Hey guys, I'm completely new to the Mac world (please go easy on me :)) and I'd love your input on a MacBook Pro I recently bought. It's a 2021 MacBook Pro 16" with 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, the base model. The seller listed it as "used," but the more I inspect it, the more I feel that description might be a bit generous. There's a dent the seller didn't mention, and it looks like the MacBook Pro might have been dropped, resulting in a slightly warped casing. Additionally, there are some minor scratches on the screen, though they don't affect usability. Another concern is the battery, which has 1082 cycles and about 82% capacity remaining. A rather small point is no original apple accessories were provided, it was a 'ifeart' charger with a 3rd party cable Here are my main questions: At 1050 EUR (or 1140 USD), do you think this was a wise purchase? Should I keep it or return it? Do you foresee potential issues with the screen or battery in the coming years? I've heard these models might be more susceptible to screen damage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! submitted by /u/TheMat556 [link] [comments]

I have a 2020 MacBook Air that has a bad battery, as in it dies the moment the charger is unplugged, and it runs INCREDIBLY slow. I was wondering if I were to get a battery replacement would that help speed it up making it run at normal speeds again? submitted by /u/ChaoticSalvation25 [link] [comments]

I want to purchase a Macbook for work and daily use, like writing documents, editing simple videos, recording screens, and using Photoshop. I don't consider the latest Macbook Pro due to the high price. Any other recommendations? thanks! submitted by /u/Aurora_0923 [link] [comments]

Hi Everyone, I was able to assemble a script to have my macbook Connect to my Bose TV Speaker with the click of a button. When I used to turn on my bose tv speaker, it would keep blinking even though it was last connected to my macbook. I'm using a scipt (built in Automator) and then leveraged in Shortcuts to now press a button and have it connected instantly. Love how easy the mac os makes things. If you need me to share this script with you, let me know. submitted by /u/seedsage [link] [comments]

about a week ago I was reading something on a sketchy website and clicked a popup ad and now I have thousands of random files in my finder app. I tried deleting them but they came back. my computer is also now taking a long time to charge--it'll take 2 hrs to charge from 70% to full. Apple support was completely unhelpful. please please help. am I screwed? what should I do? submitted by /u/thatchedhut [link] [comments]

Ok so whenever use this specific MacBook, the wifi goes off and never goes back on until I manually disable and enable wifi again, and then it functions properly for like less than 5 minutes before it does it again. This happens across all versions of macoS this has run on from when I wiped and reset it to Yosemite to current version Opencore Sonoma, and no other device in my house is affected except this MacBook submitted by /u/Hash-6624 [link] [comments]

Hiiii, I’m looking to purchase a laptop for my university education and am considering getting a MacBook Air M3 (16GB unified memory, 512GB SSD). I’m gonna be studying engineering and product design, and will be doing things like 3D modelling/rendering, coding and Machine Learning. May I check if the MacBook Air with M3 chip is reliable for such tasks (in terms of speed and capability)? Or do you recommend me getting a Windows laptop with better specs like RAM and GPU?

Need a new monitor, market is overwhelming. Probably the most important feature for me is, as I said, colors that will match my Macbook screen as closely as possible, since I use the Mac as a secondary display if I need one. With my current display, there's a very noticeable difference between their colors, which I haven't really been able to improve through settings. The absolute best would be the Studio Display, of course, but I can't afford it. I also want at least 120hz, which 5k currently does not support. Let's set these criteria: 4k 27-28" 120hz minimum Colors, contrasts, blacks as close to the Macbook Pro display as possible. Glossy display would be nice, but I'll survive with matte. That's it. What are some of the options currently on the market for something like this? Would love to hear personal experience as well from people with a similar setup! (I'm also not an expert in color calibration ETC, so maybd these results can be possible with something like that?) submitted by /u/smelly0live [link] [comments]

A few days ago member u/Totallyrealyamumreal posted here asking what the best Mac ever made was. I took the assignment too seriously and ended up with a big list of Macs by generation. I hope that Mac lovers here will enjoy this list & walk down memory lane. I’m looking forward to comments and disagreements from the community. Without further ado! The Best Macintoshes Ever Made!!! TL; DR - the best Mac Apple has ever made is the 2023 MacBook Pro 16” M3 Max - it is the ultimate in portability and power. The M3 Max is faster than the Mac Studio M2 Ultra in many tasks for much less money in the same configuration. Battery life is amazing. Performance exceeds every portable Apple ever made. It is plenty powerful enough to take on demanding workloads, including RAW photo editing, 8K video editing, & 3D modeling. It is compatible not only with Mac apps, but also with millions of apps for iPhone & iPad. Though gaming isn’t as simple as a Steam Deck, it’s more than powerful enough to run thousands of games through Rosetta, Whiskey, Crossover, emulators for all major consoles, and even every generation of PC using tools like 86box & UTM. LONG FORM LIST OF THE BEST MACS BY GENERATION Peak Apple Silicon M-Series CPUs: Apple’s move to ARM CPUs in 2020 brought amazing performance and battery life improvements, especially to the MacBook Air line of computers. In addition the new MacBooks gained compatibility with many iPhone and iPad applications. Shipping with Rosetta 2 most 64-bit Intel Mac apps made from 2006 to 2020 will still continue to run on Apple Silicon Macs 2023 MacBook Pro 16” M3 Max - the ultimate in portability and power. Faster than the M2 Ultra in many tasks (x) 2024 MacBook Air 15” M3 - the ultimate in lightweight portability and battery life, a fanless design keeps this machine silent without major sacrifices in power 2023 Mac Studio M2 Ultra - the ultimate Mac desktop performance 2023 Mac Pro M2 Ultra - the same great performance as the Mac Studio, but with massive expandability Peak Intel 64-bit: The Intel Macs have the largest legacy of compatible software. Most software made from 2006 until 2020 will run on these machines. They are also the last Macs that can dual boot into Windows 10 & 11 for Windows apps and games running natively on the hardware 2019 16” MacBook Pro i9 2.4Ghz - for portable power & a dedicated AMD 3D GPU 2020 i7 MacBook Air i7 1.2Ghz - for lightweight portability (*) 2019 27” 5K iMac i9 - Apples most upgradeable 5K Intel iMac; upgrade the RAM to 128gb, 8tb+ NVME SSD drive, plus an internal hard drive up to 20tb (*) 2019 Mac Pro Xeon 28-core 2.5Ghz - with up to a 28-core Xeon CPU and up to dual exotic AMD workstation graphics cards this Mac tower can push 50+ gigaflops of 3D GPU power and boot into Windows too (x) Peak Intel 32-bit compatible: macOS Mojave (10.14) was the last version of macOS that supported backwards compatibility with 32-bit Mac Apps. Thousands of Mac games and apps made from 2006 to 2019 were abandoned when Apple transitioned to 64-bit only 2019 15” MacBook Pro 15” i9 - for portable power & a dedicated 3D GPU 2019 13” MacBook Air i5 1.6Ghz - for lightweight portability 2019 27” 5K iMac i9 - same great model as above! (*) 2012 Mac Pro Dual Xeon 6-core 3.16Ghz - the famous “cheese grater” Mac tower upgradable to dual 6-core Xeon CPUs and a variety of GPUs this is definitely the most upgradeable flexible Mac Desktop of the decade (x) Peak PPC Rosetta compatible Macs: When Apple launched Intel Macs in 2006 it included a compatiblity layer to run 2001 to 2006 PowerPC Mac OS X apps. Apple eventually abandoned this with macOS Snow Leopard (10.6.8) killing off the ability to use PPC apps in future Intel-based Macs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software) 2011 17” MacBook Pro i7 (early-2011) - this was the last year of the 17” MacBooks and the first year of Intel quad core hyper-threaded CPUs in a MacBook. Unfortunately the Nvidia GPUs for this year are known for failures (*) 2010 13” MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz - a light weight but very weak dual-core machine not in remotely the same class as the MacBook Pro 2011 27” iMac i7 - this was the most powerful iMac of the era and can still be used today with OCLP. It is also considered problematic today because its GPU is not Metal compatible 2010 Mac Pro - functionally the same motherboard and CPU compatibility as the 2012 Mac Pro tower. Up to dual 6 core - 12 thread Xeon GPUs (x) Peak PowerPC Macs & ”Classic Environment” MacOS 9: Apple switched to Mac OS X in 2001. It originally shipped with a built in “Classic Environment” that would boot Mac OS 9 inside of a type of virtual machine and allow you to run Classic Mac apps on Mac OS X. The last version of Mac OS X to have a classic environment was Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) 2005 17” PowerBook G4 1.67Ghz (Double Layer SD) - fast & portable laptop (x) 2005 20” iMac G5 2.1Ghz (iSight) - the fastest all-in-one PPC Mac 2005 Power Mac G5 dual G5 2.5Ghz (late 2005) - this was the most powerful PPC Macintosh ever made. The design of the “cheese grater” G5 Power Mac was iconic, easily upgradeable, and continued until the 2013 Mac Pro trash can (x) Peak PowerPC Macintosh running “Classic” Mac OS 9: In 2001 Apple shipped the new and completely revised Mac OS X 10.3 with their new machines. While it was a very very exciting time, it also marked the end of Macs that were compatible with the classic Mac OS having roots and some compatibility all the way back to the original 1984 Macintosh. Though many apps made the transition to Mac OS X using a framework called Carbon, thousands of “Classic” Mac apps were no longer able to run natively on newer Macs. These were the fastest Macs ever made that can boot “Classic” Mac OS 9 2002 PowerBook G4 1Ghz - fastest laptop 2002 iMac G4 800Mhz (flat panel) - many people loved this floating-arm sunflower-like design (x) a runner up would be the 2001 iMac G3 700Mhz - the fastest of the original “lickable” iMac gumdrop design that brought standard USB, Firewire, video editing, DVD playing, CD-burning, iPods, and the iTunes Music Store to Mac users 2003 Power Macintosh G4 dual 1.25Ghz (mirrored drive doors) - the fastest tower Mac with OS 9 compatibility Peak 68K Classic Mac OS 8.1 & Mac OS 7.6.1: While Apple had an emulation layer that allowed most 68K Apps to run on PPC Macs; some older Macintosh titles could only run through special compatibility modes found on 68030 & 68040 Macintoshes 1995 PowerBook 190cs 33mhz - fastest portable 68K Mac 1993 Macintosh Quadra 840AV 40mhz - this was the most powerful 68040 Mac and came with AV inputs for video editing (x) 1995 Macintosh LC 580 33mhz - was the best all-in-one “iMac style” 68040 Mac Other iconic Macs: * 1989 Macintosh SE/30 68030 16mhz - the penultimate version of the original Macintosh design. This was amazing to see running with a 20” B&W monitor doing 2-page desktop publishing in 1991! () * 1990 Macintosh IIfx 68030 50mhz - screaming speed and amazing upgradability (unlike the original Macintosh), the Macintosh II line were the first “color” Macs, very cheap starting at about $10K (x) * 1991 PowerBook 170 68030 25mhz - co-designed with Sony, this was Apple’s first true laptop * 1993 Macintosh Color Classic II - was the last revision of the original iconic Macintosh design (x) * 1993 Macintosh TV 68030 32mhz - came in black with a TV tuner * 1995 Power Macintosh 8500 PPC 604 120mhz - this second generation PowerPC Macintosh shipped with the new powerful 604 variant of the PPC chips. It is the spiritual successor to the Quadra 840AV and it also shipped with a built in video capture functionality () * 1997 Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh PPC 603e 250mhz - this was an iconic Macintosh with a modernist design and Bose speakers, performance was mid-range for the time but quickly eclipsed by the 1998 iMac, cheap at $7.5K including white glove home setup! (x) * 1998 iMac G3 233mhz - The original bondi blue iMac that marked Apple’s resurgence after Steve Jobs return in 1997, it also introduced the transition from legacy ports to a future with USB for high-speed plug and play peripherals () * 1999 iBook G3 366mhz - this was Apples modern era affordable laptop that Apple used to launch WiFi 802.11b on the Mac. Prior to this all Macs required expensive WiFi adapters or to simply be plugged into Ethernet * 2000 PowerBook G3 500mhz (Firewire) - this curvy black beast was considered Apple’s sexiest and most flexible laptop for a long time () * 2000 Power Mac G4 Cube 500Mhz - this was a G4 in an iconic compact “toaster” design. Even at launch it wasn’t going to win any performance awards. A precursor to the Mac mini * 2005 12” PowerBook G4 1.5ghz - this small aluminum laptop was a compact powerhouse (x) * 2005 Mac mini G4 1.42Ghz - the first hyper-affordable PPC Macintosh costing only $499 (bring your own monitor and keyboard) * 2005 17” eMac G4 1.42Ghz looked like an oversized original iMac in white with a CRT * 2013 MacBook Pro 15” (Retina 15-inch Late 2013) i7 2.6ghz - the move to Retina screens was truly revolutionary. It’s hard to go back to anything less. This slim redesign of the MacBook Pro with an amazing quad core i7 CPU & Nvidia 3D graphics was a seriously powerful portable that is still great for a daily driver in 2024. Upgradable with NVME SSD drives () * 2013 Mac Pro Xeon 12-core 2.7Ghz - the “Trash Can” Mac was powerful at launch and is still powerful today for many tasks; As a pro machine without any upgrade slots only Thunderbolt accessories and chassis worked with this machine. Many Pros stuck to their 2009-2012 Mac Pro towers for this reason * 2020 13” MacBook Air M1 16gb - the iconic original wedge MacBook Air design with exceptional performance and all-day battery life.

My university has a surplus warehouse that sells used items they don’t need anymore. They posted this list of macs for sale. I’m not a knowledgeable computer person…Could I get a recommendation on a good quality deal? I’m a geology student that would be using it for programs such as R, Matlab, and Adobe suite (specifically illustrator). I’m not a gamer so graphics aren’t important. Just looking to process data at an efficient speed. Thanks in advance 🙂 submitted by /u/edgypeach420 [link] [comments]

So I was working and my MBP started not recognizing my SSD which was plugged on the left side. Said it 'needed power' which it never did before. Then all 4 ports started not working and I couldn't even charge it. I tried resetting SMC+PRAM and it didn't do a thing. I also tried resetting PRAM via terminal (sudo) and it gave out 3 different error codes which I don't remember. Something like didn't have access to a variable or function or something. Then it died, and now I can't charge it. No Applecare whatsoever. Any help is appreciated! Thanks. submitted by /u/earthlessrips [link] [comments]

Just yesterday my Mac started giving me this error. I don’t understand why as it worked just fine the previous day and when I restart the computer it works perfectly again. I didn’t think much about it afterwards because the “unplug it, plug it back in” trick worked, but just now I opened my Mac up and again had the same error occur. It’s weird because all day yesterday after I restarted the computer I didn’t run into this at all but this morning it pops up. I checked for an update and tried looking online but can’t find why this has happened. Any information would be great and wondering if I am not the only one this is happening to submitted by /u/General-Realistic [link] [comments]

The new school year is coming up and I own a Macbook 13-inch M2 pro and an iPhone 11 pro. I want to get a power bank that can charge both of these devices without actually damaging them. Does anyone have any cheap recommendations for any power banks? I don't care about the charging speed because as long as I can still use them during school without the battery going down it should be fine. submitted by /u/Leo_Weng000 [link] [comments]

I recently purchased a 2021 MacBook Pro from a third party seller in brand new condition. In the first couple months, it worked flawlessly, then randomly died. Before someone asks, the laptop did not suffer any external damage. I’ve taken it to several technicians, including Apple, all of whom said it was most likely a defect on the logic board (from what I gather researching the issue, this isn’t uncommon on these Macs). Though the laptop was new to me, it’s over a year old and thus out of Apple’s warranty. They did offer to flat out replace the board for a cool $1,000. I decided to read through my state’s consumer protection laws and discovered my case pretty clearly falls under the Assistance Technologies statute (due to my disability I rely on my laptop for just about everything I do) under which Apple is liable for manufacturing defects, even after their express warranty has ended. Assuming I am, in fact, correctly interpreting my state’s laws (which I very well might not be but for now I’d rather not get into a legal debate here), what’s the best way to go about asking Apple to repair the device? I understand it won’t be a quick and easy process, but I figure it’s worth a shot. At the end of the day, I don’t want to make some employee’s life difficult or be that entitled, obnoxious customer who threatens a lawsuit/complaint to the department of commerce (I also have no desire to go down that road, that just sounds like a pain if anything). Plus I really do believe you get more bees with honey. But at the end of the day, not having my computer is really debilitating and I simply cannot afford to fix it right now(even through reputable third parties). And yes, the seller does have a (very limited) warranty, but I would still VASTLY prefer to have it repaired through Apple, if possible. I have a feeling that will be a bigger headache than going through Apple. submitted by /u/wawawooah [link] [comments]

I received a letter from University of California, saying that I must upgrade my MacBook (late 2016) to Ventura or Sonoma or buy a new MacBook after 11/2024 EOL or else they'll be dropping services & I won't be able to use my current MacBook for my school projects.
