Charging my phone with a MacBook while the MacBook is plugged into its own charger.
by Guest /u/_Red_Triangle_- 0 replies
- 8 views
Hello! I'm using my MacBook in a library where I can plug it in a socket so it never drains the battery while I'm working with it. My issue is that the sockets are limited in the library and if I want to charge my phone I have to either plug it into the MacBook or pull the laptop out and plug the phone in. So the question is: Can I use my MacBook while it's plugged in to charge my phone? MacBook plugged into the socket, phone is plugged into the MacBook. Does it hurt the battery or can the laptop just route the power through itself without using the battery? My main concern is that the laptop uses the battery to charge the phone and not the energy provided by …

What resolution do you use your Studio Display at?
by Guest /u/robsonj- 0 replies
- 4 views
I recently purchased a Studio Display to replace one of my ViewSonic 4K 27” which I ran at native resolution. However as I get older I need text to be larger and crisper. So on receiving the studio display I set it to the recommended 1440p resolution. Everything looked great, except I found it a little too cramped. So I switched it to one of the hybrid resolutions of 3200x1800 which gives my a little more real estate, slightly larger UI than the old 4K running at native, and I still find it to be very crisp, not blurry. So I was wondering, do other people use these intermediate resolutions? Or stick strictly to the 1440p resolution? I read so much about the inter…

Can't decide between Air M3 or MacMini M4
by Guest /u/Legal_Cow_6852- 0 replies

I already own a Macbook Air M1, but the RAM on it is causing me a lot of trouble. I purchased that laptop when it came out and I have the entry level configuration. My workflow: I work as a manager and have a lot of calls where my camera is always on, I share screen a lot and I always have multiple tabs open in Figma. I'm editing and creating files all the time, but most of them happens on the browser as my company uses GSuite. For the last few months, doing all three at the same time has not been possible. I checked in activity monitor and it seems the trouble is always the RAM being full. I tried switching between browsers from Chrome to Safari and even Firefox b…

Bootcamp mishap
by Guest /u/Aico1124- 0 replies
- 4 views
Hi so I created a bootcamp partition for windows on my mac today and while waiting for it to install on the windows side, I had accidentally removed the power cord and so my laptop restarted. Now I tried opening my laptop again and it had been able to open the bootcamped windows partition, however it appears that the restart had corrupted my mac partition. I'm now sort of panicking since most of my data is in the mac partition. Can anyone give suggestions on what to do? submitted by /u/Aico1124 [link] [comments]

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/T50k-ARJyRNznYaNpUuLQW5prZOHn6al0t-lhXOeO_s.jpg EDIT: I actually solved this myself moments after posting but hopefully this helps someone else some day. So the description of the solution is below at the end of post. I have a new M4 Mac Mini runing OS 15.1.1 and trying to set up Time Machine back-ups on a new WD My Passport Ultra for Mac drive. But when I try to format the drive for Time Machine it tells me it can't unmount the drive because it's in use (it's not, not by me). And then I go to Disk Utility to unmount the drive and it tells me the same thing. So I try to use Disk Utility to Erase and reformat the drive and it gives m…

I was recently gifted a new MacBook Pro for my birthday a few months back. I’m currently paying for AppleCare+ on that laptop as well as my old one (MB Air 13 inch Retina display), which I probably won’t ever use again. Should I keep paying for AppleCare+ on my old laptop?

keyboard recommendations?
by Guest nucl30us_m- 0 replies
- 6 views
Hey all, I'm new to iPhone and wondering what are some good options for a keyboard to replace the standard one? I want something with a number row and long-press punctuation, so I don't have to switch screens every time I type a comma. Considering Gboard and Swiftkey, but would rather not give Google or Microsoft access to my keystrokes...Also don't need predictive text or any of that stuff, just a simple keyboard with a fuller feature set than what the Apple one offers. Any recommendations? Continue reading...

Lingering intl phone number... ?
by Guest phospholipid- 0 replies

My friend was in another country for a time, and now her international number is lingering in my ecosystem. I'm looking for any tips how to make it go away. My bestie went to Spain. We live in the US. While she was there, she was using a Spanish SIM. I added that number to her contact card so that when we texted, it would come up as her. Now she's back, and I can't get rid of that number. I've removed it from her contact card. That change has synced to all of my devices. However, whenever... Read more Continue reading...

What actual reasons do Apple have for not introducing a global back gesture
by Guest /u/sbut87201- 0 replies
- 7 views
I don’t see how they can logically explain the current inconsistency as beneficial to anyone for any reason. What possible drawbacks could there be for introducing a global back gesture preferably from either side of the screen? I’m not moaning here I’m just genuinely interested what’s stopping them from implementing a simple idea that to me most people just seems objectively better? submitted by /u/sbut87201 [link] [comments]

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/aRhAmwS4EuSVV28Ft3L3JSGzUpIRCMCJEAlWGt2q5hQ.jpg I’ve managed to make a fully functioning and not too bad looking app with little to no knowledge using AI. I’ve used cursor ai and xcode to make a car spotting app for me and my friends. You upload a photo or video (for videos a frame is taken from the beginning middle and end due to API limitations) compressed to >3mb (again API limitations) and sent to a free number plate recognition API (free version can only handle still photos hence the frame grabbing step), originally designed for car park monitoring i believe. the plate is then displayed. The plate is then sent to a vehicle d…

Hi, I just got a new phone SE with iOS18.1.1, and it is extremely slow and laggy. It can take multiple seconds for it to respond to simple things like pressing lock/unlock, open an an app or writing a text. I’ve read that some ppl had issues with 18.1. Is that issue still known for 18.1.1? Any ideas on what I could do to speed the phone? submitted by /u/Lithiriana [link] [comments]

iMessage & Contact Card Issue
by Guest /u/fiori254- 0 replies
- 6 views
My texts with my husband have been messed up ever since the ios18 update. I have two phone numbers associated with his contact card: 1) his personal cell 2) his work cell (both iPhones). I have his personal cell set as the preferred/starred contact. However, whenever I go to text him, it always defaults to his work cell. Additionally, whenever I get a text from his personal cell, on the notification it shows up as his phone number only, not his contact name. However, when I open the text or look back at my messages, the texts are all associated with his contact card name. I know many others are experiencing this bug as well with ios18, but wondering if anyone has found a …
