WebGL not on working on Safari on Mac; works on other browsers. I need some help from the community on getting WebGL to run on Safari on my Mac. I'm running Big Sur 11.6.1 but have had this problem for quite some time. I have confirmed that WebGL is enabled under the Developer - Experimental features list but when I run a test from https://get.webgl.org I get the following error: Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable. If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for your video card. For more help, please click this link. The test runs fine on Firefox so it's definitely a Safari problem. In searching the forums, I did find this post from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251543248?page=2 where VikingOSX gave the following fix. Pressing the shift key when launching Safari simply prevents it from loading its last saved application state, and does not clear any caches. To do the latter, you [√]Show Develop menu on menu bar from Safari Preferences : Advanced, and then follow that with ⌥⌘E which does clear the browser cache (including cookies). Safari does write hierarchy into the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari folder and it you remove that specific Safari folder, and then launch Safari normally, your webgl issue may resolve itself. Sometimes, Safari writes information into ~/Library/Caches, and provided it is present, removing it from there may provide benefit too. I did delete anything with com.apple.Safari in ~/Library/Containers; there was nothing in ~/Library/Caches. I also cleared the cache. Would appreciate any help

Unable to find a way to switch between graphics to use hardware acceleration. I am unable to find a way to switch between graphic options in order to use hardware acceleration but without success. It does not come up in the relevant Energy Safer tab, and because of it I am unable to use Photoshop filters (which require hardware acceleration to be enabled) I was trying to identify if I have one or two graphics based on my machine year and model (see prints creen attached) But I was unable to find even one. This is where I have gone already in order to find what if one or two GPU's are on my machine: -About this Mac -System Report -Graphics/Displays Machine info: information from system report Can anyone help me find a solution for the Photoshop issue please? Thanks ever so much in advance!

Missing option to prefer external gpu I am using a Sonnet EGPU with a Radeon RX570 (8GB), connected with Thunderbolt 3 on a 2018 Mac Mini, 32GB RAM 2667MHz, 3,2GHz processor. I do have "Prefer External GPU" menu in every app info box, except in iMovie. I've reset preferences, restarted Mac, tried to force using eGPU with set-egp.sh script with no luck... I'm exporting a 11GB movie with Intel UHD Graphics 630 with 1536MB... still waiting for Mac to finish. Very sad! None gave a solution to the previous (and old) thread. Please help!!!

Anyway...

Apps built using OpenGL and OpenCL will continue to run in macOS 10.14, but these legacy technologies are deprecated in macOS 10.14. Games and graphics-intensive apps that use OpenGL should now adopt Metal."

I suspect we'll have some interesting discussions in the years to come... 😀 😀

Is there a question in there?

You need to give specific information about your mac model, OS version and the situation where you may have seen such a message.

Whatever configuration. I experienced same. (sorry, Mr Sequeira) (I assure you that I am not hunting you deliberately all over the Internet...) 😀 😀 It was a very common error message, notably in VLC, and also with many professional video editors, games, etc. Before 10.8 (Mountain Lion), this error message did not appear. And it has possibly be solved in the very last versions of MacOS, I haven't seen it since a time.

Regards.
