    Can't reinstall any MacOS on my Macbook Pro

    Hi there, I'm kind of desperate. I have a pre unibody early 2008 Macbook Pro installed with MacOS Mojave (thanks to dudeos patch). The problem is that some day, the Mac refused to start... it kept stuck at the loading bar with the apple logo. I tried resetting the SMC, NVRAM, removing the...

    This is how my day is going so far...

    So, yesterday I received in my first MacBook Pro. I don't have a lot of money, so I bought a 15" 2010 with the first generation i5. Not bad for what I use it for, mostly web browsing! I have been getting by with a late 2008 13" MacBook unibody that suffered from random freezes often. So I get...

    Macbook dead

    I need some help! I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro. The other day I turned it on, plugged it into my 2nd monitor and it got to the password screen. The 2nd monitor then turned orange and the MacBook had these green lines appear. I tried to reboot. In regular boot it gets about 1/4 of the way...

    Sidecar causing 2020 13' Pro to overheat

    Hi, I used my base 2020 13' Pro this afternoon with Sidecar, and after just 10 minutes roughly, the MacBook was extremely hot. This seems ridiculous when I was only using it as a second screen for Spotify. Is this an issue with Catalina, Sidecar or the MacBook? Anyone else experienced this?

    MacBook Pro buying advice

    I need advice on a MacBook Pro purchase. Currently, I'm using a late-2015 MacBook Pro, which is the last model before the move to all USB C ports. It's been a real workhorse, but lately, I’m really feeling it’s 8GB of RAM and 2015 processor, which struggle to keep up with my workflow. So I've...

    2020 MBP 13" hanging on security settings

    I noticed that my 2020 i5 / 16 / 512 MBP hangs when I press the security and privacy option in settings and pressing the lock after that, totaling to about a minute of wait time. Does this have to do with the T2 security chip? FileVault is disabled.

    TG Pro (Lightweight) Tutorial: Stop Burning your Lap

    I filmed a short tutorial on using TG Pro for new Mac users. This app helps keep temperatures low by increasing Macs' fan rates. I've found that setting the fans a bit faster by default remains inaudible yet boosts performance and more importantly, comfort if using the Macbook on your lap...

    Late 2020 16" MacBook Pro Predictions

    I was hoping to buy a future-proofed & maxed-out MacBook Pro (with the best GPU) for starting university this fall. I felt the 16" released back in November was only a warm-up for something really big for 2020. I imagined a no-bezels miniLED 14.1" display with a new deca-core i9 CPU, paired with...
