    Mac Studio Display vs iMac 24

    After the announcement of the Mac Studio display, I was underwhelmed. The display is gorgeous, but spending £1,500 on the display alone with an iMac sitting a couple hundred cheaper is making me question the value I will get from this display vs the price. Another display is out the question, I...

    Do 2020 5k models exhibit any UI/animation lag or stutters?

    I have a beloved mid 2014 13 inch MacBook Pro which has always had stuttering animations for things like scrolling, opening folders, going full screen etc. due to underpowered iGPU for the retina resolution. We’ve come a long way since then, so is there any of these less-than-60fps animations on...

    IMac v Studio Display

    Can someone help me please. I was looking at the specs of the new Studio Display and beyond the larger size is there any advantage in buying one of those (to use with my MacBook Pro) rather than an iMac. It seems to me that if I got the Studio display (and then had to buy a keyboard and mouse...

    27" iMac is dead 😟

    Did anyone just catch John Ternus saying... "making our transition nearly complete with only one product left to go, the Mac Pro" That sound like the 27" iMac will not get updated to Apple Silicon. I hope it's not true. ?

The problem is I only have a Bluetooth keyboard and don’t have easy access to a wired keyboard, so I can’t get back in.

The iPhoto library on that old Mac goes back to my original G4 Mac, being transferred to subsequent Macs as I upgraded. However, there was a spanner in the works when Apple replaced iPhoto with Photos. I...

    My iMac completely ignores when I hold down alt at boot

    I've tried two wired keyboards, one of them Apple, but it just goes straight to the internal SSD. No options. How do I fix this? It's a 27 inch 2009 model, feel free to move this to 'Early Intel' if needed. Thanks!! x
