    2012 Macbook Air Speakers not working

    Hi, I recently bought a second hand macbook air, and for the most part, the speakers don't work, although I have on occasion been able to get them to work, once after I reset the OS and another after I played around with ending audio processes within the activity monitor. I also tried installing...

    MacBook air black screen after OS reinstall

    Was given to me by a friend so thought I would format the harddrive but guess I deleted the whole OS? The hardrive would not allow for reinstallation so I created a bootable USB to do it. After booting up I get nothing but a black screen (backlight is on) I cannot use any hotkeys to access the...

    Why doesn't 2018+ MacBook Pro have a 1080p FaceTime HD camera?

    The iMac Pro was released in December 2017 with a 1080p FaceTime HD camera.

The iMac Pro also have the T2 chip, the 2018 MacBook Pro was updated with the T2 chip...

    Macbook Air 2008 (1,1) - what macOS?

    Hello everyone, what macOS can I put on this Macbook Air? It’s the first one, the 13”. I see on dosdude1 website that I can’t even put Sierra on it and I was wondering why. This macbook air has 32 bit EFI but with a 64 bit processor so it should support somehow newer OS. Any input is highly...

    Macbook Air running out of storage

    MacBook Air (mid-2012) to 12" MacBook (2017) = upgrade?

    I have a mid-2012 1.8ghz i5 MacBook Air with 128gb storage. I use it lightly for web browsing and emails. The £800 m3 MacBook deal in the UK has me tempted for the screen upgrade alone (plus battery and 256gb storage). However, will I see any overall speed/performance upgrade? Has anyone else...

    How to sell liquid damaged MacBook Air

    Hi. I have water damage on my 13" MacBook Air. When I went to Apple, of course the cost to fix it is more than the cost of a new one. I want to sell it on eBay, but I have no idea how to go about it. I never sold anything on eBay before and I heard about scammers. I want to avoid them. My...

    Macbook Air Early 2015 - Long Sintech + Sabrent 1TB crash on wakeup

    Hello, I recently upgraded my 128GB early 2015 macbook air SSD to sabrent 1 TB. So far I've installed mojave twice (fresh).

    My brand new MacBook Air 2018 has that rattle sound from the display when tilted.

    Anyone else? This is what it sounds like when you shake it: When you just tilt it the sound is much quieter.

    Resolved Assistance on if Sierra is compatible with these requirements.

    I'm currently debating on whether to download an old game with mixed reviews when running on iOS. I'm wondering if compatibility will be an issue due to the age of the game compared to other, newer games I have downloaded. I currently have a 2015 MacBook Air with 10.12.6 Sierra.

    2017 MBA, reduce amount of shared video RAM?

    I have a 13" 2017 MacBook Air (with Intel HD Graphics 6000) and it's allocating 1.5GB of my main memory for the integrated GPU. It's far more VRAM than I ever need/use, and I would prefer if I could somehow reduce the amount by perhaps 0.5GB or even more as I regularly run into RAM shortage...

    2019 Ice Lake MBA?

What can we reasonably expect from Ice Lake, other than LPDDR4 RAM support and it’s 11th gen iGPU sporting over...
