    Y u so dum, Siri? (Sierra 10.12.4)

    I thought Siri was supposed to get smarter with time... Seriously, more people care about cricket than bodybuilding (I can believe that) and boxing? Let's see how it does with music. Siri, when does Asgeir perform in Amsterdam? Me: "This is not how you pronounce Asgeir" Siri: "Is...

    I love my MBP but..... (does the 2015 models have the same GPU issues that the 2011 does?)

    Hi all, My first and current MBP is an early 15” 2011 model which has the infamous GPU issues. Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...

    Is it possible??...a long-term "solution" for 2011 dGPU failure that defaults the system to the iGPU

    The 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro is something that Apple and AMD both probably wish to put behind them. However, for those that own the computers, doing so isn't quite as easy, because they are aware that they have a fully functional computer, minus one part, and that the system itself ironically...

    2011 MBP-15in GPU failing -- want Lead GPU Reballing References

    I have a 2011 MBP-15 with the defective GPU design that now is failing (and the program has ended.) I want to have the GPU reballed, as it seems the only option that might work for a reasonable price with a semi-reasonable outcome. I considered: Purchasing a used 2011 logic board for $350-450...

    Mac Pro Late 2013 Can't Turn On

    Hi all, I have Mac Pro Late 2013 D300, shipped with Mavericks 10.9.5 and works fine without any problem for 2 years (i'm buying it at early 2015). Two weeks ago, I update to El Capitan 10.11.5, the problem is it can not turn on after shutdown. Press power button, its dead, and only turn motion...

    Hello Everybody, writing from Italy, so sorry for my typo's... I own a working II Europlus (the EUR version of the +) and a IIe which I'd like to restore. By switching it on, the IIe beeped and I got a strange "Apple §°" something message with nothing else (attached the pic). Then, I went to...

    PSA: Don't put off backup management until it is too late! How to prepare for the worst!

    A recent post by yet another user whose RAID 5 array failed and due to unautomated backups is now facing a huge bill to recover missing data from a data recovery company that led me to create this thread. Too many companies and IT professionals haven't had this drilled into them enough and as a...

    iMac Fusion Drive Failure?! Data Recovery Help Needed!

    I have a BTO iMac 27" from late 2013. A few months ago I realised that it would always seem to crash and restart itself whenever I put it to sleep for periods longer than a few hours (I have since been told that this behaviour is inherent to a failing hard drive). And then two weeks ago, when I...

    Deleted my Macintosh HD, trying to reboot mavericks from a USB drive

    I bought a mac book pro, mid 2012, retina version- from somebody I didn't know, off of craigslist. First mistake. It seemed to work fine, but after awhile it started freezing often and then the folder with a question mark started to appear. I was told that all I had to do was make a bootable USB...

    2012 MBP 13" 2.5 logic board failure - upgrade?

    I'm 99% sure the logic board failed on my MBP. I'm fairly adept at this stuff but I'm still going to have it diagnosed. Does anyone know if you can put the motherboard from the 2012 13" i7 2.9 GHz in it? They are priced the same, and a little performance boost would be awesome. Edit: I'm 99%...

    So my Mac is on it's way out after 6 months

    Picked up a Space Grey MacBook in November - today it boots way slower than normal and I get this 'gorgeous' display error. Three reboots seems to have fixed it for now but has anyone else had this problem? Pretty disappointing to see this already..

    What is the CAUSE of the endless Updating (but not) Numbers spreadsheets over iCloud?

    You know what I'm talking about. You have a spreadsheet on both your iPhone and your iPad, and you blithely update on either device and watch it instantly update to the other device. 99% of the time. Oh but that 1% drives you crazy. The other device senses the change, starts to update the...
