    OSX 10.12 using 3GB swap when 9GB/16GB RAM is used

    As you can see from the attached screen shot, my Macbook Pro (2015) with OSX 10.12 is using 3GB SWAP when only 9GB RAM out of 16GB is being used. This is causing my system to become pretty much unusable. The SWAP memory is too slow and the system becomes unresponsive. Is this common behavior...

    iMac 2011 27" Apple stock SSD swap

    Hi guys! Thought I'd post this here since there's little information about this exact procedure. Today I proceeded to swap the original Apple TS256C 256GBSSD with a Samsung EVO 850 250GB in my iMac 27" mid-2011 12,2.

    Hey y’all, I wrote this AppleScript to swap alias files with their original (I have a huge sample library for Logic Pro X, and I’m often relocating individual files; LPX doesn’t do well with aliased samples, but I like keeping them organized!). on run {input, parameters} tell application...

    I have 3 lines on my verizon plan, two UDP and one TDP. The TDP had an available upgrade and the UDP are still under contract for another year. I ordered the iPhone 7 on the TDP line but want to use it on one of the UDP lines. I had two questions about this: 1. My understanding is that when...

    GSM to CDMA hardware

    Wondering if anyone knows about potentially swapping the antenna assembly from a CDMA into a GSM iPhone 5C. My guess is that it's also built into the firmware; but I just wasn't sure and thought someone might know.

    Swapping hard drives to another MacBook Pro

    I am starting to have issues with my 13" MBP screen turning off randomly. Sometimes infrequently but sometimes very frequently while my computer is charging. Mine is the mid 2012 model. So after researching a bit about this I decided I would buy a new 13" and swap the hard drives (I installed a...
