Recently I have install GlobalProtect vpn on my Macbook and found it very difficult to uninstall it since it was opening on startup. Is there any specific way to do it ?
I have seen over the web that a lot of Apple Macbook users struggle with this, therefor I have decided to create a guide that shows two options on how to unistall the GLobalProtect App on macOS.
You need to download the initial GlobalProtect Installer, as you go through the steps shows an option for uninstall
Copy and paste the following code on the terminal window
sudo
/Applications/GlobalProtect.app/Contents/Resources/uninstall_gp.sh

I had Docker Desktop installed for Mac Catalina last year, but I haven't used it until today, a day after updating to Monterey (from Big Sur) (I'm on a Mac Intel) when I downloaded the latest Docker Desktop dmg file (~500MB), which had me drag the icon to the folder, which I then chose to replace the existing .app file... but when opening the file (in /Applications), I get this new pop-up:
I've tried to search what this is actually going to do, and I can't tell; I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN sometimes for a project, and I'm afraid there'll be a conflict... but ultimately, I don't know what exactly I'm giving access to or if it's actually necessary. I just want to try Docker with Laravel Sail.
I know macOS over the last several years (since Catalina really) has changed filesystem stuff a lot and I end up going down StackOverflow rabbit holes trying to get things to work, so I'm hoping someone else knows how this works or has made it work and can advise.
I am using MacBook Air with Catalina OS. When I hit top command it shows an app Electron consuming about 50% RAM.
I tried uninstalling it but can't find in application list. I have not installed this Electron app explicitly and don't know how it came on my machine.
How to uninstall this as I am not using it?
Top command output:
A quick search shows that Electron is a framework on which google chrome (to name one) runs. So you cant really uninstall it, however you could try, closing a few chrome windows or tabs. A blog gives a solution to this issue by replacing Electron apps as a whole (like using safari instead of chrome), which is not an option for everyone but is worth considering.

Personally my advice would be to upgrade to Mac OS Big Sur(if your mac is supported) as I experience some performance increase and found that it was generally more optimised.
I'm trying to install a new version of macOS. The only option I have is mojave. Despite that , when I click continue (the very first step in the installation wizard) it takes some time and says "the request to recovery server timed out".
Using a macbook pro 13inch, 2018 built.
The log says, Package Authoring Error,
access to path " /tmp/com.apple.pkg.testing" requires
and similar errors.
I do have a proper, uninterrupted Internet connection.
How to solve it?
Mac comes with a bunch of options, install new macos, update the current os, reinstall the os that came with the laptop. My solution was this,
shift+options+cmd+r on boot and it will reinstall the mac os that came along with the laptop.

I downloaded Xcode_8.1.xip at work in order to install it on my mac however it only extracts (as expected) but it is never installed when I go into the store it still wants me to install it.
Please assist me, I have no knowledge of installing xip, when it still was dmg file it was a lot easier
It seems you got the manual download. You double-click the xip, it extracts. Then you move the extracted Xcode app to /Applications (cmd-shift-A on desktop, or in a Finder window). It won't auto-update through app store this way, though. If you want auto-updates, delete /Applications/Xcode.app and reinstall through App store.
I've been trying to download Xcode but when I open it nothing happens.

Do I need to us using a Mac to be programming for iOS? I am currently using Windows 10.
Simply, yes, you need to have a Mac, or some other macOS running computer to run Xcode. But...
There is a way to run Xcode on Windows, however it's a bit of work. You can follow a tutorial on the internet like this one to get Xcode working on Windows.
Let it be known that even though Xcode will run on Windows using this, it is definitely not good in quality compared to on a Mac, as there will be lag and unnecessary difficulties that wouldn't be there on Mac.
