iMessage Question
by Guest /u/CrypticSoldier- 0 replies
- 3 views
So for the longest time I've been using BlueBubbles to text my iPhone friends, which has been utilizing a mac mini, and my apple ID to send and receive the texts. All of my friends have my phone number. Only my apple ID was able to send and receive texts through iMessage. Since iOS 18 is finally our, and my friend group finally updated, I have abaonded BlueBubbles. I went on my Mac and signed out of imessage. I also dug out my old iPhone and disabled iMessage on it. Is this enough or is there something else I need to do? I just want to make sure that if they text me, it'll go to my phone number and not my apple ID, so I don't miss texts. I also went through…

Every so often, someone on r/Mac and r/macOS asks why their Mac is 1080p and not 4K. I wrote and published a blog post to hopefully make it easier.

M4 Pro and 4k120 over thunderbolt (May return my new M4 MBP)

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/vM-RhnObr9WU2tG0uNvsgZFSu4N6ySOw7NZ7fDAkK2E.jpg Image 1 is my external monitor on my new MBP M4 Pro. The 2nd image is my M1 pro. No 120hz option with scaling enabled. At native resolution (more space) it shows up but drops out every 20 seconds at 120hz. I use an owc thunderbolt 3 dock, DP connected to the dock. All worked fine on my M1 Pro. Pretty much a deal breaker for me. Not paying to upgrade to a snappier machine if I have to run 60hz. Any ideas before I return my new beautiful new Mac? submitted by /u/Danthemanz [link] [comments]

Looking forward to upgrading the fusion drive to a straight up NVME and seeing how well it runs after shoehorning a more modern Mac OS on there. with 16 gi…

Switching from M1 Mini to M3 Air
by Guest /u/BlndDlerB- 0 replies
- 5 views
Med student here. I've had a Mac Mini M1 for a few years now and I wanted to change it because I need a laptop for college + sometimes I like to study outside. It isn't the end of the world if I unlock these workflows but it will be much better and easier for my studies if I do. The reason I need an M3 is because I have a dual monitor set up at home and M1 / M2 doesn't work with them unless you buy the pros and that is serious overkill for me. 2 questions here Do you think it is a good idea to change to an M3 or should I stick to my M1? Then I use my phone for lectures at college and dont study outside occasionally... Does the M3 have a good dual monitor suppor…

2020 M1 Macbook not connecting to any internet?
by Guest /u/vitalitruvia- 0 replies
- 5 views
Hi. My laptop has suddenly decided to no longer connect to any internet network. I live in student halls and use that network as my main one, I woke up one morning to my Mac telling me it was an 'unauthorised' network. I then tried connecting to my mobile hotspot, it connected but with no internet. Since then I've tried others and have had no luck. I had an almost identical situation with my PC, which was resolved by plugging a wifi receiver into it at all times - I refuse to believe that a relatively new macbook needs a usb wifi dongle in it all the time. any ideas? thanksss submitted by /u/vitalitruvia [link] [comments]

Recommendations for switching from Windows to Mac for programming
by Guest /u/Fun-Nefariousness-42- 0 replies
- 8 views
Hi everyone, I'm thinking about switching from a Windows environment to a Mac and I would like some recommendations. I primarily use it for programming But first what model do you recommend? I'm looking for a computer with good power to handle large projects and multitasking without any issues. I've heard good things about MacBooks, but I'm not sure which one is best for my needs. Also, if you have any tips on switching environments, software compatibility, or initial setup for programming on macOS, that would be a great help! Thanks in for your recommendations. submitted by /u/Fun-Nefariousness-42 [link] [comments]

Buying Mac Mini M4 Base
by Guest /u/l1s9- 0 replies
- 5 views
I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini M4 Base. I don't actually need it as I currently have a Macbook Air M1 Base and a Windows gaming PC (R7 5800x, 6700xt). I'm currently in the last few months of my studies and I'm only writing my final thesis. I use the Macbook Air the least at the moment as I work almost exclusively from home. I don't want to sell it until I've finished my Master's thesis, as I'll be spending a few more hours in the library. I don't use it as a desktop replacement at home because I can only connect one external display and I always work with two external displays. My idea was to solve this ‘problem’ with the Mac Mini. The performance of the base …

Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread
by Guest /u/AutoModerator- 0 replies
- 3 views
General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki: Battery health Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern. Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD re…
