Hello All, As a long time user and big fan of the Apple Mac Mini systems, I was really excited to try the new Apple M1 Mac Mini. I received the new Mac a few days ago, so here is my initial impression. Existing System: 2018 i5 6-Core Mac Mini, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, 1440p Monitor (I use...

I'm helping a friend of mine revise his IT resume. My friend's computer experience is mostly with Macs. I'm not a Mac user so I'm wondering what are the best Mac skills to list on an IT resume?

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.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if an M1 owner could test out if GZDoom is able to run under Rosetta 2. GZDoom is a free x86 OpenGL source port for the original Doom (1993). You can download it from here: https://zdoom.org/downloads In order to get Doom running with GZDoom, you'll also need...

I have an unusual opportunity to purchase a Mac through work since they found out I can do video creation, and some graphic design work. I’m creating a handful of educational panels, stickers, pamphlets along with a dozen educational videos every year - or will be expected to. I’m currently...

I bought an iMac with Os X El Capitan. I tried to reinstall the OS but i came up with an error upon signing in with apple id. **Sample of error attached** I don’t know the original apple id used in here. Is there any way i can install the os without asking for the apple id? Thank you.

I tried to reset my macbook. But when I try to reinstall it. I encountered an error in the apple id section. I sent this laptop to a service provider years ago so they’re the ones who installed the os. So I’m not really sure what did they do. I tried to do the bootable usb but it does not show...

Did Apple make the HomePod Mini with USB-C so it could also plug into a Mac? I'm just wondering, could there be some feature advantages to doing that? I find the USB-C connection w/ separate power block an odd choice for a device that is intended to just sit and remain in one spot for the...

Hi ! I've got an issue with my 2015 retina macbook (the one port boys), that doesn't want to charge its battery anymore. It just started saying "battery is not charging" a few days ago, but it will take power from the charger because the battery levels are also not depleting (or extremely...

Hello all readers, I am new here to MacRumours forum. I have been a faithfull mac-user for years. I am posting this thread here, in hope to find a solution to a persisting problem i can't seem to get rid of. I have been with a screen "problem" on my new Macbook pro 2019 (catlina) and on my...

Hi all. Getting ready to upgrade my laptop following this week's Apple Event. I use my laptop for mostly basic tasks except for Final Cut X. I'm an amateur content creator, working mostly with video shot on the iPhone and doing simple edits in FCX. I am beginning to step up my FCX game though...

Sorry if I'm dumb, but Apple silicon is ,according to rumors, supposed to be more power efficient generate less heat but also more powerful (a14x better than core i9?) and also be cheaper. Then why has x86 ever become popular/the standard if Apple silicon/Arm is, I guess, better in every way?

Hi, I'm a long-time iOS developer and worked on popular apps like Fantastical before. Now I released a new app of my own on the App Store. It's yet another Sudoku app, but with some really cool features, no annoying ads and a pretty sleek UI. It supports regular Sudoku and also Killer Sudoku...

Hi everyone! As I wrote on the title I hear no sound from my mac. If I go to System Preferences -> Sound I cant see any audio driver. I should visualize the internal speakers instead. Im not totally sure but the problem is probably begun once I've tried to install soundflower even though now...

Hello! I'm new to Obj-C and I need to communicate to a NSCustomView (NSView) a change an integer var and refresh the content of the custom view... Any idea? I'm using XIB interface... Thanks

For those that think that the mac doesn't need antivirus, you can stop reading now. ;) For everyone else, I am using Catalina and I am growing tired of kernel panics from Norton which still uses kernel extensions. There has got to be a better way. Malwarebytes seems to work, but I am not...

It seems like the first set of ARM macs will be MacBooks. With Apple saying the transition period will take around 2-3 years, when can we expect an ARM Mac Mini? They seem to have neglected it and it is due for an update having only 8th gen CPU atm. Only other current mac with 8th gen CPU is...

Hello ... I'm very new to Mac... I had an user on my mac which I changed (just the name of it), then subsequently it led me to change the whole Apple id, so I went on to having a brand new everything after entering some info about birthdays and all that stuff. After doing all this, I pulled up...

So my cats knocked over my closed laptop. It’s worked just fine afterwards. No crack on the screen. However it’s gone completely black. It powers on and the apple on the back still lights up. The screen will display randomly and work like normal but quickly go black again. Is there hope for my...
