    New 2019 Macbook Pro 32GB RAM/1TB SSD, slow to boot

    Hi all, I've scoured the forums and reddit and couldnt find a real answer for new macbook pros but start up times (pushing the power button, to the login screen) are substantially slower than my prior 2015 macbook pro on Mojave. Is this normal? Is there a way to optimize? Any help would be...

    Why we don't need boot screens

    Hi all, the title is voluntarily provocative :) I invested quite a long time and money to get my graphics cards to show up the little apple logo at startup.

    SSD way forward?

    Hi, Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree as I'm not up to speed on tech. I have an early 2009 iMac with 8mb memory running El Capitan (the latest OS it will take). Recently start-up has been a problem: it takes ages, especially after a crash when each app gets a spinning cog. I've slimmed...

    Two issues with MP 5,1: shutdown hangs and undeletable files

    I'm having two rather bothersome issues with my Mac Pro that I've been unable to resolve. The first is that the machine hangs on shutdown - and often on startup as well. On shutdown it hangs on the wallpaper screens - no cursor, no dock or toolbar. I have to force a shutdown with the power...
