@M3553N63R Thats odd. I have never had to do that. macOS has always came with autocomplete enabled.
@M3553N63R I was mistaken you don't need to mount. Its mounted automatically. Just go to the path and follow instructions on original link.
Can someone please test this? I have tested on macOS Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave and none showed any messages. I have even went to the logs with the right click method,
and they are in a folder not a file, and they are all in a format which is non grepable.
I have spent hours on this issue and really don't think this is correct. I am in aw that this is marked as solved. Either I am mistaken on how to do the search on console, I somehow have 3 defective Macs on three different OS's, or the answer is just wrong in which case I am not sure what to do.

A: Any way to get the last times the screen was unlocked in macOS?

jmhIf you go to the Console app on your Mac (it is located in Applications/ Utilities folder) and click on "Macs Analytics Data" which appears on the left side of the window. This report has a message "loginwindow" and is stamped with a time and has the word "screenlock" on the same line. I just loc...

@jmh Interesting...
@jmh Ok. I guess its my computer-s.
Sorry about that

if you right click on the "Mac Analytics Data" term on the left side of the screen a message will pop up to reveal in finder. This takes you too the folder where these messages are stored.

JBis
Yes but that folder contains files which are in a format that are ungreppable
@jmh Just retested and it worked
So odd
I legit tested this 10 times before posting move comments above
sincerely sorry

With respect to this next question:

Q: Any way to tell apart macOS versions by the login screen or lock screen?

Antonio23249Any way to tell apart macOS versions by the login screen or lock screen? Knowing this would speed up macOS identification at our repair centre when we don't have the login password.

macos
Hi @Antonio23249 No worries about embarrassing me or having a different opinion or take on things. If you ask around here and in Ask Different Meta I believe people will recall many times when I've argued (politely) that wrong answers are very valuable here and fought to keep them from being deleted. They will get down votes, but that's the system working IMO.
Would you be open @Antonio23249 to me editing your question above to add some of the specific detail from the comment about visual telltale like a clock to your post to see if the net score raises?
(you can always roll back the edit in a week or a couple days if it's not helping)

@bmike re apple.stackexchange.com/a/332287/37797 just to let you know that cydiaios7(.)com is spam and those instructions do not install Cydia but rather adware/malware. (Also, while I have not visited the first link, a 10.3.3 jailbreak is available, that article may be outdated.)
A reminder to all to take care when researching and installing jailbreak-related tools.

@Jbis well I went into recovery mode and I thought tab key will autofill in terminal but it didn't, it didn't work, it only does it in desktop home screen. and I typed that path but got a no such file or directory.
in terminal in recovery mode, of coarse the default directory is bash but when tab key is off in recovery mode, plus the path getting no such file or directory.............honestly...........I feel like I'm being lied to......
but if I'm not being lied to then why I am getting a no such file or directory???????? I guess people make honest mistakes.
I do it too.

@bmike Maybe an X-Y problem but the core question seems to be good.
@M3553N63R I understand your frustration. I am not lying to you. I can try to send you a video if you would like. The autocomplete works after you type, so you start typing "/Vol" and press tab it will fill it to "/Volumes/".
I am really unsure of why this is not working.
Lets try to get the basics done:
1. Where is the refind zip downloaded to?
2. Have you unzipped the file and left it in the same folder without renaming it?
@bmike @nohillside @Monomeeth Can you shed some light on this? I think @M3553N63R is having trouble using autocomplete with terminal in recovery and therefore mistyping the path/not knowing the path (not blaming @M3553N63R. very hard type character by character the path without a typo or Volume instead of Volumes etc.). In regular boot he had to enable autocomplete by nano`ing into a file and editing something. I have never had to enable autocomplete on a Mac and am unsure why this is occur
ing
@M3553N63R Can you do this in recovery cd / then ls then cd and copy and paste the "Volumes" then repeat?

1. downloads tab. 2. I tapped on the file, it honestly came into downloads unzipped like really automatically unzipped before I hit download at source forge and it went into downloads tab. 3.left it in same folder without renaming it? without renaming to what exactly? dude, auto complete is off in recovery mode, trust me. it stays enabled when rebooting back to regular mode desktop home screen after login. I typed exactly that path, I tried
/volumes/Macintosh\hd/users/messengerm/desktop/downloads/refind-bin-0.11.3
it honestly keeps giving me no such file or directory. if anybody else besides me don't have refund-bin-0.11.3 version test the recovery mode terminal and try the path I kept re typing. I took note on the command line path on my note app on cell phone so I wouldn't forget what the path is. and if you test it without refind on your OS X or whatever other os you're currently use, you're find out I'm right.
I can't move on to typing ls and last part without the first part working in recovery mode terminal.
