Migrating from 5,1 to Thunderbolt Mac: Hard Drive access solutions?
by Guest GoJohnGo- 0 replies
- 6 views
I've been thinking about migrating from my 5,1 to the new Mac Mini M4, but still face the the same dilemma I had when the Silicon Minis first came out: how to access all the hard drives sitting in my 5,1? I still have multiple hard drives from 3TB-8TB that I want to continue to have access to. I'm wondering how to house them in a way that is transparent, fast, and doesn’t take too much energy. I don’t run RAID, have not used a NAS, don't need access for multiple computers beyond what's... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi, Is there anyway to find out the true BootROM version while running an OpenCore enabled OS? OpenCore spooks the version in System Report to all 9's so as not to trigger an ROM update Cheers Dave Source: MacRumors

Wacky idea here. Anyone have a pin out for the cMP1,1 PS? I'm thinking of using the case, optos, drive mounts & PS (MoBo died and removed) to hold a low end '14 or '18 mini for the server head. So's I don't need to buy an ext enclosure. Source: MacRumors

Recommendation to additionally cool a Mac Pro 6.1 passively
by Guest eldxmgw- 0 replies
- 3 views
There are plenty of threads about adjusting the fan curve with TG Pro, cleaning the inside of the 6.1, giving the PCI bridge a passive heat sink, or simply giving the CPU & GPU this new and high-quality thermal paste. All of this may have its place. A simple variant that works without internal intervention is passive cooling. No, I'm not talking about the overpriced aluminum turbine from Canada, or even about this crazy notebook stand with a ridiculous LED fan to put underneath. I'm talking... Read more Source: MacRumors

Retired business use. It works amazingly well for a 9 year old model. Didn’t come with a keyboard or mouse, but I found an old Bluetooth AA battery Apple keyboard at a thrift store for $7. And I had a Logitech ultra thin mouse laying around from an old MacBook. Any thoughts. How about open core, it was already on here when I got it. This shud be good for a while right? submitted by /u/lorenzoem87 [link] [comments]

Just got this message in settings after updating to the Dev 15.2 Beta 2 on my base M2 Max Studio, I haven't been on any of the other betas until now. Ironic that my external storage is larger & faster than the base internal storage is. Guess I'm not going to be using AI anytime soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ submitted by /u/greenie214 [link] [comments]

M3 Pro vs M4 base
by Guest /u/FakeWimmer- 0 replies
- 1 view
I’ve seen so many comparisons within the various levels of CPUs, but never a cross comparison. Yes, M4 [insert pro or max] is going to do better than M3 of the same level, but does anyone know how it will stack up between levels? Is the M4 base only slightly less powerful than the M3 Pro? I’m interested because I’m wondering if it would be better to save some money and preorder a MacBook Pro M4 with an education discount or pay the couple hundred extra for a MacBook Pro M3 Pro now. submitted by /u/FakeWimmer [link] [comments]

Apple Service Programs Eligibility?
by Guest /u/Interesting_Spot3814- 0 replies
- 8 views
Under Apple service programs, I found two products (AirPods and a Mac) that are eligible for service programs, and I indeed have the issues listed on the website. The problem is that I bought these products around 2019/2020, and I’m not sure if they’re still eligible. Does the purchase date matter when it comes to getting them repaired for free (if there was a service recall)? Is there a way to get the service even if its outside the eligibility time frame? submitted by /u/Interesting_Spot3814 [link] [comments]

MacBook Pro stopped recognizing SSD
by Guest /u/Top-Rip-5388- 0 replies
- 3 views
I have MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with an old HDD drive. Recently, I installed a new SSD drive with the HDD and both were working just fine. I was obviously using my Mac on the SSD for better performance. Then, my Mac suddenly stopped recognizing the SSD hard drive. I restarted many times and checked the SSD SATA connector in my Mac but nothing seems abnormal. I don’t know why it is stopped being recognized. Doesn’t appear on disk utility and even when I used ‘diskutil list’ command in Terminal still not recognized. Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Top-Rip-5388 [link] [comments]

Yesterday, a new rumor from the reliable source "Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman" suggested that the MacBook Air M4 might be released in early 2025. With this news, I'm wondering—should I wait a few more months for the M4 or go ahead and buy the M3 now? Both would cost me about the same. submitted by /u/MoSala77 [link] [comments]

How to install Kerberos on MacOS Sonoma with Apple Silicon and zsh shell
by Guest /u/MildMagician369- 0 replies
- 7 views
Error: It seems like you are using MIT Kerberos but do not have the [iCODE]krb5kdc[/iCODE] daemon installed. This is a common issue because Homebrew's MIT Kerberos installation might not include the KDC (Key Distribution Center) component. In fact, the Homebrew formula for MIT Kerberos may only install the Kerberos client tools like [iCODE]kinit[/iCODE], [iCODE]klist[/iCODE], and [iCODE]krb5-config[/iCODE], but not the full KDC server ([iCODE]krb5kdc[/iCODE]). submitted by /u/MildMagician369 [link] [comments]

As the title say, I was unlucky and spilled some water on my mac. I dried it and now left it upside down. The thing is that everything seems to work for now, all the keys and the screen as well. ¿Is this normal? ¿Should i expect for it to suddenly die in the following days? submitted by /u/user28401047390 [link] [comments]
