    Manually Adjusting Keyboard Brightness on 2016 MBP (touchbar)

    This seems like a dumb question but I can't figure out how to manually adjust the backlit keyboard brightness on the 2016 MBP touchbar. I spent about 10 mins googling with no luck. Thanks.

    I've Changed My Mind About the Touchbar...

    I was pretty skeptical about the touchbar on the new MBPs. Seemed like a gimmick to me. After actually using the new machine for a few solid days now I'm seeing what Apple has done with it in Xcode. I think this touchbar will be pretty useful once adopted. So far other than XCode I'm noticing...

    Emoji 'crash' TouchBar

    Hi folks, Has anyone else had this problem? When in Safari, FaceBook, and either the full screen messages or the 'pop-up' messages, if I try to use the emoji selector on the TouchBar, the TouchBar goes black and unresponsive. Clicking elsewhere on the main screen brings back the TouchBar...

    Touch Bar discussion [merged]

    Is it just me, or does the touchbar seem to make no sense when it comes to actual usability? When you use any laptop, your focus is on the screen. When you have a touchscreen, you can see what you want to touch, and touch it directly. When you've got keys on a keyboard, you know where you...

    Is safe Bootcamp (Windows 10) on the 2016 MacBook Pro?

    I'm concerned about the reports regarding Windows blowing out the speakers of new MacBook Pros. However, I noticed in an update that Apple claims to have resolved this. Has this issue truly been resolved?

    "Killall TouchBar" Command for Terminal?

    Hello, sometimes I have problems with my touchbar, right now my volume and brightness control do not work. Sometimes it is something else, you know what I'm talking about if you have one of the new Macbook Pros. I know that there is the useful Terminal command `killall dock` which restarts the...

    MacBook Pro 2016 - nTB vs TB after 10.12.2

    Hello everyone, I've been deciding between the TB and nTB for days and I was quite sure I'll be buying the nTB until the latest update came out. As the performance was quite similar and battery life is very important for me as a student, the nTB seemed like an obvious choice. Now as reports of...

    How to put the TouchBar to good use

    When I was watching the hello again live-stream I was hugely disappointed. I wasn't thrilled about the features they showed on the event, especially the ones with the TouchBar. All I was hearing was Emojis, Emojis, Emojis. What a gimmick I thought. And apart from that every "Pro"-user knows...

    Touchbar Macbook Pro & Java

    Hey everyone, I know that this might be a silly question, but I am wondering about putting Java on my new Macbook Pro 15" with touch bar as I occasionally like to play a game that requires it. I am just concerned about Java possibly harming my computer in someway or not being safe. If it is...

    Touchbar: How to add my own shortcuts?

    I got my brand-new 15" Macbook Pro just earlier today. Loving the new thin design, speakers and of course the touchbar. I was wondering if it is possible to add my own short-cuts to the bar. It would make sense to "pin" little Apple Scripts in the bar for specific apps: e.g. in Finder: open...

    Does the new TB Macbook Pro smell like new Apple products used to smell?

    New Apple products always have this special smell – not a bad one, I pretty much like it. If you ever bought a new Apple product before you'll know what I mean. This moment when you open the box for the first time, you'll smell it…it goes away after a few days, but you will remember it. My...

    Empty button in touch bar

    There is an empty button on the touch bar that does not go away. I went to edit mode, but when editing it goes away. When I click done its comes back.

    Touchbar Support for Photoshop

    Hey Guys, I was looking into buying Photoshop for Uni and as I got my new MacBook Pro TB yesterday I'm really looking forward to the touchbar support. However, I still haven't decided whether I want to get the standalone Photoshop Elements 15 or the yearly subscription to the photographer's...

    13": No-TouchBar 2.4Ghz/16Go RAM vs. TouchBar 2.9 or 3.1GhZ/16Go RAM

    Hi, I'm considering those two configurations for the 2016 MB Pro. I don't really need the Touch Bar per se. I saw on this website (https://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks) that there is not that much difference between the two configs, but I'm not very sure how to interpret those...

    MBP for a week

    I just 'borrowed' (okay so my cousin was out of town when his MBP came, and I brow-beat him into letting me use it until he came back). This thing is sexy thin and the prettiest girl at the ball. But, she's not gonna be the one you leave with. They nailed the aesthetics for sure. But, the...

    Why the rush for TouchBar mac?

    Not sure if some of us only upgrade to the newer mac solely because to the touchbar. This might not be the brightest idea, given that Apple might very much release a magic keyboard with touchbar as they update the iMac in the coming WWDC or sooner. By then touchbar would if more mature...

    Touch Bar Productivity Feedback from Pro Users

    Hi, I am a long time MBP user and am looking at the getting a fully spec'd 13" MBP with touch bar. I personally don't care about the touch bar but am looking at this model because it's the only way to get the higher spec'd CPU, another example of Apple's horrible up selling techniques. I have...

    In the ultimate Dilemma

    So I am upgrading from a 13" 2011 MBP that gave out on me about two months ago. I am graduating college this year, and plan on taking advantage of the student pricing. I am a video editor and designer, and often utilize the entire Adobe creative suite (Pr, Ae, Ps, Ai, etc.). I anticipate that my...
