third party

Does anybody have an experience using a modern Mac with the latest version of macOS with one of the old 27-inch Thunderbolt displays? I've read comments on this forum about text not looking great on low-ppi displays. I'm in the market for a Mac Mini (casual photo editing, Keynote, and...

Anyone else experiencing charging issues? I have a Series 6 I keep updated and have never had an issue. After the 8.3 update, my watch no longer charges using a third-party puck. Charges fine with Apple-supplied puck. Is it possible Apple added code to disable third-party chargers?

i used to listen to 3rd party curator playlists such as from the BBC, Pitchfork and NME on Apple Music but can no longer find a way to browse these playlists. Has something changed? If I search the curator I can find them so the playlists are still available but the ability to browse as before...

Dear forum members, Background: My mid-2011 Mac mini came with a stock Mac OS X 10.7.5 running on a HDD which I then proceeded to encrypt using File Vault. Later, an SSD was installed and the data was cloned over from the HDD to the SSD without decrypting the disk first but everything was fine...

Hi fellow Mac OS X user, I am running Lion (10.7.5) on a mid-2011 Mac mini which boots from an extended (journaled, encrypted) partition residing on a Crucial SSD. When I tried to upgrade to El-Capitan, the system could not boot during the installation process, and I was greeted with an icon of...

Recently I found that my macbook is running out of storage and the old internal ssd is going much slower, so I decided to buy a samsung 960 pro 512GB along with 12+16 adapter to upgrade my storage. I reinstalled High Sierra on my old Apple SSD to update the BootROM, and then I switched out the...

So I got my first Apple Watch yesterday (S3 non LTE silver aluminium, 38mm). I don't care much for the grey sports band it came with and bought a berry stripe nylon band. That band is quite stiff and my skin is rather sensitive (the pressure of the watch itself is also something I'll really...

Hi, I read the report done by gilles_polysoft and http://macbidouille.com/news/2017/07/14/suite-des-tests-de-ssd-pc-dans-nos-mac, it shows that Macbook Pro Mid 2015 with third party NVMe drive is not bootable by unknown reason. After a bit of research, I found this thread...

Anybody else having an issue with using 3rd party email apps on OS X using iCloud and imap?? Works fine using Mac Mail program, but will not verify when trying to use Thunderbird or PostBox.... Just started this morning.

So, I'm super uncomfortable buying third party power adapters (fire hazard and such) but I don't want to spend $80 on a new charger for my $300 computer. Any ideas on a safe third party alternative - or a "known good" seller on Amazon or Ebay? Thanks!

Hey all, I use the Swype keyboard by Nuance as my default keyboard (yes I set it to the top of my list) but it randomly switches back all the time. I know 3rd party keyboards aren't allowed in the password fields, but usually when I go back and forth between unlocking my phone and texting, I'd...

It's a recently refurbished MacBook Pro 15" from late 2011 I tried resetting the pram with shift+commmand+p+r while powering on. Same prohibitory sign. I tried command+r. Same. I tried command+shift+r for the online recovery. Nothing. I tried holding down shift while powering on to run safe...

Hi All I know this might be a long shot but does anybody have spare links for a Gold 42mm Hoco Link Bracelet Strap. Just received one as a gift but is too small. I bought on Amazon and have searched for a way to contact the seller and Hoco to request extra links but no joy. If anybody has any...
