    Enable the macOS start up sound on the touch bar MacBook Pro

    I would like to start this by saying that I respect Apple's decision to remove the start up sound, because many people have found it to be more of an annoyance, rather than a convenience. Me, how ever, am on the other side of that argument. I am a blind Mac user, who enjoyed having an audible...

    is there an app to schedule launching and quitting other apps?

    is there an app to schedule the launching and quitting of other apps? for example, dropbox launches at boot but i don't need it running all the time, so is there an app to shut it down a minute after boot once it has synced? or can apple script do that? if so, how? thanks

Everything I know is that it's not a hardware failure because if I wipe the hard drive, install OS X again it boots with no problems. Only if i install the Time Capsule backup/ just...

    Help!!! MBP 2012 shuts off when moved, stays off

    Hello! I'm desperate for help here... My 2012 MBP has decided to die and is not booting up. It essentially shuts off if it gets moved even slightly, which is highly impractical for a laptop. Then, it takes forever to turn back on and gives no signs of life during this time (last time it shut...

    Suggestions for bootable Firewire 800 enclosure

    I have an older Mac that I'd like to speed up a bit. On of the most obvious things I can do is replace the internal 5400 RPM drive with an SSD. I've done it before, but cracking an iMac apart is a painful experience I'd rather not relive. So I hit upon the idea of putting the SSD in a Firewire...
