    Charging iPhone with 61W USB-C Charger with adapter

    Hello people on MacRumors I have a question that I can't seem to find answers anywhere. I recently got a 2016 MacBook Pro and purchased the Apple USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter. When I use that adapter to connect my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, it shows it charges with 2.1A. That made me wonder if I can...

    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...

    13" TB MBP Battery Health dropping

    Hi all. My 13" TB MBP started live (according to Coconut Battery) at about 104% Battery Health, as they all seem to. Now, though, after 19 charges, it's dropped quite considerably, alternating for the last couple of days between 98.3% and 99.1%. I realise that battery health isn't a precise...

    Resolved 2016 15" MBPtb Screen Flicker during startup

    After I press the power button, the Apple logo shows up and the bar pops up and after 1/3 of the bar fills up, the screen turns black. Then turns back on and quickly fills up the rest of the screen. This does have the Radeon Pro 460. Thanks.

    Pre-purchase 13" TB MBP questions

    I've just moved from a top-end 2016 5K iMac to using my 12" MacBook as my main macOS machine alongside a custom gaming PC. These are both connected to a shared USB-C 4K monitor. I need to upgrade my macOS machine, and I'd like it to be a portable device - so that leaves me with the MacBook Pro...

    2016 MBP Mission Control Glitch

    I recently got a base model 13" MBP w/ touch bar. I really enjoy using mission control (I currently have 9 desktops), and I have the 4-finger swipe shortcut enabled. However occasionally when I go to swipe, it skips over a desktop and moves either two to the left or right, when I swipe left or...

    How to use the Touch Bar without looking at the keyboard

    This video shows a built-in accessibility feature that displays the Touch Bar onscreen when interacting with it: I know it was possible by using Touché, but this shows where your finger is and disappears once you're done.

    Touch Bar and Safari - Favourites

    Anyone found a fix for this minor issue? Favourites usually show up in Safari on the touch bar as icons, but if you have two icons that are the same (e.g. different parts of the same website), then it shows the name as well, which takes up too much space. So, if I have BBC News and BBC Sport as...

    MacBook Pro (with Touch Bar) freezes desktop

    Every 10 to 15 minutes, the desktop of my new MBP freezes. I cannot click anything, nor can I open any new app. The only solution is to force shut down the MacBook and restart it to make it work again. Any solutions or similar experiences?

    2016 MBP w/ Touch Bar — no Touch ID for admin?

When I set up Touch ID, it works for 1-2 days without a single problem but after that when I am in the log in screen, macbook is asking for my password and not for the Touch ID. In order to "restart" the Touch ID, I have to delete the fingerprint and add...

    Hide idiotic Spotify icon from touch bar

    This is so infuriating, and I'm hoping theres a way (via plist files or whatever) to fix it... Spotify force-adds an icon to the 'collapsed' view of the clamshell view of the touch bar (the one you can customize). This wouldn't be bad if their custom icon SHOWED UP in the 'customize' screen...
