    Repair delays - anyway way to expedite?!

    I put my MacBook Pro M1 into repair on the 3rd January at Sydney Apple Store due to the keyboard failing. Was told it would be completed by the 11th January (simple top section replacement) so I figured it was worth doing so I could have it for the rest of my stay in Aus until the end of the...

    in iPadOS 16, how do you get the big keyboard?

    On Apple’s website, it says that to get the keyboard in iPadOS, you need to pinch outwards with two fingers on the floating keyboard. But this doesn’t work for me in iPadOS 16. So how do you get to the big keyboard?

    iPad What's the difference between iPad Air and iPad10?

    Apple can just simply combine the Air and 10gen... The usb-c and Apple Pencil with lightning port is very confusing(Too inconvenient to charge) . Still keeping a 3dot connector at the bottom edge and making a new Microsoft surface keyboard is also weird, thus the vanilla iPad can't use the Magic...

    Preventing "shiny keys" on MacBook Pro

    Hey all! I have a 14-inch MBP that I like, but I've noticed that some areas of the keyboard have already started to show some shininess - even with diligent cleaning. I know Apple doesn't recommend keyboard covers for MacBooks, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried decals/stickers on keys to...

    Other Macbook pro: Fixing loose/wobbly keycaps

    It's not a well-known issue, but there have been a few reports of macbook pros (2010 - 2015) having loose or wobbly keycaps. Now this isn't something you would really notice unless it bothered you (especially since you would acclimate to it over time), but since I couldn't find any information...

    MacBook keyboard dust

    Hello folks. I have been searching around for a possible topic that mentions any dust issue with the keyboards of Macbooks. I noticed something that I have lots of dust particles under the keyboard buttons of my 2021 MBP 14". Do you think it can be a problem after some time, so do I need to use...

    Dead Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard. Is there a way to revive it?

    The title might be a bit misleading, but let me explain. Two months ago, a friend of mine gave me an Apple A1016 keyboard, that he got for 5€. I couldn't pair it with anything at first, but I soon found out that I have to type in a "secret" PIN (0000 in my case), before I enter the pairing...

    Question about scissor-switch keyboards

    So I'm trying to get a clear understanding of which Apple laptops have the scissor-switch keyboard mechanisms vs the butterfly ones. I haven't found a definitive list anywhere and want to avoid buying or recommending the butterfly-style ones to anyone. Can someone either list or point me to a...

    Logitech MX Mechanical Tactile Quiet vs. Linear

    I'm trying to decide between the Tactile Quiet and Linear switches on the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard. About half-way down the page, you can click on buttons to hear the noise the keys make. I'm actually finding the noise of the Linear switches to be more quiet than the Tactile Quiet. Am I...

    Hi hope all are well! This is actually an interesting one. Picked up this project with my Dad for...pretty much just a fun mod project. A matte black macbook just sounded badass to me. This began before the announcement of the midnight Macbook. The plan was to separate the keyboard from the...

    I've been using my MB since 2016, love this laptop and still is everything I need. I replaced the stupid butterfly keyboard and the battery back in January and it's been running well.

    Macbook Pro (mid 2014) keyboard problem

    Hi, I’ve just bought a mid-2014 MacBook pro with non-working touchpad. Only the clicks are working at the bottom of the trackpad but it’s ok because I prefer mouse. But the main problem is the built-in keyboard. When I start typing, it freezes or disconnect for a sec in every 4-5 sec...

    Using a PC keyboard with a Mac

    I much prefer a PC keyboard with a Mac and, in System Preferences, I have remapped it so that, when I press the Control key, it acts as the Mac Command key. When I use a Word document, I can now press Control F to find a word and Control P to print. But when I press Control S the Word document...
