    Macbook's butterfly keyboard issues is not about dust/debris at all!

    ~Last year, my old 2016 Macbook Pro got completely unusable because of the keyboard issue (it started after a few months and wasn't a big deal, then it got much worse over time), so I bought a brand new Macbook Air 2018 thinking a keyboard cover will save me, from the day one, I've put a...

    Is my MacBook Pro battery over?

    I own a MBP 13" Late 2013 (i5,8GB,512) since it release. I have read in the Apple Support page that the maximum cycle count for this device is 1000 cycles while my Mac has already 1313. Does this mean that my battery is almost over? Right now it lasts me quite a few hours without problem.

    20Hz External Monitor Refresh Rate on a Late 2013 MacBook Pro (rMBP)?

    Hi all, does anyone know if it's possible to get higher than a 60Hz refresh rate on a MacBook Pro? I believe I have all the right hardware but the Refresh Rate setting option is still grayed out at 59.88 Hertz (NTSC). I've read online that people have had success driving it on 2012 MacBook Pro...

    Macbook Buying Advice

    Hi all-about a month ago, I spilled corn oil on my early-2015 13-inch MBP. It's got 2.7 Ghz, Dual Core i5, 8GB Memory, and 128GB Storage. I recently graduated college and it got me through all four years. Had the spill not happened, I probably would still be sticking with it as it wasn't showing...

    MacBook Pro 16 Outer edge (Rubber Lining) light bleed

    First and foremost, this is not the same thing as a backlight bleed issue. This is an issue, with the light leaking through the rubber lining and display. So I’m currently on my second exchange unit. My first unit had light bleeding between the rubber lining and display on the bottom right...

    Python on MacBook Air

    Hello, I made a factory reset of my MacBook Air, and downloaded a firewall and an antivirus program. Then I noticed that the firewall picked up a program called "Python", which I found to be strange. To my knowledge, this is a similar program to R (Statistics, coding, forecasting, etc...

    The least Tim Cook could do is offer better trade-in for people forced to trade due to their faulty keyboard design!

    The keyboard on my 13" MBP has been replaced once and badly needs it again (and has needed it for some time but it's a pain to get it fixed). The primary reason for replacing my current MBP with a new one is purely for a functioning keyboard. My wife has endured the bad keyboard on her MBP for...

    Resolved Display settings when switching tabs

    Ok, I don't know if I'll make much sense but: When switching tabs, the window switches by moving to the side. Is there a way to change the settings so that switching tabs happens more seamlessly/instantly?

    I just got a macbook (2020 air) for the first time, so I’m going through a little adjustment period. A few q’s: How do I change the default text size for things?! Ex. When I open safari, I have to zoom to get the text bigger each time. Is there a way to set a default size? This goes for all...
