    Macbook Air running out of storage

    Hello, For the past month or so, my Macbook has been bombarding me with "running out of space" messages. I have read countless articles and forums, but I still have not solved the issue. System takes up 90 GB of my 120 GB. I tried downloading DaisyDisk and OmniDiskSweeper, but they only show...

    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...

    iPad Pro Im so sad right now. Might sell my ipad pro 12.9 inch

    2 years ago I bought the 2nd gen 12.9 inch ipad pro. I love that tablet so much! Back then when I was still in med school I decided to go with just an ipad with no laptop. It was doable and I can do all my paperworks which just consists of mostly MS Word files and PDF files. Now that I’m a...

    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.

    i love my MacBook Pro, but my only frustration is battery life. I feel like it doesn’t last long enough, so I have been considering buying a new one. Is it worth it switching to a MacBook Air?

    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?

    From everything I have been reading about Ice Lake over the last few months, it stands that the MBA might be one of the biggest beneficiaries in Apple’s notebook lineup from Ice Lake. What can we reasonably expect from Ice Lake, other than LPDDR4 RAM support and it’s 11th gen iGPU sporting over...

    No updates available ??

    I have a MacBookAir (2015) running El Capitan. When I search for updates the App Store screen says “no updates available.” On another MBAir (2012) running Sierra, the AppStore screen offers High Sierra. Why would the newer model be unable to update?

    MacBook Air Charger Port Not Working?

    I would like to preface this by stating that this a 2013 MacBook Air with the MagSafe 2 connector. For quite some time, I'd say for a couple of years or so, that my charger port hasn't been able to connect my charging cable completely. It seems as though the magnets are wearing down but I can't...

    Can schools look at your past facetime calls?

    I heard from somewhere that your calls are recorded on school laptops and schools can go back and watch them. I personally don't believe this is true but I want confirmation. Is this true?
