    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...

    MS Word - Thai Text Formatted Poorly on M1 iMac but OK on M3 MBA

    My wife is a Thai attorney who frequently has to prepare court documents in a particular format. Until recently she used LibreOffice to create reasonable facsimiles of the court forms on her own. However, this proved to be tedious and time consuming so she purchased a package of court document...

    iMac (M1, 2021) Display Issue

    My M1 2021 iMac's screen is acting weird. The lower part of the screen is flickering since past few days. Please refer the attachments. Any idea what might be the reason. Hardware or software issue? I don't have AppleCare+ coverage either; so, looking for an affordable solution to fix this...

    Intel MBA Keychain/Password Woes

    My wife has a 2017 MBA still running Catalina (10.15.7 - Yeah, I know). Recently she's had a couple of odd password problems that I think are keychain related: • The machine keeps "forgetting" WiFi passwords. When I check the keychain on her machine, there is no entry for the SSID she's trying...

    Apple must love choppy/stuttery/jittery visuals

    Something has bugged me ever since I took the plunge on an iMac... $1900 M1 iMac - constant jitters, stutters, and animations played back at an ugly low framerate. Not intense animations, mind you, simple things like scrolling and window re-sizing. Constant sluggish input response and lag. A...

    Late 2013 intel i5 iMac to M1 iMac upgrade worth it?

    I have a late 2013 intel i5 iMac with 8gb Ram and Nvidia GeForce GT 750m 1024mb graphics card. Will a new M1 iMac with 8 core GPU be better and faster including editing video at 4K?

    iMac M1 anti glare coating on the whole panel?

    I was wondering of Apple already made it known what kind of anti glare coating they used for the new iMacs? Personally I don't really notice a difference between my M1 or my 2009 one. And next to that I wonder if the coating is on the whole glass panel or only the 'screen part'? I noticed the...

    M1 iMac: Keyboard and Trackpad Occasionally Stop Responding (But It's Weirder Than That)

    Hey there! Weird M1 iMac issue I've been encountering intermittently and unpredictably for months now. Once in a while — sometimes twice in one day, sometimes five weeks apart — the system will suddenly stop accepting keystrokes and mouse clicks. But it's actually a bit more complicated than...

    Upgrade now or try and wait.

    I current have a Late 2015 27 inch iMac with the 3.3ghz Core i5, 24gb of ram and 2TB fusion. I want to upgrade it since I am working remote now and my workloads are starting to push it where it’s showing its age. I do have a 4K 27 inch monitor as a second display which I desperately need. I am...

    How do you see what Bluetooth version a connected device is?

    So I'm having trouble deciding which Magic Trackpad to get, the Magic Trackpad 2 or the 2021 version. It seems most differences are superficial like a slight aesthetic redesign to match the M1 iMacs better and a different cable in the box. But what I really want to know is whether the 2021 has...

    M1 iMac backlight issue?

    I've been using my M1 iMac for a couple weeks now and I've noticed what appears to be grey 'patches' on the screen when viewing white or light colours. It's especially noticeable when swiping between safari pages or when moving between two full-screen apps for example, and there's a vertical...

    M1 iMac 7 core GPU + 16GB ram or 8 core GPU + 8GB ram

    Hello guys, my budget is only allow me to choose between on of them and I'm looking for advice and opinion. I mainly will use this machine for photoshop work. The PSD file I work on usually around 700mb - 1.5gb , with occasionally over 2gb. I won't be using it for gaming. Won't be doing video...

    2021 M1 iMac Bluetooth Issues

    Just got home from the local Apple Store. I'm setting up my new M1 iMac (again) and I am now having issues with Bluetooth. The keyboard is slow to respond unless it is plugged directly in via Lightning <> USB-C. Is anyone else having Bluetooth keyboard issues with their new M1 iMac?

    M1 iMac Reboots / Graphics Glitch

    Since setting up my new M1 8C CPU 8C GPU iMac on Saturday, twice now in the last 4 days, the machine has just kind of "freaked out." The first time I was in the middle of a document and the screen went black and the mac rebooted. The second time the screen went all purple (magenta) and then...

    27" and 24" iMac Size Comparison

    First post on the forums so I apologize if it's in the wrong area. Decided to upgrade from my 2012 27" iMac to the 24" iMac and so far I haven't missed the extra screen real estate. Over the 9 years my use case has changed for a desktop so I no longer need such a big screen. I'm really...

    m1 iMac. my only complaint

    I've had my brand new M1 iMac all day today and using it tonight. My only major complaint is it really needs a backlit keyboard. Looks like I have to find a replacement down the road. It will have to have touch ID, which is great.
