    Hi, Since buying the 2018 mbp 13" (only slightly bigger than my donger, no joke ;)) I have begun seeing unexplainable bluetooth issues that were not present in my late 2013, 13" model. My magic keyboard / trackpad gets random disconnections or latency. My non-apple bluetooth speakers crackle...

    Incase incompatible w/ mbp?

    This: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKY92ZM/A/ with 2017 13" w/ function keys, leads to this: So you can't open the lid pretty much more than 90° before the lid part of case pushes the bottom part of the case out of it's place? Way to go Incase!

    G-Tech loses hundreds (thousands) of RMA Drives?

    Anyone else run into this? I bought a G-Technology G-DRIVE with Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C 6TB drive 3 months ago. One day it had dismounted and shut down. No signs of life. I called G-Tech and they gave me an RMA and told me that I'd get a replacement 3-5 days after they received my faulty...

    OS X Failure to launch ETS2 from Steam, El Cap 10.11.6

    Hey all; got a weird one. Since Mar 21 when a new version of Steam client rolled out, I have not been able to launch my copy of Euro Truck Simulator 2. This is a sim I have heavily invested in (both in DLCs and in playing hours -- more than 450 hours over the last 2+ years!) so it's pretty...

    iPhone 5 or earlier iPhone 5s fail, should Apple replace free?

    Last March (2017) I had my iPhone 5s battery replaced ofter 2.4 years of use (batt dying). In changing the battery they tore the tab, so instead they only allowed me to replaced the entire phone (same $79 charge). So in March 2017 I received a BRAND NEW iPhone 5s, however they only provided a...

    Windows Support Driver for iMac Pro (and gaming)

    Note: before reading below, yes I do realize that the iMac Pro is not for gaming. I do CGI and dev work. However, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of boot camp gaming on the side. If you're thinking is in line with mine, you'd be sadden to discover that the drivers provided by Apple *WILL...

    Hi, do you have similar problem with focusing on tele lens. I have and it so unpleasant. Is it software bug or reason for return the phone? Wide lens works fine, but after 2x zoom camera shifting while focusing. Just like in a youtube video below.

    MacBook Pro won't start

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 13". I've made regular, heavy, daily use of it for years - with few problems and none that I can recall for the past 6 months. I used it last night, but this morning it would not wake from sleep and it will not boot. I've spent all day searching for...

    General Dive into the details of iOS 11: Is Apple still detail-oriented?

    Here is one great text and you should see it and read it. https://hackernoon.com/dive-into-the-details-of-ios-11-is-apple-still-detail-oriented-fe70af065a7d How on earth they did this? Why? Was it too much for Apple? I know Apple from early days, but this? This is not Apple or maybe they...

    iPhone X control center swipe from the top, will that annoy you?

    It's a lot of extra work to swipe down from the top of the screen currently on the iPhone 6 and above, and even more annoying if using a 6 or 7 Plus. Using the iPhone X this will be manditory to access control center, this seems as unnecessary as removing the home button just to have a "cool...

    How does the full screen display on the iPhone X benefit you?

    Just wondering how having an extra 1/2" of screen at the top and bottom benefit the user? Do you think it's better? Was there any problems with having a face that wasn't a full screen?

    New MBP, not in store?

    Certainly I couldn't any evidence of them in the Solihull store. What I did see was blank spaces where I assume the 11" MBA used to be. It appears to be a consistent feature of every new release - no demo stock. Seems we have to rely on reviews as the retail experience is becoming a joke.

    iPad Pangu 9.3.3 JB acting weird on my IPad Air 1

    I used the Pangu JB both the impactor method and the pphelper method. It was impactor method that finally worked. I installed several tweaks before the Cydia icon left, it just left. Now you see me, now you don't. One of the tweaks I installed was I don't remember it's name, but it allowed Cydia...

    MacBook repair fail.

    Hi Guys. So I had a repair on my MacBook back in February and I have been having some problems since picked it up. As far as I can remember they replaced the mother board and a sensor in the palm resting area... the fan would always be on - ALWAYS. So, when I picked it up I noticed that it was...
