Hi again people, As you may be able to deduce from my recent posts I'm currently playing around a bit with my 2009 4,1 with 5,1 update. I have recently installed a flashed XFX 5770 and despite probs with known issues such as pci fan speed and display port output was pleased with how it was...

Hello, I have got a MacBook Pro 2015 Retina. About a week ago I created myself a external HDD with Windows To Go. The HDD booted perfectly on my older MacBook Air (2014) and MacBook Pro (2012 non-retina), but it didn't boot on my MacBook Pro (2015). Today I checked that my MacBook Pro does not...

I went to help a friend with an issue she was having with her: Mid 2011 27" iMac 4GB i5 running OS 10.12.3 (Sierra) She wanted to try Photoshop so I downloaded the trial and the computer completely and totally froze on install. As such I had to force restart the machine (something I never...

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I've got a Mac pro 4.1 2.26Ghz that has been flashed with 5.1 firmware. The issue is that I've just installed a flashed XFX HD 5770 like this one to use as a back up card and it all works fine apart from the mini display port. I get the apple logo and...

I would like to start this by saying that I respect Apple's decision to remove the start up sound, because many people have found it to be more of an annoyance, rather than a convenience. Me, how ever, am on the other side of that argument. I am a blind Mac user, who enjoyed having an audible...

Hi, TL;DR Please watch the video and comment on your own experiences with similar outcome. Thanks. :D Link to video on my Droplr account: http://d.pr/v/Faqf Continued ... Here's some information about my iMac and what I experience: My iMac is a late 2015 Retina 27" with a R9 M380 2048MB...

Hi all, I have Mac Pro Late 2013 D300, shipped with Mavericks 10.9.5 and works fine without any problem for 2 years (i'm buying it at early 2015). Two weeks ago, I update to El Capitan 10.11.5, the problem is it can not turn on after shutdown. Press power button, its dead, and only turn motion...

Hello. As a disclaimer, I know very little about this subject matter so if you have a suggested solution please explain it to me like I'm 5. About two days ago, I began setting up Boot Camp on my Late 2014 iMac Retina 5K (27") running macOS Sierra 10.12.2, with the intent to eventually transfer...

is there an app to schedule the launching and quitting of other apps? for example, dropbox launches at boot but i don't need it running all the time, so is there an app to shut it down a minute after boot once it has synced? or can apple script do that? if so, how? thanks

I've trolled this forum and many others for potential solutions, all unsuccessful. My machine is a 15" 2011 MBP (Core i7, 16 GB RAM) running El Capitan. I was in the middle of a session when my computer spontaneously went to a gray screen. I initially suspected hardware problem. After rebooting...

This was unexpected. After moths trying to install a Windows in a partition with bootcamp, I finally succeed, but now OS X is gone... My Mac Mini: 1.83MHz 4GB RAM 128GB SSD in the main SATA and the old 80GB HDD in the combodrive SATA with adapter. I did all the procedure, followed the...

When I reboot my MacBook, this is what I see - the momentary graphical glitches, and out of alignment login screen elements apart from the abnormal boot sequence. Can anyone throw some light as to what might be happening? Forgot to mention, it's the new space grey 15" MacBook pro with the...

I was using my mid 2013 Macbook Air 13inch yesterday and it died while using (at full battery). Plugged her in and she came back to life, had 98% battery. She then up and died again 10 minutes later, straight to black screen, no light on apple logo on clamshell. Pushing the power button does...

So every time I turn on my Mac, I get this weird flash/glitch. Turns out its because I have my display resolution set to scaled. Anyone else experiencing this?

So my mothers MacBook won't boot. I've tried several things I found on Google but nothing solved the real problem. Everything I know is that it's not a hardware failure because if I wipe the hard drive, install OS X again it boots with no problems. Only if i install the Time Capsule backup/ just...

Hey All, I have a strange boot problem with a 2008 iMac. I get a flashing folder icon but i have just installed my SSD (with OS X pre installed) it works fine in any other mac (my macbook, another iMac) I even managed to get it to boot the first time I turned it on (it loaded up to log in...

Hi, I'm new here so hope I've posted this in the right place! I'm on a desktop Mac from late 2012 running Yosemite (10.10.5) and it's been running absolutely fine for months until this last week when I've suddenly been experiencing extremely slow boot up times. This morning, it took almost...

Hello! I'm desperate for help here... My 2012 MBP has decided to die and is not booting up. It essentially shuts off if it gets moved even slightly, which is highly impractical for a laptop. Then, it takes forever to turn back on and gives no signs of life during this time (last time it shut...

I did a time machine backup to a usb drive. I am going to install a new hard drive today. Can I boot using that time machine backup? Or do I need to be able to use the recovery partition to select time machine backup?
