Hello everyone, I’m mildly obsessed with Apple products so I figured this would be the best way to find out all the new info.😁

Hello everyone!
I've joined recently, though i've been lurking for.... jeez, let's not get into that.

I'm into Apple, of course, but also tech in general. Happy to chat about anything.

I'd love to get into collecting, but I don't have the space for a bunch of extra computers. I'll just have to live vicariously though some of you!

Patiently waiting for a second-gen HomePod Mini.

Well I've been around here for a while(about 5 months), but never saw the need to post so I was always a guest. But now since macworld I needed to be a member to read the threads and well, here I am! You will probably see a lot more of me in the future...

I have been a member for a long time and need to reset my password. When I try to log in on another device it does not recognize the password I'm logged in under on this Mac. When I put in the current password it says password not found. How can I get sent a temp password to reset to a new one.

They got my account fixed. Just in case anyone else runs into this for some reason the "Forgot Password" option did not show up on my browser. They sent me a new link just to the password screen and that corrected the issue.

I have been a mac user for years. I'm on my third mac, which is a Mac Studio M1 Ultra. I almost didn't go with mac this time because of issues at the end of the life of my 2015 imac, but they had me by the balls and felt like I had no other option. I paid $4000 for a factory refurbished model with only 1TB of storage, 64 GB memory, wanted 2TB like my imac to fit all my data, but that was gonna be around $800 and I had been saving for a year and was 'a fearin' that if I didn't spend the money I may not have it later. I have used this site often over the years to gain insight on various troubleshooting and general questions. I decided it's time to join. This definitely seems like one of the better forums out there, although not really been a forum kind of person, preferring to just get the information I need and bounce. So I don't really know or understand all the "ins-and-outs". I plan on posting a question once I read more on the policies. I am seriously regretting letting Apple have my money. Thanks.

Hello,

New member, new to Macs all together. I just inherited a Mac Mini 5.1 (2011), 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD and am trying to figure out how to use it. I started another thread in the Mac Mini subforum to ask my first question.

Glad to be here, hope I might someday contribute.

Thunderbolt 1 dock for a Mac mini "Core i5" 2.3 (Mid-2011)

I have recently been given a Mac mini "Core i5" 2.3 (Mid-2011) with only a power cord. It has 8GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. I have been looking for a dock /hub for it so I can use my existing external monitors I had been using with my Windows Laptop. I am assuming I need a Thunderbolt 1 Dock. Is...

Thank you for letting me join, I am a newbie here I just wanted to reach out and say hello 👋

 

[VisceralRealist]

I'm hardly new, but I realized I never posted in this thread (I just didn't see it when I joined). So a belated introduction: My name is Eden, I'm a college student who turned 19 last fall and a long time tech enthusiast, and it's fascinating to post in a thread that was first posted two years before I was born. It's not often you see a site that's been around this long that is still going strong. I'm happy to contribute.

 

[jumpcats1234]

I joined in January so I have been using Apple products my whole life and have been rooting Android devices on XDA. I love helping people and discussing technology.

Been lurking since September.

Hello eyeyone! New memeber here but I've been a mac user for around 15 years. My current daily driver is a maxed out Mac Pro 5,1 that's still perfoming really well. I'm also an iPod collector. I've been reading macrumors forums posts for years but somehow never signed in. About time!

Hello everyone, just a new mac user finally making the switch from Windows, the battery life on the m3 air is insane.

[con2apple]

I am new here too.

Reader of the site for years. Mac User for 15 years. But still using an MacBook Pro with TouchBar from 2017 and an iPhone 11. Waiting hopefully for some must-haves like 4x zoom in the iPhone Pro (without Max) or an AV1 hardware encoder.

Have started my first thread with thoughts about new Apple displays.

 

[ProbablyDylan]

Hello! Long time listener, first time caller. 23, surviving LA, general tech enthusiast that's been sucked into the Apple ecosystem when the iPhone 11 was cheaper than Pixel 4.

Who at Google thought that was a winning strategy, anyways?
