macbook pro "13 2015

Hi guys, I have two questions with regards to SSD speed with Macbook Pro 13 early 2015 (16gb RAM, 1TB) I still keep High Sierra for this in order to run old software and by checking with Blackmagic speed test app, my unit gets faster writing speed (700-730 MB/s) than spec but significantly...

After updating to Monterey, my 2015 MBP slowly started getting a little sluggish until it completely collapsed a few days later. Now I have this blinking folder icon every time I boot it up. I tried going through the recovery process, but it defaults to installing the very first macOS that...

I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2015, Ventura, that is fully refurbished. It is in good condition and just got new battery. However, I made some tests and battery drains very fast. I charged it full, and then removed charger and closed the lid. I open the lid only to read the battery status...

Hi guys, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this thread. I'm very new here, and in general fairly new to the Apple ecosystem. I have a Retina MacBook Pro 2015 13" (otherwise the Early 2015 MacBook Pro) with 2.9GHz i5, and it currently has macOS Ventura on it with OpenCore Legacy...

Hi all, I'm using a MacBook Pro 13" (early 2015). I'd like to connect it to my docking station at work, to connect an external monitor, mouse & keyboard. This MBP has no USB-C however, which the dock uses. I tried a USB-A to USB-C dongle, but only the keyboard & mouse work. My Mac does not...

Hey everyone, my apologies if this question has been asked before. I need to service my 13 inch 2015 MacBook Pro. The computer is working fine, although I need to service the battery since its nearly 7 years old. Does Apple still service this machine or should I look for a 3rd party repair? :)

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I had an issue where the keyboard and touchpad stopped working. I was able to fix that. Now when I try to log into the desktop it will spin for a couple seconds, the screen will go blank then come up and the scroll bar will show and go across an inch or so then...

Hello! So, after reading different posts in this forum regarding using an external display with a MBP 13" 2015, I still am not sure what cable or adapter I should get... Sorry if the answer was there somewhere but none seemed to apply to the ports on this Samsung monitor! Another option is that...

Hi, I am here to ask that is there any way of installing OSX 10.9 on an Early-2015 MBP? To this day I still pretty much don't like how macOS looks and some compatibility issues with older versions, I tried using a bootable USB installer but it doesn't work it shows up a blocked sign or something...

For some reason when I wake my Mac from sleep the screen is black and none of the buttons work. Eventually, I get to the "your computer has restarted because of a problem" then I press any key to resume startup. Does anybody know why this might be happening? I have a link to the log here...

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015), has Latest OS, Big Sur, 11.5.2 (20G95), and System Firmware Version: 427.140.8.0.0. Whenever I try to boot it normally, into recovery mode, Safe mode there is a delay of 2 minutes between pressing the power button and the startup chime and apple...

Hi everyone. I am trying to troubleshoot my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I’ve had this laptop since 2016 and it just won’t turn on. I’ve tried all of the keyboard reset prompts (NVRAM and SMC). I’ve unscrewed the back panel, unplugged and replugged the battery connector, pulled...

Hi there, I seem to have damaged the headphone jack on my Early 2015 Macbook Pro. The right side works fine, but the left side only outputs white noise and none of the actual signal at all. I've tried multiple cables and different sources (spotify, youtube etc). It's definitely an issue with...

Since upgrading to 11.3, every morning when I open my Macbook Pro, I have to restart it as it shuts down over night due to a kernel panic. Info submitted to Apple below. This is happening on a 2017 15" MBP for reference. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem or know of a fix? I've...

I'm so frustrated right now. Please hear me out. Is there any way to replace a single broken key and not the whole keyboard? I accidentally spilt some water on my laptop's keyboard about 2 years ago but all the keys still worked fine until about a month ago when the down and right arrow keys...

My early 2015 Macbook Pro had been working perfectly fine until one day the keyboard and the trackpad stopped working. Took it to apple who ran a few tests and said that it might be due to trackpad flex which this model is common for. However, after he ran a few tests and plugged in an external...

Since Big Sur has be released my macbook runs 20°C hotter than usual. I use SMCFan control to measure temps and instead of sitting at 40°C idle its running at 60°C idle and on loads at 80°C instead of 50-60°C. I haven't updated to Big Sur, I haven't downloaded Big Sur and have been using my...

I’ve worn out my 2015 MBP retina, and have ordered a 2019 16” model to replace it. Over the last several years of its life, I noticed the screen looked terrible and every effort to clean it was useless. Recently I read that there was an issue with that model where the anti-glare layer would...
