I got a macbook air mid 2011 that's running linux and I love the form factor and everything about it but it only has 4gb of ram and that's a small problem for me these days. I was wondering if I could upgrade the logic board to something with 8gb of ram. If I'm correct I could easily change the...

It seems rather difficult to find a nice example of this model at a sensible price, I have found a suitable one but with rubber damage above the camera, I’m sure it’s not the first one like this and I was wondering if anyone has come across this and found a solution or a workaround?

I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15” Retina A1398 and I am currently experiencing a few issues. Hope I’m posting this in the correct place. (For context) my MBP has 2 partitions, one 10.7 Lion partition (mainly for testing) and 10.15 partition (for daily use). So I cleaned out the fans of my MBP...

This is my very last ditch effort to revive my Macbook Pro. I don't want to waste anyone's time on here, so I made sure to exhaust every other option available to me via online tutorial videos, and other forum posts. I have tried everything I can think of. I was working as usual on my MBP last...

Hi, I am running a mid 2012 15" a1286 MBPro with a standard glossy 1440 x 900 resolution. I have decided to do an upgrade on the screen and got myself a late 2011 hires matte display with 1650 x 1050 resolution. I replaced the screen and needed to do some small changes on the LVDS cable so it...

I use a 2014 mac mini as a home server (plex, itunes, photos, etc.) it has 8gb of Ram. I run some ram intensive apps like a Ubiquiti controller and my usage was into the 60-70% range, so i thought i needed more ram, so i bought a 2012 mac mini with 16gb. I cloned my 2014 to my 2012 and booted...

Hi guys, Quick question, I am a student that wants to buy a 5,1 Mac Pro and I noticed that the 2010's have the 5,1 identifier and so do the 2012 models. Looking at the market I can see that the 2010 dual CPU models(which is what I am looking for) are cheaper than the 2012 dual CPU models, is...

Hi, Does anyone know if a 4,1 (2009) case is exactly the same as a 5,1 (2010 - 2012) so components from a 4,1 model will fit into a 5,1 or vice versa? Cheers, Chris

Ok so this weird thing happened to me: My Mac Mini 2012 power supply kinda exploded... I needed the Mini on another station for the day so I unplugged it and (perhaps the mistake) took a random power cable. Connected everything, power on. Switching to the keyboard... BOOM The power cable...

I run a small computer store and recently bought a dozen 2012 Mac pros (Xeon 2.4) Half the units have this issue: Upon startup, the fans run at 100%. I've isolated the problem to the processor tray. Swapping the processor tray will move the problem over to the other computers. I also tried...

Hi, Was just wondering if anyone else with an iMac 2012 27" has issues running Chess at full screen, max resolution. It's weird -- it will run perfectly fine on El Capitan, and on Mojave however I have issues running it on High Sierra without it crashing + kernel related to the GPU. Happens...

I have been using my new iMac 2019 for two days now and I noticed that the audio sounds very poor compared to my iMac 2012. I know you can't expect the best audio from an AIO desktop, but a downgrade in audio quality is unacceptable. Especially when you spend almost double the amount of money on...

I’ve been reading up on the advantages of booting from a ssd. I’m not comfortable cracking my 2012 iMac open, so external seems the best route for me. There have been several threads like this, but not for a few months. I just wanted to see if anyone had updated recommendations for equipment...

Hi, I've been reading posts here and elsewhere for weeks but I'm trying to get input for my specific situation. My Mid 2012, 13-inch MBP is usually always in clamshell mode hooked up to a decent 1080p 24" display. I'm looking to upgrade my external monitor. I bought an LG 27" 4K monitor (I...

Hi Friends, After few seconds in idle position screen goes off, then when try any key wake up my system it does not respond instantly, it takes 5 to 10 seconds to respond. But in my previous Mac air it was not the case, it opens instantly. Is there any option to fix it.

I have a late 2012 iMac, (upgraded to 32 GB Memory) and Geforce GTX 680MX I do a fair bit of After Effects and 4K video editing work. If I upgrade to an entry-level iMac Pro (3.2GHz 8-core, 32GB Ram, Pro Vega 56) would I notice a substantial performance increase? Thanks.

Hi friends, I was searching online to increase my Mac Pro speed with out upgrading hard disk to ssd and increasing RAM. Disabling all animation in Mac OS will help opening your apps fast. When you close an application and reopen it, it will start from where it left disable it, then the app...
