My twin also has a muscle disease like me. I saw him using our big family iMac the other day. He can type fine, albeit slow, but the thing that slows him down is moving his hand over to the mouse and then back to the keyboard again. It was painful to watch. Are there products out there that can...

I just repaired the power input part of my MacBook Logic board and after turning on, I found out that the CPU temperature sometimes doesn't work. What could be wrong with my MacBook and am I able to use it for another 1-2 years because I'm worried that some components are starting to fall apart.

I have a 27" iMac from late 2009. It has a 2.8 Ghz Intel core i7 processor, 8GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, and an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB graphics card/chip. It has a 1 TB SATA HD of which about 687GB is available. The OS is High Sierra (10.13.6). I essentially leave it turned on 24/7, and for a...

Need some advice! My 2016 MBP has started showing thin horizontal lines in one corner (see pic). Ran a diagnostic on it and it came up with nothing. Any ideas what this could be and how fast it progresses, since I won't be able to bring my Mac in to service for a few weeks.

... is now officially acknowledged: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/yw9qk7/macbook-pro-software-locks-prevent-independent-repair?utm_source=reddit.com This took a lot of time to implement in advance, first in software then in hardware. Apple did it in iOS and their iPhone/iPad...

I have a 20" model a1224. It's been stored (indoors) for years now while I have moved on. At some point (when already no longer the main computer) it started having occasional problems with freezing already right after startup. At some point it wouldn't boot at all or it would get stuck onto the...

Yes, I did it and im crying inside, I've spilled a full 500ml of whey, creatine and water on my MacBook Pro 2017 without Touch Bar keyboard. my keyboard feels a little bit weird now, but no key is sticking to the end anymore, and the trackpad stopped working properly for 2 days but it looks...

Following the release of 2018 MacBook Pro models last month, some customers have turned to the MacRumors Forums, Apple Support Communities, Reddit, and YouTube to report intermittent crackling from the built-in speakers. The crackling appears to occur spontaneously during audio playback on...

Any iPhone X owner knows how frustrating it is when their phone is landscape orientation and you must rotate your phone to unlock with your face! I was wondering if this is a definite hardware issue (meaning it would be introduced as a feature of a new generation of iPhone) or COULD this be a...

I have been using a Mac in some form or another for years. And they have always had a model that I could get excited about when I was looking to upgrade. But I am hugely disappointed by the total lack of a 'reasonable' option in the current market. First, almost all of the current categories...

I have always loved iMac, it’s my favorite computer since I first got it in 2007. But lately there’s has been lackluster updates from Apple. Nothing that quite captures one’s imagination and attention as the white candy iMac did back in the day. Not to even talk about the lamp. That was crazy...

(sorry if its too much to read i thought i should give as much info as i can so find the best help) i got a iPhone from a friend its a iphone 6 plus and the screen was broken, i bought a new screen and replaced it with no problems, it worked fine for almost...

I've have a 3tb fusion drive on imac that I had partitioned as a 2.45tb drive and a ~500gb other partition, when I was formatting the larger one the computer froze and I had to force shut down. That 2.45 drive is now not showing up at all. I've tried fresh installs, ran recovery mode and tried...

Hey guys - So, ever since I updated to High Sierra, my external hard drive (MyPassport, formatted Mac OS Extended Journaled) doesn't show up in Finder but appears in Disk Utility just fine. Yes, I have external drives ticked in Finder's Preferences. After some investigation, I right...

After watching the not-as-helpful-as-I-thought YouTube videos on the subject, I, a relative newbie to hardware hacking, decided to clone the hard drive of my elegant-but-limited 1.25 MHz 20 inch iMac G4 to a 120 GB SSD I had gathering dust, then took it apart to swap the drives. I'd like to...

I have a 13 inch 2016 MacBook Pro with TB and have noticed that when opening the lid of my laptop after it was fully shut, that occasionally I will hear a noise (as if something is shifting in the display) and feel something moving inside. There have been reports that when you shake the laptop...

I have a mid 2011 Mac Mini. While following instructions for upgrading my hard drive to an SSD, I disconnected the fan's 4-pin connector from the board and two of the wires came out of the plastic connector. I'm having a really hard time getting them back in there. One side of the plastic for...

Just realised this during the past couple of days. Recently when having my MacBook Pro placed on a desk and resting my palms somewhat firmly, upon raising my palm I hear a creaking noise. It's hard to describe. Similar to the sound of metal expanding due to different temperatures. Is this a...

I was scrolling through Twitter and did something I almost never do and that is using the arrow up and down keys for scrolling. At first everything seemed to be going fine but then I began to realise some issues specially with the arrow down key. I noticed that when I lightly pressed the key it...

Hey everyone! Happy Holidays! So for Christmas this year i decided to fix up a dead macbook for my mom. I got it up and running and everything is great, however the HDD does not sit flush in the HDD compartment (It was originally my brother's computer and he was quite rough with it, which is my...
