Is it possible for me to change the backup location for iPhones? I have a 1tb iPhone but a 256gb M1 air so I want to back it up to an external SSD. Is this possible? submitted by /u/someperson-1 [link] [comments]

Hi y'all I'm having a really weird battery drain issue. I used to be able to get through my work day and still have about 40-60% battery left, now i'm only getting around 3-5 hours before my battery is about to die. It started a couple weeks ago while I was still on monterey 12.0.1 and still happening on 12.6. I initially thought it was chrome, but apparently chrome having an energy impact of around 100 is normal. My battery capacity is at 98%. I don't see anything else taking up nearly as much power as chrome on my activity monitor so I really don't know what it could be. Any ideas? submitted by /u/TheAmazingTaco [link] [comments]

I need help please, it’s my dad work laptop. I spilled a tiny amount of coke along the table and it somehow went into the back vents of the MacBook pro. Only a tiny amount thought. It turned on and i dried it off and I put it up vertically after closing it so that any fluid might go out but after 5 minutes I tried turning it on again and it doesn’t. It also doesn’t make a sound when I charge it. Right now it’s covered in a towel close to a heater. Don’t worry it’s not close enough for it to get too warm but rather for it to be just dry and not humid. I need help please. submitted by /u/improudofwhatido [link] [comments]

Hello all!!! Needing to look at replacing my 2011 iMac. Basic specs for the 27 inch. Need something that will do video for you tube, stream, word processing, and that’s about it. submitted by /u/Auntimeme [link] [comments]

I have a 14in MacBook Pro M1 Pro and am trying to find a USB C dongle/hub that will let me use my MacBook screen as one screen and then connect 2 external monitors so that I have 3 screens total with each of them being their own display (I don't want any of them mirrored). I'd prefer the dongle also have an ethernet port and be around $100 but I'm flexible on price to find a solution. I'd also like to just have to buy one dongle/hub. I don't want to use multiple MacBook ports or string a bunch of stuff together. It seems like all the dongles I can find in that range will let you plug in multiple monitors but they either end up mirrored or don't intend for the MacBook screen to also be used as a display. Does anybody know of a solution that would work for this? submitted by /u/danny46815 [link] [comments]

I have a 2015 Macbook Air and it’s always worked wonderfully except for battery life, but that’s not an issue. In the past weeks I have been noticing a couple of dead pixels in the left corner of the screen, but i thought nothing of it and just ignored it. This problem then became gradually worse as i’d have a whole portion of my left screen completely unfunctional, not really a huge portion so i was still able to use it. Two days ago my computer started making some weird coloring everyone in a while and then quickly fixed itself, and yesterday it came to a point of no return where the screen is just permanently showing completely off colors and rows of dead pixels in the middle. Sometimes if I leave a page open and switch to something else the mark of the last page will still be visible for a while. At first i could sort of fix it by bending the screen a little, but in hindsight that was a horrible idea and it made the situation much worse. Right now the image on the screen is really bad, and i struggle to use it for reading even file names or websites. Here is a image of what it looks like: https://imgur.com/a/i0I8hVp Is there any way of fixing this myself? I would really hate to abandon this laptop because it has a lot of space and still works very well performance wise, but I need a working laptop urgently for school submitted by /u/Camminatore [link] [comments]

I have an old winXP/Vista/7 app for learning guitar scales that i really want to be able to use on my Mac. It runs flawlessly on my desktop PC running windows 10. However, using UTM and Win 11 the app will run, but the audio lag is significant (+1 second) for the sound from this specific app. This is a very light app originally built for windows XP, very simple non 3D graphics with stock audio sounds recorded in wav format. Here is a link to the program to give you an idea of how simple/old the GUI is. The audio lag for playing the program's wav files will start at say about .5 secs and then get progressively worse as a 5-30 second wave file plays. I have tried this listening with the built in speakers, bluetooth airpods and then wired headphones connected directly to the 3.5mm audio jack, also plugging in a USB-C hub/dock and plugging the stereo headphones into that hub and still have the same problem. Is there any fix i can try to eliminate the lag? Thanks in advance for any help. submitted by /u/SwaggerWagonComander [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! I currently work as a graphic designer who uses large files on a daily basis on a 2017 iMac. They recently gave me a 2013 iMac that was dubbed my work from home mac, (this mac will stay at home). I also was given a 2TB external drive to transfer my work to and from office/home. What do you think is most convenient way to be transferring my working files? I’m a windows guy so a bit in the dark here but an ideal solution would be if the mac could automatically backup files to the external drive whilst I work at the office. And then when I head home I can take the drive and plug it straight into my work from home iMac and continue my work off of it. They also have a cloud service which does have a sync folder feature but that Is a backup plan as it is really slow. Thanks for any help I receive submitted by /u/Loukeyo [link] [comments]

Hello ! I'm a french photographer and I just switched to Mac (Air M2) I was using a 4TB hard drive to work on my old laptop. This computer was running with windows. But since I switched to Mac, I can no longer use my hard drive... It is recognized, I can open the files etc... But I can no longer put my photos on it, or even a pdf... From what I understand, my hard drive was encoded a certain way in Windows, What is not the same under MacOs? I understood that I was only in "read only". Can you help me please... This is important because my professional life is in this hard drive, and my clients depend on it... Thank you ! PS : Toute aide en français est la bienvenue puisque le problème m'a l'air assez technique... Cela serait donc plus simple. submitted by /u/MiguelPasquet [link] [comments]

Hi all, I have a MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro chip, and when I try to lock the screen and turn the display off (for example, lock with a screen corner shortcut, then press escape to turn off display), the screen lights right back up. This didn’t happen on my old MacBook. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks submitted by /u/krkrok [link] [comments]

My mom just upgraded to the new macbook air and Because it’s now out of use I can basically do whatever I want with it. I haven’t gotten it yet but i’m guessing it from 2011 or 2012 but I was wondering how upgradeable it is. I have a windows laptop at the moment but it’s big and heavy and I don’t really like that. I’m a programmer and have to take my laptop everywhere and would love a slimmer version but I don’t really think without any upgrades that macbook air would be sufficient to do my work on, now I know most intel cpu’s are sockettable but I don’t know if this is needed and possible on macs, also the ram would maybe be a problem but I don’t really know if this is upgradeable. Coulf anyone give me some insights? submitted by /u/Z00fa [link] [comments]
