    Anyone planning on getting a Mac Mini anytime soon (before the M2)?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been wanting to get a Mac Mini for a few months now. I DON’T NEED it (have an intel Macbook Pro), but would like a stationary set up while I keep my MacBook Pro elsewhere. Anyway, I’m wondering if anyone is planning on getting a Mac Mini soon, instead of waiting for the M2...

    Connecting Mac mini to Mac Pro

    Hello. I recently had to get a new Mac mini for some work projects. My beloved 2009 Mac Pro 5,1 is still my workhorse for music production, which is also part of my work. The MP has about 10 drives connected (internal & external USB - mechanical & SSD - some of these are for backups) and is...

    Difficult decision: Should I try to "refurbish" my own MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well. However, I've quit my (gamedev-)job recently to pursue creating games on my own. For this, I am going to live off of my savings for at...

    Windows Registry Editor : Disable BootCamp Apple Software Updates

    Hi all, very niche question. Sometimes apple releases software and driver updates for things such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and most recently trackpad precision for T2 chip models. My limited knowledge of the registry editor leads me to believe that these pop ups/updates/ install requests can be...

    Nobody’s Talking About the M2 Mac Mini

    With Gurman and others expecting new Macs as early as this month, a lot of attention has been focused towards the updated M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These will undeniably be the showstoppers of any possible event (or press releases), but I have a suspicion that if the Mac Mini is getting an...

    Mac Mini M1 and 2 x Dell U32Q19 - YPbPr issues

    Hi there, I recently got 2 x Dell U32Q19 and decided to hook them up to my Mac Mini M1 using USB-C to USB-C and HDMI to HDMI. At first it looked quite alright, however I noticed that the one connected with HDM seemed a bit more flurry. I figured that the input color format of the monitor was...

Wtf? Isn't the M1 pro supposed to...

    Does Photos on an external drive with iCloud turned on use boot drive storage?

    Hi all, I think my 2012 mini is on its last legs, (currently won't get past the boot screen), and I’m wondering how I'm going to transition from its 4tb ssd internal boot drive to the options available now from Apple. I use the mini as a photos backup point (amongst other things), with iCloud...

    So, I don't remember exactly when it happened, but for the past few months, I have had a problem getting my ATV to connect to my Mac Mini to play movies and other videos. Sometimes, infrequently, I can get it to see the content, and then sometimes it will actually play the content, and...

    Merge folders not working in Monterey

    I just got a new Mac Mini M1 and am using OS 12.4. The merge folders option isn't working, though. When I hold the option key on my (Apple) keyboard and drag the folder with the same name to a disk, it does not offer the option to merge, only "Stop" or "Replace". The folder I'm dragging has a...
