Hey all, I'm curious how hibernate works on the MacBook Pros... I'm used to Windows reserving the amount of RAM in Gigabytes on the SSD, so that it can copy the content from the RAM to the SSD when hibernating. How does that work on the MacBook Pros / in MacOs? I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro...

I have a 2018 intel i7 mini running Sonoma 14.4.1 with 32 gigs of ram that I purchased 4 years ago when they had the 2020 refresh. It always ran smoothly enough until a few months ago when it started to struggle with seemingly simple workloads. This has slowed down my productivity significantly...

Problem: Replacing faulty maxed-out MBP with M3 Max, trying to understand RAM requirement, no equivalence tables seem to exist. Spec (OLD) late 2019 16" MBP, 2.4GHz 8‑core Intel i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M w/ 8GB GDDR6, 64GB 2666MHz DDR4, 1TB SSD) Spec (NEW) 2024 16" MBP M3 Max, 16-core CPU...

I wanted to play around with disabling memory compression as I imagine this adds some CPU overhead. I'd like to leave swap enabled. I upgraded the SSD so swap to SSD should be pretty fast. You used to be able to disable memory compression from recovery with: nvram boot-args=vm_compressor=1 The...

Is anyone else experiencing the issue where xprotectremediatorsheepswap is using taking a huge amount of RAM every day? Since Sonoma 14.3.1, this process would pop up and start eating up 100GB of RAM and making >50GB of swaps into SSD. This issue also seems to have affected many other users...

Hi Mac rumors community, I am trying to choose a macbook pro for my use cases but it's not eazy. My context : I am a developper working with differents technologies (Python, Javascript, C#, R, ...) and I want to dive more into IA/Deep learning work. I am also doing video editing with DaVinci...

Hello, I'm looking for a little bit of advice and recommandation. Basically, I've bought this iMac 27" in August 2020, and almost immediately purchased additional Ram (16Gbx2) on Amazon at the time. Recently, the iMac kept crashing randomly, without any evidence of what was causing the issue...

Wanting to grab a piece of history before they fade from memory (and the market) I bought a used 2017 iMac 27" 5K. It had a rather odd memory load out of 56GB. Ran Apple diagnostics at the seller's house, and everything checked out so I paid up and brought it home. About this Mac shows a rather...

Hi guys, I need help choosing a configuration for my new Mac M3 Pro. I'm thinking about getting the M3 Pro 16" base model (18/512), but I'm wondering if that will be enough to support my work and college assignments for the next 5 years or so. Do you think I should upgrade to 36/1TB

I was looking at the system requirements for Topaz AI because I haven't upgraded to the newer versions and was curious if they have a build now for Apple Silicon as I have a 14" M3 Max 16/40 64GB on order. I'm looking to upgrade some of my professional tools to avoid the performance impact of...

I've "upgraded" from a 16" MBP M1 Pro with 16GB RAM and 512 SSD to a 15" MacBook Air M2 with just 8GB RAM and 512 SSD. If I had to believe 90% of people on here, my wallet would be $200 lighter due to a 16GB RAM upgrade. I'm constantly running Safari with 3-5 tabs, Chrome with 5-10 tabs and 10...

Interesting Article from AppleInsider interviewing Apple vice president of worldwide product marketing Bob Borchers. "Comparing our memory to other system's memory actually isn't equivalent, because of the fact that we have such an efficient use of memory, and we use memory compression, and we...

Can anyone with a 14” mbp with a fully maxed out M1/2 MAX Chip + fully maxed out RAM comment on battery life/fan noise? Curious what the actual experience is for people with a fully souped up 14”. How bad is your battery life? Do you deal with a lot of fan noise? Issues even in a low/medium...

I couldn't believe this when I saw it. It's deplorable. Why, Apple, why? https://www.apple.com/imac/specs/

Hello, few years ago I upgraded my iMac (2020) 5k 27-inch with 2 RAM: Corsair SO-DIMM 32GB KIT DDR4 2666MHz CL18. So now I have 40 Gb total RAM (4 -default- / 16 -bought- / 4 -default- / 16 -bought-). I would like to upgrade again, but I am not sure what is the best for the performance. Should...

Congratulations to all those who managed to get their 15 Pro Max this week/weekend. Given the apparent upgrade of RAM from 6GB (in 12 PM, 13 PM and 14 PM) to 8GB in the 15 Pro Max, I would love to know if you are seeing significantly more apps staying in RAM/not restarting after you have left...

Hi, My Mac is so slow these weeks. Got a new one.. Just wondering if its possible to turn off all - or almost all Cache-usage of memory in Mac OS? Normal RAM is much faster, so I really would like to have this configured

Hello all. Looking at getting this for my Mac Pro 6,1. I'm not dead certain it will be compatible though. Mac Pro supposedly supports registered ECC memory but I recently bought 128gb worth of 1866mhz ram and it didn't like it. Apparently the speed clocks down on 128gb to 1066 so I'm wondering...
