Hi, Is it possible to set the camera app so that it's always shooting in ProRaw rather than trying to remember to tap the RAW button at the top of the screen every time you open the camera app? Continue reading...

I initially wanted to make this post on the Apple Support Community forum but it kept being deleted :( Despite this, I do believe the information in the post below may be valuable to some experiencing full storage related error 14. Dear All, Below you will find the method I used to successfully update my iPhone X 256gb, to iOS 14.4.2 and get it to start up with all my data so that I could then make a backup of it on my iMac. I did not have a backup of my phone on iCloud and did not... Read more Continue reading...

I am still hearing about things like a new mobile phone has to be fully discharged first before recharging and things like never draining the battery to 0% and never charging it fully, something like that, but I am also hearing that today's battery is mostly Lithium that should not have any memory effect so that you can just charge it or discharge it whenever you want, whatever % you want, it will not affect the battery health or lifespan. I'm not a scientist, would anyone tell me confirm me... Read more Continue reading...

Hi guys so I just got my iPhone 13 Pro Max today. I tested out the camera & video recording and found out that the video is a bit choppy/stuttering when I play it back (both cinematic & normal video). But when I watch videos on youtube, the videos look just fine. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? if so: - is it software issue? or - hardware issue with the camera? - any advice on how to fix it? Thanks! Continue reading...

When I first upgraded my Mac Pro 5.1 (2010, one CPU) from High Sierra to Big Sur I managed to upgarde the bootrom succesfully (with a bunch of trying out, because then the Mac Pro won't shut down in Mojave installers bootrom update section) So I installed the BigSur 11.2.3 with barrykn micropatcher to NVME-PCIe card. I remember having boot problems and even having to install the os again because I got a stop sign. The shutdown / startup problems were even more complicated because of I...

I'm installing a Fenvi PCIe Wi-Fi ac card on my Mac Pro 5,1 (flashed 4,1). It's based on the Broadcom BCM94360CD so is natively supported in MacOS X. However, if I want Bluetooth 5.0 (which I do for Airdrop and HandOff) i need to attach a cable from the card to a USB header socket (see diagram, which is for a PC installation). Is there a corresponding USB header anywhere on the Mac Pro motherboard? https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/if-there-is-bluetooth-function-jpg.914802/ TIA, Tim Source: MacRumors

Well, not sure if this is something anyone else has experienced. I livestream, and yesterday using my iPhone 13 pro max for the third time during a stream, the YouTube app disconnected. However this time YouTube informed me I was offline - the stream will lose connection, but this message NEVER appears. This is always just a cell tower switchover or lack of bandwidth (my streams are on the Las Vegas Strip so that happens with all the traffic on the network). Anyhow, this time I minimized...

Anyone else experience that it takes very long time to load mail? The red icon that indicates the number of emails appears, but nothing is displayed in the app. The Gmail app displays the mail immediately, but it may take 5-10 minutes for it to appear in your Apple mail app. By the way, running the latest version iOS and no beta.

Is Apple's MagSafe charger the only charger that is recommended to charge iPhone 12 or above? Is there any reputable non-Apple alternative? I don't mind paying less for alternatives and taking risk if the risk isn't high Second question: In the official site it is recommended to use with 20W USB-C Power Adapter (sold separately) and the word is "recommended". Can it be used with other adapter? Am I right that if it is used with 20W USB-C then it is a fast-charging while if used with other... Read more Continue reading...

Hi, My Mac Pro 5,1 has two GPUs: Nvidia GForce GT 120 512Mo Quadro 4000 I have a dual boot, one to boot on 10.9 (with the GT120), and another one to boot on 10.13.6 (with the Quadro). Until yesterday, it was working correctly. Now, I noticed that I have to plug my displays in the GT120 to use the MacPro. The Quadro is no longer showed in the system infos, everything shows only the GT120 as if I would have only one GPU inside. How could I check what's going on ? What could I test to...

mid 2012 MP 5,1 suddenly will not pass the apple logo loading screen. The loading bar stalls at around 75% but reaches 100% eventually, however stops there and never proceeds further. Apple store have assessed and can not figure it out. I have since installed another backpane and the same issue occurs Source: MacRumors

The netkas-forum seems to be down. Is there an alternative download location for the patcher or can someone send it to me by mail? Thanks in advance Source: MacRumors

The good folks at egpu.io have had some encouraging results with the latest Gigabyte TB3 add-in card and will be testing in MP 5,1. Will be very interesting to see the results. Hat tip to @itsage. [edit] to correct link Source: MacRumors

So this happened yesterday. Also it started choking at boot up. Didn’t used to do this. If I walk away from MP for an hour or so the screen is dark. Normally all I do is angle the mouse and it wakes up. Now it doesn’t. I’m still on Catalina. Also big chime. The thing about these 2019 MAC Pros is they’re uncomfortably silent. Any ideas?

I have unsuccessfully attempted to install OpenCore onto my cMP 5,1 running Mojave using the several methods listed on CDF's thread 'Opencore on the Mac Pro'. As a result i have made a butchers out of it and I feel my entire desktop has been compromised. I would like to find out the best method how to reinstal a clean copy of Mojave and starting from there. I did make a clone copy of my Mojave drive (using the trial version of CCC thanks to Dayo's advise) however, it was a recent... Read more Source: MacRumors

*** Do NOT attempt to do this on your MVC flashed RX580 regardless if that's the Sapphire PULSE RX580 8GB or not *** *** This mod CANNOT make any RX580 shows boot screen *** Forum member Teddy managed to get a Sapphire PULSE RX580 8GB card.

MacForo is back!. After being gone for a long time do to losing the domain we are happy to announce that we are back. This time I will be more vigilant watching so the domain doesn't expire.

I note that to the left of the three ports for the J2i cage, there's a USB port. Is this for Apple diagnostics or can be used for other things? Has any one tried using it, and if so what did you plug in; a thumb drive, or something else ? Is it USB 3.1 or 3.2 or what ? Thanks... ? See attached image.... Source: MacRumors

So I recently got an eVGA 980 Ti SC from someone that has a genuine MVC flash on it. I am trying to to use it on my 2010 5,1 but no matter the mac OS revision and matching webdriver version I get a kernel panic on boot resulting in a boot loop. Resetting the nvram breaks it out of the loop as that clears the nvda_drv = 1 argument. Card works great in Windows 10, but also wanted to use it in mac OS.

I recently had to change the back plate of my cMP 4,1 flashed to 5,1. Since I previously used x5680 CPUs and a PCIe drive I have to flash the back plate to 5,1. Here is where the problems start… Every time I try to boot from a USB stick to install Mojave, the system stuck at: AppleHDAEngineInput::performFormatChange (<ptr>, <ptr>, 0) IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0 What‘s the problem? I have already removed all drives except the one for the Mojave installation. Source: MacRumors
