Hi. Merry Christmas, happy new year. On Boot Camp, Windows, the Epic Games "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", has anyone fixed an issue whereby only Lara Croft's hair is pixelating? It's using DirectX 11, the maximum of the iMac's M395 GPU (2GB GPU RAM). I tried the Graphics settings, I lowered the...

There is a place where I can get an M1 Mac Book Pro with 16GB Ram, and 512GB storage for $1,299.00. Or I can get a Windows Device with an RTX 3050, AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB Ram, 512GB Storage with a 15.6in 144fps display for $1,099. AS a die-hard Apple Sheep that likes to game. Should I get the Mac, or...

Running emulated Intel apps for my work on virtualised Insider ARM build of Windows. Am I going to have headaches, or will I be fine? I know people run Parallels just fine on 8GB Macs, so 16GB RAM should be plenty. Please share your experience with Parallels running on Apple silicon.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry to start a new thread here about that but can't find the one I followed... it was a 300+ pages one about installing windows on a Mac Pro 5,1. it's been months I haven't been here and every threads on this subject seem to be talking about open core (with is not the method...

Just wondering if someone could point me towards a real simple "idiot's guide" (if such a thing exists?) to setting up Open Core? I have a 5,1 cMP on Mojave with an RX480 & I want to be able to dual boot into Windows. From what I've seen so far it doesnt seem "too" complicated, but I always...

This is a poll. If forced, would you pick Apple to abandon computers or mobile devices, under a hypothetical situation? A recent thread questioning what seems like more hype over the upcoming MacBook event than the recent iPhone event made me curious about something. I have my own reasons why...

Hey all. Yesterday, I backed up my iPhone Xs (256 gb) to iTunes in hopes of restoring it with the backup before iOS 15 releases. The backup process went by smoothly, albeit slow, but with no problems. However, after attempting to restore the backup to my device, I was hit with an error that...

Hello! I recently bought an old Mac Pro 1,1 I managed to get it working with a Windows copy. However when messing around with the hard drive portions I somehow made it worse. Long story short I got a clean hard drive with no operating system and have no idea how to get in to “bios”/ Efi to...

I'm a long-time PC user planning to switch to a iMac. I am a hobby photographer and have a large collection (approx 0.5TB) of Jpegs and RAW files that I want to be able to access on my new iMac. They are stored on my PC in a folder structure that I need to preserve (or at least transfer to an...

When I open my MacBook after its been asleep on battery a few hours, I get presented a black screen and takes 20s-30s become responsive. Once it's awake, it says "Passcode required to enable TouchID". Caps lock + keyboard brightness don't work during this either. I've had this issue before on...

I'm replacing an old Windows laptop with a new one and need to make sure that I keep a previous iPhone backup that I have saved in iTunes. Right now, that backup, shows up as it should when I click Preferences and then click the Devices tab. It lists the iPhone model and the date the backup was...

Note: I am new to Mac OS. I have noticed from time to time, I may have a screen open, example Safari. As I go to move the window, it is almost as if the bottom part of it is stuck to the Dock. I have to keep trying to move the window, till eventually it moves. Any reason why this happens...

I am new to Mac OS. Hence, my question below. When opening applications, is there a way to have them always open in the same position on the screen? Example, when opening TextEdit in particular, the window never seems to open in the same position. Then again, the likes of Chrome and Email seems...

Apologies if this is a double post or covered elsewhere, but most of what I saw was relating to dual boot setups. I’ve got a Mid-2012, Mac Pro5,1, A1289(EMC 2629) lying around that I’d like to use exclusively with Windows for gaming. I realize it’s probably not the best computer when it comes...

Recently I bought old Mac mini from 2006 and I want to install 4 gb of ram in it and core 2 duo cpu. I upgraded cpu and then I googled that I need to upgrade the firmware to 2.1 for 4 gb of ram. So I used dosdude1 utility and successfully upgraded to 2.1, all was fine but I decided to install...

I've been playing around with AMD64/x86-64 emulation using QEmu via the UTM app. My initial use was Ubuntu 20.04 to assess the performance potential for someone who wants to emulate either Linux or Windows on Apple Silicon and specifically the M1. I'm testing on my M1 16GB/1TB MacBook Air. I've...

Lately, I've been trying to create a bootable USB drive with Windows installed on it that I can plug into and boot on my MacBook Pro. I followed this tutorial to the word, right up the part where he modifies the boot security settings to permit booting from external sources. My Mac is old enough...

Hi, Keen photographer moving from Windows (AMD 2400g with 16gb ram) to Mac and need some advice please. I am looking at buying a new Macmini M1 and have watched many videos on advantages of 8g vs 16g models but I'm still somewhat confused. I use Lightroom and photoshop but neither excessively...
