    The monitor screen turns off, and charging stops when charging MacBook.

    Hi all, I'm using MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro). Last night, when I went to the cafe to get some work done after work, I saw that my MacBook charge was 38%. Actually, I had charged the device the previous day, but I thought I might not have charged enough, and some of the remaining charges may have...

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on a sturdy brushed aluminum-look MacBook Pro 14" stand.

    Battery Life Is Horrible - Macbook Pro

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2018, i7 with 16gb of RAM. The Macbook is in excellent condition, but the battery life is so poor. I've sat here monitoring for hours in total and I've come to the conclusion that the battery drops about 1% every 2-3 minutes, which is beyond poor performance...

    My downgrade to Mojave experience on the 2019 macbook pro 15 (i9)

    (reposted from my blog) Older versions of macOS run much smoother, even when just idling ! My 2019 macbook pro 15 felt a bit sluggish with macOS 12.6.3 Monterey, and had overheating problems whenever it did something a bit more complex then browsing the internet. (Sometimes not even that...

    2012 MBP rubber bezel damage, any solution?

    It seems rather difficult to find a nice example of this model at a sensible price, I have found a suitable one but with rubber damage above the camera, I’m sure it’s not the first one like this and I was wondering if anyone has come across this and found a solution or a workaround?

    Here's proof that Apple makes your life miserable with poor display management and doesn't do anything about it.

    There’s no denying the impact that Apple has had in computer technology for the past 40 years. And macOS is in most aspects, the best operating system available today, and it keeps getting better. At the same time, Macs are at a point in time where they are incredibly fast thanks to the M1 and...

    Touch ID won't wake Mac after Ventura 13.3 update

    I am using a 2023 16-inch M2 Max MacBook Pro. I keep my Mac plugged in with the lid open on my desk. When it's asleep, I used to be able to simply rest my finger on the Touch ID sensor and without even pressing down on the key, it would wake up and unlock my Mac. Since upgrading to Ventura...

    battery lasts longer?

    Is it true that when the M1 16" MBPro is constantly used while being connected to the power outlet, it will not use its battery, therefore the battery will last longer?

    Sleeping MacBook Pro in Sleeve

    Is it okay to keep my sleeping MacBook Pro (16-inch M2 Max) inside a carrying sleeve? Will my MacBook Pro overheat? Does my MacBook Pro need to breathe when it is sleeping with the lid closed? I guess it would be safer to shut it down first, but that’s a bit inconvenient.

    Speaker Recommendation for MacBook Pro on a Desk

    I have a 13 inch 2020 M1 MacBook Pro that I have been using a 20 year-old set of Harman Kardon Soundsticks (USB-connected) with that have been working wonderfully. However, age has finally caught up to the speakers and the rubber membranes surrounding the speakers mounted in the 2 satellite...

    Macpostfactor boot loop creating recovery

    I'm trying to install Mountain Lion using MacPostFactor on my MBP2,2. Whenever I try to boot into it, it brings up a window that says "Creating MacPostFactor recovery (small)" then it reboots after about 15 seconds. It boot loops and does this repeatedly. Is there a way I can bypass this or fix...

    Buying 16" M2 Macbook Pro - Do I upgrade GPU/RAM?

    I do a lot of video editing - music videos mostly. All in 1080p, I might make the transition to 4k but that's not quite in demand by my clients just yet. Just to be clear, I'm getting the 1TB HD so that's not what is in question here. I'm curious if the base 19-core GPU/16GB RAM will suffice...

    Battery Fast Degradation - MacBook Pro 14 M1 (2021)

    I don't think this is normal, it's a little shy of 300 charge cycle, and it's already around 82-85% capacity. Any thoughts on this?

    MacBook automatically reinstalling macOS after normal Restart - HELP!

    Facing quite possibly the most peculiar issue I’ve ever had with an Apple product. I have an old Early 2015 13” MBP that has admittedly seen better days. I’m going to be upgrading in June so i’m just hoping to make this one cross the finish line then. Occasionally when this old laptop gets...

    Why hasn't Apple updated the 13" MacBook Pro?

    Apple hasn't truly update the 13" model of the MacBook Pro since 2016, over 6 years ago, adding only the Touch Bar in 2018. I understand keeping the design the same with M1 and the first generation of Apple Silicon, but why did they keep the old, outdated design for M2? It seems to me like the...
