I just bought a Mac Mini 2012 era computer. I upgraded the memory to 16 GB (purchased on Amazon for under $100), memory upgrade went easy and just works. I also replaced the disk with a Samsung SSD 500 GB, (also ordered from Amazon for under $200, total for both was $235). installing the disk was a pain in the butt, it took hours. I formatted the disk and did a carbon copy clone from my prior disk prior to the install. To do that I put the new sad disk in an external enclosure and connected it by USB. Everything worked when I was done so it was worth doing. I also connected an Asus PB278Q 27" monitor. Wow what a nice monitor. The increased resolution and clarity ar…

No line-in audio (cMP 5,1/mid-2010)
by Guest macstatic- 0 replies
- 203 views
For some reason I'm not hearing the audio coming in from the rear line-in jack of my cMP (mid-2010/MacOS 10.13.6). I've checked the Sound preferences and set INPUT to "Line in" (the meter definitely shows audio coming in) and OUTPUT to "Internal speakers". The funny thing is that I do hear the alert sounds and whatever comes from the web browser. And using the Audio MIDI setup app's "Configure speakers" I can again confirm that the internal speaker is working, but not what comes in... Read more Source: MacRumors

Re-Charging Nightly Question, Please
by Guest Robert4- 0 replies

Hello, Have a new iPhone SE and just bought, also, a Galvonix wireless recharger from Amazon. Seems to work quite well, and re-charges thru the OtterBox iPhone case. Question: When I charge it overnight, is it important or necessary to shut the phone off first, or simply leave on all the time, and just put on the stand (while on) for a nightly "topping off" ? Any advantage if I shut off each night prior to ? Why ? Thanks, Bob Source: MacRumors

For assured recovery of lost, missing, and deleted files from Mac OS X hard drive and other supported storage media, use third-party Mac Disk Recovery applications. iPhone 5 Release Date

Strange CarPlay Issue with XR
by Guest jmoore5196- 0 replies

I use two iPhones - a 13 mini, and an XR. My vehicle is a Mazda with native CarPlay. When I use the iPhone 13, CarPlay works without an issue. When I connect the XR, however, I cannot initiate CarPlay. I have to play content through the USB connection or via Bluetooth. Bluetooth is working with both iPhones, and I've followed all the online tips to try to 'fix' the XR - turning Airplane Mode on and off, turning Siri on and off, etc. - and have even reinstalled from a two-week-old backup...

DigiTimes briefly reports that an executive from Sintek Photronics has denied claims from late last week that the company has shipped samples of touchscreen panels to Apple for testing in a touch-capable iMac. Rumors and an Apple patent application have suggested that the company is at least toying with the idea of a touch-capable iMac. While it is unclear whether Apple would attempt to create a fully touch-capable Mac OS X, it has been suggested that the company could instead offer iOS as layer on top of Mac OS X, allowing both operating systems to coexist on the same machine.

Touch inaccuracy
by Guest treeroy- 0 replies

Hello, I have a Iphone 12 Mini. The screen is very frequently unresponsive to touches, or interprets touches wrongly. For example typing on the keyboard and I try tapping letter H but it thinks I'm tapping Z, etc. And it sometimes thinks I'm touching it when I'm not, so it taps buttons when I dont want it to. I normally wipe the screen hard on my clothes and then it goes back to normal for a while. This happens multiple times a day. Its really annoying. I clean my phone screen regularly...

As the threadname says: With my cMP 5,1 i tried to gain access to some old TomTom sportswatch via USB, using some Java app. Manufacturer dropped support. So the original app is not an option anymore. The app launches fine with terminal command "java -jar TomTomWatch.jar. But as soon as it has launched i keep getting an USB-error... Code: ERROR: USB Error: USB error 3: Unable to claim interface: Access denied (insufficient permissions) ...over and over again. So no acces to the watch possible. Machine is on Monterey 12.7.6 via OCLP 1.5. Can this be some System Integrity Protection thing solveable with the OCLP-settings? Or are there any other known solutio…

I've been running an eMac that is nearly 10 years old, and, while its still kicking, I needed to upgrade finally. So got a used macmini (mid 2010), because I can't let go of the CD/DVD world yet. It's like new, running Lion, and is connected to a 24" RCA LED LCD HDTV. My problem is that in trying to carry over files from my old emac to the mini, when I plug in a flash drive (anywhere—Gigaware 4 port, back of the mini, keyboard) it will not show up on the desktop. I will be able to see it in DiskUtility, but even after reformatting, it won't show up. What can I do? I realize I have other options to swap files, but still would like to have my flash drives work. Thanks fo…

According the new in Magican Official Site, Magican have more than 6 features. 1, Check the status of the system, like CPU and Ram usage; 2, Clean useless file and uninstall apps to speed up Mac; 3, Software center list out the discount/free app from Mac App Store; 4, Toolbox provides you a series of small Mac tools; 5, Check hardware information...... I always open this app to monitor the Mac status. I think monitor for Mac is the best feature among them.
