    Looking for beta testers for Burst Notes, a keyboard centric utility to quickly get your thoughts, ideas and todos into markdown files

    I've just finished work on the first beta for my new Mac utility designed to capture any stray thought, idea or todo straight into a safe place, so that you can get on with what you're doing. I started writing this mostly for myself, because my head is always full of ideas while I code, write...

    Recording artist can’t use new Apple devices

    I recently was interviewed by Nick Sutrich of Asheville, NC for “Android Central” about some covid-related issues linked to new smartphone and computer technology. Major corporations, in an attempt to cut costs and save money have made some changes that are causing serious issues for a growing...

    We need apple creator studio for people who already own the apps

    Apple just announced their Creator studio subscription but it’s kinda dumb, they have exclusive features for a subscription… We need a lower cost subscription for people who already bought those apps… For example if you bought Pixelmator pro well you get the new warp tool then the iPad app… If...

    If Apple made a dedicated gaming device, should it be a gaming Mac or an Apple TV/ video game console hybrid?

    I wanted to offset the doomsaying discussions dominating MacRumors' front page forum row with a fresh topic. For years I've been speculating that Apple will eventually create a designated AAA ready Apple TV. With each iteration of the streamer box they inch a little bit closer to this...

    OS X Any Mac Roblox gamers here ?

    Hey everyone, I noticed there aren’t as many Roblox players on this sub as I’d like, so I thought I’d create a thread here. I know many folks enjoy Roblox on their phones, like iPhones and iPads, but I mainly play it on my MacBook Pro. It’s got better performance, a better chip, and no...

    Apple apps that are not yet Liquid Glassed

    There are still a fair number of Mac apps that have yet to be updated with Liquid Glass, despite Tahoe being announced almost 6 months ago. Would be interested to hear thoughts on why this may be, and what we can expect from any updates. Apps that I don't believe have been updated include...

    AI Search in Photos on Mac not working

    I am on macOS Tahoe 6.10. The AI powered natural language intelligence search that's supposed to be built into the current version of macOS and Photos doesn't work for me. For example, if I type "black shirt" it shows nothing (I have several photos with people in black t-shirts, shirts or tops -...

    Apple Silicon Mac Pro Use Cases

    Hi everyone, I’ve been wondering what sorts of uses the current Mac Pro exists to fulfill. I know it’s not as customizable/expandable as the Intel model, but that it still allows some measure of expansion (PCIe ports?). How can it be expanded? What sorts of modifications would people make, and...

    iCloud I'm confused

    I've got one of those stupid 32GB iPads because I wasn't smart enough to pay more for more memory. A few years ago when it filled up I signed up to iCloud to offload stuff automatically. Now I'm trying to get all of that off of iCloud and onto my mac. So I decided to sync it with Photos app on...

    Gaming on Mac

    Those windows users are ready to switch to macOS when their games will be available on MacOS... I think that Apple should do something to have all those games on macOS ! They can do it by many ways... For example bring back bootcamp or gives free Macs and dev subscriptions to the game...

    I built the most customizable keystrokes visualizer for Mac, looking for feedback

    The app is called KeyScreen and this is what makes it different from the rest: 1. Full customization on the keys shown (you control exactly what keys are shown) 2. Default and custom themes for the keys 3. Support for different keyboard layouts, not just QWERTY 4. Handles multiple displays...

    Text replacements in Apple Mail: Where's the dropdown?

    Hi, Long time Mac user, first time poster. I set up some text replacements in Settings>Keyboard>Text input>Text replacements. They work as expected on native Mac apps with the exception of Mail. There, the little dropdown box showing the candidate replacement doesn't appear. The text does...

    PowerBook G4 Titanium – both hinges suddenly seized up, can’t open display

    Hi everyone, I’m running into a really strange problem with my PowerBook G4 Titanium (Mercury, 2001) and I haven’t found anything quite like it. The machine has been working perfectly for months. I’ve always opened the display very carefully, slowly and with both hands. 4 days ago, while I...

    M1 Mac stuck in recovery, can’t enter DFU

    Client erased the Macintosh HD drive and now the M1 MacBook is stuck in a recovery/restore boot loop. Every time it starts, it just goes back to the recovery screen or startup options. Main issue: the power button won’t shut it down, so I can’t start the DFU sequence. It also auto-boots...

    They love it!!

    Man….everyone I’ve showed iOS/iPadOS and MacOS absolutely loved it… It’s funny how the general public reacts compared to the niche community that we are!! (By general public I mean the people around me that do not care about this as much as us) I think Liquid Glass might be it, in comparison...

    What do you Do on a Mac?

I installed crossover and Downloaded a few games via steam, I was actually surprised with the mac's performance on hefty graphical games, I...

    Do we think Apple even wants people to just use an iPad?

    So I've kind of been circling this question in recent weeks and I'd be really interested to know what others thought. Today I watched a video by Noah Hermann on YouTube in which he says 'Apple wants you to buy both a Mac and an iPad' and this really led me to pause and reflect on this. I...
