    Filemaker on Parallels and Win10 for ARM

    I had to install a new version for Parallels on the M1. But I can no longer install Filemaker on it. In the installation process, I get to where the Visual Studio C++ libraries should be installed (attached picture in German). Then the installation stops without any further message... Does...

    iPad Pro Where are our M1-Exclusive iPad OS Features?

    The article below references how several Mac OS Monterrey features are not available on Intel Macs and only available on M1 Macs. Seeing as how they’re cutting out people who made purchases that costed thousands of dollars, only a couple years ago, WHERE are our M1 iPad OS 15 features...

    Hey all, I am still not quite sure about this, as there have been a few comparison videos so far and things weren't clear from those. is there really no noticeable difference at this point between the experience of having an 8 GB model vs a 16 GB model, except for storage?

    iPad Pro What would you Need to See at WWDC to keep your M1 iPad?

    Hey all, so it’s no surprise at this point that a bunch of people are thinking of returning their M1 iPads based on WWDC. One of the things brought up is Pro apps, though that could mean different things. For example, if they just bring in Final Cut Pro and I see nothing about Xcode or things...

    iPad Pro Practical Uses of 16 GB of RAM?

    Hey all, So here it is. iPads are out. One of the novel features this time is 16 GB of RAM. A very compelling upgrade, but what is it's purpose right now? What does it change about your experience? There have been reports about apps not having to refresh while they're all open at once, though...

    CPU type is not support, can only run on Intel CPU

    Hi everyone, is there any solution for this problem? I want to install some plugin/app on my M1 Mac but its working only on Intel CPU Macs. I already have Rosetta but its not working. Probably because its not application but a .pkg installation file. Is there any chance to run this on M1 Mac?

    iPad Pro (Poll) Macbook Air or iPad Pro 12.9 for a student

    The only Windows applications I use is Chrome, Zoom, Teams, Office, Onedrive, iCloud. For entertainment, Netflix, Youtube, Twitch. Hearthstone is my guilty pleasure and only game I would play outside of PC. IMO it's insane MB Air and iPad Pro 12.9 cost almost the same, but you are getting much...

    iPad Pro Which iPad Pro 11" should I get ? (2020 vs 2021) No Mini-LED

    Hey guys, I was so hyped about the Mini-LED screen, the brightness, deep blacks, but unfortunately it's not happening on the 11″. I can't wait another year, I will keep this iPad for 1 or 2 years and upgrade to the newer 11” Mini-LED in the near future. The 12.9” is very tempting, but I don't...

    iPad Air Ipad Air 4 vs New Ipad pro

    With this new substantial improvement to the pro lineup, I am questioning as to whether I should cancel my order for the Air 4 and wait. Primarily, i'm considering the fact that the price difference isn't that big when you are already paying that amount for the Air 4. If performance isn't a...

    Best Mac for Web Development

    I am an entrepreneur and web developer with an existing app in the cloud for 10 years running on a Linux server with PHP and MySQL (I'm self-taught, so have gaps in my knowledge). To date I've developed on a Windows machine (most recently a Surface Pro) using XAMPP to create a localhost. My...

    Two defective MBP with M1 in a row, now looking for configurations that work

    So I got a MBP with M1 and 16 GB unified memory and 1 TB SSD. After a few days the camera stopped working. I called support and followed some resetting procedures, including HW booting sequences, etc, it didn't work. I gauged my options and I opted for a replacement, which I was entitled to...

    Should I Return M1? Screen-tearing on LG5K & Bluetooth Issues

    Hi, I've been having a lot of issues with my M1 Mac mini unfortunately. The most of any Apple Product I've ever used! So I got the Mac mini (16GB/1TB) & the LG Ultrafine 5K for Christmas. I have 2 days left in my return window so I have to make my decision pretty quick. These are the issues I...

    How does M1 perform as a server?

    I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server? API/Web/Database/FTP/Email... etc? Traditionally speaking, service providers use our favorite flavor of Linux and load...

    Considering switching to M1 Mac Mini from 13" MBP 2018

    Hi, I am currently running a 2018 MBP 13" (TB Base with 8/256GB) and it's so sluggish it with an external display (even 1440p along with internal) with just 8GB of RAM. Planning to switch to a Mac mini M1 with 16GB as my laptop always runs docked at my desk all the time. I got a good deal from a...

    My Thoughts on Future Mac ARM Chips

    I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about a higher-end M-series chip used in the iMac, 16” MBP, etc. The problem is that most people are calling this the M2 chip, which I think is incredibly unlikely. The M1, despite its incredible performance, is Apple’s entry level, power-efficient chip. They’ll...

    M1 MBA Review from a noobie who feels like sharing

    Hey guys! I've been enjoying MRumors for years but this will be my first time posting anything. I picked up an M1 MacBook Air, configured with 16gb of ram (more on that overkill later) and 512gb SSD. Some background: I'm coming from a late 2011 MacBook Pro, so... yes. Literally anything would be...
