    Safari won't start

    I'm using 10.15.3 (19D76) on a 16" MBP, earlier today Safari stopped responding and after force quitting won't open back up. I'm guessing it's something to do with the Adblocker extension. I installed a new version of the OS and it's still happening but once I created a second user I was able to...

    My MacBook Air 2015 was shipped to a company for repairs and now it appears to have a MBA 2015 serial number! The Apple website does not recognise any of the serial numbers. Has my logic board been swapped without my permission? The specs still say 1.8GHz Dual Core i5, but I don't think any of...

    I have been receiving these kernel panics multiple times a day (the computer freezes, followed by an eventual crash/restart if I don't do a hard shut down first). It occurs most frequently when waking the computer from sleep. Often I'll go to the bathroom and return to my computer, only to see...
