    iM 4,1-14,4 I Broke My iMac

    This is so embarrassing, but here it goes... A few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my 27" Late 2012 iMac with a shiny new 500GB SSD. For a brief, glorious moment, it worked like a dream! But then, disaster struck: I found the screws from the left speaker lying on my carpet. I knew loose screws...

    Sleep schedule is driving me mad…

    The schedule is a day ahead and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have seen other threads in Apple support forums and Reddit but never an answer/fix. It is currently Wednesday, and yet the next schedule is for Thursday. My phone woke me up at 6am, and based on Tuesday...

    iPad Why isn’t my iPad turning on?

    My iPad was dropped down a flight of stairs and fell on the carpet. My touchscreen is relatively that damaged, probably a few thin cracks through. My iPad bezel, however, is completely destroyed and the screen is coming off the body. Any way I can turn it on?

    Weird Macintosh Plus video issue

    Can anyone help me out? My Plus is stretching the screen beyond the upper and lower bounds of the display. Adjusting the height potentiometer will not adjust this back to its correct size. There is a little x axis jitter - about 2mm of deflection every couple seconds. Tapping the analog...

    MLK Tribute on Apple Homepage - iBook Not Available...

    Screenshots attached. The MLK quote is awesome, (and very relevant for many reasons) but the book link seems to be broken as the book isn't available and I can't find in when I search in the iBook store. Anyone else ?

    Dead Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard. Is there a way to revive it?

    The title might be a bit misleading, but let me explain. Two months ago, a friend of mine gave me an Apple A1016 keyboard, that he got for 5€. I couldn't pair it with anything at first, but I soon found out that I have to type in a "secret" PIN (0000 in my case), before I enter the pairing...

    Any idea what happened to my mouse pad?

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. I haven’t used it for a very long time (had a baby which kept me busy) and when I have come back to use it the mouse pad looks like this? The tracking or movement registers still but the touch click does not. Everything else seems to be working fine and I have...
