 did not work for me. ![]()
