I was looking at the system requirements for Topaz AI because I haven't upgraded to the newer versions and was curious if they have a build now for Apple Silicon as I have a 14" M3 Max 16/40 64GB on order. I'm looking to upgrade some of my professional tools to avoid the performance impact of...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on something. I currently have a 2019 Mac Pro that I'm thinking of selling and swapping for a 16-inch MacBook Pro. The Mac Pro specs are the following: - 3.2GHz 16-core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHZ - 32GB (4x8GB) of...

I launched Kolibri for SwiftUI earlier this year on iOS, iPadOS and as a mac catalyst app. But I quickly noticed that the catalyst app felt kinda bad on macOS. So for me it was clear that I had to remake the mac version as a proper native mac app. And after lots of work and refactoring I...

I play a lot of Dota, have $3500 USD to spend and all I really want is the best Dota gaming experience on a Mac. I am open to desktop, not just laptops, and am currently eyeing up a Studio M2 Max. Just wondering, would that be the absolute best for playing Dota? i.e would the new M3 have some...

Hi there! I’ve been searching everywhere for a good, simple menu bar app that would enable me to access Bing Copilot directly from my MacBook Pro. I found a couple but they were buggy or didn’t work well enough. So I decided to make my own app. Feel free to check it out on Gumroad...

Recently, my M2 air has started making "clicking and squeaking" sounds. They are most noticeable when typing or when the machine is being moved around, even slightly, such as sitting on my lap. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix it. If anyone has had or is having a similar...

Given the recent rumors on Apple releasing the M3 chip at the same time as M3 Pro and M3 Max, I believe this indicates that Apple is going to upgrade the M-series chips on a yearly basis from now on. Yearly upgrades may give Apple a continuum leading on benchmarks on any given quarter, as Intel...

Hi everyone. I didn't see a direct how-to on this, so I thought I'd make one. Also, feel free to share your custom ones. Arial screensaver / wallpaper file Info: Use videos files, must be MOV format (you can rename most MP4s to MOV. If it doesn't work, use Quicktime or Handbrake to re-encode...

I recently thought about all of the Apple product lines and noticed how the naming scheme for all of the products isn’t uniform: we have MacBook airs and pros, but iPad airs, pros, base and minis. So, how could Apple do a major rebrand of the naming scheme, if the names were to be the same...

Dear macrumors, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have been experiencing with the syncing of audiobooks in the Apple Books app. Despite ensuring that my Apple ID is consistent across both my iPhone and Mac, and selecting the option to sync...

Hello Apple friends. I've used Transmission for more than a decade now but I wish it had a built-in torrent search engine for finding images for example of original hard to find games (coz' they were only popular at a certain continent) that can't be read anymore (optical disk, original...

Hey everyone. I had someone help me create a "Make PDF" individually from multiple image files, and when I updated to macOS Sonoma it seems that something changed with the permissions, whereas now the shortcut is telling me "The file couldn't be opened because you don't have permissions to view...

Can anyone recommend me a Wi-Fi 6 router that supports reliably Apple's Time Machine on Macs and that can also be used to access network drives attached for file access? If it's compatible with built-in VPN support and torrent client all the better. Used to have Apple AirPort Extreme routers but...

Unless I'm being stupid...why is it so painful to add a bookmark in Safari? What I mean is, when you go to add a bookmark and then click on the "Add this page to:" drop-down menu, Safari shows you your entire expanded bookmarks directory. Everything. Everywhere. All at once. Not only is this...

I just updated iPhone to iOS 17 and all of a sudden my locked note using the new "Link Notes" feature appears with this error: "Unsupported Note - This note uses unsupported features. To view or edit it, upgrade to the latest version of macOS." I have tried everything reset, update Mac (OS...
