    Battery reuse A1398

    HI, I want to ask, is it possible to reuse the removed battery from MBP A1398? The trackpad started creaking mechanically on my MBP Mid2015, so I want to replace it. The problem is that a battery is stuck under it, which must be removed. I watched on YT different videos about battery...

    Enable Gestures on Mac with no Magic Mouse or Trackpad

Since the Mac Studio does not come with a magic mouse or trackpad you do not have the option to enable gestures. I use a Logitech MX Master with the horizontal scroll wheel and use it for going backwards...

    Help! Trackpad drag lock stays on even when I turn it off

    I have a refurbished 16inch 2019 macbook pro, which i'm trying my best to transition to from Windows.

    Resolved Was there a phantom MacBook Pro being used for the Trackpad gesture video clips in Snow Leopard?

    I don’t know of a MacBook Pro with a trackpad that large with a button that thin. The first attached clip comes from the 10.6.8 version of Trackpad prefPane, but several more like this can be found in the 10.5.8 version of the same (like the second clip). I’m speculating when I ask whether...
