Will using a PCIe to PCI adapter, and an OLD GPU, cause issues with modern macOS+OCLP?
by Guest Project Alice- 0 replies
- 5 views
This is going to be a weird one but I want to ask. I’ll probably end up trying it out anyway. I have an RX 590 in my 5,1. I also have Sonoma installed, and Windows 11. I want to install Windows 2003 (XP 64 NT 5.2). This would just be for fun and on its own disk not interfering with macOS or Windows 11. However, my GPU is too new for XP/2003. I know it would still display, but the generic graphic driver would be useless for my purposes here. In the past, before all the Metal GPU and... Read more Source: MacRumors

Mac Pro 6,1 LG 4k 60hz fix?
by Guest StormLord- 0 replies
- 8 views
As the title says, I had a client with a 6,1 and a 4K LG monitor that was playing perfectly at 60hz, I had to reformat and upgrade the system to Monterey and now the monitor only work at 20-25-30 Hz refresh rate. I was told by the client that a previous tech had installed a program that fixed this. I tried switchResX with the exact follow up on their GitHub page but now it only displays 60hz only on (low resolutions) modes, that are very blurred even though the mode says high res numbers...

Adobe just retired my suite of 4.1/5.1s

Permit my Shakespearean lament.... Alas, parting is such sweet sorrow, of I have laboured many weeks keeping my trusty steeds up to date, but now is truly my moment of discontent! Adobe finally requires AVX2 support! Sadly I cannot update to the newest versions, but current version (with bugs) still work, so I will plod on regardless and start looking at the M4 range of Macs once they are announced. It's been a fun ride! https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/image-16-10-2024-at-13-34-jpg.2438086/ Source: MacRumors

As per the title, every Mac I've owned still works perfectly and is still in use. Not only that, each one serves a purpose. Specifically - - 2012 13" MacBook Pro (MD101) [12 years old] - Used as a spare in the guest bedroom, but brought into service on the occasions I need to burn or copy CD/DVDs. - 2015 iMac 21" Intel i5 8GB [9 years old] - Runs 24/7 as a Unify Network controller & management console. Used to bootcamp into Windows when Windows is needed too. - 2017 12" Macbook [8 years old] - Used as my ultra-portal laptop when travelling, for times when I want to put a laptop in my bag without being able to tell I'm carrying a laptop around with me. - 20…

Are second hand or refurbished a waste of time? Should I just bite the bullet and buy new?
by Guest /u/thomashenrym- 0 replies

I used to have an iMac in my old job which I could use for personal stuff as they basically just gave me a iMac off the shelf so it didn’t have any of the company software etc. Now in my new role they are all windows and working off a HP Probook. I miss having a Mac especially as I do a lot of UX/UI designing. I know my company won’t ever buy me a Mac (it’s a charity so limited money and also heavily security conscious etc) so I don’t want to buy an expensive computer just for work purposes but then again I know I’ll use it for personal stuff too. I’ve been looking at CEX and gumtree to see if I can get a good deal second hand but unsure about if I should have a cut…

Keyboard issue during OpenCore Legacy Patcher install
by Guest /u/Suspicious-Shape789- 0 replies
- 4 views
Hi! So I am installing OpenCore Patcher to a 2012 imac, and I'm at the point of the process where I need to restart holding the option key. However, my Mac keyboard died and I'm using a regular pc keyboard. ALT is supposed to be the equivalent key, but when I hold it down while restarting, it does not work and I can't get to the option for different drives. I also tried holding down the windows key to no avail. Any tips on fixing this or an alternative? Thank you! submitted by /u/Suspicious-Shape789 [link] [comments]

Flutter for Android on Mac

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/B3l-H825smjHpf7cTjfHRx9ScharEIHpWK84BNblS4U.jpg Does anybody here have experience with flutter (mainly for android but preferably for Android and iOS) on Mac (especially M series)? I have a flutter course and I need to get it to work on Android Studio but I’m having issues with running the code (every time a different error), so I thought maybe someone here can help. It was a different error sometimes but every time I try a fix, the error changes to another error and sometimes I get a security pop up too “Apple can’t verify for malware” or something like that, sometimes there is a giant blue error too. The guys at university didn’t hel…

Internet recovery continues failing
by Guest /u/Rough-Squash-6261- 0 replies
- 6 views
Hey all, I recently picked up a 2017 MacBook Pro for free - it seems fine in every respect but keeps failing at internet recovery. It will either cut off during the Ventura download, restart, and I'll be met with the flashing folder icon, or it will go all the way through the initial download, restart, and give me the flashing folder icon again. Any ideas on how to get this machine up and running? My first thought is to get a usb-ubsc adapter and try with a bootable drive, but before I throw money at that I wonder if there's anything else I might try. Many thanks Edit: I should note, I know it is downloading Ventura because when I go into disk utility after one of t…

How do i turn a MacBook into a file server
by Guest /u/reddisem- 0 replies
- 4 views
Hi everyone! I recently have gotten a MacBook with broken screen and it just has been laying in my room collecting dust, until I've thought of an idea. What if I turned it into a file server since it has a whole 256 gigs while all of my other macs have just 128 so why waste so much storage. First, I tried just connecting to Wi-Fi so I would be able access it in the Network folder in Finder (that worked for older Macs that I used), But that didn't work. After that, I tried connecting it my AirPort Express (5th gen). It gave me a notification that the cable I was using wasn't Thunderbolt capable, which I thought was weird since the port on the AirPort is only Usb 2.0.…
