    iPad Pro Is it possible to activate Siri Shortcuts with a keyboard shortcut?

    Hi. THis is a question about Siri Shortcuts (MacRumors Admins, there should be a Shortcuts subforum, it's amazing when you start sharing shortcuts among the community), but because it involves the use of a Smart keyboard, I posted it on the iPad subforum. My question is: Is there a way to...

    Resolved Media Buttons not working IN iTunes

    SOLUTION: The media keys IN iTunes are for some odd reason (or maybe a bug) internet bound. No internet means they don't work in iTunes but just fine for every other Media Player etc. I will contact Apple and ask if I have the time in the near future. If something substantial is said I will...

    What do you think about the "new" Magic Keyboard?

    I got the new Magic Keyboard (with numerical pad) with my iMac 2019 and I can't seem to get used to it because of the new key spacing and sizing. The F-keys are the same size as the other keys and the spacing between the enter and delete key is almost identical to the other keys so I don't...

    iPad Pro Is there a keyboard that can prop up iPad in portrait orientation?

    As a writer, I often have my iPad in the portrait orientation. My iPad Air 2 with the Belkin Qode Ultimate Keyboard is such a sweet set-up for that. Now, I love the appearance of the new iPad Pro and want to upgrade. However, I can't seem to find a decent external keyboard that will hold the...

    MacBook Pro Extreme?

    I've been thinking that Apple needs a ruggedized version of its MacBooks. A line made for more extreme uses. Military grade specs. There are industries and sectors that Apple doesn't do well in because not only are they expensive, the MacBooks aren't as durable. Right now if you drop your...

    Keyboard marks on the display

    Hi all! I have a question. I've bought my first ever Macbook in January. Everything been doing great, but today I saw keyboard marks on the screen. It is a laptop for work, so I'm not carrying it around much. Why did this happen? Is this factory defect? It's a very expensive machine and I care...

    Duplicating custom macOS Keyboard Shortcuts

    Hi - Is there a way to copy custom keyboard shortcuts in macOS to another Mac? I have quite a few I've built and I'd love to copy them easily, but all I can find is that these shortcuts live in the .plist files (some are system, others are in the application's .plist file). Thanks in advance...

    2018 13" MBP backlit keyboard bleed

    Just got this laptop 2 days ago.. my first Mac and noticed there is a defect in the backlighting of the spacebar.. the silicone membrane is making the light bleed unevenly. It's noticeable and now my OCD won't let me stop seeing it. Looks like shoddy craftsmanship and the reason I bought this...

    K480-like alternative for 11” iPad Pro

    I’ve got a K480 that is great for typing on my iPad at home, while also quickly switching between my Apple TV or phone. The problem is the divot for holding the iPad doesn’t really fit the 11” iPad Pro and the iPad easily falls out. Anyone else know of an alternative that will hold the iPad...

    Stuck Key

    5 months after the top case replacement the backspace started getting stuck. After hitting hard a few times it gets working again. Is there any chance of it getting fixed by itself? Or is it doomed to completely fail?

    Hello, I’m a college student and I’m trying to decide with MacBook Air to get. I’m not interested in the pros. My biggest concern is reliability.

    I have #MacBookFear

    I'm well overdue for a new laptop, but sheez, with the recent MacBook Pro keyboards and displays that both seem likely to fail and are ridiculously expensive to have repaired out of warrantee, I'm afraid to buy any recent model. A comparable Dell XPS 15, say, with what seems like an even better...

    Hey MacRumors Peeps! I've been searching for someone who's had a similar issue on the internet, and I'm not finding much. Probably because of so many other keyboard issues with these MBP's. Anyway, mine seems to be different. I booted up my 2016 15" MBP w/ TB yesterday morning to find that the...

    Default Mouse Keys Speed

    I have just begun to learn to use mouse keys to do certain things and wish to be bound to only MacOS' default mouse keys (No use of third-party programs). Looking at the interfaces it looks like the usage about the same as Windows' mouse keys operation, but on Windows, there is an option to...

    Keyboard Issue

    I've recently bought a Macbook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports). Out of nowhere, the letter "B" on my keyboard stopped working. Sometimes, if I have the keyboard viewer on, it'd work after pressing it for more than one time. Sometimes, it doesn't. I'm still not 100% if the issue is...
