I’m new here and excited to join the discussions about iOS apps and Apple Arcade! My name is jerry, I focus on building tools like calculators.
I’ve been a big fan of iOS and Apple Arcade, and I’m always on the lookout for new apps to try out. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the best apps you’ve used recently or any hidden gems in Apple Arcade!

Looking forward to connecting with everyone and sharing insights!

Cheers

newbie

I'm a newbie but have been observing for the past week or two...wanting to get a glimpse of what might be coming out at mac world. I"m going into my first year in college and was looking at macs b/c of my friend who has been a die-hard mac-user since he was born.

Anyway, the flat-panel imac always appealed to me and i just oredered the new 17" one the day it came out. And now that i'm about to be a mac-user i thought i owed it to myself to register here.

New to your forum.
I was actually researching a company called Swan Technologies back in the 80’s and ran across a series of posts here of some old timers who actually were aware of it. A lot of fun going down memory lane. My background goes back to the early 80s.

My first computer was a Tandy Radio Shack TRS—80, 16k Color Computer. Cassette recorder for storage. Had to connect it to a TV for a monitor. I think it was about 1982 or 83. It’s been awhile. Later moved up to a Commodore 64, Commodore 64+, Commodore 128 and eventually an XT. Moved up the MS world through Intel 286, 386, 486, Windows, NT, 95…
As of two years ago I switched over to Apple M1 iMac, MacBook Pro, 6th Gen 12.9 iPad Pro. and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
It’s been a long journey, but a fun trip down memory lane.

Hi All, Joining from the Monterey Bay. In HS I learned on the first Apple II's...We as a family had the first Mac, then the SE, PowerPC's on and on...

Hello,

Long time lurker, but first time with an account!

Recently found my old iPhone 4, but no longer have a 30 pin connector so can’t revive.

😔

Hi all! I’m a retired musician and Apple fanboy. I currently use a 2021 16” MacBook Pro with Pro chip & 16 GB RAM and my project: a mid-2010 MacPro 5,1 running OpenCore Legacy Patcher 2.2 and Sequoia. It runs great except for the 27” Cinema Display built-in Camera. It works perfectly with FaceTime but not with Discord and Zoom. In System Settings I get errors. I attached them here.

Welcome! You may get a response if you post your errors in another forum, perhaps the Early Intel Mac forum here: Early Intel Macs sorry I can't help with those.
 
Hello! Thank you for letting me in. My name is Lee Jackson, and I'm a composer from Garland, Texas. My best-known work dates back to the 90s, and includes soundtracks to the videogames "Rise of the Triad," "Duke Nukem 3D," Stargimmer," and "Shadow Warrior." I also wrote "Grabbag," the theme song to the game, "Duke Nukem 3D."

I just laid down four large and made the leap back to what PC users would call "The Dark Side" last night when I ordered a brand new M4 Pro MacBook Pro, plus accessories and a 3-year subscription to Apple Care+. The MacBook Pro has a 1TB SSD, 48GB of RAM, and a nano-texture display. I plan to add an external TB5 SSD to the system, starting with 4TB.

I used the phrase "the leap back" in the above paragraph because I have some experience with an Apple II+ in the Computer Lab at my High School in the late 1970s-early 1980s. The systems had floppy disk drives - single-sided 160KB drives - and they even had (gasp!) color screens.

Right now, I'm here looking for info on the external TB5 SSDs. I'm on the cusp of buying either an OWC Envoy Ultra or an Acasis 80Gbps M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure + a Samsung 990 Pro NVMe stick. It's my last decision before putting together my "Jabberwock" of a system, which will be used for writing and creating music. I'll ask the appropriate questions in the proper forums, of course, but I hope I'll find some of you there so we can talk.

Once again, thank you for letting me in! I do appreciate it.
