I did a quick search on the forums, so apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it. Has anyone heard of an aftermarket keyboard for the latest gen of Macbook Pros? I wandered through the Apple store today and tried the 15in 2018 MBP and gotta say, *sigh*. Ignoring the...

So this happened. This is the crack next to the plastic piece that caused it because when I closed the laptop that thing was sitting there. It was obviously an accident but after doing some research I found out that Apple doesn't cover it as it is considered "accidental damage". The computer...

Hi guys. I have a problem. I cannot decide which one to buy. I'm looking for a used mac up to $800. For that price I can buy used MacBook Air 2017 on craigslist, or sometimes even new (BestBuy discounts) or MacBook from 2016 or sometimes 2017. In most cases MB is around $100 more expensive than...

Hey, how are you guys doing? (I didn't know which subforum is appopriate for this question but since I got an iMac I figured it can go here.) I updated my Adobe Creative Cloud apps a while ago to CC 2018. So far so good. During the updating process it said that it will uninstall CC 2017...

I use iStatMenus which shows estimated time for charging/discharging. But each time I plug in the power adapter, the laptop charges faster than the estimated time. For e.g. If I take a reading of 1 hour 42 minutes to full charge at 12:37, it should complete at 2:19. But it completes in 1...

Hello! I got a MacBook Pro (15", 2017 model) which is only a couple of months old. Today I noticed something about the trackpad, and I want to ask you guys whether this is a normal thing - because to me it sure does not sound normal. Problem: only when I tap the trackpad a bit harder than...

So, I bought the 2017 13-inch MBP (3,1 GHz Intel Core i5, 16GB RAM, touchbar, etc.) about 2 months ago. And it's horrible. It just has problem after problem. First, two weeks after buying it I noticed that there was a dead pixel in the screen. I spoke with Apple and they told me that it needs...

I have my 2017 iMac hooked up with an ethernet cable, which obviously gives me speeds of approximately 1 Gbit/s. Useful for me for file transfers in my network etc. Recently I got myself a Watch Series 3, which I use to unlock the iMac. This requires WiFi to be enabled on the iMac. So far so...

Hi everyone, I've had my iMac for a few months and it works great, but I have noticed that there is a static noise every time I scroll down or up a webpage and go back and forth. I looked into it and see that some people are also affected by it and I don't know if anyone has an idea about it. I...
