I have this 2 TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD that is use to make a bootable clone of my internal hard drive before I do system updates - so I can go a step back if anything fails. And today I was going to make a update from 15.3.1 to 15.3.2 So I attach the SSD, open Disk Utility and erase the drive before I start cloning Except - today it wouldn't. It fails. So I tried to erase all containers and volumes one by one. No luck. So I tried to format it as macOS Extended - no luck FAT32 - No luck. Nothing works. And then in the back of my mind, I seem to remember Randy writing about how to revive a failing SSD - and if I remember right, it would implicate using a PC? I can't find the post on this list ... but I'd hate just to throw this SSD in the bin. What to do? Any help out there? :-) Peter

I was about to ask Jerald what he needed the periodic scripts for, but I think Randy answered that question. By removing the logs, it makes the scripts unneeded. The one time I had a run away log, a restart after removing contrary app was all I needed to fix it. The only stronger repairs that I have needed to do in 20 years has been done by either Disk Utility/ First Aid, or a restart into Safe Mode. If we need a repair tool, I’m sure a new one will come about. I look at this change like when we no longer needed to resolve Extension Conflicts in System 7.

Thank you for pointing this out. I have mixed feelings about this. Sequoia no longer runs daily, weekly and monthly "maintenance" scripts. I'm assuming that's because the logs that those scripts used to clean up no longer exist. If they eliminated those logs, they have done away with a valuable tool for figuring out what is going on when your Mac is acting strangely. On the other hand, runaway log files were a not-insignificant problem for a very few users. One that was hard to figure out unless you found someone who recognized the situation. No log files means no more runaway logs. __________________________________________________ Randy B.

Hi, I have an M1 MBP running the latest Sequoia. My ISP is gmail. On many occasions, I have to wait a long time before mail received in gmail is seen in Apple Mail's inbox. I can look at the unread mail via my phone or via gmail.com on a browser. If I switch from viewing the inbox to viewing "junk" and then back to the inbox, sometimes the inbox gets new mail but not always. Also "Get mail" doesn't do the trick. I have tried the mailbox/rebuild command but that didn't help. Any idea? TIA, Paul
