I have checked Google and various websites and tried various methods to turn it back on. I have reset the SMC according to some websites (a couple times actually) and it does reset because the Magsafe LED did infact change colors. The battery as shown by the Magsafe LED in the picture seems to be fully charged. No amount of pressing the power button seems to working in turning it on. Could this be a bat…

Recommendations for Mac-friendly multi-bay drive enclosure
by Guest /u/tw1stedpair- 0 replies
- 4 views
I'm planning on setting up a home server of sorts that will automatically backup the two Macs in my household as well as keep an offline copy of me and my wife's iCloud Photo Library. The goal is to have a Mac mini connected to two separate external hard drives. One for media storage (think Plex server) and a multi-bay external drive enclosure for data backup. Its the latter that I'm looking for recommendations on. I'd like a 2 or 4 bay enclosure that I can expand and it would obviously need to be reliable and compatible with the Mac mini. Initially I'll probably start with 8 or 12 TB of storage, and move up as required. It should have a USB-C connection, but doesn't h…

Should I try and software update my 2014 Macbook Air to Monterey or Ventura, or trade in?
by Guest /u/Lanky_Bar_5141- 0 replies
- 4 views
Hi all! I'd be grateful for your advice, please excuse me I'm not very tech savvy. I have an 11 inch, early 2014 Macbook Air which is currently running macOS Big Sur. It has a 1.4GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of memory and 121GB of storage. I haven't been getting software and security updates for a while, so I decided to ask a local independent mac store what to do. They suggested wiping my laptop and externally loading Monterey instead, which they described as perfect for my older laptop as it wouldn't overload it and slow it down too much. I queried how long the Monterey system would be supported and they didn't seem to know - but I googled it and it …

Longtime Windows & Linux user finally switching to Mac - here’s why.
by Guest /u/m0neyc0nvo- 0 replies
- 7 views
I recently purchased a 14" MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip. It's amazing. The build quality is solid, the battery life is impressive, and the performance in day-to-day tasks is absurd. I have been a longtime Windows and Linux user, have built my own PCs for years, and while I have used Maca in the past - I generally still prefer the interface of Windows and most Linux distros over MacOS. So why did I buy a MacBook? In a sense, it was a protest to Windows 11's feature bloat, lack of privacy protections, and lack of innovation. Microsoft has had YEARS to clean up Windows and make it a presentable and modern OS. They continue to disappoint me year after year. Windo…

Does anyone else dislike the rounded corners on the new Magic Keyboards?
by Guest /u/nonameisagoodname- 0 replies
- 6 views
I recently got the newer A2450 Magic Keyboard after giving away the A1644 to the wife and I felt instant regret. Key travel feels pretty much the same, but it somehow feels like keys are closer together and the whole thing feels "smaller" to type on. But my biggest pet peeve is those god awful overly rounded corners. They just make the whole thing look ugly and cheap, like some knockoff bought off eBay. submitted by /u/nonameisagoodname [link] [comments]

(You can turn it back on afterwards…) The bubbles then appear as dark circles, exactly as needed. submitted by /u/budgie_uk [link] [comments]
