    Kind of at a loss. Need some help.

    Hi guys! I'm new here so thanks for having me. Let me start off by saying I am a computer repair technician. Never had a problem working on Mac computers. If anything everything is easy to get to and laid out nice and neat. A customer brought me a iMac 27" 2015 i5 (I believe an A1419) that...

    I got an iPhone 6s from the bad battery batch

    But I'm seeing no problems with it? If I go into Apple's website and put my serial into the page addressing the ''Unexpected Shutdown Issues for the iPhone 6s'', a message saying that my device is eligible for battery replacement comes up as per the attachment. However, even though I only bought...

    I love my MBP but..... (does the 2015 models have the same GPU issues that the 2011 does?)

    Hi all, My first and current MBP is an early 15” 2011 model which has the infamous GPU issues. Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...

    One year on, a review of the base 2015 MacBook

    After a year of ownership, I've sold my base 1.1GHz, 256GB 2015 12" MacBook. I can now provide a review of my experience. I'd like this review to be different from others - free of fluff hyperbole, and actually based on long term use rather than a week's review as you find on many tech sites. I...

    I want to make sure.. What screwdriver to buy for June-2015 MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi everyone, My June mid-2015 MacBook Pro Retina has been getting hot recently. After reading some blogs, I decided that I should open up the bottom so that I can clean dust off the fan I'm currently in Taiwan for a few months. Little things for electronics are pretty cheap here. I don't need...

    rMBP 15" 2015: not disappointed but surprised...

    Finally upgraded my ageing MacBook Air mid-2011 to a brand new rMBP 2015 15", the higher-end 2.5ghz model with AMD discrete graphics (gave up on waiting for the 2016 rMBP refresh/redesign and have always been a bit circumspect about buying first-generation new models anyway). Totally satisfied...

    Audio Issues

    Audio for me seems completely broken in El Capitan (since early betas). I was hoping for Apple to resolve the issues but seems like that's not going to happen. I spent hours on Google trying to find a solution with no luck although many people report similar issues. USB DAC works for a little...
