This time, I am booted into a cloned external drive attached via USB (USB 2 is, of course, much slower than the internal SATA interface, but it’s running in the background). I also turned on verbose booting and and OpenCore Debugging in the OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) settings. If it stalls...

Hi everyone, Yesterday, I cleaned my MacBook screen using an ultra-fine microfiber cloth. Here’s what I did: I first wiped off the dust using the dry cloth. Then, I dampened the same side of the cloth with water and continued cleaning the screen. Finally, I flipped the cloth to a dry side to...

My daughter's 12" Retina MacBook 2017 won't boot. I've tried all the published solutions with no luck. We'll get her a new iPad or MBA. BUT - Although she made TimeMachine backups regularly, she says that there are some important (!?!) photos that were not backed up. I know that the SSD in this...

Can someone please tell me how to copy and paste from iPhone 15 Pro to MBA M2 I have my 15 Pro logged into the same iCloud email and my Airdrop on but it doesn't seem to work.

I got my MacBook5,1 (equipped with 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SATA SSD) to the point, where it is running macOS High Sierra (thanks to DosDude1!). I downloaded OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) 1.5.0, copied the most recent Sonoma installer app to /Applications/, used OCLP to make a USB flash drive...

hi guys whats your Battery health for MBP M1 2020? I got mine in early 2021, and it is at 84% and 735 cycle count. Kinda panicking cuz its nearing 1000 in just 3.5ish years T_T.

Got some brown spots on my MackBook Pro Mid-2012, which are visible when the screen is on and prominent on a white background. Started with one and now there are 6 over 3 weeks. Mouse pointer and screen content is visible behind the spots. (Image attached) Anyone knows a fix or cause for it...

I never wanted to post a lame "What should I buy" post, but I've also never been so unsure before... I am a photo and video professional and my rMBP 2014 has become virtually unusable. The situation has been ok because I mostly use my M1 Mac Studio for serious work anyway. But I also need a...

So I want to buy a new MacBook since my 2015 MacBook Pro more and more becomes a pain to use. I have an iPad Pro m1 12.9 with Magic Keyboard but gave up using it as my main computer long ago. Since I’m not a power user that needs a pro computer, an air would probably be enough but I use an iPad...

From your first apple device which is bought years ago to existing one today, how many Apple devices did you return or replaced because of a flaw or functional problem (like backlight bleeding, keyboard issue, battery drain etc) Apple always became the name of quality for me but a customer has...

I can't sync the bookmarks on my iPad Pro to Safari on my MacBook Pro (2013) because it's too old and can't even update anymore. That means I can't export them at all, unless there is a way to export them on the iPad directly. I don't want to manually copy them over to Chrome or copy paste each...

I would like to consult you about something, I had a bad experience a few years ago. Because the MacBook Pro I bought had a problem, I sent it to technical service and the diagnosed the problem with report and Apple replaced it. The laptop that came next was also defective, I got a report on it...

The age old question, should I get an iPad Air or a MacBook Air? I know that answer for my needs, an iPad Air with a keyboard. Now that the iPad Air will be released with a 13" Screen, the Apple to Apple comparison can be made. ;) The costs......... 13" MacBook Air M2, $850, 8gb/256gb at...

Gentlemen, I got an old 2014 13" Retina MacBook Pro i5 2.6ghz with 8gb of ram that was not working. No power. Bought a Logic Board from eBay and made sure I got one from the same year: 2014 2.8ghz i5 with 16gb of RAM. All connectors were re-seated, more than once and then... No video. Behavior...

Currently, I charge my laptop about twice a day and try to keep the battery level between 20% and 80%. Since I bought it on April 2nd, I've accumulated 12 charge cycles. Is it better to maintain the battery this way, or should I keep it plugged in most of the time and only use it on battery when...

After years of unregulated use of Macbooks the organisation I work for is starting to manage our Macbooks by swiping them and installing software like Microsoft Defender and Edge... Is there a way to take control over this macbook before they wipe it? And maintain control after? After the wipe...
