    Hi guys, I have installed Windows on my MacBook (Mid 2014 Pro) before, and had no problems. I decided to completely wipe my Windows install since I wanted a fresh copy installing, but now when I try to re-install with Boot Camp Asssistant, it reboots, shows the Windows logo, goes black, and...

    How do I sync photos to iCloud, while maintaining a local copy?

    I've tried switching off 'optimize mac storage', which from what I understood, would mean photos are stored locally and on iCloud - however photos appear to download from iCloud everytime I want to access them, making it really slow. I like having the automatic syncing/backing up to iCloud, but...

    My Thoughts on Future Mac ARM Chips

    I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about a higher-end M-series chip used in the iMac, 16” MBP, etc. The problem is that most people are calling this the M2 chip, which I think is incredibly unlikely. The M1, despite its incredible performance, is Apple’s entry level, power-efficient chip. They’ll...

    M1 Mac mini / Pink squares appeared on monitor

    Has anyone experienced this issue? First time seeing it since I received my Mac mini last Tuesday. The pink squares showed up after booting the computer and would only appear when opening a folder or doing a right click on the desktop. I then changed the wallpaper and they instantly disappeared.
