    Bluetooth Cutting Out - Apple Support is Beyond Useless

    I am on the phone now with Apple Support. I have my expensive Apple Care, but my Logitech M585 mouse and Logitech K780 bluetooth keeps cutting out. It happens for a few seconds at a time, sometimes as often as every few minutes, sometimes not for several hours or a day, then it starts up again...

    Help with domain-connected Mac

    Can anyone help with Macs in a classroom connected to network/server/domain? They have built up a lot of system storage and slow, likely due to lots of user profiles being stored over years. Can I delete older user profiles in Directory Utility?

    List of Apple Arcade games which work on non-metal Macs

    I decided to test out and try to document which Apple Arcade games work on early Intel, non-Metal Macs running Catalina unofficially. For some reason, not all games are made for the Metal API, which means that some work surprisingly well. Some also used to work, but no longer do (Crossy Road...

    M1 Mac network speed.

    I have just replaced a 2008 iMac for an M1 Mac Mini. Wireless speed is painfully slow at times where it takes an age to connect to, or screen share the M1 from my main iMac, late 2015. Using the exact same network, with settings that ape the ones on my main iMac, I am getting about 70Mbps. My...

    I am the original owner of this 8TB, 10-core 2020 iMac, that was returned in December, and I think someone bought my returned iMac recently, because right now it is showing a new location on my iCloud account. (Since it is still connected to my returned iMac). I actually used this iMac for...

    27" iMac (late 2015) screen black after dropping

    I was re-arranging my study room and put my iMac on a chair, it wasn't stable and dropped to the timber floor, there's no mark on the iMac itself but some scratches on the timber, which made me think the iMac is tough enough, but then the iMac screen doesn't light up, I could hear the sound when...

    Photo Booth alternative for timed webcam snaps

    Hi. Sometimes for reference pictures to draw from, I take photos of myself, usually hands and feet, face, head, but sometimes I need to take a pose from further away. I've been clumsily using the photo booth app on my iMac. I get into position in front of the cam, try to remember where I need...

    As I was working on my 27” mid2010 iMac, the computer froze and its screen changed with strange graphic artefacts. I shut it down and after a min when I tried to power it back on again, it just wouldn’t start. When I pressed the power button to turn it on, I could hear the fans starting to work...

    IMac IOS re-install

    Hi, I have an IMac Model A1224. I'm needing to re-install Yosemite on it. Apparently this model which I believe is 2010 doesn't have the option for the internet restore. I tried booting it from a USB stuck but it's not recognizing the stick. I even put the OS on a DVD but it doesn't want to...

    I would really like to buy Apple Display (the cheaper one, currently in development according to Mark Gurman) and MacBook Pro 16 M1X. But currently both are not yet released. So I am considering (in the meantime) to buy M1 iMac to replace my 2017 15 inch MacBook Pro. I am going to use it for...

    Late 2013 iMac 27 - run entirely from external SSD?

    Hi there, Researching for a friend that has a Apple iMac 27-Inch "Core i5" 3.2 (Late 2013) It has an internal 1TB spinning drive and she says it's slow - of course it is! Probably close to failure too. So, without seeing the computer, I should be able to buy an external USB3 SSD (Eg Samsung T7)...

    27" iMac Upgrading Memory

    Five plus years later, and outside of some display retention issues around the edge of the screen after long use, I still am a huge fan of my Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 iMac. With that being said, I have found myself looking at memory upgrades. Needed? Maybe not, but also of some "why not"...

    Is something wrong with my new 2021 iMac 24”?

    I just received this iMac about 6 days ago. I ordered it officially through the Apple website. When I turned it on, the screen looked a little odd to me. Like there was too much light internal light shining through the display causing it to look overly bright and washed out in some areas. If...

    iMac accessories — where can I sell them?

    Hiya I wanted to know where a good place to sell my 2021 iMac keyboard & mouse accessories would be. Keyboard is the TouchID + numpad option. They aren’t ergonomic, and I absolutely hate the way the magic mouse’s scroll wheel tracks/goes up & down. I tried looking up the accessory names, but...
