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

    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...

    Hi, So I have to use a work laptop for my job. It’s a Surface laptop 3. I’m also buying a new Mac Mini soon (when/if they upgrade it). So I want to use both machines with the Studio Display. The surface only has USB-C output, but that’s fine.. I think. Honestly, if it only runs in 1440p mode...

    Apple TV can't access shared content on Mac Mini suddenly.

    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...

    In my office we have been running a 2012 Mac mini for years as our file server for all our studio files, to which 4 Macs connect via SMB. It's been running Mac OS Sierra for the last few years since Apple removed the server software from newer versions of Mac OS, and the file sharing on the...

    Can you use an old iMac as a monitor for a newer Mac Mini? A client was throwing away an old 27" iMac. He gave it to me instead. I believe it's a mid 2011 model. His repair guy said the logic board is shot & it's trash but it looks brand new physically. The power light comes on, the screen...

    So, Who is going to make the first mount for Mac Mini/Studio for Studio Display to make it look like an iMac?

    Actually I was expecting to see such a mount already but seems like nobody came up with a product yet. Even from 3D geeks. Would you use that kind of mount to hang your Mac Mini/Studio at the back of the Studio Display? Mac Studio might be harder to do due its uneven weight distribution and...
