    Mac Not Recognizing USB External Drives

    Basically, I have a MacBook Early 2015 (A1534) with no USB Inputs, only a USB-C input for power or USB-C to USB adapter. The weird thing is: Having the USB-C to USB adapter, my Macbook is recognizing USB sticks but NOT recognizing things like my iPhone, Pioneer Mixer, External Mouse - only...

    Macbook Pro 16 Sometimes restarts on wake by itself??

    Fairly often when my mac is closed in sleep mode, the system will restart itself rather than go straight to the login screen. This seems to be the issue from my log: 10:53:43.713836+0000 powerd SMC shutdown cause: 5: Software initiated shutdown 10:53:44.353228+0000 powerd hibmode=0...

    How to get used to 60Hz Displays again?

    Wanted to buy a MacBook Pro so I went to the store to try one out. I have a 144Hz Monitor at home so the 60Hz Monitor felt very stuttery and incredibly cheap to me. I like MacBooks in theory and would love to buy one but I can’t bring myself to spend a premium on something feeling dirt cheap to me.

    Two-Tone Poly Mac

    Wanted to share my latest project. I don't know if I love it or hate it, but I know it's been done before... Sort of. Basically, early 09 A1181 logic board was placed inside. In order to make it work, some light chassis modifications were made to the stand offs as well as nuts added to back of...

    LED Monitor Stand (Custom)

    Quick post here to show my custom monitor stand. I found a few online I liked, but none really matched my desk, so I had an old shelf in the basement that I repurposed into a monitor stand. I used wood screws and some rubber bushings from the hardware store and inserted them through some black...

    MacBook Pro 13’ 2017

    Top keys are making a weird clicking sound. Computer is not hot, it’s very cool. This is the first time this happens since I got it. Purchased about 13 months ago.

    2019 15" i9 throttles below base clock during final cut renders

    Is this normal behavior and just showing how incredibly optimized fcpx is? I was rendering out different clips to export and noticed my i9/16gb/512/560x couldn't sustain base clock speeds. I have background rendering turned off and fans set to full blast. Latest 10.4.8 installed.

    Is External NVME ssd fast enough for 4k editing?

    Sold my previous 5,1 Mac Pro to fund my 2019 MacBook Pro i9/16GB/512/560x in July to learn video editing with Final Cut Pro. I thought the 512GB base storage would be enough but found out after a few months that it wasn't. I still have my Crucial 1TB nvme from my Mac Pro, so I went and bought an...

    Holiday MacBook Woes.

    To make a long story short, I bought 3 2010 MacBooks for the kids as presents for the upcoming holiday (Christmas for us). It was the hardest thing to date so far. Okay, maybe that wasn't much of a description, so I'll elaborate. I've worked in the fire protection industry for almost a decade...

    Any suggestions for MacBook Pro 2017 alternative charging options?

    I have a 13" 2017 MacBook Pro (61W). It's a hassle for me not to have more than 1 charger, but buying Apple's adapter is pricey. Can anyone recommend a charging option that is cheaper but also that you're very very confident is safe for the machine and won't damage it or run down the battery...

    Deleted Macintosh HD

    Hello, I accidentally deleted the Macintosh HD as I was trying to erase the data on it because I just bought it from someone with their files still on it. Doing this I accidentally deleted the whole thing rather than just the files on it. I tried going into disk utility and creating a new file...

    Right-to-Repair Groups Don't Buy Apple’s Answers to Congress

    You are likely to spend more than 50 percent to repair if a certain part of your MBP is defective and soldered SSD into the logic board will force you to pay even more. https://www.wired.com/story/right-to-repair-apple-answers-congress/

    16” MBP is long overdue for the 120hz display

    It is undoubtedly clear that most of the newer device is on the verge of switching to display panel with higher refresh rate and it makes no sense for Apple to continue using subpar 60hz for its pro model. 😱

    Should this new MacBook Pro be returned?

    I ordered the base model MacBook Pro 13" with upgraded SSD and RAM about one week ago. I was starting to feel I maybe bought something of a lemon—seeing things like a spontaneous shutdown, a Safari keyboard shortcut only intermittently working, mute apparently toggling itself, occasional app...
