    Should I buy an M4 iMac or M4 Mini Pro (using spare monitor)?

    It's time to replace my trusty 21.5-inch Retina 4K 2017 iMac with an M4 mac. I use it as an everyday machine, but also edit photos and videos using it. The obvious choice is to just get the new M4 iMac that provides a quality all-in-one experience - the screen looks incredible, it will fit on...

    Base Mac Mini vs iMac 10-core: Can you beat the All in One?:

    Hello! I am curious to know - what peripherals would you buy to add to a M4 mac mini that would create a package that would be cheaper but just as good quality, than the 10-core M4 iMac? Or maybe peripherals that add up to about the same price as the iMac, but better quality. Is this possible...

    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...

    iM 4,1-14,4 I Broke My iMac

    This is so embarrassing, but here it goes... A few weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my 27" Late 2012 iMac with a shiny new 500GB SSD. For a brief, glorious moment, it worked like a dream! But then, disaster struck: I found the screws from the left speaker lying on my carpet. I knew loose screws...

    iMac 27" 2011 Woes

    Greetings all, A friend gifted me a 27" iMac, from 2011, and right now I am just looking for some stability with it. When he gave it to me, he somehow managed to get Sonoma installed, but the hardware, given its age, was having a panic attack and it didn't work right. After MUCH fighting with a...

    Looking for reliable 3rd party Backup software

    Im on a M1 iMac using TimeMachine, but I also have external discs that I need backed up to my NAS regularly. I need incremental backups, that's why CCC is no recommendation as it has no real incremental backups. For the last year I used Acronis software, only with the release of OSX15 they show...

    Hi 🙂 I'm helping my neighbor finding a new iMac for editing videos in iMovie and some music in GarageBand. Today, he has a 2019 model iMac running on an Intel 3,6 GHz processor with 8 GB RAM.

    Mirroring with my AVP with my baseline M1 iMac is a bad experience. Everything slows downs, there's lag, FPS drops, Chrome is almost unusable, and it's overall a very bad experience. I have none of these issues with my M3 MacBook Air 16GB, where performance is stellar. A couple folks have said...

    Signing into Sonoma

    19,1 iMac/Sonoma 14.6.1, How did I add an account blank to my sign-in menu in Sonoma. I used to only need to fill in my password to start up my iMac. Somehow I have added a blank for a name. How did I do this? Anyone know how to go back to only the password needed to start up my iMac?
