I'm running Mac OS 10.15.4.-This issue doesn't occur in other browsers-It's intermittent-I use Norton Antivirus software-The programs I usually use are, MAMP, Brackets, Chrome, Finder, Filezilla. Is google just glitching out because of the short staff due to covid? Do I have malware? If it's malware, what's a legitimate way to fix it?

And once the glitch is triggered there, it also appears in Chrome, and vice-versa. Only difference is that I don't use an e-gpu. I thought the problem was due to overheating from me using the laptop in clamshell mode all day long, so I got really upset, opened the lid for a while, but nothing changed on the external display.
Well, I knew that the performance would be going to take a hit, but I didn't expect it to be that severe. I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro (GT750M model) and while FFXIV runs with about 50-60 FPS via Bootcamp/Windows on the preset 'Laptop (normal)' on 1680x1050, it barely runs with 20 FPS in the same zones with the same presets via Mac OS X.
MacOS Big Sur introduced a design makeover throughout the Mac Operating System. The update is full of useful functions such as widgets, a control center, and better aesthetics. However, it’s not devoid of issues either. We have seen reports of users having problems with Wi-Fi connection after the macOS Big Sur update.

Rarely, your Mac might experience a software or hardware issue that requires it to restart. When it starts up again, you might see a message that your computer was restarted because of a problem.

Unexpected restarts are usually caused by software installed on your Mac, or by devices connected to your Mac. If the issue causes your Mac to restart every time it attempts to start up, your Mac might eventually shut down. Use the steps below to check the software and hardware on your Mac.

Check your software

If the issue is caused by software on your Mac, one of these steps might help:

Install all available software updates.
If your Mac suspects that a particular app caused the restart, it might ask whether you would like to move the app to the Trash. Click Move to Trash, then contact the software developer to see if a software update is available.
Use safe mode to try to isolate the cause of the issue.
Reinstall macOS. If the issue continues after reinstalling macOS, check your hardware.

Check your hardware

Learn how to check your connected devices and other hardware.

Check peripheral devices first

If you don't have any devices attached to your Mac, skip to the next section.

Shut down your Mac.
Disconnect all peripheral devices, such as hard drives or printers. If you have a desktop Mac, make sure that only a display, keyboard, and mouse or trackpad are connected.
Turn on your Mac.
Use your Mac for the amount of time that it would usually take for an unexpected restart to occur.
If an unexpected restart occurs, follow the steps to check the internal RAM and third-party hardware.
If an unexpected restart doesn't occur, turn off the Mac and connect one peripheral device at a time until an unexpected restart occurs.

Check RAM and third-party hardware

Certain models of Mac computers have removable memory (RAM). If you recently installed memory or a hard disk (or SSD), make sure that it's compatible and installed correctly. If possible, remove it and test with the original memory or disk.

If you continue to experience unexpected restarts, contact Apple Support.
If your Mac is frequently restarting unexpectedly, it's important to determine the exact steps that lead up to the issue. The next time that your Mac restarts unexpectedly, record the date and time it occurs. These questions might help you diagnose the problem:
- Was the computer starting up, shutting down, or performing a particular task when the unexpected restart happened?
- Is the computer restart random, or does it happen every time you do a certain task?
- Does the restart happen when a specific external device is connected to your Mac or to a specific port?

Deleting anything on your Mac is never risky — you can go back to the Trash and recover any document that you’ve removed. But, sometimes, you want some files trashed forever. Then, you can just empty the Trash and delete your data forever.

Fun fact: Since 2020 there is officially no Trash on Mac. On macOS Big Sur, the junk storage has been renamed into Bin.

What if Mac's Trash won't empty? Due to some system errors, the Trash folder may not empty itself. So, today I’m going to address this problem and help you clear Trash on Mac.

How to empty Trash on Mac?

Sometimes the first reason why some of the system applications don't run smoothly is an outdated OS. So, if you can’t empty Trash on Mac, make sure your macOS is up-to-date.

If your Mac’s running the latest version of the OS but Trash still misbehaves, try the following fixes.

1. Restart your Mac

The reason why Trash won't empty on your Mac may be that something that's in Trash is still being used. It can be some file or part of the application. To fix it, you need to terminate every active process on your Mac. The simple restart of your MacBook should help you out.

Go to the Apple icon in the top menu.
Click Restart to reboot your Mac.

This way, it will force close any apps that are still running. Now try to empty the Trash.

2. Clear Trash using CleanMyMac X

There are a number of additional ways that involve a decent amount of Mac technical knowledge. To avoid that, and the time it takes to make some of them work, there is a quicker way: using a problem-fixer tool for Mac.

There is more than just one Trash folder on your Mac. Many apps also create their own 'trashes' somewhere deep in system folders. Such trash bins may take up a significant amount of disk space.

How to clear all your trash bins:

Download CleanMyMac X (get a free version here)
Select Trash Bins from the sidebar.

Not only will this empty your main Trash, but it will also clear out all other invisible Trash bins on your Mac.

3. Use Safe mode

Safe mode allows your Mac not to load specific software, such as login items, system extensions not required by macOS, during startup. Using Safe mode, you can check whether some app or software interferes with normal Trash functioning.

Go to the Apple icon in the top menu.
Click Restart.
As your Mac reboots, hold down the Shift key.
Release the key when the Apple logo and progress bar appears. 'Safe Boot' should appear in the upper-right corner of your screen.
Now you’ve entered your Mac in Safe Mode, which means that no third-party applications or startup items will load.
You should be able to empty Trash as you normally would and then Restart your Mac again to get back to the normal mode.

4. Force empty Trash on Mac using Terminal

With this option, you need to be careful. Entering the wrong command could clear out a lot more than the Trash on a Mac.

Open Terminal — you should be able to find this using Spotlight Search or in Utilities > Terminal.
Once Terminal is open, type in sudo rm followed by a space and don't hit Enter after (it's important).
Now open Trash in the Dock and drag and drop files currently in the Trash into the Terminal window.
Now press Enter.
Enter your password to confirm and press Enter once again.
Now hit the Enter button to empty the Trash.

And finally, another way to empty the Trash is to repair disk permissions. This could be why you aren't able to empty it in the first place.

5. Use the Option key to empty the Trash

In case you can’t open the Trash to delete all that’s inside, there is a way to do it from the Dock. Using the Option key, you can initiate options and clear the Trash without opening the folder.

Here’s how to do that:

Find the Trash icon in Dock.
Hold the Option key (or Option-Shift) and double-click the Trash icon.
Click Empty Bin.
Confirm when the pop-up window appears.

Hope that did help to empty the Trash. If not, let’s move on to the next solutions.

6. Repair Disk Permissions

As mentioned in this article, CleanMyMac X is an app that can work wonders for Macs. It comes with a whole suite of tools that solves Mac problems, such as Trash not emptying when it should.

For various reasons, certain permissions on your Mac may be broken. As a result, you lose the ability to do some basic tasks on your Mac, like emptying Trash.

Download CleanMyMac X (get a free version here)
Select the Maintenance tab from the sidebar.
Now tick 'Repair Disk Permissions' and press Run.

It should be working again. CleanMyMac X can also remove piles of digital junk that can stay hidden for months, if not years. It’s a versatile tool that every Mac user would benefit from. So give it a try.

Or use Shredder

This app also has a Shredder tool, which is completely free, by the way. You can use it to completely erase any file or folder on your Mac. Just drag and drop any folder onto the Shredder pane, and it's gone for good.

7. Remove files bypassing Trash

Used to dragging files to Trash? Wait, this is not the only option. Here’s a shortcut to quickly delete unwanted files on Mac, bypassing Trash.

Command + Option + Delete

Mac Os Versions

Caution: there’s no way back! Use Command + Option + Delete if you want to completely remove a file. It won't go to Trash, so you won't be able to restore it later.

Check if your files are locked
