    My iMac completely ignores when I hold down alt at boot

    I've tried two wired keyboards, one of them Apple, but it just goes straight to the internal SSD. No options. How do I fix this? It's a 27 inch 2009 model, feel free to move this to 'Early Intel' if needed. Thanks!! x

    Bizarre visual glitch with apple music

    See video for what it looks like. Other than listening to music, I'm really not sure what was done for the glitch to happen. Even after restarting the glitch was there and required another one to stop. Any ideas? 2021 Macbook Pro 16 inch with M1 Max chip, and MacOS Monterey 12.2.1.

    MacBook Pro M1 Won't Turn On

    My MacBook Pro won’t turn on. Went through the easy steps of holding power for 10 seconds, restart the SMC, making sure the cable wasn’t the issues, etc. So I decided to hook it up to my iMac (also M1) and try to revive it in Configurator 2. On the plus side, it did bring it up with the big DFU...
