    Audio channels are mixed up randomly on each wake-up / power cycle when connected to HDMI TV.

    Hi, I have a rather strange issue. When I connect my MacBook to the TV, all my speakers output incorrect channels. For example, left front outputs the rear left channel, center outputs front right, and front right outputs the center channel, etc. Channels are mixed up seemingly randomly on each...

    Same Disk Utility Error across multiple drives

    Standard external drives (not SSD). Last week, an external drive started sounding click-y. I ran disk utility and it spit out the "First Aid process has failed. If possible back up the data on this volume and click continue" I believe there were a few details making reference to the...

    Trying to decide which MacBook to buy.

    I am a iOS developer and have mainly used MacBook Pro's at work. I had a old MacBook Pro with smaller screen size which I had purchased in 2012 or 2013, but I am unable to upgrade it to any new OS version and is extremely slow, so thinking of buying a new one but also in money saving mode at the...

    MacBook Air M5 - mark on the edge of the display

    I have my M5 Air for 1 month now and the last time I was cleaning the display I noticed this line in the top right corner. It is on the very edge of the display right next to the rubber lip. It is smooth to the touch seems like some coating imperfection. Does anyone have something similar on...

    I can't believe Apple did this to my trade-in amount

    I’m honestly pretty frustrated with Apple’s trade-in process right now, and I’m curious how many others have run into the same thing. I sent in my M3 MacBook Air in pristine condition—I had a screen protector on it, kept it in a case, and never dropped it. I’ve never had any issues with this...

    New Old Stock 2020 Macbook Pro M1 smells like mold

    Bought a NOS Macbook that was sealed. Opened it up, and everything smells like mold/mildew. But I don't see any mold anywhere. But the smell is VERY strong, and I've never had an apple product smell like this, especially new. It's even IN the laptop because when the fans are going fast during...

    macOS Tahoe Brings a Pleasant Design Refresh with Liquid Glass, and Great New Features

    macOS Tahoe brings many benefits in my opinion. The unified Liquid Glass design language between Apple’s platforms make picking up projects on the Mac far more pleasant. And it feels like it fits much better within Apple’s ecosystem of devices. It feels congruent and consistent with Apple’s...

    MacBook Pro + Samsung Movingstyle

    Does anyone have experience with Samsung's Movingstyle moveable screen? It seems to be a 'smart tv' on a stand, and in my experience smart tvs do not play nicely with computers. That is, I'm curious about using the movingstyle as an external (touch) monitor for a macbook or mac studio. I also...

    Is this a hardware issue?

    Hi: I bought a replacement MacBook Pro M1 (2020) from the Amazon Premium Renewed Program in November. The first weird thing I noticed is that the computer will often show the wrong date and time on the locked screen, particularly when booting the Mac and prior to logging in for the first time...

    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...

    Macbook Air M1 Printer Help

    I just updated to the new macOS Tahoe 26.2, and when I'm trying to print shipping labels like normal, it's telling me "The Value in the from field is out of range." It's starting to piss me off because I thought updating would make it faster and better. I have a business to run, and I've been...

    Hi everyone. Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I thought it was pretty cool so in case it isn't. Messing around with my 2008 White MacBook with Snow Leopard I discovered that I can still access the iTunes Store with iTunes 11.4 and then access Podcasts just fine. iTunes won't let me...

    Boot Looping Intel (Retina) MacBook Air

    I got a retina intel MacBook Air (2020) and tried to do a clean install of MacOS. However, I must have screwed up somewhere because now, it just boots into internet recovery. Internet recovery mode keeps giving out "-2003f" and "-2010f" errors after attempting to start. I've tried shutting it...

    so for the budget Macbook Air what do you think would be the following? pricing? (should be logical if they really want to get the chromebook users especially the school with students that are bulk in numbers) form factor (obviously to cut cost they might use the m1 macbook air form factor)...
