going to need to recover after this final quarter of the year! the 14 (if the rumours are true) and hopefully a redesigned watch will make 2022 epic!

Same. I'm so broke now. I'm not going to the Apple store anymore until next September, LOL

Rice and Ketchup, here we go

the black market for those cloths will be something else! you'd make a killing on ebay!

Yep, you'll still have to untick stuff in iCloud, it turns some things on by default. 🤦‍♂️

So, should I set it up as new and don't enter my Apple ID in ?

That's a great idea. But 10 clothes 10 fingers. I'm keeping them, ALL!!! buhhaha!

I wouldn't mind sending you one

Following this. In fact, I'm more worried about a lot of old Intel software coming over since I would be restoring a lot from my TM backup from an Intel Mac.

BL.

No!!! 😂 enter your Apple ID, then go into iCloud and untick all the crap that you don't want on, make sure find my is turned on.

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 My OCD is gone for now 😁😂 agree, at 7 bars brightness, the screen looks a lot better, anything below that, it looks very dim.

You are welcome! After all of the talk about the screen settings, I realized that True Tone was on and immediately turned it off which made for a much better view.

Before I turn in my mac min as a trade-in this weekend, I’m going to see how things turn out once I connect the MBP to both of my monitors. I’m just too busy with work and school to mess with it before Friday. 🥺

Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need me to test anything else. Oh, and my therapy sessions are free. 😁

Yeah that's why I'm setting up as new. New silicon architecture = I don't want years of Intel Mac config garbage polluting the new system. I'll manually transfer the files I need over.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Wow! I’m definitely going to test out different backgrounds. In all of my other Apple devices, I have it set in dark mode which @Apple_Robert turned me onto. It is much more comfortable on my eyes, but on my desktop, I use the light mode for work and school.

I can’t wait to hear your impressions after your delivery tomorrow.

Turning a lady on is music to my tech ears.

If I do that is it going to bring any of the iCloud files over? I want my Mac to start off fresh!! 0 files.

 

[julit0]

Yes, it was delivered this morning. I was working so I didn’t have a chance to set it up when it arrived. It’s now set up and it is a thing of beauty. 🤩😍🥰

So far, which color do you like the best? Are they both 16” or one of each?

WOW, after all the hard work that you put in to making this thread totally awesome, inclusive, fun and entertaining —
thank you!

Congrats your new MBP! Happy Mac'ing!!

Anyone in the Nov 3-5 crowd have any updated scans? Looks like there were 2 flights from Shanghai to Incheon that just landed about an hour ago. Not sure how long scans take to hit the system, but I don’t have anything yet. Really disappointed in UPS. Customs can be a mess (esp in China), China has upped disinfection for most of their ports. But my MBP been sitting in Shanghai now for just under 60 hours since its “Arrival Scan”. This is horrendous.

It didn't for me 😁 then again I never had any in iCloud 😁😂🤦‍♂️

Call apple and make sure it won't, don't want to tell you something that I'm not 100% sure about. 😇

in the UK with a 4-8th window which shipped yesterday with it due on the 29th... its been sat in Shanghai for over 37 hours without an update!

there was a similar flight to Incheon yesterday with no updates for me.. maybe its on today's plane!

I set it up from a backup, that way, it retained all of my settings, passwords, apps, etc.

Congratulations!!! Woo hoo!!

 

[kmingis]

I don’t think I’m ever pre-ordering again. I’m still waiting on my MBP to arrive. It’s too easy to nab one in-store on launch day.

Fact check: True.

I just don't want any of the old files.

@Bea220 I don't want you to miss out on my post. We are waiting for you

I’m sad. They don’t offer space gray Magic Mouse anymore. It’s a classic. No idea why Apple eliminated that.

They stopped selling them basically once they discontinued the Space Gray iMac Pro, earlier this year. I remember there was some news about this... Ah, found it. I agree with you, really like the look of it, especially if you have the Space Gray MBP. Can still pick them up from other 3rd party retailers who still have stock though.

Apple Stops Selling Magic Accessories in Space Gray

Apple this week stopped selling its Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, Magic Mouse 2, and Magic Trackpad 2 accessories for the Mac in a Space Gray...

One of my programs required Rosetta to be installed. Now, the program that I need to remote into work is very smooth.

I will always appreciate and look forward to your words of wisdom! 😊 I’ve missed your conversations and sense of humor in the pre-order threads.
