Shadow/marks on screen

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/gaOvWue08MQVFWRE7cB0OWsSa5_E8idK0-Dq1du32cU.jpg Hi, I recently bought a refurbished MacBook, and have only now noticed small shadows/glitches on the screen. Quick google search shows a few people with similar issues, my main concern is, will it get worse? Is it a sign of a more serious problem, or do they just stay that way? I have the opportunity to return the MacBook, but 1; I got a really good deal on it, and I’d hate to miss out on that if they only offer a refund, and 2; I’ve had a really bad experience sending high cost items via couriers recently, and am still fighting to get my money back… so the thought of going through tha…

It got really hot, even though I didn’t use it. Battery stats said the Settings app was impacting battery, so I opened it and saw there’s an update (15.1). Any ideas on how to fix this or figure out what caused it? submitted by /u/iTamizhan [link] [comments]

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/CD1TF05X6rrFs_JXCePHEbDC_tOYBbBNk5N3-eC4kGE.jpg Hello, does anybody know if there´s a dock (maybe in development and not yet released) for the new Mac mini m4, like the old one from Satechi where you can put a NVME SSD and connect it via Thunderbolt. https://preview.redd.it/dzqb6dwlgn0e1.png?width=1572&format=png&auto=webp&s=c4ba302e10e04432eb8ea3bd3436d315fbf365b4 submitted by /u/ceo-entrepreneur69 [link] [comments]

Help with update

Hi everyone! Got this 2017 MacBook Air, with macOS Mojave installed. The software update gives me the option of update to macOS Monterey. I tried to do it, but it kept stuck at verifying "(null)". I searched for some solutions, and after reading some tips, followed the instructions to reset SMC and mvram. Also renamed the disk to Macintosh HD and reinstalled the macOS Mojave. But nothing worked. It keeps stuck with the veryfing "(null)" message. Do you guys had the same issue? Any help? submitted by /u/youarereallyweird [link] [comments]

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/X2qqJ3g_NARxtTQW2b0-2xDec1iwEbwVUMDlYPqkxwU.jpg Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my local files on macOS. They have a download icon next to them, and when I try to open them without an internet connection, they won't open at all. I'm not sure why this is happening, as these files are stored locally on my device. I'm on Mac Air, and my Mac is updated fully. https://preview.redd.it/6zsr214t5o0e1.png?width=436&format=png&auto=webp&s=741344d1201b261794c05308baff0c7741359a33 submitted by /u/lovevariant [link] [comments]

Are External Hard Drives Not Mounting on Sequoia
by Guest /u/Balaji_Ram- 0 replies
- 7 views
Hi Everyone, I have recently updated to Mac OS Sequoia (15.1). After that, the external hard drive I usually use for Time Machine backups isn't mounted at all. I can't see the external hard disk on the Disk Utility app as well. By touching on top of the external hard disk, I can feel that the hard disk is running internally. Previously, I had problems like the Mac OS taking little longer time to mount the hard disk. Now, it is not mounted at all even I left the Mac and hard disk for a whole night. I have looked for similar issues on Apple support page and many users faced the same issues and the suggested solutions aren't working for me. Is anyone facing the same…

Weird lines on my wallpaper?

My wallpaper cycles through some photos I’ve taken and they only seem to appear on some photos and not others. They are also on the wallpaper and they don’t show up on my widgets or overtop any of folders/documents on my desktop. Any idea what they might be? And how to get rid of them? submitted by /u/Sea-Ad9730 [link] [comments]

Having to switch to Windows for work. Need advice
by Guest /u/_______________-_-_5- 0 replies
- 7 views
I’ve been a Mac user since 2008 and haven’t used a Windows machine since 2013. Now, starting a new job, I have no choice but to use a PC. I use Alfred workflows heavily (snippets, custom search, quick dictionary and spellcheck, etc), Fantasical to sync personal and work calendars, and a host of other less important but still comfortable programs. I also really like MacOS’s window management and being able to set up different screens and workspaces. It helps me stay organized and productive. Have any of you had to make the switch for work? Any programs or tips you can recommend to make the switch easier? submitted by /u/_______________-_-_5 [link] [comments…

How to make scaling 90% zoom to fit more content on 3440x1440 Ultrawide monitor on MacOS Sequoia?
by Guest /u/AmazingExplorer698- 0 replies

Is it possible to set display to 90% or 75% zoom size on macOS Sequoia so more content can fit? I'm using a 3440 x 1440 px Ultrawide (LG) - 35-inch --- and feel that the display and text and everything (from browser to settings, icons and more) look a bit too big, especially after using MacBook's high resolution. So my question is, is it possible to set a custom resolution or some other way to fit more content on the monitor while retaining crisp quality? Already taken a quick look at SwitchResX and BetterDisplay but seems custom resolutions were supported for this monitor. Would really appreciate any insights and help into this from people who have done this …

Troubleshooting Mac Pro 3,1

I'll be using this Mac Pro and the screen will go black and the fans will rev up to maximum RPM. I have dual CPU and 32 gigs of RAM, stock Nvidia GPU. I will run AHT, extended test mode, it will never repeat what happens when the screen goes black and fans rev up. I've tried swapping RAM sticks and even tried swapping the GPU, still happens occasion. I suppose it could be power, but then if it was power, wouldn't the issue occur while running diagnostics.

Mac Pro 2019 CPU Upgrade, RAM even after PRAM Reset still at 2666 MHz despite using 2933 DIMMs
by Guest Dt990- 0 replies

Previous with my 8-Core CPU I had bought all 2933 R-DIMMs for when it came time to upgrade, and here I am, with a w3245m. Is there a trick I'm missing for getting a Mac Pro 2019 to re-register it's RAM after a CPU upgrade to 16-Core? With the old cMPs 5,1, when upgrading, you could bump the 1066 to 1333 if you had the correct DIMMs. Source: MacRumors

Hi, since I have plenty of Mac computers at my household and my 4.1 cMP (flashed to 5.1) with RX580 is used almost purely in bootcamp for gaming I decided to order RTX 3080 and try to make it work. Since it‘s possible to use 2000 series RTX with cMP I assumed 3000 series may also work. Last weekend I prepared my Mac to adopt this GPU: Pixlas mod Opencore Clean Windows 10 install (GPT EFI, no legacy boot) Moved PCIe fan to fit 320mm GPU With RX580, my Mac boots straight to...

How is my daily average screen time 32 hours?

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/V06lURC_TIXRkt6WM6QQwK08W74NsNoh6xNJjpJL8ng.jpg I’m confused on how this number is possible. The two categories I highlighted are not accurate. Firstly, I haven’t ever gone to library.nyarc.org nor been on the site for that long. Secondly, I watch youtube through safari, not the app so it shouldn’t even be listed up there. I also don’t watch that much youtube. Other relevant information: -I don’t keep my phone on when i’m sleeping so why the daily average chart shows activity for all hours, I don’t know. -My usual screen time would be around 11 hours. The bulk of it should be safari because I will play podcasts as background noise t…

Massive iMessage bug across all iCloud Devices
by Guest /u/Still-Resolve469- 0 replies
- 5 views
I’ve run into a pretty substantial bug in the messages app across both my iPhone, iPad, as well as my Apple Watch. Usually, my phone lets me text anybody I want (a pretty normal feature in a phone, if you ask me), but one of my contacts is always causing issues. For example, whenever I click on this person’s contact to message them, the iMessage app acts extremely buggy, freezes, and glitches all over the place. The exact same thing happens on my iPad Air M1 (iPhone 15 plus and Apple Watch SE 2, for context). I attempted to use my iPad to text them, but the exact same thing happened, and on my apple watch, it just constantly froze. I restarted all 3 devices, forced closed…

When I move an icon, WHY DOES EVERYTHING MOVE AND MESS UP WHERE I PLACED THINGS?! I spent hours trying to customize this and honestly, I’m so fed up, this will be my layout forever. I’d love to see others control center for no ideas! Pro Tip: Have an idea of how you want things laid out. Build what you like and take screenshots along the way, the icons will go and drive you crazy. Once you have decided exactly what you want, start from a fresh pag…
