Considering the Open Core Upgrade
by Guest pwillis- 0 replies
- 5 views
Hey Folks! I'm considering an Open Core upgrade but first I wanna ensure that my machine is ready for one. The "disk0s4" (untitled) is currently being used as a Windows boot drive in order to use a Gigabyte "Titan" Thunderbolt PCi Card with my Apollo 8xP audio interface. I have two objectives in mind that I'm hoping to achieve by upgrading to Open Core: 1) Not have to soft boot into Windows every time I startup. 2) Be able to upgrade to more recent versions of Mac OS's.

iPhone 13 pro silent switch slightly moves vertically
by Guest Tomb97- 0 replies
- 5 views
I recently bought my iPhone 13 pro. While I was cleaning it with a cloth I heard a clicking sound from the silent/ring switch. So I found out that the switch slightly moves vertically, about half a millimeter up and down, making a clicking sound. I asked some friends to check this thing on their phones. An iPhone 12 does the same, while an iPhone 12 Pro and an iPhone 13 don’t. I don’t know if I should consider this little “problem” normal, or at least acceptable, or not. Please, if you can...

Severe WiFi issues with iPhone 13 Pro Max
by Guest RealSkyDiver- 0 replies
- 5 views
Several times a day my phone exhibits bizarre WiFi issues where it either doesn’t connect or the speed is severely throttled. None of my other WiFi connected devices including my iPads show this problem and updating my phone didn’t solve the issue either. Could this be a hardware related problem? I never experienced anything like this before. Continue reading...

iCloud backup missing most recent messages and Watch issues
by Guest 2PuttBogey- 0 replies
- 2 views
Setting up my new 14PM and my iCloud backup was as of 2:25 pm. When it was finished all of my phone calls up to that point were included however my messages were cutoff at 9:17 am. Any messages after then did not come over to my new phone even though I can see them on my old phone and my iPad. Additionally, when I paired my Watch with the new phone the messages all display in a crazy order. I have messages from July, then September, then August, etc as I scroll down. They are no longer...

My iPhone 12 Pro won't turn on at all. No physical damage. Hard reset does not work. Neither lighting cable or wireless charging works. Genius Bar can't even diagnose problem, they get error message that "Phone won't turn on." The tech there told me "this happens all the time". Phone is a little over 1 1/2 years old, several months past warranty, and Apple is telling me they won't help out in any way. They recommended a repair that is about $500, with no guarantee that it will actually fix... Read more Continue reading...

Hello, I am having an issue with the booting process of Monterey through OCLP while plugging in the sonnet 4x4 pcie card. I have a mac 5,1 , RX580 8gb, booting Monterey with OCLP 0.6.1 is just fine.

I tried to reset the NVRAM but nothing seems to work. I tried to see if some post patches were missing on OCLP but... Read more Source: MacRumors

"Download and install" greyed out
by Guest sjshaw- 0 replies
- 7 views
On half of my devices, the option to "download and install" the latest iOS and iPadOS updates is greyed out and cannot be selected; therefore, I cannot download the update. Of course, it says, "This update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download," but the catch is, all my devices are on my Wi-Fi network, but half can update and half can't. Fixes tried: reboot; turn off Private Relay; disconnect and reconnect Wi-Fi; try it plugged in... nothing works. Any ideas? Continue reading...

iPhone loses app screens
by Guest Crowbot- 0 replies

A funny thing happened while I was on vacation. I usually have three screens of apps on my phone. With no notice, screens two and three went away, leaving me with just the main screen and the "App Library" screen. I changed wallpaper and that seemed to fix it but it happened again, even after setting up a new wallpaper pair. It's been stable for a couple of days but I'd like to hear from anyone who may know what's going on. Continue reading...

Online storage services (not iCloud) to move photos and videos to?
by Guest /u/aix369- 0 replies
- 11 views
I've maxed out my iCloud storage and don't want to pay $10 a month for more. Are there any other cloud storage services where I can select heavy files and just move them? I want to move them off of my computer and iPhone. The thing that is confusing me is that most of the services sync the devices whereas what I want to do is move the heavy files off my devices. Any thoughts? submitted by /u/aix369 [link] [comments]

I launched it, connected an external hard drive to pass some files, disconnected it, opened premiere pro, connected my headphones, tried to change the volume but I could not do it (there was a icon instead of the volume bar), opened Safari, wrote 2 letters and then: The screen image to glitch, like color noise, lines, that stuff, and it restarted. Since then, every time I try to start the mac, the bar is stuck before it’s half. Is there anything I can do that do not involve loosing all the data? submitted by /u/GabyLayLuke [link] [comments]

Sequoia on the 5,1
by Guest flyproductions- 0 replies
- 12 views
Now, that OCLP 2.0.0 is out, i gave the latest Beta of Sequoia a try on my 5,1 Single, which i have to tinker around with new OSes etc. Worked fine after running the root patches. WIFI, Polaris GPU, BT, all fine! ...but migrating the user from the former Sonama install results in a bootloop. No matter if the migration was initiated from the installation-process or later from the running system. Any known solutions fo this? Or is this just not possible? Source: MacRumors
