    Installing High Sierra on a flashed SSD that won't boot High Sierra

    So I bought a larger capacity SSD for my Macbook Pro 2015, but unfortunately it is flashed to only be able to boot Catalina or later. Try to install Mojave or earlier by clone off an external drive, it will fail to boot. I'd rather boot internally without having to swap out my SSD. I was...

    Should macOS 14 be an update like macOS Snow Leopard?

    Greetings! macOS .0 updates over the past couple of years have been pretty buggy lately. Last time we got an update that focused on bug fixes and improvements was Mac OS X Snow Leopard. It was (and kinda still is) considered the greatest macOS version to be made. Now that brings us to today...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 4,1 -> 5,1 shuts down after a few minutes

    What Else Could Be Preventing 100% Communication to the Networked Printer, Plugged on the PC?

    Hello Apple & Mac friends. What else or setting on both the Mac and PC (PCs, tested on more than one PC) could be preventing the Mac from communicating to the PC's printer. The Mac can mount the Public folders of the PC, no problem but the IP address must be known and that used to mount it (if...

    16" MacBook Pro Stuttering under iGPU

    Hi, I recently received a 16" MacBook Pro base model (i7 9750H, radeon 5300m 4gb, 16gb RAM) from my school and I've noticed that in a lot of use cases, especially Chrome, there is a lot of stuttering and lag while using the integrated intel UHD 630 GPU. This is frustrating as a student because I...

    How one Thunderbolt 4 port could support two 6K XDR

    I bought a Caldigit TS4, and the website show me it could run 2 XDR in 6K 60Hz over one TB4 cable. I understand M1 Pro / Max / Ultra can using DSC to do that, but I can't understand why 2019 MBP 16 with Navi Radeon Pro graphic card are unsupported, it also support DSC too. any way to explain that?

    Universal Control over USB

    Based on what Apple have stated here I would expect Universal Control to function over USB but it is not? 5 - iPad and Mac must not be sharing a mobile data and internet connection. To use over USB, you must trust your Mac on the iPad. macOS Monterey - New Features - Apple (UK) Is anyone else...

    Next Macs placeholders are right in front of us 2022-2023

    So, I believe the next Macs placeholders are already in the lineup right in front of our faces. #1 - the M1 MacBook Air at $999 is the placeholder for an M2 12-inch (12.2-12.4”) MacBook Air. Once stock is depleted of that enclosure (it’s the most popular Mac, so I’m sure the current production...

    M2 MacBook Air throttling is being vastly over-exaggerated

    From the evidence I've seen, I believe firmly that people are vastly overhyping the effects of the throttling in the M2 MacBook Air. The YouTube review I've seen so far with the most thorough benchmarks is Dave2D's, and he went so far as to say that "if you're someone that wants a very powerful...

    Hi all, After trying the iOS 16 developer beta for a couple days/weeks I decided it was time to go back to iOS 15, so I deleted the profile from my phone and started the resetting proces through my Macbook (do this once in a while to clean up the phone, never goes wrong). But before I did that...
