    Need to download a Mac OS Monterey DMG or ISO file

    Hello, I need to download a Mac OS Monterey DMG or ISO file so to be able to use with my VM software. So far I could only download a PKG file. Is there a way to convert this or is there a reliable source to directly download the OS on either ISO or DMG file ? Thank you in advance.

    New 2020 13” MacBook Pro M1 frequent kernel panics

    I bought a MBP m1 a few months ago and it restarted due to a kernel panic so I gave it to apple’s repair center. After a few weeks, they told me that it has been repaired. So I picked it up, but I left without testing my MBP thoroughly since I had to travel to a different country due to work. So...

    I am old school. I don’t think, I have ever updated any of my iPhones in the last 12 years over the air.

    iPad Fuse the ipad and MacBook Pro into one?

    I own a M1 MacBook Pro and 12.9“ iPad Pro. Being a digital illustrator, I primarily use the iPad for Procreate and handwriting notes. In my opinion, however, iPadOS is a feeble alternative to MacOS for everything else. Professional work, document editing and even navigation. Apps threaten to...

    Should macOS 14 be an update like macOS Snow Leopard?

    Greetings! macOS .0 updates over the past couple of years have been pretty buggy lately. Last time we got an update that focused on bug fixes and improvements was Mac OS X Snow Leopard. It was (and kinda still is) considered the greatest macOS version to be made. Now that brings us to today...
