    Mac OS X Blinking folder icon, key combinations not working!

    Hello, I recently purchased an old Macbook Pro 2014. Then I had to factory reset the computer because I don't want the data of previous owner. After wiping out the hard disk, I tried to reinstall the os from recovery mode over the internet. But I couldn't do that because it gave the error "the...

    This is the BEST MBP Apple has ever made!

    I have been a hardcore Mac user for ~15 years or so, for work and at home. I started with some of the first (17"!) Intel MBPs... and I've effectively had one of _every_ iteration since then (we have a healthy laptop upgrade budget at work - the "old" ones get used elsewhere in the company and...

    yet another battery question

    I recently installed a new aftermarket battery in my MBP2015 retina. The battery is holding about 2-3 h depending on use, and I am not happy but content with it. What drives me insane is the fact that for the first 15-20 min everything seems fine and the battery indicator drops by 2-4% than in...

    New "M" chip in MBP every year?

    What do people think? Will we get a new "M" chip upgrade in the MBP every year now? With Intel we really only got upgrades every 2 years or so - but since Apple basically makes new silicon every year for iPhones/iPads - will they do the same for MBPs now? I'm asking because I'm currently...

    Mid 2012 MBP Died. Can't reinstall OS. Help. :(

    This is my very last ditch effort to revive my Macbook Pro. I don't want to waste anyone's time on here, so I made sure to exhaust every other option available to me via online tutorial videos, and other forum posts. I have tried everything I can think of. I was working as usual on my MBP last...

    How's your hinge?

    So I wrote a post about the new M1 Pro MacBook Pro yesterday and the one thing I mentioned is how I love the hinge. It's great. However, I had some bad experiences with the hinge on my 2016 MacBook Pro (it would creak when I opened it for the first time after a few hours, it would creak when...

    MacBook Pro 2021 - it's not just how it performs, it's how it feels

    So, after my first MBP came with a broken screen, a few days ago, I finally got a new one. 16", base model, 1Tb SSD, Space Gray. And I am amazed how good it is. But it's not just about the amazing performance. Or the insane battery life. What really amazed me is how well rounded this computer...

    Is it okay or dangerous to use a screen guard film on a MBP 2021 14"?

    Hi! I recently got this device. As always, I protect my devices very well. Before this computer, I have been using an Early 2015 MBP 13", and I had a screen protector/guard on its display. It served me very well for more than 5 years, and I had never a ghosting/staingate issue thanks to the...

    Using an old Apple SSD externally with an adapter and USB cable, is it possible?

    Hi! I have an Early 2015 MBP 13", and soon will be upgrading my original Apple SSD (128GB) with a XPG SX8200 1TB one. After that I would like to utilize my old SSD externally as well, but this is just an idea in my mind, I am not sure if this can be done practically or not. Do you know if there...

    Safari keeps crashing on M1 Max MBP

    I'm running a 16" M1 Max and I've found Safari to crash at least 3 times a day. I thought it was my Save to Pocket extension so I removed that but the crashes still occur.
