In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask...

Hello, Yesterday I made an experiment. I tried to put Core 2 Duo T7200 onto a MacBookPro1,1 820-1993 logic board in place of the original Core Duo T2500. The result is successful! In the future maybe I will try to put a faster CPU like T7600. It's the fastest Merom CPU available and Penryn...

I am attempting to repair my wife's Macbook Pro (A2251). I know that the RAM is bad and I was initially just getting ready to remove and reball the BGA chips. Upon initial inspection I realized that it looked like there were two resistors missing on the logic board (highlighted below). I...

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...

Hey all About 6 month ago my 1TB SSD in a 2015 retina MBP packed up, or at least so I thought. I am now on SSD 5 and none worked I also bought a second adaptor as I thought maybe the adaptor is faulty. Telling a friend, he thought that maybe the SSD I can buy now are newer versions of the...

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...

Hi all, We are trying to have our (big) company buy macs for developers so they can choose between pcs and macs but one problem is the lack of kensington locks on the macbook pros... We have seen some ports back on the macbook pros recently (hdmi, mag safe...), so why not a little hole for a...

Looking for input and advice on a MacBook Pro for photoshop. Thinking M1 Pro 16gb ram 1tb. Is that enough ram? Obviously cost is an issue too. Thanks.

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...

Hi everyone, I have an external wide screen monitor, a magic mouse and a magic keyboard. I also have two macbook pros, one for work and one for personal usage. When I start my day, I connect the monitor to my work mac, reset bluetooth and connect mouse and keyboard to my work mac. When I...

somehow i accidentally initiated SIRI on my macbook pro...OS 10.13.6 i was trying for the spotlight search, i thought the shortcut was Cmd-spacebar but instead the siri popup enters from top-right corner of screen with the little soft triple-beep and sometimes has the text "How can i help you?"...

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?

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...

I want to upgrade my 2014 macbook pro to another macbook pro next year (either 13" or 14") but there are two things stopping me now: The notch on the 14" and the touchbar on the 13". Do you think Apple will remove the touchbar from 13" too? since they removed it in the 14"? I dont know what...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, I have the opportunity to buy an Apple MacBook Pro Leather Sleeve (15-inch) for an acceptable price (they were very overpriced originally). I wanted to use the MacBook Pro on top of the sleeve occasionally. Knowing these Apple sleeves have indents in the leather on the bottom for the...

Hello guys, how's the new MacOS 13 on your MacBook Pro. Is the performance, and battery same as MacOS 12 or gotten better/worse in terms of speed and snappiness? Please state your Mac model. Thanks!

Can‘t even restore to Sierra for whatever reason, even was in talks with Fruit Guidance. Ridiculous. Sorry.
