The Mac Pro 3,1 that I recently acquired has been upgraded to High Sierra (dosdude1 patch). I happened to have a Radeon RX460 (2gb) laying around. This is the generic PC, non-Mac flashed, version. If I wanted to replace the Radeon HD 2600XT in the MP (or add the RX460) what would be the best way to go about it? Thank you in advance! Source: MacRumors

Advice on Multiple Apple IDs on Single Device
by Guest ericinboston- 0 replies

Hi all. I've searched around for this topic and haven't been able to find anything that answers my questions about using multiple Apple IDs on a single device. I have a 10 year old child who has the last iPod Touch with iOS 15.4.1 installed. No Apple ID is logged into iOS or anything on the device. However, I used my Apple ID to install a few games a few months ago. I also put some music on his Touch via my computer using my Apple ID. But again, nobody is logged into the device right now...

Advice on removing former friends Mac from my account
by Guest /u/foxmercia- 0 replies
- 8 views
I set up a (now former) friends 24 inch M3 iMac for them recently. I actually initially logged on to it with my own Apple account to test it/update/install some apps before I had their account details to log in with their account. I then set their account up and have handed the machine over. The machine has my account and theirs on it - both of which have administrators privileges. They are using it fine with their account login. I don’t speak to the ex-friend anymore. My questions are: 1 - Does Apple think I own the machine now? 2- if I delete the iMac from my account will it cause any issues for the machine? 3- if I delete it from my account will it be a …

by Guest glawrie- 0 replies
- 5 views
I have a moderately updated 5,1 Mac Pro - currently with a generic USB3 PCI-e card providing four additional fast USB ports. I now need to connect a USB-C device to the machine. I am not sure whether it is better to use a USB-A to USB-C converter plug or to add an additional (or replacement) PCI-e card with USB-C port(s). Grateful for any suggestions / ideas etc. Source: MacRumors

I’m looking to replace the graphics card in my MP early 2008 (3,1 I believe). I’m thinking of buying an ATI Radeon HD 5870 on eBay, but I’ve never done this before so want to make sure it’s compatible, and also want to ask what I need to install it, like specifically what cables or accessories or tools? MP early 2008, El Capitan. Thanks. Source: MacRumors

I'm getting my wife an M1 MacBook Air to upgrade from her old Windows laptop that is in pretty bad condition. She's hesitant about switching away from Windows, but I am a long-time Mac user and know it'll be better for just about everything she uses a laptop for (school, browsing, basic stuff, but occasional dabbling in video or photo editing, which is also better on a Mac) + will make helping her with stuff easier. Not to mention her old laptop can't be used off a charger and Apple Silicon... Read more Continue reading...

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/IZz4yCw4whAqGOalG_FdYP5lPtC3HichKo-KDdMHKpY.jpg My 2015 MacBook Pro was the greatest tech I ever purchased. I used it daily for work and making YouTube videos and it never gave me issues. I truly love this machine and will always keep it. Honestly it still handles everything I throw at it, the ONLY reason I am upgrading is due to video rendering times. Thank you Apple for making a reliable friend that improved my life in so many ways. Thank you, 2015 MacBook Pro, you will never be forgotten submitted by /u/WarriorTier1 [link] [comments]

After moving User folder to separate internal drive, My Mac Pro 7,1 Resets associated apps for file types
by Guest digimax425- 0 replies
- 5 views
Ever since I moved my user folder to a separate internal drive (using a PCIe m.2 adapter), whenever I set any app to be the default for certain file types or in settings, it resets them to the defaults every time I reboot. For example, after I boot up, Outlook is no longer the default email client, and Chrome is no longer the default browser; I must reset these settings each time. I know it has something to do with launchctl/services, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help is much... Read more Source: MacRumors

After updating to 18.1, I've constantly had connection issues with Safari
by Guest /u/mkwlink- 0 replies

So updated to 17.6 beta. There were constant popups and Minecraft wasn't installing, so yesterday evening I decided to update to 18.1 just to try it out. Now I'm constantly having network issues with Safari. 4G connection, all four bars, so not about my network, it's a Safari problem. Websites don't load at all or take an enormously long time to load. Any suggestions? submitted by /u/mkwlink [link] [comments]

After updating to iOS 18.1 my gf cannot open the messages app

Whenever she tries to open the messages app, it just sits on a black screen for 15-30 seconds and then crashes. This also happens when she tries to access any setting related to the messages app in settings, it turns the screen black and crashes the app. She has tried restarting her phone, resetting her phone, and she’s currently on call with Apple but from what I’ve read online this was an issue in the past and they’re no help.

After upgrading to OCLP/Ventura external SSD/RAID not showing up!
by Guest safari70- 0 replies

Hi all, so I upgraded my MP6,1 to Ventura last night using OCLP default settings, all working well except an LMP Thunderbox 400 RAID (TB2) enclosure with 4 SSDs configured in passthrough mode (i.e. no RAID volume is created, just 4x individual SSDs). This was working fine in Monterey, mounting the 4x SSDs without any issue. Now in Ventura the LMP box shows a red status light (indicating something is not working) and no SSDs get mounted. However, when I connect that same box to an older Mac... Read more Source: MacRumors
