Newb here: copy/paste and other keys
by Guest /u/Whit3boy316- 0 replies
- 6 views
I figured out ti to change the copy/paste commands to use cntrl rather than cmnd but I can’t figure out how to set undo (cntrl z), redo (cntrl y), etc. I think I have the command name wrong but I’m sure. Any help would be appreciated. I also saw I could swap the functions of cntrl rather than and cmnd but scared to do that in case I fallow interactions in the future to do something and forget they are swapped submitted by /u/Whit3boy316 [link] [comments]

Basically hoping to view the Photos library from my time machine backup on an external hard drive. I don't want to save all of them on my MacBook though because I don't have enough storage to save it all on my MacBook, I'm just hoping to preview them. Is there anyway to do that? submitted by /u/soame [link] [comments]

M3 Air vs M1 vs iPad Pro?
by Guest /u/geecol- 0 replies
- 6 views
I do some freelance design work using Adobe Creative Cloud. Nothing major, but I’ve been using a base M1 MacBook Air alongside a 2018 iPad Pro 11” from 2018 with a Pencil 2 and Magic Keyboard. I realise they’re aging so considering upgrading. I am getting a M4 Min base for Christmas but I’m paying £250 towards it. I have a monitor and keyboard etc already, and it was annoying me docking my Air all the time so this gets me a full desktop again. I do wish to have something portable though. My options are; Trade the M1 against an MacBook Air base as it comes with 16GB RAM now, and make do with my iPad. Trade the iPad against an M4 Pro, get another Magic Keyboa…

Do you buy a new Mac every year? If so, why?
by Guest /u/Apawllo24- 0 replies
- 8 views
I check up on rumor sites every now and again just to see if there's anything interesting coming out (usually not), and I see people pretty frequently complaining that the new MacBooks or Mac isn't that much faster than the previous model. From where I sit with my use case and everyday usage, I'm going to have this laptop for at least 5 years before upgrading. Also, I do believe we're not going to see a massive jump in processing power every year. Sure, I'd like to see a nice upgrade in 5 years, but yearly is a short time frame to gain a 30% performance. To those who do upgrade your Mac yearly why do you choose to do so? submitted by /u/Apawllo24 [link] [comment…

Laptop Battery Repair Experience
by Guest /u/thrilsika- 0 replies
- 7 views
A quick note regarding a recent experience at the Genius Bar. I brought in my laptop MBP 2020 4 Thunderbolt ports to have the battery replaced, and during the diagnostic test, I was informed that the logic board might also need repair. This significantly raised the estimated cost, even though it seemed the issue could potentially be resolved by simply replacing the battery. I decided to take the laptop home, purchased a battery, and successfully completed the repair myself—for a third of the price quoted (I am aware apple always charges more). This experience has shaken my confidence in the Genius Bar’s recommendations, as the additional repair was unnecessary in this …

Should I worry about the ~90'C temps on the CPU? Sometimes I use Mac Fan Controls app to run fans on max speed and it somehow reduces temp but I can hear the fans all the time. What do you think? What are your temps during moderate usage of your M-series chips? submi…

Mac mini m4 for a Photographer
by Guest /u/Itamar69- 0 replies
- 7 views
Been a windows user my whole life, and needs to upgrade my 7 year old PC. With the recent release of the m4 mac minis I'm really tempted to move to a mac mini because of the efficiency and the size (I really want a tiny computer that has a small footprint on my desk). However, I find it very difficult to understand what configuration fits my needs the best, and would like to get some advice. I'm a photographer, and pretty much the most intense use I get is when I'm editing on LrC and maybe having a few tabs opened in the background. Sometimes I also edit 4k videos on Premier Pro. My current computer has an intel i7-7700 CPU and 32gb DDR4 1200MHz ram (which, to my…

2020 Mac Pro

Hey guys, I’ve used my macbook pro all throughout undergrad. It still hasn’t gotten slow which is great. However I am unable to connect my icloud / phone to my mac all of a sudden. There’s hundreds maybe thousands of slideshows and documents I have downloaded for school that I’ll never look at again upon graduation. Do you guys think hard resetting my mac would help me 1 connect my phone and 2 make it less of a pain to maneuver? Here in a few years I’ll likely buy a real PC mac but for the time being I’m not sure what to do with my current laptop. submitted by /u/Few_Beautiful_871 [link] [comments]

Screen share instead of upgrading Laptop
by Guest /u/Cyprus-mule- 0 replies
- 7 views
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with all the bells and whistles, and was thinking of upgrading as it sounds like a blow dryer when editing my videos. I was thinking of getting the latest MBP but then watched a video on screen sharing. I generally don’t take my laptop out the house, but mainly use it around the house so, like in the living room when my wife is watching 90 day fiancé and I fear brain rot if I do the same. But it occurred to me, that there might be another option. What if I bought a more powerful Mac Studio, and used the MBP around the house as a remote screen for my Studio? This would theoretically mean all the processing would be done on the Studio. …

Apple Studio display with missing thunderbolt cable
by Guest /u/sta6- 0 replies
- 7 views
So I bought a used Apple Studio Display (Nanotexture) and that piece looks premium. Very happy with the purchase and the price 1200€ for a barely used display. However the seller "forgot" to add the thunderbolt cable that the studio comes with per default. While I am working with him on a resolution, I found some standard usb-c cable and plugged that in. It works. However I have no idea of knowing: Is this performance I am getting now through the usb-c cable the same I would be getting through a thunderbolt? Or are there some differences? In the settings it says the current resolution is "2560 x 1449 (Default)". So what I essentially want to know: Do I …

A few days ago my iPhone started restarting several times throughout the day. I don't recall installing any update recently, and do not recall any recent damage to the phone.

Attached is the panic log citing a 'ring buffer abort'. iPhone is backed up and running the latest iOS update. What should I do next? Continue reading...

Video storage

My wife has years of photos and videos on her iPhone. We want to store them on a physical device. We have tried an Ixpand flash drive, but errors keep occurring. Would an iPhone straight to an external hard drive be better or do I have to put them on a PC first, then transfer to a hard drive? Would buying an IMac be a better option of going Apple to Apple? Looking for a long term storage option and to eventually put them on a dvd or some device for viewing and to pass them down? Thanks for... Read more Continue reading...

I can't figure out why my iPhone isn't charging overnight
by Guest spaceballl- 0 replies

Screenshot pasted below. This is pretty consistent. Here's what happens. I have low battery in the evening, and I plug the iPhone in. In this case, it was actually on a MagSafe charger. I wake up in the morning, and the battery is still super low. I have no idea why. Then if I pick the phone up and charge it anywhere else at any point during the day, it will charge to full. I do NOT have optimized charging turned on. Why is it only charging to 45%? I'd appreciate any insight and help here... Read more Continue reading...

Emergency Alerts

In common with many in Wales and some in England, my phone received an emergency alert before Storm Darragh. First one I've ever had (except when they did a test run some time back). Apart from being surprised, fine. But I also got an IOS alert asking "Do you want to add [number] to iMessage and FaceTime?". And the number displayed was Swedish. Took me a while to realise this is the phone number of my own data-only multi-network SIM. (I use an eSIM for my main carrier because multi-network not... Read more Continue reading...
