    Is it possible to flash the 5,2 firmware onto a 4,1 MacBook?

    Hey, I have a 2008 4,1 black polycarbonate MacBook Core 2 Duo with 4gb of RAM and a 250gb SSD, and I wanted to ask if it’s possible to update the firmware to the 5,2 firmware, so it’s possible to install El Capitan on it. Would this even be possible? I would thank for every answer :3

    Pikify trouble :/

    So, I got a black MacBook 2,1 , It’s a nice laptop, nicer with 4 gigs of ram. Lion was disappointing, so I downloaded Pikify and put El Capitan on it, but that’s when this happened: El Capitan could not be installed: El Capitan is already installed. I tried rebooting and the same thing happened...

    Could MagSafe 4.0 include support for data?

    While I like the option for a fast charge and MagSafe's return, I feel that Apple missed the mark with MagSafe 3.0 by not including some basic data transfer options over MagSafe. Does anyone think that this could come at some point in the future, or does this not feel like a feature that would...

    MacBook Pro for music production

    Happy new Mac day! I am trying to determine the best configuration for my 14 in. Pro. Specifically, whether or not the jump from 8 to 10-core CPU is worth the extra 200. I mostly write electronic music, with a heavy focus on synthesizers and lots of DSP effects plug-ins. I am coming from a 2016...

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    It seems certain that FaceID will come to desktop Macs first, but considering the notch is here, how long do you think it will take for Apple's notebooks to get FaceID?

    How to wipe MacBook Air for resale?

    Pretty newbish question but I'm looking to sell my M1 MacBook Air and need to factory reset it. I assumed this would be a fairly straightforward process, but some of the guides I found online have caused controversy in the comments, so I thought I'd throw the question out here. Thanks!

    A Hypothetical: Would you prefer Apple abandon computers or mobile devices, if forced to choose?

    This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation? A recent thread questioning what seems like more hype over the upcoming MacBook event than the recent iPhone event made me curious about something. I have my own reasons why...

    Thick Singular Line on Screen

    I’ve attached a picture of the problem, there was a spill and I opened it up and cleaned it up. The colour of the line is washed out but when playing a game (heating it up) it changes until it goes away and then reappears darker. This process of changing happens slowly over 10-15 minutes. What...
