macOS CatalinaでApple Musicを使っていて、最近洋楽のアーティスト名が勝手に日本語化されてきたので、元の英語に戻す方法をいろいろ検索して、解決策を発見したのでその手順を書いておきます。

• Account > Sign Outでいったんサインアウト状態にする。
• Preferences > Advancedで、Reset WarningsとReset Cacheをクリック
• System Preferences > Language and Region > Appsで、Musicの言語をEnglish UKにセット
• Musicを再度オープン
• Sign Inする

これで英語表示されるはずです。デフォルトの言語はEnglish UKのままでもいいですが、気になる人はSystem Default（English）に変更しておきましょう。

When you try to add songs and get “Genius results can’t be updated because the iTunes Store doesn’t recognize your music library” error message, try the following steps.

1. Account > Sing out
2. Close Music app
3. Re-open Music app
4. Account > Sign in

Then you should see the synching process resumes again.

1. Open Photos
2. Open Preferences
3. Uncheck “My Photo Stream” if it is displayed.
4. Uncheck “iCloud Photos” – This will delete thumbnails on your mac.
5. Wait until all the thumbnails are deleted.
6. Check “iCloud Photos” again. This will take some time. But this time, you won’t see any upload error.

Safari on macOS 10.15.3 has an issue that you can not enable extensions.

You have to wait the fix until next update. But there is a work around.

Once you enabled it, Restart your mac.

Done !

I was suffering a problem of Music app on macOS 10.15.3 Catalina. When I click the “Next” button, the app skips to about 10 songs ahead. I searched the issue in Google, Apple Support, Apple Community, but I could not find the solution.

I gave up to solve it and did the maintenance things which I do regularly, such as increasing a free space of Macintosh HD.

Through that work, I found “Reset Music Store cache” button and press it.

On the next day, I checked the “For You” songs as usual, the problem has been fixed!

I’m not sure clearing cache was the solution, but you should try it.

Recently, I upgraded main SSD drive from 500GB to 1TB. Soon, something is consuming the free space of the SSD.

I googled and tried everything I can, but none of them changed the situation.

But, finally I got the reason for this.

I do backup everyday using CCC(Carbon Copy Cloner). It has a feature similar Time Machine. So, everytime I make backup, it create a snapshot by default.

But I didn’t know CCC has such a feature.

I deleted some of the old snapshots, the free space increased as it was.

You can set the minimum free space ( 30GB is the default ). So, set it like 100GB, you will be happy!

最近メインのSSDを1TBにしてから空き容量がどんどん少なくなるという現象が発生。いろいろ検索して試してみるも改善せず、諦め掛けていたころ、ついに原因が判明。

それはCarbon Copy Cloner（CCC）のSnapshot機能だったのだ。CCCはデフォルトでSnapshotを保存する機能がオンになっているらしく、知らない間にそれが空き容量を食いつぶしていた。

過去のSnapshotを削除したところ、すこし時間が経過した後に、みるみる空き容量が増えていった。しかし、毎日バックアップしてたのが原因だったとは・・・
