Hi All, Another Question. Can I get my 13 mini to unlock and go straight to home page - with all my apps etc? When I raise the phone - it says its unlocked - but is just on the 'time' blank page, I need to swipe up manually to go to home page, or at the last app using and still open. (E.g. camera.) Hope you can advise Regards Martin Continue reading...

Hey guys. Two days ago I noticed a big number of pixels stuck in my iPhone XR screen, out of no where, and as time goes (hours/days), more pixels get stuck next to them. It seems to be spreading. I took one picture when I noticed it, another one yesterday night, and I left my iPhone off over night. Today when I switched it on, it got worst. Now I have one whole line of stuck pixels and other lines are getting longer. One month ago I saw the same thing happening with a coworker that also... Read more Continue reading...

I just moved to an area where there is cellular service but very weak, texts won't go through at all, and no cellular data to speak of. What is the best solution for a signal booster or whatever is out there for an iPhone 13 Pro Max these days...? I'm looking for the best performance, I don't care about cost. Thanks!

Before this update I always had a choice to bookmark the page or save to a reading list. Now save to reading list is the only choice. If what I see on my iPhone is legitimate I need help in navigating this; otherwise this would be a bug that needs to be fixed later. Any agreement? Continue reading...

My friend has an iPhone 11 and recorded a 40 minute speech, but there is a problem. The problem is that when it goes to listen to the recording from the mobile, the iPhone app says it's 40 minutes but only plays 12 minutes. He transfers the file to the Mac and puts it to listen there and the player shows that it is a 12 minute recording. Why on iPhone it shows 40 minutes and only plays 12 minutes, while on Mac it shows 12 minutes? Where did the other 28 minutes go? Continue reading...

I currently have a customers phone (iPhone 11 running IOS 15.3.1) and could really do with some help please? The customer has advised me of the following: "When my phone is connected through my Bluetooth and connected to my car.. it silences all notifications, and most importantly if I am using the iPhone as a satnav (because the maps are more up to date than my car’s satnav) no spoken directions can be heard. The phone is synced correctly through the car... Read more Continue reading...

I just came back to the fold from using Samsung for several years. Obviously, the Android phone uses Google Maps. Google maps worked for the most part very well. I like to keep the audio on and eyes on the traffic for the most part. On the iPhone, maps works pretty well except for one item so far - as I approach a turn it no audio says I am approaching or "turn left in 100 feet"... Questions - 1) Is there a setting to adjust the detail of info for the audio that accompanies Apple's Map... Read more Continue reading...

Apple Car play been working, updated to iOS 15.4 and now won’t connect. I have removed the profile from the car but when I plug my iPhone in the “allow to trust” literal comes on for 1 second. I reinstalled iOS on the phone.. Any ideas? Continue reading...

I thought text messages, whether SMS or iMessage, were independent on each person's phone, unlike "auto-deleting" messengers like telegram and signal. I was recently having some trouble receiving and syncing text messages with one of my friends so I erased our message thread, erased and re-added their contact info, and also turned off imessage and back on. Obviously all their messages on my phone are now gone, but this affected their iPhone as well. All messenger messages between us after... Read more Continue reading...

Has anyone heard any news on this? When they're coming out, how much they will cost, etc? Dying to get my hands on the 27" Thunderbolt display! Source: MacRumors

Got the Ultra Mac Studio in - here it is next to the 7.1 Mac Pro. From working with it so far, it's a beautiful little machine, tons of power. Doesn't feel much faster on the every day use side of things, perhaps apps open a faster, but not too noticeable vs the Mac Pro. Just did some R3d raw files, have not timed them yet - but "seat of the pants" feels slower than my 28 core, W6800x Duo Mac Pro with similar files I've done. Still, very impressive! Plan to do tests and comparisons Source: MacRumors

All - Not that there was any doubt, but a FirePro W7000 does work in a 5,1 MP. (Running 10.12.6; it shows up as Radeon HD 7xxx) Only problem is fit - with the bottom plate on, it simply does not fit. And rather than hacksaw part of it, I removed the bottom plate - 9 screws - and now am concerned that it may overheat - it appears that the bottom plate is a heatsink. It's installed in the second PCI slot, with nothing above or below it, and I've set MacsFanControl to run the PCI fan... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi, my friends MP5.1 does not starting anymore. Symptoms: seems to start normally after pressing power button, white led is lit, fans running, HDD spinning, but no chime and no video output. Any input from keyboard has no effect. Also holding the power button does not set to firmware-programming mode. We cross-changed the gpu and cpu-tray w/ mine MP, same problem, his tray&gpu work in mine. Battery was changed and measured, also ok. When pressing the DIAG-button while switching on, leds...

Hi there, I have been using a 2006 Mac Pro 2.66 quad which has been upgraded for El Capitan and 24gb ram (6x4gb). I recently found a deal on a 2008 model 2.8ghz octo with 16gb ram (4x2gb + 2x4gb). So now I'm preparing to sell the 2006 and trying to decide what to do with the ram. The 2008 has 800mhz sticks and the 2006 has 667, I was thinking of putting all 8x 4gb sticks into the 2008, which would give me 32gb but then run at 667mhz which I've heard is 5% difference in performance. But that... Read more Source: MacRumors

G'day, I am currently running a Mac Pro 5,1 2.8ghz Quad as my main desktop, with 2 x 23" Apple Cinema Displays. I had been considering changing over to a high spec M1 Mini, plus NAS (both second hand for around AU$1,500) and keeping the ACD's, but am starting to think a mid 2010's 27" iMac, and an early LCD/Thunderbolt 27" display may be better... + the NAS. In terms of performance, what model/s am I looking at in the iMac range to be comparable to the base MP5,1? Year / processor? I'm... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi, I have a Mac Pro 5,1 with a AMD RX560 and now I am going to have another one from other computer, my question is if I can put them together inside and how do they work? I know SLI does not work on Mac but I don't know if there is something similar or the cards just work individual. Should I do it ? or it isn't worth it. Source: MacRumors

Hi all ! Can anyone give some references of PCIe cards that host 2x NVMe SSD (not for RAID) in a Mac Pro 5.1 with Big Sur (OpenCore 0.7.6) ? Thank you ! Source: MacRumors

Hi all. I have the opportunity to trade my Mac Pro 3,1 (2.8GHz 8 core) for a Mac Pro 4,1 (2.93GHz 8-core). The reason I haven’t done it yet is because I am unsure if it’s fair. My Mac Pro has an SSD, an 802.11ac card, an RX 560 4GB, and 8GB of RAM. The 4,1 also has an SSD but it has the stock graphics card. Should I trade it or is it not a fair trade? -C Source: MacRumors

Hi all New Mac user, switching from windows I purchased a used 5,1 from eBay which was meant to come with high sierra installed. On receipt the SSD was missing. After the seller sent me this I installed it alongside the 1tb HDD and switched on the Mac. I got the boot sound then the folder with the ? So I am assuming he wiped the SSD or it was not the one fitted. Now how do I get this to install MacOS. I. Using a Windows wired keyboard and tried the standard things I have found such as...

Having ordered a Mac Studio Ultra that will arrive in late May or early June, I am mildly concerned that a new Apple Silicon Mac Pro is soon to arrive that will make me regret buying the Studio Ultra. I am not in need of the PCIe slots, and can make a Mac Studio work with a few peripherals for my needs. TB hub and NVMe enclosure etc. In reality the Studio will be an awesome machine for me I am sure. Apart from, that I 'almost' bought a Macbook Pro M1 Max, and if I had I would have...

Where does this part go? Cleaning out my Mac Pro 2008 (looked like the inside of a vacuum bag with all the dust!) and found this piece floating around unattached. Anyone able to tell me where it goes? Some type of heat sink? Looked at some vintage parts sellers online but couldn't find this part that might lead me to a location diagram. Has 3 spring loaded pins. Source: MacRumors
