    External monitor gone after 15.2 update

    I just installed the latest (15.2) MacOS update. Unfortunately, my external screen ( DELL U4919DW conected via USB C) is now not recognized anymore. Neither is the built-in USB hub, which left me wondering whether it's just this "Allow accessory to connect" window that should be popping up...

    Since updating to MacOS 15.2 my Mac mini seems to think the screen is being mirrored

    Since updating today to 15.2 this screen mirroring icon shows as blue and says I am extending my screen to my display (the only one connected via HDMI). I am using a samsung odyssey ark as a monitor and did not have this issue before today. Is this a new feature, a bug, or something I can fix...

    14" MBP owners, what resolution do you run?

    What resolution are you running on your screen? Default, more space, less space? The default always feels nice at first but it leaves a lot of useful screen real estate available that could be more efficiently used. I've always run more space but have been trying out the default. Not sure I can...

    Hey there, Last night when I synced my watch with my new iPhone 16 Pro Max I noticed that a weird dark line was present in the middle of the screen.

    MBA 1,1-6,2 Mid-2012 MacBook Air - Source of display flickering?

    So I picked up a cheap Mid-2012 MacBook Air 5,2/A1466 with a working battery and an SSD in good shape, with a display hinge that was a tad loose. That was all fine. But I later discovered subtle, but very noticeable flickering with the display, where the brightness would modulate up and down in...

    How can I make a window open on the same display as the dock I use to open it??

    I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. I don't know why it's not default behavior to open a window on the same display you click to open it.
