    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?

    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keeping the design the same with M1 and the first generation of Apple Silicon, but why did they keep the old, outdated design for M2?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...

    I have a 5K 27" iMac (2014) which I maxed out at purchase with a quad core Intel i7. It has 25GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. I also have an M1 MacBook pro with 16GB RAM and a 250GB HBB. Most of my storage is on iCloud Drive from both machines (which effectively mirror each other via iCloud drive) -...

Currently working in Monterey: M1 Macbook Pro -> OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock -> buncha stuff + Apple Cinema Display, ancient, with Mini Display Port. I know there are better monitors than...

    Is Apple’s new “Pro = Beefy” design language a mistake?

    After exclusively purchasing MacBook Pros, my next Mac is likely to be a MacBook Air — not because I want an Air, but because the MacBook Pro is too damn bulky. However, this “Pro = Beefy” design language is not relegated to the Apple Silicon MacBook Pros. The issue extends to the M1/M2 iPad...

    Macbook Pro M1 lagging while editing movie. What are my options?

    I'm super disappointed with my M1. I purchased with 512 gb and 16gm ram. My main goal is video editing and some graphic design (nothing super demanding). Even if my videos are simple from clips, the processor lags while working in IMOVIE. And that's on a clean fresh mac with nothing installed...

    would there be significant difference between 10Core CPU and 12 Core CPU?

    I am looking at the new MacBook Pros and there is a $450 price difference (CAD) if you pick 12 Core CPU and 19 Core GPU. Is this a significant improvement to justify the $450?

    Macbook Pro M2 14 Config Advice

    I'm about to upgrade to a new Macbook. I've tried the MBA M2 and whilst it's great I've found the screen is a bit too small for me. The MBP 14 seems like the right size (I've checked out the 16-inch version and it's a bit too big). I'd like to get some advice from the group on a good...

    Why does the macbook pro 13" m2 even exist?

    When the air costs exactly the same? Wouldn't it have made more sense for apple to release a single macbook laptop with fans in order to clearly seperate the pro 14"+ from the average consumer lines? If there was a macbook 13" with a fan I would buy it in a heartbeat but my only option is an...
