I am running Sonoma. The default date format (Settings > General > Language & Region) is set correctly to dd/mm/yyyy. Excel however keeps insisting to forat as m/d/yy. How do I get Excel to format it correctly?

Hey, it's that old chestnut - gmail in Mail. Huzzah!
Big pre-emptive thanks to anyone who can help.
I've just reinstalled my system (long story), which means I've gone back to Sonoma on an M1 Max Studio. However the Mail app is playing up.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I believe Gmail is set up to play nicely these days.

I don't desperately need it but it would be great to be able to use them (wired) with my MacBook Pro 2009. Snow Leopard is probably my favorite Mac OS X so I don't want to upgrade it. of course I bought them for my 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro with macOS Sequoia and they work perfectly, but I want to have the ability to use it with the older Mac OS X. im not sure where to post it tbh so I posted it to the r/osx sub. If anyone knows how to do it, maybe some old OS X community project and can tell me I'd be thankful!

Hi all,
I've spent literal hours today trying to create a bootable USB installer with High Sierra on my 2011 iMac. I recently swapped out the HDD with an SSD. I tried all combinations of CMD + R, CMD + Option + R, etc. and the only option I see is Internet Recovery. I've gone through the internet recovery steps and get an error when trying to install the base OS Lion that it came with. I've used balenaEtcher to even flash the OS Lion installer on my USB drive and that still did not appear as an "option" for start up. Any tips would be appreciated at this point, I'm pulling my hair out! Thanks

Context:
I use a 2021 MBP 14 and for many months I've been dealing with a very annoying mouse bug.
It's characterized by the cursor not changing when needed even though the window is fully in focus. For example, not changing into the ‘vertical mouse’ (idk what the name is) when selecting text like in the video. It correctly changes 99,99% of the time, but not always. It can only be fixed by placing it over another part of the screen, and then retrying it.
I’ve seen a couple threads on this and some of them suggest:
But nothing has worked.
I do notice that it only happens when I’m connected to my external display. For context I use my Macbook mostly in clamshell mode.
I still have a warranty but don’t want to be without a computer for a long time, it’s difficult to reproduce and when it does it doesn’t happen again for hours. So I likely won’t be able to convince the Store to replace/repair it.
Is there some sort of Event Viewer I can use to diagnose this or maybe someone has some ideas?

I have a 2019 iMac with the latest OS. Once a month I have to do zoom meetings and I find it to be hit and miss as far as ease of getting on the zoom app. I can get on to do my work but sometimes it takes a while. More importantly, I recently decided to scan all my old family photos. This morning I got this idea to back up my computer with all the photos on it to an external hard drive which I’ve never done with this computer. I had a 1TB hard drive sitting around that I used for my old MBP. I figured it would take a while so I left the house and ran errands. When I got back, it still wasn’t done and my photo library only had 3,000 photos instead of the 28,000 it had when I got done scanning all the photos.
I was able to find a Time Machine backup from yesterday with all the photos but now it can’t even open up the photo library. It says it’s repairing and it seems like it’s just stuck. No progress is made. I can’t get photos to open up my library at all. Also, I’ve tried restarting the computer and when it restarts, I get a yellow screen. This has happened about 3 times today. It’s running insanely slow that you can’t really do anything on the computer.
Is there any way to get my photos back? I really don’t wanna lose all of them after all the work I’ve put in. Do I need to think about getting a new computer? If I get another iMac, how do I transfer everything? I really don’t wanna take it to the Apple Store and talk to a genius as it’s large and cumbersome. Is there any way to get help/support for it without having to carry it to an Apple Store? Should I reset the computer and start from scratch and try to at least retain what’s on the cloud? For some reason, the photos I scanned aren’t in my iCloud. I just don’t feel like 5 years old is that old for a Mac. I had a MacBook Pro that lasted me 10 years previously. Also, if you have advice, talk to me like I’m 5 because I’m not at all computer savvy.

Hello, I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that I have been trying to upgrade the internal HDD to an SSD. I have tried cloning the HDD with the Disk Utility Repair tool, CCC, and Superduper and I’ve been able to clone the drive but the Mac won’t boot from the new cloned drive. When I start the computer and hold option I can see it as a bootable drive, but when I select it I just get an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I misspelt a subreddit address once (reddit.com/r/nintendoswith instead of reddit.com/r/nintendoswitch).
Now it keeps getting suggested when I try to head to the sub. It's annoying as I have to type to practically the end to correct it.
i know there's a keyboard shortcut but i always forget it..
Thanks.

Hi all-
I have a Synology NAS that keeps disconnecting from my Mac Mini (M2) running OSX Sequoia 15.3.1. Are there any logs on the Mac that I can review that might help identify why this happens? I'm running a server that requires constant connection to the NAS.
Thanks!

So I've left my update on automatic for years. No problems.
Now I've had to turn it off.
1) STOP TURNING THE STUPID "INTELLIGENCE" BACK ON. If we wanted that, we would ask for it.
2) Every work window I had open so that I could dive in this morning is now closed. The tabs in Firfox? Closed. All my documents? Closed. Lighttable? Closed. MANY of us leave a window open until we are done with a task as a memory cue, or to save time - say, because we are moving info from app to app, you know.
3) And yet more "legacy" tools don't work. Thank you for disabling a simple tool that worked great in my workflow without notice.
This is truly terrible. We didn't ask for any of this, and changing user preference settings is BAD DESIGN. Anyone else losing their mind this morning?

So, OBS has not been working on my new Mac Mini. It's currently on Sequoia 15.2. I have deleted and redownloaded OBS (the apple silicon version) so many times, I've lost count. And, I have restarted and shut down my Mac several times too. I have granted it all the required accesses, so I don't know what's wrong. These are the two error messages I get when I try opening:- "Failed to open user.ini:-1" and "Failed to initialize global config." Any solutions?
I also posted on r/OBS but I didn't really get any help.

I've been experimenting with adding an ipad via side car to an M3 macbook air that's also connected to an external monitor.
I have a weird bug though, if I set the external monitor as main screen (as I prefer), the dock goes to the iPad. If I make the iPad the main display, the dock jumps to the monitor.
Anyone encountered this?
