    Does iOS 17 upgrade notes/reminders to be incompatible with previous versions?

    Despite my 2017 MacBook Pro still being incredibly snappy, it will not be compatible with the next macOS. So if I upgrade my iPad and iPhone to iOS 17, will my notes/reminders/anything else be upgraded to a version that will no longer sync or be compatible with my Mac?

    2022 Apple Studio Display with 2015 Macbook Air

    I searched for this question but didn’t see it. I understand that the new Studio Display doesn’t support older Macbooks through the Thunderbolt 3 connector. That said, if I had a DisplayPort to USB-C cable should that work to connect the two? I understand it may not carry all of the features...

    Apple Music Spatial and Lossless Audio with Built-in Speakers? Converter?

    Do the built-in speakers in the latest versions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac support spatial and lossless audio? In other words, I don’t need headphones to take advantage of these features? Also, if I enable High-Resolution Lossless, a messages appears saying that external hardware is suggested (to...

    Has macOS become a useless platform for virtualization?

    So, I've had a frustrating weekend. Decided to setup a Linux VM in two different hypervisors - VirtualBox naturally since its free. Didn't work as seen in the screenshot below. The issue was not specific to Linux itself, which I initially thought it was. The problem affects existing Windows VMs...

    Can somebody with an M1 kindly test if an app opens through rosetta 2?

    Hello everyone. In my workflow I use plenty of high profile applications, which I'm sure can be used with the current M1 processors (either in native or rosetta 2 translation mode), but there are also a few smaller applications I rely on, that I'm not sure would open on an M1 chip...

    macOS 11 Big Sur kills a lot of plugins

    Big Sur is a deal-breaker when it comes to Music Production especially if you use some legacy or free plugin that won't receive any update in the future. Most of my plugins were working as of beta 2 since it's the version number was still 10.16 except for those that were already crashing on...

    MP 1,1-5,1 OWC RAM compatible with 2010 cMP but not 2009 cMP (1066 VS 1333Mhz?)

    I ordered a set of 3x 16GB RAM modules from OWC and asked in advance explicitly whether it would work in my 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro 4.1 (2x 2.66Ghz), a machine I had ordered directly from Apple the day it came out and never upgraded since. All original, no hacks. OWC said yes. Yet neither all 3...

I'm wondering if compatibility will be an issue due to the age of the game compared to other, newer games I have downloaded. I currently have a 2015 MacBook Air with 10.12.6 Sierra.

    CarPlay Non-Wireless Carplay w/ Portless iPhone. How will it work?

    Hello everyone! I am looking to buy an Apple Carplay aftermarket system for my car. Obviously, I would want it wireless, but even after 4 years of CarPlay, there's just a handful of models available, and prices don't ever go down. It crosses the $1 000 CAD line, which I don't think is a good...
