iMac 27 2019 so slow after installing Ventura it is unusable iMac 5k, 27-inch, 2019 (iMac19,1) 3.6 Ghz 8-Core Intel Core i9 Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 3 TB HD Fusion Drive Ventura 13.1 After installing Ventura, the computer is so slow - click and wait a few minutes for an app to open, etc. I have run Utility Disk Repair more times than I can count, including in Safe Mode. I have reinstalled Ventura a second time, and still no improvement. Is wiping the HD and reinstalling my only option? I am doing a Time Machine backup right now that has been running for hours. I'm hoping it will complete. Thanks for any help you can provide. Let me know what other info you might need to help. Dan

New MacBook Air M2 - External Hard Drive Not Recognized on New Mac I recently got a new MacBook Air M2. I have an external hard drive that the new Mac will not recognize. The external drive still works on my old Mac. It's not the drive, it's not the cable. I have connect other external drives and they work. The Finder 'External disks' option is selected. Suggestions?

How can I fix the Mac OS System external drive name? Hi, Currently using Monterey 12.6.2 I have an external spinning Drive that may be disconnecting from time to time on its own. Anyway after shutting everything down and rebooting Mac and external Drive it came back ok The drive shows up in the side bar and desktop with the proper name = BackupDrive but in terminal if I try cd (and drag in a folder from that drive ) the path has extra number like: cd /Volumes/BackupDrive\ 1/test So somehow the system has a different added number "1" for this Drive actual = "BackupDrive" now = "BackupDrive 1" Q: How can I fix MAC OS to dump the "1" and just call it "BackupDrive"
