    cannot get past internet recovery

    Recently my macbook air froze, so I turned it off then back on. This had always worked for me in the past. However, this last time when I turned my computer back on I got a flashing folder with a question mark. Using my windows computer I went to the apple support website and followed their...

    Macbook Air M1 Heating Badly

    I recently got a hand me down from someone who hasn't used this MacBook that much so they just gave it to me instead. My problem is, it gets really hot in the part between the MacBook Air logo and bar in the middle + the top half of the MacBook on the bottom of it. It's an issue for me because...

    MacBook Air Dual Monitor Setup

    I am connecting two Samsung 24” monitors (CF24F390) to a new MacBook Air M2. One monitor is connected through an HDMI to a USBC hub and the second monitor is connected through a Wavlink HDMI to USB adapter then to the USBC hub. But finding the text is very pixelated. I have played with the...

    M2 SSD Speeds

    Is the slower speed of the M2 Air 256GB SSD a noticeable difference in day to day use for non-heavy users? I'm thinking of picking up a MacBook Air, currently deciding between the M1 and the M2 air. I have a windows desktop machine for heavy use, so I don't need a whole lot of power. MBA would...

    MacBook Air M2 | Connecting two monitors

    I am wondering what sort of adapters are needed to connect a MacBook Air to two monitors. I understand that there are some expensive docking stations available for $200+, but looking for a more economical solution. Right now I have a basic USB C Hub for my 2019 MacBook Pro that easily connects...

    Considering a new Macbook for using with Logic Pro X - need options..

    Hello, I currently have an old 2012 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB & 500GB SSD running MacOS Monterey OCLP. Also have a 2008 MBP but this is ancient and can no longer tollerate Logic! However Logic often gives me spinning beachballs which are a pain. I am not 100% sure I can afford an M1 Macbook...

    iOS 16 device backups: supported with macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) and newer!

    Whew - iOS releases have gotten to be quite a nail-biter time of year for me with my ol' macOS 10.13 High Sierra! Glad to see those of us with macOS 10.11+ still have the ability to backup our phones with the shiny new iOS version.

    The M2 MacBook Air Doesn't Look So Modern Now

    Just a couple months after everyone raved about how modern the new MBA looks, Apple introduces the Dynamic Island, instantly making devices with the notch look old and outdated. Kinda funny that they introduced the new MBA with a design they knew was on its way out...

    I think I've found the best way to remove the notch on MacBooks

    I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

    Will the M2 MBA work with this 40'' LG UltraWide?

    I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to monitors and the computer specs needed and I see some complaints or horror stories of people trying to get Macs working properly with different resolutions and monitors so I'm nervous about what to buy. The IT guy at work is going to get one of these for us...

    [SOLVED] Apple Arcade on M2 Macbook Air, bluetooth stuttering.

    Hello everyone, I received my M2 MBA, I'm really impressed by its performance (coming from Intel MBP... ). I just experienced something strange that I can't explained. I paired with it my Sony WH-1000xm4 headphones, enabled AAC via the Terminal as I've done already on my previous machine...

    What MacBook Air Colors do you think/want to come?

    The big thing about the MacBook Air M2 is it’s new redesign, as much as the M2 chip is promoted, it’s not really what makes it interesting in comparison to the M1 model and other previous Airs( in my opinion), as the préformante upgrades are minimal in comparison to intel -> M1. Nonetheless, one...

    MacBook Air (Base M1, 2020) -> MacBook Air (Base M2, 2022) - Worth $300 to Upgrade?

    I currently own a base model MacBook Air (M1, 2020) and have the option to pay $300 to trade it in for a new MacBook Air (M2, 2022). I'm considering going for it based on the slightly larger screen, MagSafe, camera, and M2, but have also heard that the base model M2 is slower at SSD swap than...

    MacBook Air screen

    I was cleaning my Macbook Air, 2020 with a microfiber and in a second a part of my screen display goes off. The screen is not under warranty so I need to pay a huge cost. How is the screen so fragile that it can be damaged with a microfiber cloth???

    To Taper or Not to Taper?

    Should the MacBook Air be designed with a taper? It's iconic and a key element of the design. While more practical and perhaps more solid, thinner even, without the wedge-shaped design I can't help but miss it on the M2 MacBook Air not having owned a MacBook Air before. I envisioned owning a...

    Apple ditching MacBook webcam?

    This post is controversial, conspiratorial, and even perhaps improbable. :p That moment during the WWDC keynote when Craig gave the Continuity Camera demo, a quick flash went through my mind. This is how Apple's testing the waters to ditch the webcam in MacBooks. Sure, the demo was done on...

    Returning my M2 MBA for an M1

    I had such high hopes for the new M2 MBA, but unfortunately I just don't love it like I loved my M1 MBA... Now I'm trying to decide what to do! Last year I purchased a 16" M1 MBP as my main computer which is the best Mac I've ever owned. At the same time, I picked up a base model M1 MBA (for...

    M1 Macbook Air battery health dropping rapidly

    My M1 MBA about 11 months old now and I love it. However, I've recently noticed the battery health is rapidly starting to drop. It's dropped a 3% in the last two weeks, so it's at 97%. But that's only what system report tells me. Coconutbattery tells a different story, with the battery being at...

    Hi, I'm looking for a general purpose uni laptop to accompany my main desktop. I was thinking of getting the new M2 Air with 16 gb of ram , the only issue for me however is the drive size. I'm leaning towards 256 as looking at my current usage I realistically use 80-90 gb for everything...
