    iMacs that don't have Air Play

    A VERY long interaction (4 hours in total) with Apple Support - to no avail - led me to some research. My iMac (2017 Intel) doesn't have Air Play. Support had no idea why. Wanted to patch it with my iPhone, made all sorts of irrelevant claims and were clueless. BUT - it does seem that hardware...

Alongside the SSD swap, I also installed 32GB of Crucial memory, coming from the stock 8GB apple memory. Before I sealed the screen back up, I...

    Easy question, regarding an unorthodox wipe.

    So, I have based all my wrong doing to this poor mac air 2017 into one wrong move. I originally didn't think that there would be a problem formatting the entire drive and putting Manjaro (a form of linux) on the computer as the only OS. All things considering, that's actually when I lost the...
