You are likely already familiar with how to right-click on a Mac when using a Mouse or Trackpad, either by using the control+click, two-finger click, or a literal right-click, but what if you don’t have access to a mouse or trackpad, the batteries died on your mouse/trackpad, or you simply don’t use either? Thanks the ... Read More Continue reading...

Basic replacement graphics card to watch 2K & 4K movies on Mac Pro 5.1
by Guest Archetypemusic- 0 replies

Hi Mac Rumors. I've got a Mac Pro 5.1 (2010) & 30" Apple Monitor (OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra) that I'm trying to watch 1080p & 1440p video files. My poor ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card starts to blotch out with 1080p and 1440p makes it supper blotchy with un-smooth motion. I'm not a gamer or am running multiple monitors. I'm just looking for the cheapest and simplest replacement graphic card to make watching an hd movie a smooth and beautiful viewing experience. What would be great is: A boot...

iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 16 Very long story of how I got locked out of my phone but is there a way to get off all of my data from my locked iphone? Or even bypass the passcode screen? Dark web hackers? Unfortunately my iPhone hasn't been backed up in a few years so I need the data off of it. I had one retail store offer to do it for $2,000 but that isn't happening. A hacker on Craigslist is claiming he can crack passcode for $50. Any known methods? It's actually really ridiculous that apple... Read more Continue reading...

Degraded battery results in loss of features?
by Guest BostonQuad- 0 replies
- 13 views
As I explain in another thread, my phone's FaceID doesn't work in sunshine. A senior Apple support person suspects it's because my battery's health in 76%. Can battery degradation affect whether features work? Does this sound likely? I always thought battery degradation was only about having less battery life. Has anyone experienced features not working due to battery degradation? FWIW, my phone is a 13 mini, so the battery capacity is less than other phones to begin with. If...

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/TYPKVkI4ct0OXU5x10QmhxFnxHw0NDvZwQ6Bctr5l7g.jpg A while ago, you got the ability to add your alarm tho the widget section of the lockscreen (First picture, icon on the right) It worked perfectly in the beginning. since a few months Unfortunately Ios does not reccognise that i use the Apple Health Alarm instead of the default ones. You guys have the same problem? It should display the next alarm on the lockscreen, no matter of default ones or apple health. I tried multiple times turning them off and on again, or setting new ones. submitted by /u/negativphotospin_ [link] [comments]

Using photos only for sorting large amount of photos. HELP :((
by Guest /u/fjavoj- 0 replies
- 15 views
My father recently got a MacBook mainly for organizing and lightly editing his photos. I am a MacBook user myself, and I use Adobe Bridge and Lightroom for sorting and editing, but I know my father won’t be able to learn how to use those. Here’s the situation: On his external hard drive, he has around 200 folders with 300 photos in each (he is a birdwatcher), and he needs to sort and edit them. He’s a lifelong Windows user and very familiar with Windows Explorer. On Windows, you simply connect the hard drive, work with the photos, or drag them to your PC through Windows Explorer to start sorting and editing. But on a MacBook, everything feels much more complicated. …

PSA: The major Siri changes are not out yet. They're spread out over upcoming 18.2, .3, and .4 releases. Settle in for a marathon, not a sprint
by Guest /u/InfiniteHench- 0 replies
- 14 views
You can find estimated timelines for rolling out Apple Intelligence and Siri-specific features all over, and those estimates are still shifting. MacRumors has a decent one, I hear Mark Gurman has a good one in his newsletter somewhere. Example: The fun colored border animation is not in 18.1. I'm on the 18.2 developer beta (which I do NOT recommend installing) and it's there, and some timelines claim 18.2 might ship in Oct or Nov. As for Siri's abilities and intelligence, it hasn't gotten anything major in 18.1, which just dropped today. Point is: This will be a slow, gradual rollout. Timelines and whether features will make it in one update or get pushed back to an…

M1 Pro external display issues
by Guest /u/xe3to- 0 replies
- 18 views
I just got two 4K LG Ultrafine monitors for my M1 Pro 14" and unfortunately I'm having issues with lag. Sometimes the mouse drops a couple frames, and sometimes it freezes for a couple seconds before rushing through its entire path. Dragging windows and system animations often lag too. I'm guessing the M1 Pro's internal GPU just doesn't have the juice to run two 4K displays properly. Is it time to upgrade? submitted by /u/xe3to [link] [comments]
