=====AIREDROP===== • My new M1 MBA [Monterey] sees my iPhone 8+ in Airdrop and the iPhone sees the M1... all works great. • My 2011 MBA [High Sierra] sees my iMac 2011 [High Sierra] in Airdrop and my iMac 2011 sees my MBA 2011... all works fine. However, my M1 MBA doesn't see either 2011 Macs...

For the past few days, I have noticed that instead of the usual 10 - 14 hours battery that I usually have, my battery has plummeted to almost 3 - 4 hrs per charge as I noticed huge battery drain from the Firefox browser. I only have 2 - 3 tabs open on my Firefox tab with only 2 extensions...

Hey there! Weird M1 iMac issue I've been encountering intermittently and unpredictably for months now. Once in a while — sometimes twice in one day, sometimes five weeks apart — the system will suddenly stop accepting keystrokes and mouse clicks. But it's actually a bit more complicated than...

Hello guys, I bought a m1 mini and I'm looking for a monitor to complete the setup. I'm looking at used options, and I was in doubt between the Thunderbolt Display (in the box, conserved and already comes with the TB2-TB3 adapter) and the LG Ultrafine 21.5 4K (2017 model, without a box, but also...

My M1 MBA is directly connected to DELL U2720Q with a single USB-C cable. HDR is turned on in both MacOS and the monitor (as DisplayHDR). Confirmed P3 colours and HDR videos can be displayed and played correctly under this set of settings. However, very often the external monitor is unable to...

Hi I need to buy a new iMac to use for work by the end of 2021. I am a photo editor and also now edit video (as in selecting and reviewing stock footage clips rather than doing post-production work. (footage is mainly 4k and maybe with occasional 8k) I currently have a 2013 21.5 inch intel i5...

Hi everyone! Not sure if anyone will care but this is one of the only places I can think to post about it besides twitter! I've been on a passion project these last few weeks and I finished it the other night and wanted to share (because I'm absolutely geeking about it!) I decided to make my...

When will it be, anyone know? I know Rosetta 2 will run it, but some people have reported high battery drain etc because of this. Would be so much better to use whatsapp when its optimized for M1

I've used variations of MacBook Pro's since first switching to Mac in 2007 and recently went from a 2016 Retina MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air. I bought a 24" 1080p monitor for around £200 knowing the resolution wouldn't be as high, but damn. It was ugly after coming from a Mac display. I...

Hi guys, I am a new owner of m1 mac mini. I am a bit worried about high swap memory and I used a lot of tabs on chrome. Which browser should I use (thinking about Brave) to reduce swap memory usage. Any tips to configure the browsers to reduce swap memory? Thanks guys!

I am a new owner of M1 Mac Mini. I am just learning some C++ programming and sometimes leetcoding. I noticed that one can't use code::blocks on m1 natively and I think eclipse/vs community are just a bit too heavy for what I am working on. xcode is really complicated. For C++ pros on this...

Because there is a huge thread now, it’ll be hard to read what is discussed about this issue and what has helped. TL;DR: Update to 11.4 Big Sur as soon as you can to solve the SSD issue. As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...

My M1 MacBook Pro touch-bar is unresponsive. It keeps happening repeatedly without any reason. Anyone has any suggestions on how to stop it from happening ever. Have a look at this ??

Check out this video I saw on YouTube

Thanks to my buddy @leons who’s updated to 11.3, I’ve just been notified of this. I myself have stayed on 11.2.3 and all aspects of sideloading still work as always. Installing apps by the traditional sideloading methods on 11.3, and running sideloaded apps you have already installed, has been...

A list of tweaks/fixes to try to fix excessively high writes on M1 Originally all suggested by me in ssd swap - high usage of Terabytes Written, doing these has reduced my M1 daily SSD write from ranges of 350-500GB to 25-50GB, while maintaining the same heavy workflows and not losing any...

I just updated manually all of my iOS apps on my M1 Mac. It looks like side-loading still works using Apple Configurator 2 and the Terminal! I'm on macOS 11.2.3

Here's everything I've tried. 1) Since my Samsung T5 SSD is in Ex-fat format and seems to work properly. I backed up 3TB data and then formatted it to ex-Fat and moved the data back. It still doesn't seem to work. 2) I've tried using WD discovery to mount. It just doesn't work. Not even an...

Hi everyone, This is my first post on this site in a LONG time. It's nice to be back amongst the Apple community, the best tech community there is!.. So yesterday I finally delivery of my brand-new M1 MacBook Pro (Space Grey, 8GB Ram, 512GB SSD) and I'm absolutely over the moon with it. I know...

Hey, I was thinking about getting a new external monitor for my MacBook Air M1. From what I can tell, the Dell P2721Q 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitor seems like a good choice. I would like to get 4K at 60Hz through USB-C, so that I can use the Monitor-MacBook as a "one-cable-setup" . From what I...
