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...

Hi! This is related to my last thread "iMac 2017 (A1418) converted to monitor, need help with cable management". So, in short, I'm converting my iMac 2017 21.5" into a monitor and I need a hole to pass some cables through it. It makes no sense to drill a new hole and the most logical hole is...

Hi all I‘m new from the Forum and from classic macintosh. I found this one that should be a 128k, but there are some things that I can‘t explain, like the extra hole in the back (looks like a very clean cut, well done or factory?) what’s for? it has an internal storage but still boots from the...

After suffering from the bubbled & snowflaked LCD Screen, I found someone who can replace it with hi-res version. Since the logicboard of my previous 1,5ghz only recognized 1 slot of RAM (a problem which Apple also admitted) I upgraded my logicboard as well. Then, when I paid and my PB is...

I have an A1082 23" Apple Cinema HD Display. It is my understanding that there are no such thing as 'matte screens', just glossy screens that either have or have not had a matte film adhered onto them. There are numerous success stories of people using listerine (and similar) to break down the...

I miss the iMacs of 2009-2011. Despite their high GPU failure rates they were easy to get in to and upgrade. Specifically upgrading hard drives with SSDs. It is not an impossible task with 2012-2020 iMacs, but its sort of a one-and-done thing. You can really only remove and replace the adhesive...

Hi everyone! I'm from Switzerland and I'm 27 years old. My main workstation is a good working MacBook Pro late 2013 with 2 30'' Cinema Displays. Back in the days I used to collect old iPods so now my collection is over 30 iPods from several generations (iPod classic, mini, nano, shuffle). My...

Bought a 2.3ghz i9 2019 mbp for legacy purposes like old x86 plugins for logic that will probably never be updated, maybe it was a dumb idea, but it's done. Anyway, since this forum seems to be the birthplace of that mod, I've read many 2019-2020ish ideas about the mod, where to place, how...

Flash Modding a 1st gen iPod Limitations: At first I have to admit that there is one limitation: syncing the flashed iPod with iTunes/Finder is not possible because of the missing USB support of the controller chip. FireWire doesn’t support the connection to flash storage. Solution: To get...

mods, please delete

TL;DR: Remove the main outer plastic shell of the Zotac Trinity RTX 3090 and it will fit in the 2019 Mac Pro 7,1 My Mac Pro recently came in and sure enough, it seems like almost every RTX 3090 out there is too big. I'm really more of a data science type, so I got 2x Zotac Trinity RTX 3090's...

Hello. I plan on hooking a Lacie drive (SSD Rugged 500gb) for my old late 2011 macbook pro.... I plan to use the the old thunderbolt 2 cable and installing OSX on the drive to achieve faster speeds than my internal hard drive. My question is, and it's more a Lacie Product question than...

I was so happy to discover the Command-F "Show Filter Field" option works in the same way the old Find/Search box did in iTunes. This is the main way I look for music in my library, and it really annoyed me how the behaviour of the main Find/Search box has been changed in Music. Has anyone come...

Hi, I run a MacBook Pro (15-inch Unibody, Mid 2012, 2.6GHz Core i7, 16GB, SSD, GT 650M 1GB) on an external 1080p display. The computer runs quite hot while doing light tasks like watching 1080p 60fps youtube video. I like it silent and the fans' noise bother me. I have always taken great care...

Heya! I saw gilles_polysoft made a miracle and gave our dusty machines to native NVMe abilities. I look at his twitter and he can edit Apple Efi with UEFITool. I am familiar with this kind of editing. I just ask myself to why didn't Apple release efi/bootrom files to public for corruption or...

Hey all, I've found various ancient threads on this topic, but I'm wondering if anyone has a more updated take on this. I have an old Mac G5 lying around , that only sorta works. It will boot up properly like 30% of the time. It's the 2003 model (the processor is not as accessible as later...

With no other viable options at the time, I made the following upgrades to a 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) about two years ago - primarily for rendering with VRay. VRay uses CUDA, so the AMD GPUs of the trashcan Mac were of little use and adding Thunderbolt chassis for external GPUs would have just added...

I've been a long time user of a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I just purchased an IPP 10.5 and couldn't find a case I liked. The standard book cover case for the Tab S 10.5 is a great design with two buttons that snap into the back of the tablet. The case has three viewing positions and is stable...

Hello, I used to have 2010 white macbook unibody long ago and sold it a few years before. However it was so fun to use it. While surfing on the internet I just saw a guy modding old ibook g3 clamshells, putting an i5 (probably an intel NUC or macbook air logic board). You can find his website...
