new mac

G'day everyone. Long time forum lurker, first time poster. (Go easy on me please.) Tried researching the forums and google for an answer but I can't quite find an example to match my situation, so here it goes. After years of putting up with my ****** 2018 i9 MBP constantly black screening, I...

Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read my first thread. I am currently looking for a new MacBook Pro, and would like some input on my options. I pre-ordered the new 16in M3 PRO MBP with 18GB of RAM, 512GB SSD in black ($2500, top of my budget), but just saw a post on marketplace for...

So, for reasons I can't explain here, I need to use a different iCloud account than the one I used to buy it online. Is it problematic to assert the warranty or AppleCare+ in case of problem? Thanks.

I just bought new hardware direct from Apple: a refurbished M1 Mac Mini and a shiny new iPhone SE 3. I've been using Macintosh computers since 1986, and owning them since 1989. I have never owned both a Mac and an iPhone until now. This will be my first iPhone ever. I want to set up a new...

So, I read comic books on my iPad by syncing folders containing images from an established directory on my desktop. When I did this from my Windows machine, the pages would show up on my iPad in numerical order, meaning, the files on my desktop were named as such: image01, image02, image03, etc...

Hi! I'm considering buying a new 16 inch macbook pro. However, I'm having problems deciding on what configuration suits me best. (For example, which processor, how much ram, graphics, etc.) Does anyone know of any resources that can help me decide what is best for me? I'd like more...

Its just a speculation. Its not something I am hoping for. I love using my trackpad. The new UI really looks like calling for touchscreen Macs. I wouldn't be surprised to see coming this fall. Whether they will be Intel based or Apple silicon. Who knows? Though the later seems more probable...

Finally pulled the trigger on a 16" MBP to replace my trusty (but aging 2014 model). I haven't updated machines in a while and I'm trying to remember any true benefits from using Migration Assistant, and if it would even be worth it in my case. I'm a big fan of starting FRESH. I look at my...

According to the UPS supercomputers, I'll be receiving my new MacBook Air today. Also according to said computers, the MacBook was in China just 36 hours ago and has traveled through Korea, Alaska, and Kentucky before heading to my state/city. I can only assume there is a fair amount of plastic...

I am thrilled about my new-to-me Quicksilver 2002 I got for a song! Brand new in the box even--nary a scratch and all items in it were still wrapped and sealed! It was never even opened! Now to figure a way to get it to connect to my LG IPS Ultrawide 34" monitor using a DVI to HDMI adapter.. ...

Hi all, I have a mid 2014 MBP 13 inch as noted above. I started having some unexpected shutdowns and now the computer is showing that it needs a battery replaced. Should I do it at this time or should I go ahead an buy a new one? I had to purchase it after my old 2010 MBP had some mother...

Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a predicament and really could use some advice here. Firstly let me start by saying I love apple computers and have been using them now for 20+ years now! I also happen to love PC gaming with my ageing 2008 MacPro (via BootCamp) but it just can't cope anymore so my...

Hi guys. I currently have an Air from 2012 and today I'm getting a brand new Pro. I have a ton of files on my Air, so the easiest thing would just be to use Time Machine to get the new Pro up and running without losing anything. However, since my Air is so old, I don't know if there'll be a...

I just got my new MacBook Pro 13 inch with Touch Bar. It is awesome. If you recognize my username, yes im the guy who's been looking for a laptop for forever. This one is perfect. Fellow 13 inch owners, anything I should know and/or be warned about? Thanks

5 years ago, I bought a MacBook Pro and installed Microsoft Office 2011 on to it from a disc that cost about £100 I think. This week, I'm getting the new MacBook because my Pro is old and slow now. I was wondering how I get Microsoft Office on my new MacBook. Would Time Machine do it? Or can I...

Finally after 3 weeks of waiting I got this beauty of a machine! I've been browsing these forums for the past few months to acquaint my self with some of it's features. However, I do have a few questions regarding general advice & certain gaming aspects. I know that it would be my best bet to...

Hi, I was wondering if anybody knew if when buying a mac book from mac of all trades.com if it would come with the original box, documents, screen cloth, and Cd's. One person in the review said it came with all original stuff, but in the description it said does not come with osx disc and...
