Multi-HDD Setup like a Mac Pro for a Mac Mini
by Guest Engender- 0 replies
- 9 views
Hello everyone, My Mac Pro 4,1>5,1 was down yesterday after updating to Venture 13.7.2 using OCLP 2.2.0. I have a 2018 Mac Mini sitting in a drawer—I got it in 2021 to use in an office at a job from which I was fired in 2022. It's just been sitting there. . . Can someone recommend an external drive enclosure that I could use to house the four drives I have installed in my Mac Pro? Are there external drives like that? Basically, I'm strongly considering moving to the Mac Mini as my daily... Read more Source: MacRumors

Windows not bootable on OWC Accelsior S in 5,1?
by Guest flyproductions- 0 replies
- 8 views
So i had this Accelsior collecting dust for some time while the Windows install in my 5,1 is at one of the slow SATA-ports. Idea was to speed it up a little, at least to the SSDs potential, by using this PCIe-card. It's a Win 10 legacy install from DVD, updated to Win 11 Enterprise. It sits on it's own SAMSUNG 860 EVO 1TB. Boots fine at any of the normal SATA-ports, trays as well as in the optical departement. But with the Accelsior it just does not. Not even if it is the only... Read more Source: MacRumors

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/ZcmCxgwF-bGqrwgj6MdixOizD3OnThHTkIBFZ6Q49Us.jpg Hello, I was hoping to get some help with this as I was unable to find anything online. I’ve recently got a new internet connection and noticed that I’m unable to hit the max upload speed of 2.3gbps. I achieve the speeds however using virtual machine on the same laptop with the exact same setup. Does anyone know of a solution to this ?

Hey! I have a MacBook Air M1 and sadly bought the smallest one: With 8GB RAM and 256GB Storage. I love to work with MacOS and would love, to completely switch to MacOS. Currently, I have a Windows PC on which I mainly develop with Jetbrains Programs and sometimes play games. Now my question: Would it be to bad, to use the MacBook as a Desktop? For the storage I just would get a external drive, but I am unsure if it would a good idea with the smallest one. thanks! submitted by /u/Kaseax [link] [comments]

Is This MacBook Air Pre-used?

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/7WZF1lf2YQRHHMUvt1kQARD6jgzPVjDBnXyoblhOWBo.jpg Hi, I bought this MacBook Air M1 off Amazon a few days ago. While going through the system information, the frameworks and installations had certain elements with Install Dates from July 2024, including MacOS Sonoma 13.5, all installed at the same time — then again some frameworks (at the same time) in November 2024. Now the Air M1 was discontinued back in March, so how is this possible that these were installed in July+? Does this mean it has been refurbished? Mind you, the battery cycle count was 1. submitted by /u/Spiritual_You_7372 [link] [comments]

Noticed a small dot on my MacBook screen

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/WYd94HX9gtVjFSEJknt_4YfCi1QFFAY7fyexCDGPimU.jpg I recently spotted a small dot on my MacBook screen that isn’t dirt or dust. I ran a pixel test, and the dot is still visible, but it doesn’t change color—it’s just stuck there. Interestingly, when I take screenshots, the dot doesn’t show up. Could this be a dead or stuck pixel, or maybe something else? Any ideas on the cause and how to fix it? I’d appreciate any advice before heading to a repair center. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/RowGuilty3720 [link] [comments]

Ical backups
by Guest /u/Relative-Low3204- 0 replies
- 7 views
Hello, I was wondering, in the event of a catastrophic failure of my calendar hosting provider (Infomaniak), if I could restore my calendar locally on my Mac as I sync it with the ical app (but not with Icloud, I don't use my apple account for events). I run weekly Time Machine backups. For example, if my entire online calendar is lost and the ical client refreshes, resulting in everything being gone, could I use a Time Machine backup to restore everything, at least in a read-only state? submitted by /u/Relative-Low3204 [link] [comments]

Can I Use a MacBook Pro M2 for an IoT and Machine Intelligence Program? or installing Windows (VM software) would be better?
by Guest /u/mpower1916- 0 replies
- 6 views
Hey everyone! I’m starting a program in Internet of Things and Machine Intelligence, and the college recommends using a Windows-based laptop. However, I already have a MacBook Pro M2 and would prefer not to switch to Windows. The courses include topics like networking, data analytics, programming, embedded systems, AI applications, and robotics. so do you think using Windows on ARM via a VM software like Parallels would work on these courses? and Has anyone taken a similar program or used a Mac for this kind of coursework? Did you encounter major challenges, or is it manageable? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/mpower1916 [link] [comments]

Help needed to upgrade 2017 imac with ssd
by Guest /u/epicenthusiast007- 0 replies

Hi all, I own a mid-2017 iMac 27-inch with 40GB RAM (upgraded) and a 1TB Fusion Drive. I realize that upgrading the internal storage is also crucial for my workflow as a photographer. I seek advice on the best course of action for replacing the Fusion Drive with an SSD. Here is the situation: I already own a Samsung NAND 860 EVO 500GB SSD purchased five years ago for a Windows PC build that I never completed. I am considering replacing the Fusion Drive with this SSD. However, 500GB may be insufficient for my storage needs as a photographer. Thus, I am exploring the option of upgrading to a 1TB SSD instead. My questions: Is replacing the internal HDD in the …
