    Slow boot (black screen before Apple logo) after HFS+ to APFS conversion of external boot SSD USB-C

    Hello! :-) I have an iMac 5K 2017 3.4 GHz and was running High Sierra with an external SSD disk (WD My Passport SSD 512GB) as boot disk. The macOS High Sierra allowed me to skip the conversion from HFS+ to APFS. The latter caused slow boot times last year. I was running fine with that system...

    HELP. Macbook Air freezing

    Hey I started having issues with my Macbook Air 11" while at work DJing. Suddenly it started getting "slower". - When loading songs into a deck it took longer than usual. - The mouse froze and moved very very very slowly. I had to wait a minute for it to move a few cm - I kept getting a...

    Does this mean Wifi card is broken ?

    We have a 30Mbps line. I'm standing with my laptop literally right next to my wifi router (2 inches aways). I'm receiving 12-15Mbps on Ookla Speedtest on my Macbook Pro 2017 13" w/ macOS Mojave latest public beta. A old crappy windows laptop costing 1/4th the price is getting 28Mbps. I am...

    Does My iMac Use Too Much RAM?

    Hi there, I have a late 2012, 27 inch iMac, with a 3TB fusion drive and 32GB of RAM. I'm only using around 650GB of my Hard Drive's storage and rarely, if ever, push the limits of my RAM. I also keep my files fairly organised and regularly scan for viruses and malware. I should also note that...

    Is there a trick to speed up Backblaze?

    I'm doing an initial Backblaze backup of around 6TB total. After 2 weeks of non-stop backing up, it's completed 1.3TB or 650GB / week. If it doesn't speed up, it will take roughly 2 months total or 6 more weeks for my initial backup to complete. My performance settings are: Manual Throttle...

    Unusable Mac

    Recently, my bootcamp partition crashed. And then I start realising extremely slow performance on my macOS side to the point is as good as unusable. Every click results in a spinning beach ball. At first I thought it was a storage issue, which is weird cause I have 30gb still on my mac...

    iMac runs either underclocked + crazy fan or impossibly laggy and no fan

    Hello, The screen on my iMac 2013 broke, so I decided to remove it and use an external display. After removing the screen, the fans ran crazy high and it was under-clocked, which makes sense (I now know) because there's a temp sensor in the display. My issue is when I plug the broken display...

    Do you think Apple slows down Macbook Pros, similar to the recent iPhone battery scandal?

    It is now the middle of 2018 - three years after the manufacture date of my mid-2015 MBP. 'Coincidently' the MBP has suddenly begun to decrease in speed and power in the recent weeks. It's also funny that Apple provides a three year AppleCare plan. I wouldn't put it past Apple to apply the same...

    Slow Finder Preview of RAW files

    Do I have a SSD?

    My parents have a late 2013 27’ iMac that came with a traditional HD. After some years (beginning of 2016) the system was being a bit sluggish so I convinced them to upgrade the thing with a SSD to speed things up. I ordered a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD. Gave it to my parents and they passed the SSD...
