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...
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?
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.
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...
Hello.
I am in the process of trying to find an external Blu-Ray/DVD drive for my Dad's M1 MacBook Pro.
He will be using it primarily to watch Blu-Ray and DVD movies so playback is his focus as apposed to burning/writing.
I want to future proof it as much as possible and would be...

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...
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...
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...
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keeping the design the same with M1 and the first generation of Apple Silicon, but why did they keep the old, outdated design for M2?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) -...
I'm thinking about moving to Ventura from Monterey on my 16" M1 Macbook pro to use some Ventura only software. 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...
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...
I installed an app called Sketchy Bar on my computer, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the configuration shown in this picture, taken straight from the Sketchy Bar GitHub page. What commands should I put in, what colors to use, ect.
