    My Hard Drive (HDD) Not SSD is APFS??

    Main Topic: Upon opening disk utility I noticed my internal hard drive (HDD not SSD)was seen as APFS formatted? Not sure if it has anything to do with my hard drive's poor performance but it really feels like the drive is on the verge of death and I don't know if I should just reformat the...

    Can't remove partitions on High Sierra 10.13.6

    Hello everyone. So, I need some help, I have these partitions created I suppose by installing bootcamp and stuff and I can't remove any of these. If anyone knows how to remove them please help XD. I really need a way to only have 1 solid disk instead of 5. The "-" sign does not work on any of them.

    eye tracking software

    My twin also has a muscle disease like me. I saw him using our big family iMac the other day. He can type fine, albeit slow, but the thing that slows him down is moving his hand over to the mouse and then back to the keyboard again. It was painful to watch. Are there products out there that can...

    Cant enter recovery mode anymore

    I wanted to restore my Mac. The guide I found said to go to recovery mode by holding command + r upon restarting, and in there to go to disc utility and then delete the drive. I did this, and then I closed the disk utility in order to select the option to restore macOS. However, when selecting...

    What to replace my late 2014 iMac with?

    My current Mac is an iMac 5K late 2014 model with 32GB of RAM & 3TB built-in Fusion drive. While it was under warranty, it suddenly had an overheating issue. After a few trips to the Apple store, it was fixed. They replaced the screen, thermal paste, and honestly, I don't recall what else...

    Resolved Flashing Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT (specifically the Firmware)

    This is an obscure card for the Power Mac G5, but I have heard of it being done and I know someone here did it by replacing the ROM, but I think I have heard of doing it without having to do that. I bought an unused 7800 GT with 256MB of video RAM. Ignoring I have no experience whatsoever with...

    I extensively benchmarked my 2018 Mac Mini+eGPU against my 2009 Mac Pro

    Hi there! It turns out keeping a 2009 Mac Pro running can be a lot of busy work (as 25 pages of people who can't read instructions will attest)- especially since I have a Geforce 1080 and modern NVIDIA cards are no-go in Mojave until further notice. So I figured it'd be a good time to get the...

    Bluetooth Speaker Disconnections

    Hi all, I usually hook my Mac up with a Sony HT-CT60BT soundbar via bluetooth. Since mOS 14, after about 5 seconds the speakers auto-disconnect from my mid-2014 rMBP and need to be reconnected again. They work as normal after that. That happens every single time I connect them. I've deleted the...

    So I want to upgrade my Mac Pro 5,1 that has been using the same Radeon HD 5870 for 8-9 years now since the fan seems to be making a strange noise. I was searching on the boards and I saw the Sapphire Mac edition of the Radeon HD 7950 Mac edition. This card seems to be sold out everywhere. I...

    Intersted in Classic Mac Pro

    This is probably sort of a weird one... I have always loved the design of the classic Mac Pro and have wanted one for a while because of that. I'm an industrial design geek and just love how the Mac Pro looks and is constructed. So, I'm considering buying one. I don't have a specific use case...
