    Running windows through Parallels Powerapps

    Hi all, I'm considering purchasing a high-end MacBook Pro for my accounting business. Most of the applications I use run directly in a web browser, so there's no significant difference between Mac and Windows for those. However, I also plan to use PowerApps, particularly Power BI, from time to...

    Used 6 cycle M2 Max Macbook Pro or wait for M3 Max Used in Winter 2025

    I presently have a 2019 I9 Macbook Pro 32GB ram, 5500M 6GB GPU, 1TB SSD that is miserable to use. YouTube videos stutter when connected to my 3 4k/60hz displays. I program on it which is slightly more tolerable, but not the build times. I have the opportunity to buy a 6 battery cycle M2 Max...

    Will Mail.app continue to load emails/notifications if minimized by clicking either the red or yellow button (does make difference with red/yellow)?

    When minimized by clicking wither yellow/red button (still active on desktop), seems like mail.app does not load new messages or send notifications. Do you have to keep mail.app open present on desktop to load? Much appreciation for any replies/help!

    MacBook Pro Mic Input Level Always High

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping to see if anyone else has had this problem. Last time I was on a FaceTime call on my Mac, the person I was speaking to mentioned it was hard to hear me because it sounded like I was on a plane. Switched to my iPhone and issue was gone. It seems like the internal mic is...

    How to copy files in Finder without copying to iCloud?

    How to copy files in Finder without copying to iCloud? When I try to copy files to move or paste them somewhere else on the same Mac, I almost always get a pop-up on my nearby Mac and iPad saying they're copying the file across the network. While this is convenient sometimes, it also slows my...

    If you buy a used Mac that comes with fresh OS are you still wiping it?

    New 2012 Mac, come with Catalina and Sonoma. Looks like a solid machine. The seller put a fresh os on with the dual boot. Would there be any reason to be concerned? Would you just use it as is or do a fresh install?

    Do you think that macOS 15 will support Intel-based Mac

    As WWDC 2024 draws closer, we already have possible leaked lists of supported devices for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and watchOS 11. However, I wonder why there aren’t rumors about the compatibility of macOS 15. So, let’s speculate on which Mac computers will support the next major release. Do you think...

    How Does iCloud Optimized Storage Impact Media Transfers to Mac?

    Instead of storing all my media solely on iCloud, I regularly move my iPhone photos and videos to the Photos app on my Mac. If I have optimized storage activated, which replaces full-resolution media with smaller versions, I wonder if the transfer retrieves the originals from iCloud or the...

    I bought what I thought was a new, sealed 2021 M1 Pro 16" Macbook Pro with 32gb of ram and 2tb of storage on Swappa for $1700. What I received was an M1 Max instead of the M1 Pro (everything else the same). And it was indeed sealed but there are about 6 minor blemishes and scratches on the top...

    There are always these questions about Mac vs iPad (Pro) and I felt like sharing my experience. I decided to switch to iPad back in 2016 after the original (1st gen) iPad Pro hit the market. I ditched my 13” MacBook Pro and never looked back. I always used my private devices for work and...
