    How can I start up my MacBook Pro ONLY using the power button?

    Hi, I could rewrite the question as follows: how can I prevent all buttons, except the power button, to start up my computer? Why on earth does Apple make a dedicated power button if you can start up your computer by pressing any keyboard button or even the trackpad? It doesn't make sense. It...

    2011 MBP won't start or wake up

    I have a 2011 MBP that I can't get to "turn on". I had it open and running normally about a week ago. Since then, it's been on my desk with lid closed (presumably hibernating). I opened it yesterday to use it and cannot get it to wake up. Pressing the battery indicator button on the left side...

    Mac Book Pro - Sound Check

    Hi there. I recently upgraded my 2012, 13-inch MBP. I installed a 1TB Samsung SSD and 16GB of ram. My machine is much faster and works just fine. My only concern is probably a minor one.

    Enable the macOS start up sound on the touch bar MacBook Pro

    I would like to start this by saying that I respect Apple's decision to remove the start up sound, because many people have found it to be more of an annoyance, rather than a convenience. Me, how ever, am on the other side of that argument. I am a blind Mac user, who enjoyed having an audible...
