    Messages not delivered from Mac mini

    Hello, I'm trying to send text messages from my Mac to someone without an iPhone. On my phone, the messages come through normally. On my Mac, however, the messages are out of sync, do not appear at all, and/or cannot be delivered. iPhone users can read my messages just fine. Any ideas?

    Mac Nano / Apple Pi

    Any chance at getting a Mac Nano now that they're switching to ARM chips? I'm thinking something along the lines of the Mac Mini dev kit, but with a much smaller enclosure. Basically take whatever current iPad Pro CPU, and put it in a tiny case with soldered RAM and SSD. No fan like Macs, and no...

    Jaguar Mac Mini Install, No Official Jaguar Compatible Mac Required

    After installation of this version of 10.2.7 directly on my Mac mini, I was able to boot into Jaguar. For some reason, on 10.2.7 the Mac mini would not mount any disk images. This is fixed by updating to 10.2.8. To install the 10.2.8 combo update I installed it to the Jaguar partition from my...

    Recently moved into a new place with my partner and while I'm a :apple: addict she'd rather I don't infest the vibe of the whole house with tech.

    Mac Mini Late 2012 - SSD or RAM upgrade?

    Hey everyone! I recently acquired a Mac Mini — the late 2012 model. It's up and running, but it's fairly slow, and I'm certain that its performance is related to the slow 500 GB HDD it came with. The hard drive is mechanical, and so I'm thinking of either upgrading the RAM (4GB) or the hard...
