    Hello everyone! I have a 13" MacBook Pro from mid-2012 (2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 dual-core; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) and I'm undecided on which macOS will be best. As the last natively compatible version is Catalina - a now-discontinued software, with no more security updates and some...

    Time Machine Question

    I'm hoping to move some of my large video files off of my Mac SSD and onto an external SSD. My question is regarding the behavior of Time Machine. I keep my backups on a second SSD strictly for Time Machine, and I'm curious if my backed up files will remain on my Time Machine SSD after deleting...

    Time Machine not working: not enough space on the backup disk?

    I've had a Sandisk 500gb drive that I've used as a time machine backup drive for about 4 years. Recently, I upgraded to a 14" MBP w/ M1 Pro. Since using the new computer, Time Machine worked for some time then stopped working for some reason. It was also interesting that for a long time, I had...

    How's your battery life on PB Sonoma?

    Sonoma Public Beta is running smoothly and issue free for me, but I feel like maaaaybe the battery life took a hit on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16". I could be wrong, it could be just that I'm paying more attention to it. So, how is your battery life?

    Downgrade to previous MacOS saving data

    I foolishly believed Apple that Ventura is nice, so I upgraded not making time machine backup prior to that. Little did I know... Can't believe now how bad it is compared to Monterey! Now I simply want to get back to Monterey. I know how to do that, but I've got many custom settings and tweaks...

    Do you use Dark, Light or Auto mode ?

    I read somewhere that dark mode was by large the choice of smartphone users (over 80%!). I find this figure suspiciously very high. And it has me wonder how many people actually use dark mode on macOS. I wonder because each time Apple promote macOS or macOS Preview, they have nice light mode...

    Ideas for a redundant Mac mini

I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

    “The sampled color is not equal to the first color, this isn't an Apple logo boot image.”

    What does it mean when the installer said, “The sampled color is not equal to the first color, this isn't an Apple logo boot image” during install?
