I have a very old, but quite reliable and functioning machine. The issue is I don’t trust random people messing with my laptop as I use it for djing, which is a very demanding task. I need to replace the battery and have the thermal paste replaced. Is anyone aware whether apple would agree to replace these in a shop if I pay them? submitted by /u/Then-Bid-2457 [link] [comments]

I have a late 2019 16GB/512GB MacBook Pro. It's my first Macbook, and I love it. I still use it every day for work as a freelance software engineer. Lately, it has gotten quite sluggish, gets very hot even when just running a browser, and its battery barely holds for 2 hours. I've tried a clean install of macOS, removing the back plate and cleaning the dust, but it hasn't gotten any better. Now, I could just buy a new M2 MacBook, which would probably be an amazing upgrade, but my wife and I are living a very frugal life lately, trying to save up money for a house, so I'm trying to avoid this if possible. Would it help if I re-apply the thermal paste to the CPU/GPU, and potentially replace the battery? Has anyone done this and saw an improvement in performance? submitted by /u/FunkyPanda [link] [comments]

Hi everyone. I'm a student and I have an intel Macbook Pro 2016. I've been using it for a long time now. It used to work perfectly until recently. For the last month, I've been facing an issue that whenever I'm playing video content screen starts flickering. This doesn't happen right away after playing a video. It works fine for a few hours and all of a sudden it starts flickering and stops when I pause the video, and sometimes it goes black if I don't pause the video. There is no problem when I'm just browsing or using it for any other task. I've tried all the solutions I could find on the internet from resetting NVRAM and SMC to reinstalling the macOS. I've also tried disabling Automatic Graphics Switching but the issue still persists. Everything works fine on an external monitor and the issue seems to be only with the integrated screen. Can someone please help me identify the cause of this issue and how to solve it? I'll be grateful for any help. Thanks submitted by /u/drdemente69 [link] [comments]

Lived daily on my 15" Macbook Pro (2013) with os Sierra 10.12.4 running smoothly, except that a lot of my essential applications are no longer supported on it... so, high time to finally get a new laptop, after 8 good years of service. I just got a new 16" Macbook Pro a few days ago, and it's quite the change, but I was excited for how fantastic of an upgrade this machine is for me. Instead, it's looking like I'm going to have to return it. I want to give it one more chance tomorrow but I'm not hopeful. For some reason it is very quick to give me eye strain, feels like crossing my eyes a bit whenever I try and use it. I know I'm not the only one because there are other threads and posts out there of similar complaints, so I guess I just have to accept this situation as it is. I am super sad. I was looking forward to this awesome upgrade. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do in place of getting a new laptop. Maybe getting a Mac Mini instead so I can find my own display? I hate that idea, but I've still got time to think on it. Currently typing this from my old Macbook Pro. submitted by /u/starsquo [link] [comments]

I recently decided to buy a 13” MacBook Pro with a touchbar. I was excited because I have been looking forward to getting the touchbar. However, I’m a little anxious now. I’ve seen people having issues with touchbars freezing, becoming disorted, and even straight up dying. Are these common issues and should I be worried? Or do these issues happen rarely and I should be okay? submitted by /u/chxrry_skies [link] [comments]

There is Minecraft logo/image on our Macbook. I can't interact with it, highlight it, delete and it doesn't open Minecraft. It is also covering part of our other desktop icons that do work like normal. https://preview.redd.it/ou8lypc4fbqb1.jpg?width=1324&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d683f5c7572ec7733486168afb0b394b2a4e8eb9 It will also stay on in any window that is minimized. Once the page is full screened, then it is finally covered. https://preview.redd.it/dh8adta7fbqb1.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=698b311622c6106550b5369ae0f637ef2b02d517 Does anyone know how to get rid of this? Do we have to uninstall Minecraft? Is there a way to edit the desktop? submitted by /u/nerdydreamer1818 [link] [comments]

The other day my MacBook Pro was running low on battery, I went to change it but it didn’t do anything…. I clicked on the battery icon and it said something like “MacBook can’t charge”. So my MacBook ends up dying and since then I haven’t been able to get it to charge, it’s just a blank black screen. Any ideas??? submitted by /u/Accomplished_Bid7645 [link] [comments]

Edit: I have a MacBook Air M1 and iPhone SE (2nd generation ) I think to fit my budget range, I need a non-Bluetooth speaker which up until this point, I’ve never had to deal with for MacBook Pro lab top or even an iPhone for that matter. For the sake of brevity for this post, I NEED a speaker that can handle brown noise at a loud volume. I mean quite loud. Not ear plugs or headphones or an evo machine etc. I know a lot of people own Mac products and iPhones … how do people hook up non-Bluetooth stuff? Do you just need to get some universal “piece” for your Mac if it isn’t compatible with apple and hook it up that way? I guess I’m looking for people who don’t use Bluetooth to answer or if you do use Bluetooth but can give advice as to what I would need for non-Bluetooth.

I'm considering buying a new Mac, but for security reasons related to my work, I'd like to run a separate OS from a USB or an external hard drive. Can this be done? And if so, could you show me how to do this? submitted by /u/PappysVanWinkle [link] [comments]

I have been using the M1 Macbook Air since 2021. There is a Wi-Fi problem with the product that I do not understand and that I could not solve even though I searched on the Internet and tried everything. Let me explain that there were times when the wi-fi speed was low even when there was no one using the wi-fi other than me, even in the same places with the M1 Macbook Air: The living room of the house is in the same place. 5 minutes ago 45 Mbps on speedtest. The living room of the house is in the same place, now at 19 Mbps. I'm the only one using Wi-Fi, and nothing is downloading in the background. I have 50 Mbps internet, and I don't experience any internet speed drops on my other devices: my desktop PC and my iPhone. This situation I experience is especially evident when watching TV series, movies, or videos on YouTube. While watching 1080p, the video suddenly freezes, and the video automatically changes to 480p. Should I send the product to Apple Service for a hardware-related problem? I talked with Apple online support, and they said the problemmay not be related to the hardware of the laptop.​ submitted by /u/AdministrativeList30 [link] [comments]

this computer has been flawless and I love it, however... backlight is now dim and showing the black circles on the bottom... warranty program expired for me almost 2 years ago, thus apple is trying to charge me $600 to repair it. (M1) MacBook air currently on sale for $750 (best buy), plus I have coupons and can trade this current computer for $150. They also have a scratched, open box M2 air for $840. looking at the screen brightness side by side annoyed me bc I really assumed being a newer chip newer everything they would not have made the newer mb air with a weaker brightness than an mb pro from 7 years ago. went in today to browse and here's what I know I want: no touch bar (hate it), want 500 nit screen, but possibly could live with the weaker 400. Not a tech guy, don't use any heavy programs or games just heavy web browsing and word processing. However, I get so into various branches of research I make 6-7 desktops, each with at least a few windows, many windows with at least 5+ tabs, so that's a lot of strain on my computer when it gets to that point. If a web page is particularly heavy like my credit card page pulling up statements from long ago, the fan kicks in, & all content on safari slows. I also need to be able to leave my work (safari windows) open for sometimes months until each task is done. I never shut down my mac hardly ever. Just close lid, then wake up and resume. Sometimes I have all these apps running at once: notes, messages, mail, maps, photos, + all those safari windows. as s technically illiterate guy, is this a thing with RAM or is this affected by the fan at all? Basically I hate apple for not fixing my screen as this computer is flawless and still has 6+ years of good use (personally) and I am upset that I have to replace it, but I would like to get something close to it in performance, for as cheap as possible. to make things more complicated, I can have this screen replaced for $400 by a local guy, at which point the only thing left on this computer is a battery replacement (not a big deal for me to just keep using the computer plugged in 24/7. So battery + screen looking at about $650. too many directions, help: 1) refurb older mbpro ($400 max)- what is the life expectancy going forward, on a refurb? (i5/i7) 2) m1 air (suck it up and deal with the 400 nit screen)- $550 with coupon + trade-in 3) m2 air- $650 after coupon + trade-in (dont care about the speed difference, only looking into it for the 500 nit brightness, same as I have currently) 4) fix current computer screen ($400) 5) fix current backlight LVDS cable instead of full screen replacement ($270) 6) if a more modern (post 2016) 13" mbpro exists WITHOUT a touch bar, and I could buy open box for less than $600? ​ submitted by /u/colter_d [link] [comments]

I can't disable bluetooth and i can't discover new devices. It's a m2 macbook air, i didn't find anything online. Maybe someone can help me? https://preview.redd.it/47r4bi4fo9qb1.png?width=988&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa966378b6409ce8d719342810fab296607851ca submitted by /u/antoniom96 [link] [comments]

Title! Looking to either purchase the M1 Macbook Air or the M2 (13") for reference. ___________________________________________________________________ I am coming from the Windows OS, which unfortunately no longer makes the cut for me with the laptops available on the market now. I figured college would be the right time to test out an Apple laptop for a change! That being said, I have very little knowledge about the Apple OS and am having trouble keeping up with other online discussions about what the right choice for me would be. I was hoping some more knowledgeable Apple patrons could help me out in this sense! Here goes... The most intensive thing(s) I would be doing on this laptop are conducting online research (multiple tabs open at once), using Microsoft software (Word, PowerPoint, etc), and the classic browsing and streaming here and there. While I plan to use Cloud-Based software, I DO want to download Word files to my computer in case something goes wrong with the CloudSave. For my case, are the base 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD models enough for school tasks (the ones mentioned above)? Is it better to opt for a 16GB/512 model where possible, or is this overkill? Would a 16/512 model run faster or have any noticeable difference between a base model in terms of my use? (I ask because I know this varies from user to user). Between the M1 and M2: are there any hidden differences and/or micro-issues (things that those silly online "tech"tubers fail to tell consumers) that people should generally be aware of? Is one better than the other in terms of processing over price? Does the M1 have any outlying advantages over the M2? And finally... (the "here-it-comes" question...) Which would be better for my use? ​ Thank you very much in advance! Looking forward to my potential new Macbook with your help :-). submitted by /u/Fantastic_Twist_7704 [link] [comments]
