m1 macbook

how come my m1 macbook ejects my external hard drives when it goes to sleep? A pop up in the corner of the computer says "disk not ejected properly" (BUT I DIDNT EJECT IT!) I'm fine with the computer going to sleep but I'm not fine with it ejecting my external hard drive because then all my...

Hey so after I updated to MacOS Ventura 13.1, my iCloud/Apple ID profile picture did not sync properly and instead appeared as a stock macOS icon. The user account photo did appear with the iCloud/Apple ID picture until after a restart. Signing out and back in did not fix the issue but editing...

I’ve encountered a bug with Ventura whereby the significant energy tab on Ventura would not show apps which are consuming energy. This happened with 13.0.1 and I’m not sure if it affects 13.1. This has been happening on my M1 14 inch MacBook Pro and I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software...

Hi! I want to trade my old MBA (2013) for a new one. I’m writing my thesis, and the Mac warms too much, and gets beach balls all over the place. I was thinking in a second handed M1 MacBook. Honestly, I’d prefer the Pro just for the fan. What is your experience? Does the Air warms when...

I own an M1 MacBook Pro for my personal use, my work gave me an M1 MacBook Air recently, and I've noticed everything on the screen of the MacBook Air is significantly larger than on the Pro model. Why is this? The screens have the same resolution size, it's kind of like the whole display on the...

would it be better for me to buy an upgraded M1 air (16gb/512gb) or a base model m1 pro (8gb/256gb)? I don’t game or do any photo/video editing, but I want the laptop to be fast + not overheat with multiple tabs/apps open, have good battery power, and last a long time. Also, if you had to...

Hello everyone, I've spent a fair amount of time on this Forum, reading posts about Monitors and the M1 chip. As you see by the Topic, this is for an M1 MacBook Pro. I have recently ordered a Dell S3221QS (32" 4k) Monitor, but due to the screen flickering problems it had to be returned. I...

I'm using an M1 MBP with Parallels Desktop 17 which works generally pretty well with one very annoying issue that i'm hoping someone might have found a solution for. Whether using the MBP trackpad or a logitech MX Master 3 mouse i have the same issue which is that there seems to be a bit of a...

Hi Been waiting almost 1 year to use my M1 Macbook Air with an external display. Currently have a couple of Dell U2415H monitors, and I realize non-4K monitors won't cut it, with Monterey, in terms of text sharpness. Hence decided to go for a 4K. So would appreciate if anyone using the Dell...

My M1 Macbook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) seems to shut off while sleeping somewhat often, requiring a power cycle / hard reset in order to turn back on. It seems to happen often when it's plugged in charging for a long time, like overnight, and I'll open it to wake from sleep only to get black...

I have already scheduled a Genius Bar appointment for this coming Thursday. I wanted to post this to see if there is any hope, but I think its looking grim for my 4 TB G-Drive. This week I updated my M1 13 inch MacBook Pro to Big Sur 11.3. Personally, I am not one to get the latest updates and...

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...

Hello, I recently purchase an M1 MBA and did a FaceTime video call (my first) with a friend (who was on a mac laptop). On their side, they saw my video flicker and in green color (attached screenshot). Then I called the same friend from a different Mac laptop (MBP 15" 2019) and we did not have...

Hey all, I've seen mention of people having issue with slow WiFi, but haven't experienced it myself until now. The Mac itself doesn't appear sluggish, opening/closing apps and general navigating is rapid, but the internet will be super sluggish - really glitchy on video/audio calls on all...

Hi All! Long time windows users transitioning to Mac. Old setup was a Dell Latitude hooked up to a Dell Ultrasharp U2415, one at home, and the other at work (laptop carried to and fro). Bought a M1 Macbook Air, and am absolutely thrilled with the performance, and with the fluidity of the...

I'm thinking of buying either the Thule Gauntlet or Pelican 1075cc for my new Macbook M1 pro. Any other cases/sleeves you'd recommend for some serious protection?

Greetings to fellow MR forum members!! Would be glad to get some advice from folks here regarding using M1 Macbook with Dell Ultrasharp 1080p monitor. My current setup is: Dell Latitude E7450 Laptop (Windows 8.1). The laptop resolution is 1920 x 1080 Dell Ultrasharp U2415 24 inch, 1920 x...

Does anyone know if the new M1 MacBooks are available on the Employee Purchase Program, Friends and Family store? Can anyone confirm?
