    Help me choose a new iMac for GarageBand and iMovie

    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. It's stuttering and lags pretty much all the time. Without being too certain, I think even the oldest...

    My iMac keeps asking me to force quit applications because I am running out of application memory, though I don't think my usage is particularly intensive. Is there any way to resolve this?

    Very slow performance mirroring on M1 iMac

    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?

    I had so many display issues with third party displays and my Mac mini M2; I couldn't find ones that played nice under $500, and ones in that range never hit consistent graphical performance with basic tasks like watching Hulu tv, or playing Apple Arcade, So, I recently traded my baseline Mac...
