    Wiping my MBP

    I have Apple Care and I want to wipe my dud of MBP before I take it on in case they keep it. Dumb question but will everything I have on it be backed up in iCloud or do I need to save it elsewhere. Like I have some movies in downloads etc. Also - how do I wipe it? Restore to factory...

    Late-2011 R8911 value

    Long time reader, first time poster. I've been diving down the rabbit hole of ways to make my old Late 2011 Macbook Pro useful. I had it running on Ubuntu 20.04 before the dGPU did what the dGPU's do on these machines, and I got something else. It went into storage for a while until I pulled it...

    MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 /Sierra) to Mac Studio-best way to migrate?

    Any experts in migrating from an ancient MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 with Sierra OS....) into Mac Studio (current)? What will be the best way? Can I use the Migration Assistance even though the old MacBook Pro is on Sierra? Would my MacBook Pro backup work? Shall I just copy my documents and...

    MacBook Air 2017 vs MacBook Pro 2015: Which one to choose?

    I will be buying my first MacBook. But, I am on a tight budget. 2 MacBooks are in my range. One is MacBook Air 2017 i5 13inch vs MacBook Pro 2015 i5 13 inch. I am an undergrad computer science student. I primarily need a laptop for programming. Which one would be a wiser choice overall?

    MacBook Pro 2019 13 inch random shut off (Probably kernel panic)

    So I have a MacBook Pro 2019 13 inch, at the moment it doesn't have macOS on it. Trying to run Internet Recovery gives the prompt: "A software update is required to use this startup disk". Clicking on Update after that just shuts it down and makes it restart. I have already tried several macOS...

    Got water under the screen of my MacBook Pro 14”

    Hey there! Today there was a big storm with rain I’ve never seen before. The streets were POOLS of water and there was a mini tornado reported. I was coming home from my classes and my MacBook Pro 14” M1 Pro was in my bag which is kind of water resistant. When I opened the bag, my MacBook...

    Difficult decision: Should I try to "refurbish" my own MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well. However, I've quit my (gamedev-)job recently to pursue creating games on my own. For this, I am going to live off of my savings for at...

    Dislpay takes a minute to wake

    I recently restored my MacBook Pro (13inch, 2017, 4TB ports) to set it up as new and now the screen takes between 30 and 60 seconds to wake when woken up in any way. Does someone know why this happens and how to fix it? The keyboard lights up, the trackpad clicks, but the Touch Bar and Screen...

    MacBook Pro on top of Apple Leather Sleeve

    I’m keeping my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro… FOREVER!!

    Yep, that’s right. I’ve purchased my fair share of Macs for myself and my family over the last 10 years And have been very happy with every purchase. Every machine has lasted for at least 5 years, most longer than that before trading them in for newer models. And in the last 2 years I started...

    M1 16" MBP w/ 65w monitor - OK?

    I've got a M1 16" MBP that I currently use with the Dell S2722QC monitor. I like to minimize the number of wires on my desk so I only have the monitor plugged into my laptop. However, it just occurred to me that the monitor I use provides 65w. Is this a problem? Will it damage my MBP battery?

    2010 MacBook Pro "Retina Display"

    I'll start by saying that this "hack" is not for everyone. It is certainly not elegant, and for people who need to move their laptops around often it might not be practical. But, if you have an older Unibody MacBook Pro and feel like it has plenty of life left in it, then read on. Also, if...
