A simple terminal command disables it.Įxcept Apple doesn't really want you to clutter up your beautiful Retina screen with a Favorites bar so they forget your settings every so often.

#Magicprefs opening twice on startup how to#
I clicked it out of curiousity and immediatly googled how to get rid of it. I bought my first mac recently, when dashboard was already deactivated by default. I've had it since April and it's had more issues (and more serious ones) than my cheap windows machine had in it's first three years.

This one has previously had the random freeze issue which happened about twice to three times a week until a software update fixed it. This machine crashed on save/open dialogs because of it. The first was switched out after about a week of owning it due to (probably) an issue with the SSD.

When you had the prior issues, was a repair performed? Still really hoping it just goes away but this thing has had issues before so I'm not very happy with it right now. I'm not sure about being able to reliably reproduce it, happened for the first time this afternoon and hoped it was a one-off weird thing but then it happened in the exact same sequence a few hours later. If you can reliably reproduce it I'm sure the Apple Store will help you out. If that is a little loose or something, maybe that could cause it. I haven't done a mainboard swap on an rMBP but in the older ones, the top case was connected with a very thin and fragile ribbon cable. Keyboard doesn't work in the recovery partition? Sounds like hardware to me.

Just D works for me), so your install is out of the equation. Since you booted into diagnostics, that's off the recovery partition (is it cmd-D? I thought it was just D. I would have Apple take a look at it if you're under warranty. I have a sneaking suspicion this is somehow related and has perhaps snuck back in with the latest update or something. However, this is the same device that had the random freeze issue other force touch macbooks had on a previous version of el capitan. Here, the touch pad and keyboard will work so if I restart from here everything is fine again.ĪppleCare had no idea what it was and said if the problem persists I should take it back.

I will keep rebooting until for some reason I will be on a grey screen that looks like a password recovery screen (it says things like "I remember my password but it doesn't work" and "I forgot my password"). Reboot doesn't work, rebooting with CMD+D will get me into diagnostics but there the keyboard doesn't work. So then I'm stuck on a login screen which doesn't work. For some reason at this point the Force Click will register. The next time I reboot the device I will end up on my login screen at which point the keyboard and touchpad will be unresponsive. At a random moment the Force Touch "click" will stop working (but force touch itself will be functional). I've been having the weirdest issue with my 13" force touch rMBP. Which is really a shame because AirDrop, when it works, is a pretty sweet file transfer method.ĭeluge + Magnet Handler so that you can open magnet links with a click instead of copying the URL and pasting it in like some kind of savage. Yup, for some reason I can't Airdrop to my girlfriend's iPhone just about half the time. I worked for an app company as their video editor, we shot some stuff on iPhones and AirDrop was so temperamental it was crazy. Google Docs is nowhere near being a serious contender with Office except maybe for college students but then whoops free Office365 for anyone with an education email, and now I'm back to using Office.Įxcel is also very manageable on an iPhone whereas Sheets is a nightmare. You are only looking at the dirt under your feet, Jimmy. There is so much beautiful in the world if you look around. What is a combo update? Is it any different from the app store update? This is my first mac, I just installed 10.11.5 over the app store. Binary Badger posted: Direct Combo Update for 10.11.5 Download here!
