    Macbook MB062LL/A not booting from usb

    Yes, I know how old this macbook is. I just want to install macos el capitan on it (the drive js wiped.) I don't have another Mac, so I'm trying to make a bootable usb from my windows pc. So far TransMac and converting DMG to ISO hasn't worked at all. Any ideas?

    Do you also agree that MacOS quality has been on a downhill lately?

    Ever since Catalina I feel like MacOS quality control is declining. I am currently on Ventura in my personal MBP16 and using Monterrey on my work laptop, the amount of glitches in both versions is incredible, there is also quite a lot of mismatching UI elements. Releases come and go and problems...

    Anyone else have a larger user icon after updating to 12.5.1?

    I installed the 12.5.1 update and I've noticed that my User icon (that's shown above the password field at startup or waking from sleep) seems much larger now. Before, the diameter was about an inch wide on screen, but now it seems more like 1.5 inches. Anyone else getting this? If so, have...

    I have to reluctantly conclude: macOS Monterey is a horrible product, quality-wise

    I have been a macOS user since the first appearance of MacOS X. After the initial start, macOS became a platform that I loved not just for the experience, but for its stability and performance. I would easily have a laptop running for many months without single reboot and without problems. I am...

    Cooling System in a M1 Pro, how it works in clamshell mode?

    How works the cooling system (fans) in a MacBook Pro 14" in clamshell mode? When the screen is open the hot air comes out from the bottom of the screen. So, i was wondering how it works and if it affects the cooling when the fans are in use in clamshell mode?

    OS X The future of Mac gaming is bright

    I’m writing this post on a decade-old 13-inch MacBook Pro with absolutely miserable graphics hardware that was miserable the day this computer was manufactured. It used to be that the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a very popular computer in the heyday of this particular model, was abysmal as a gaming...

    Safari always using significant energy. How to fix this?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM. Whenever I work on safari my battery stats always show that it is using significant energy even if only a single tab is open. Is it normal or something I should be worried about?

    default browser based on focus mode

    Hello, I figure this might be a good place to ask, but does anyone know if there's a way to automatically switch the default browser based on current focus mode? For work, I'm required to use Chrome, but prefer Safari for my personal use. It would be great if, during office hours, I could have...

    The best Mac OS X / macOS (2022)

    Ok, I can't find a modern Poll... so just for the thrill, time to vote on your favourite Apple Desktop Unix Operating. Sorry about not including all the early versions (shoot me if you like), but imho Snow Leopard easily beats anything before it. Multiple choices allowed.

    Drag a window with gesture?

    The space where a window is draggable (=basically empty space in menubar) seems to have shrunken for years now. I like how window title bars and menubars have been merged over the years to make better use of the vertical screen estate. But tbh I feel this makes it challenging at times to find a...

    macOS Restoring Bash and Python 2.7 on Monterey a good idea?

    Many years ago I taught myself some Bash and Python and wrote a couple of scripts which I still use all the time for work. So far this hasn't been a problem as I was still using Sierra on my old Mac. But now I just got a new Mac Studio running Monterey, which seems to have ditched both Bash and...
