    MacBook won't boot

    Hello! I'm new to the forum and am at a complete loss as to what to do. Last year, the hard drive on our macbook gave out, so we had that, along with the battery replaced and the RAM upgraded.

    Anyone use MacX DVD Ripper Pro?

    I was overseas for many years, and digging around in my storage unit, I found a box of dvd's I never got around to ripping, mostly rare or older shows, special dvds. I used MacTheRipper years ago, but since I haven't touched a dvd in years, I bought MacX DVD Ripper Pro. Nice interface, easy to...

    Advice for specs on MBP

    hey everybody! After the keynote at WWDC, it seems pretty clear that Apple isn't gonna push out any MBP or MBA updates in the near future. After having a laptop for 4 years, it's killing me to not have one. So, I'll be ordering one in the next couple days. I just wanted some advice on a...

    rMBP 15" 2015: not disappointed but surprised...

    Finally upgraded my ageing MacBook Air mid-2011 to a brand new rMBP 2015 15", the higher-end 2.5ghz model with AMD discrete graphics (gave up on waiting for the 2016 rMBP refresh/redesign and have always been a bit circumspect about buying first-generation new models anyway). Totally satisfied...

    Purchased my 13in MBP in Ap2016 yet it's an early 2015 build

    Seems to me that if you buy a MBP in April of 2016 you can reasonably expect it to have been built up based on this year's specs. At the same time now, I don't know how much of a bump in technology there's been from 2015 to 2016. But anyway, imagine my surprise when I saw in the specs that this...

    New MacBook Pro 15" - >1 TB?

    My 2010 MacBook Pro is starting to show its age, and I'm thinking about a new one. Unfortunately, it seems like it's hard to get >1 TB disk capacity. I replaced the DVD drive with a 2TB drive in my existing laptop, so I am spoiled with 3 TB right now. Is there any way to approach that on the new...
