    MBA 2015 turns on only with SMC reset after being shut down...

    This last week, my Macbook Air Early 2015 didn't respond to the power button for the first time. It took a 15 minute battle with the power button. After that, whenever I shut down my notebook, I had the same problem. The power button didn't answer and the screen was wholly black, so I learned...

    How many unpowered USB devices can my mid-2012 MacBook Pro handle?

    Greetings all, I am an amateur producer and I mix and master wherever I am at the moment many times. I had a USB hub (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TPMEOYM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_e-WZDb5TYSMNG) running into one USB port and my Scarlett 2i2 in the other. In the hub, I would have my iLok and a...

    MP 1,1-5,1 EVGA PowerLink pin connectors

    My current setup is a MacPro5,1 with a GTX Titan X (6+8 pin). Currently using a 6-to-8 pin adapter for the 8 pin input on the card. Would I need to pick up another 6-to-8 pin adapter since the EVGA PowerLink has dual 8 pin inputs?

    Do you own a Talos II?

    I believe the PowerPC community needs no introduction regarding the brilliant Talos II, Talos II Lite, Blackbird and the upcoming Condor product lines by Raptor. Knowing these computers being insanely high-performant, cost-competitive, privacy-respecting and completely blob-free (unless we count...

    How do I find out MBP 2014 power?

    I've got to report the electrician rMBP 2014 power so he calculates what automatic breaker I can afford. I've heard the unit for power is watts (W). I've also heard outside my country the power is measured in A. https://support.apple.com doesn't state anything like this but MagSafe 2 specs...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Power Conditioner

    Random question. I recently moved into a new house that was built a long long time ago. (Zillow says 1900, but I don't know). So the house has older wiring, not sure if it's dirty yet... However, Do we need a power conditioner on our systems? Would a UPS do the same thing? If so how many watts...

    Buy The 18w or 30w USB-C Power Adapter?

    So having a hard time deciding which adapter to buy for my Iphone XS for fast charging, been reading about how the iPhone XS and iPhone XR will only draw a maximum of 18 watts? Any difference between the two? Charging speeds?

    iPad 2 Won't Turn On

    My mother got an iPad 2 in early 2013 and used it until she got an iPad Air 2 in 2016. Around that time, she accidentally dropped the iPad 2 with a cheap case in front of our door step and it cracked the screen, but it still worked fine. After several months to a year, it just stopped turning...

    UPS: APC or CyberPower?

    Mains power here is not that great - we don't have many long outages, but plenty of little half-second outages that play havoc with stuff in a home-office: routers, desktop hard drives, and soon, a Mac mini. I've been intending to get a UPS for a while, but as I'd worked from a laptop I've put...

    mac mini 2018 Power consumption

    Hi all, Apple hasn't updated their page on power consumption (yet). https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201897 One great thing about the mac mini 2014 was that it had very low idle consumption - which made it perfect for a small server setup. Can we already speculate what the power consumption...
