    Unsigned/Self-Signed App Permissions

    Hello all. I am using some 3rd party software that is unsigned on my Mac. The developer’s install notes say to self-sign it with: codesign --force --deep -s - /Applications/AppName.app && xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AppName.app This works fine except I’m getting double...

    running x86/x64 applications in Parallels ARM Windows 11?

    Afternoon all, I was curious about running native x86/x64 applications in the ARM version of Windows 11 under Parallels on the new M1/M2 Macs. Is this possible? I know of Rosetta, but wasn't sure how that plays into the VM side of things. The reason I ask, I wanted to get back into...

    I think I've found the best way to remove the notch on MacBooks

    I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

    Upgrading Intel apps to Apple Silicon

    Hi guys. I am planning to switch to Apple Silicon Mac from my Intel Mac. I plan to migrate my data using Migration Assistant or Time Machine backup. My question is how will natively supported apps be migrated to Apple Silicon? Will I need to do it manually? By deleting Intel versions and...

    MBP 14"/16" 32GB Buyers: M1 Pro or M1 Max

    So, the new MBP's are looking pretty amazing, but let's be honest, they're also pretty expensive, particularly if you need more RAM or a faster SOC. Given that it's $400(!) to go from 16GB -> 32GB of ram, bringing the total cost to an eye watering $2399 for the 14" model with the base M1 Pro SOC...

    Apple Music App not playing songs on MacBook Pro M1

    Since today's morning, I cannot play any song from the Apple Music app on my MacBook Pro M1. Neither from my library nor from anywhere. It just keeps jumping from song to song without playing anyone. My Apple Music subscription is working fine, as I can play music from the web or on my iPhone...

    Did I just "prove" new iMacs for April 20 event?

    Did I just "prove" that we are getting new iMacs on April 20? The image on the left is taken from one of Apple's first(?) ads for their first(?) Macintosh computers and the slogan back then was "For the rest of us." and the screen with the "hello." and the whole thing of being able to draw free...

    Is there an eficheck tool for Arm Macs?

    Earlier Macs had the possibility to check the EFI firmware or even create a complete dump of it from within the OS: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/25/macos-high-sierra-weekly-efi-security-check/ https://eclecticlight.co/2018/06/02/how-high-sierra-checks-your-efi-firmware/ This was...

    MacBook Air M1 with 4K monitor

    Hey, I was thinking about getting a new external monitor for my MacBook Air M1. From what I can tell, the Dell P2721Q 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitor seems like a good choice. I would like to get 4K at 60Hz through USB-C, so that I can use the Monitor-MacBook as a "one-cable-setup" . From what I...

    Do you think that Apple's next line of Macs will be proportionately more expensive?

    As the title really. With the huge success of the M1 chip and people being blown away by the performance (especially for the money spent), do you think Apple essentially underpriced this initial range of new macs and will therefore put in place a big price jump in the second generations we will...

    MacBook Pro M1 iCloud Back up

    So I finally got my new MacBook Pro M1 and I'm loving it! I still have my 2015 MacBook Pro on which I have enabled back up through iCloud for all my documents and desktop. The issue is that now my M1 MacBook Pro is getting all the documents from that MacBook and I really don't want that as I...

    Are There Any Issues with Wacom Graphics Tablet Drivers for M1 based Machines?

    Hello, I was curious if Wacom Drivers emulate well on M1 ARM-based Macs or if it's just completely hung up on x86 based ones? Also, I can't seem to find if any of these graphics tablet companies are developing or have already developed drivers for the new Macs yet. Maybe I'm just looking in...

    DreamLab app performance on new Mac Air or Pro...any input?

    Hi all, I have not purchased the new M1 Macbooks yet but I was wondering how well the DreamLab app (that runs on other iOS devices) runs on the new M1 laptops. If you download it and run the COVID19 Project, let me know about how many Calculations are getting per hour please. Thanks in advance!

    Data science (R and SPSS 26 etc.) under Rosetta 2 / Apple silicon M1?

    I know there are tons of posts with benchmarks and tests whether a given software works, but I would like to dedicate this thread to data science apps e.g. R, RStudio, SPSS, Python (I know it will work natively), QGIS and additional software that researchers use to create illustrations as e.g...

    Why does x86 exist?

    Sorry if I'm dumb, but Apple silicon is ,according to rumors, supposed to be more power efficient generate less heat but also more powerful (a14x better than core i9?) and also be cheaper. Then why has x86 ever become popular/the standard if Apple silicon/Arm is, I guess, better in every way?

    Discussion: Wait for ARM IMac release or Buy 2019 New IMac Now and Trade In once ARM is released?

    So after reading through post for a few days im getting the feeling there is a fairly large group of people that are stuck between these two options like myself. With Apple really giving no information about pricing, and release date (other than late 4Q20 or 1/2Q21), would this be a good...

    Iphone SE 2 like Macbook?

    It can be a good idea for apple to start off its Armbook lineup with SE like device with a super powerful high end processor but skimp on other aspects like having only 1080p screen , normal speakers , keyboard. An ideal price point can be 999$ for 8GB Ram, 256 GB storage? If it sells enough it...

    Mac Nano / Apple Pi

    Any chance at getting a Mac Nano now that they're switching to ARM chips? I'm thinking something along the lines of the Mac Mini dev kit, but with a much smaller enclosure. Basically take whatever current iPad Pro CPU, and put it in a tiny case with soldered RAM and SSD. No fan like Macs, and no...

    iPad Pro Holup! A12Z Bionic running Big Sur, native apps support on a desktop and running Tomb Raider??

    So I was watching the keynote yersterday, but correct me if I am wrong, did they just popped in an A12Z bionic SOC onto a desktop environment running Big Sur, showing all the native apps running off the A12Z and playing Tomb Raider with it? I mean, I have always known that the SoC on the iPad...
