    My late 2015 iMac recently went kaput with the disk with the question mark flashing.

    2014 27" iMac and Sidecar Performance

    I've used Astropad Pro for a while with a 2014 27" iMac. Its performance has been fine, but I think the $12/month subscription is a bit of a price gouge. I was excited about Sidecar and recently updated to iPad OS 13 and Catalina beta to realize my iMac is not supported. I've found the work...

    Fusion drive between NVMe and SATA SSD?

    My late-2015 27" iMac has been feeling slow lately when there's a lot of disk access going on (like when running VMWare). It's pretty clear the bottleneck is the existing 2.2TB fusion drive. I was thinking of replacing the stock drive components with a 2TB NVMe, but then was wondering if some...

    1Password users, why a red lock?

    To use 1P I must enter my 1P "master password" most times I want to use 1P. After my computer runs continuously all afternoon, working at home, if I choose the 1P icon in my menubar and enter my 1P password, I get the 1P RED LOCK and the password blank shakes. It's the same 1P Master password I...

    macOS is using up all RAM and is constantly telling me I've run out of RAM

    Hey there. So I've got a 5K iMac from 2017 with 8 gigs of ram and I recently just updated to the newest version of Mojave. After updating, however, I have next to no ram free at around ~1.5 gigs. Before the update, it used to be fast and snappy but now it takes a long ass time for anything to...

    All iPads iPad as second monitor with Catalina

    I have a late 2015 27 inch iMac (which I love) and iPhone XS Max, but I always struggle keeping an iPad because I can't seem to find its place in my ecosystem.... With the Sidecar feature coming in Catalina, I think I can justify an iPad to not only be my portable, big screen device when needed...

    I've got a recently purchased Mac mini connected to an old iMac via a USB-C-to-miniDisplayPort cable. Everything works fine except for when I first power the Mac mini on -- the iMac briefly shows the Apple logo, and then the screen goes dark. To actually see the video, I have to disconnect and...
