upgrade

For the past couple of months, I've had to reset my apple watch to upgrade to the new os or to even pair it to my iPhone 11 pro max. Today it wouldn't detect my iPhone so I ran another reset, but now it fails to pair at all (It tries to pair then unpairs) and is now stuck on the setup screen. I...

I am seriously considering buying the new Mac Mini (2023) with the standard M2 chipset. However, as a student (using the discount), I can not afford to upgrade all the way. I am capable of affording only one upgrade which I would very much like. The following are the options: I can upgrade the...

Hey everybody after many years resisting, today I wanted to give in and update from OS X mojave to big spur. However even though I would instal on the same disk as Mojave is on, it says not formatted to APFS How is that possible that the one operating system is working for years and now a new...

Hello all, I am looking to update an iMac from Mid 2011 up to OS Monterey. However, I do need to update the wifi card that is present in the mac. Before I purchase these items, I just want to check with the community if these are the correct items to buy or if there is a better option...

Hello, Yesterday I made an experiment. I tried to put Core 2 Duo T7200 onto a MacBookPro1,1 820-1993 logic board in place of the original Core Duo T2500. The result is successful! In the future maybe I will try to put a faster CPU like T7600. It's the fastest Merom CPU available and Penryn...

I was a decade long Android user who in 2019 switched from my Pixel 2 XL to the iPhone 11. I’m all Apple these days and can get a good deal on a 14 Pro Max upgrade. My wife and I have been using our 11s with honestly no issues, with the only exception of not having zoom in the camera. I’m a...

Hello Apple and Windows Boot Camp (and actual PC) friends. I had to fresh install Windows, it's a legitimate license for Windows 8.0 Pro (says the digital receipt), how do I preserve my license (activation not a problem) from upgrading to 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro (it needs 8.1 to upgrade to...

Hello, Does anyone know if you can change your iPhone order to the Upgrade option? I wasn't an option at checkout and Apple said to call them back when I get the phone. Has anyone tried changing to the upgrade plan after the fact? Just wondering what my luck would be. Thanks!

Hi, Im planing to upgrade my mums main computer; she currently uses a G5 tower from around 2005, but it's not really able to go online reliably anymore and the DVI to ADB adapter keeps cutting out. I have a relatively clear idea of what my plan is but I figured I'd post here to check if anyone...

Hi Apple & Mac friends. Which is a better way to run Windows 10 or 11 off a Late 2015 5K iMac (model has Fusion Drive, Thunderbolt 2 only; the SSD and hardisk were deliberately separated, it's not "fused" anymore) which has a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface (I don't mind opening the iMac and buying that...

My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

I got a MacBook 13 2014 which is working well as I changed the battery out. Since it is in the A1466 model, is it possible to upgrade it by swapping the dual-core 2014 logic board to a 2017 logic board? Will there be no hardware or software compatibility issues?

Hi Guys. I tried to use a flashed Radeon 7950 (model in subject) on my MacPro 1,1 (2006) flashed to 2,1 and running El Capitan (OSX 10.11.6). With the 7950, the system gives the boot screen and reaches the login screen without any problems. This, however, is where the issues start. As soon...

I don't have any practical reason for doing so - my M1 was perfectly fine. I sold my M1 MBA, just ordered an M2 MBA, and I feel like a kid at Christmas. Tech is a hobby of mine. I like the latest and greatest gadgets, and don't mind spending money on them. It's certainly not from any kind of...

Hi guys, Ive got (what once was) a working mac pro 4.1 flashed to 5.1 and bought a pair of used x5690s on ebay. I wanted to upgrade the stock CPUs to the x5690s on my dual cpu mac pro. Im aware that these must be delidded to avoid thermal problems, however, prior to delidding i wanted to test...

In this thread, my goal is to discuss the procedures, compatibility, and nuances with regard to upgrading soldered onboard memory on Intel-based Macintosh systems.

Hi everyone! I posted a bit ago about my current 2015 Early 2015 Macbook Pro (2.9 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 w/ 8GB RAM & 512GB SSD).

Hi all, I upgraded Mojave to Big Sur yesterday. (2018 Mac Mini) On first launch, Mail displayed the usual "updating database" message. No error messages, but: all Mails for all accounts are now gone. I have a full backup (Carbon Copy Cloner), so I'm not breaking a sweat (yet). I tried...
