This is my I believe 2015 Mackbook Air and the battery Broke Idk what to do with it niw

I am just trying to understand what native support (without adapters) there is for the latest iMac and external displays. The spec page says this:

https://www.apple.com/imac/specs/

Display Support Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at 1 billion colors and:

-One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

Thunderbolt 3 digital video output

-Native DisplayPort output over USB-C

-VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)

This support page says

For Mac computers with Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) and HDMI ports : You can connect up to eight external displays to your Mac, depending on your Mac model.

and

For Mac computers with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) : You can connect a single display to each port. If you connect multiple Thunderbolt devices to each other, the Thunderbolt 3 display must be the last device in the chain. If your Thunderbolt 3 display has USB ports, those can be used for data and power.

If the 2023 iMac has 2xUSB-C (USB3) and 2xUSB-C(USB4), then I would imagine based on the above, it is not a problem to connect 2 external USB-C 4K monitors to this iMac, correct?

Before purchasing this costly game, I want to ensure it performs smoothly on my system. I’m using a MacBook M3 (base model) with 8GB RAM and 1TB storage. Does anyone have a similar setup and play this game? I’m particularly interested in knowing if the gameplay is responsive and if the GPU efficiently manages the game’s requirements. Your insights would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Well, I have this Imac that I find quite comfortable because of its large screen, it has 8GB of ram and an Intel core i5 quad-core processor (I think it ranges from 3.2 to 3.6 GHz) but it has the Catalina, I've seen that I can install a newer version of macos, but my question is, is it worth it? What benefits do I get? Now I have Office "cr4ck F2LL", if I install this new version Can I still have it?

I'm finally moving to Apple Silicon and ever since my first Macbook in 2011 I've done migrations using Time Machine. There's probably a lot of useless fluff, incomplete uninstall files and so on, so I will try to a manual move this time. Also because I think it's a good idea to manually make sure I have Silicone native installs for everything running on the machine for optimum performance.

Is there a recommended way or a guide for doing a manual move? I'm thinking of stuff like libraries and interlinked software. For example the Music app library (which in turn is linked to Rekordbox), Adobe Lightroom library, general software license stuff.

I understand I will probably have to look into all these cases on an individual basis, but maybe there are some best practices for when I'm preparing the move? My current plan is to put the files I need on a drive and download the actual applications from the vendors.

I have spent about a year with the search baron malware on my Mac, I spent lots of money on malware apps with no success. Weird YouTube videos that only promote other malware apps. FINALLY I HAVE THE SOLUTION! For me the malware was imbedded on my chrome profile. I did not delete my google profile entirely, just removed the profile from chrome. I lost all my shortcuts and saved passwords but it was soooo worth it! I really hope this helps you guys!

I'm going to assume this can't be done. But I just got myself a M3 (not max) Macbook Pro. I have three external 4K monitors that I would like to connect to it, but according to this apple page I can only connect two external monitors, and I would need the m2 or m3 max chip in order to connect three external monitors.
Has anyone seen a workaround to get three external monitors connected to a non max macbook? We all know this is a manufactured limitation, and the m3 is more then capable of running three monitors, so I'm just wondering if there is a work around...
Just wondering, thanks.

Hello,

I have a new MacBook Pro 14" with M3 chip and it's my first MacBook, I'm new to this kind of product so please forgive me if this is a dumb question but I couldn't find much about this on the Internet.

I've noticed a weird behavior which doesn't cause any issues for now but I was wondering if this is normal or not.

When I plug in the charger on my MacBook (occurs with both the original 70W MagSafe charger and a third parts Type C 65W charger) it shows the battery icon with a plug inside and if I click on it it says: "Power source: charger" and "Battery not charging". After like 30 seconds it automatically switches to the battery icon with the lightning inside and the MacBook charges normally.

This happens every time I plug the MacBook in and as I said it hasn't caused any issues for now because after that delay the laptop charges normally.

I have optimized charging enabled but I don't it's the cause because I see this behavior even when I have like 40% battery left.

I just wanted to know if maybe someone with more experience than me could tell me if this is normal or if someone is experiencing the same behavior.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry for yet another “Suggest me a right mac” post. I’m torn between these options and unable decide. These machines are from dealers/individual sellers from online platforms in India. Calling redditors for help.

Note: Prices are converted in dollar from INR

If I go for M1 max with apple care, should I also make the jump to M2 max as it is 12-15% faster, and the price increase from M1 max is around 10% ? Also will M1 and M2 be supported for near about same duration as M1 was being sold till the Arrival of M2, and M2 now being replaced by M3 ?

Workflow:

I will be running 2-3 VMS simultaneously in my workflow, including Windows 11 and Ubuntu. I also want to be able to do casual gaming and machine learning. Any suggestions and comments are welcome.

Hello o/

I saw that you can update old Macs to Ventura / Sonoma with legacyopenpatcher and so have the latest update of macOS on it

My Mac broke and I have a desktop with a ryzen 5600 that can’t launch a macOS vm above Monterey

Are some people know if it is ok to work on small project on a Mac mini 2012 or I should really aim for a m1 minimum ?

I don’t have a huge budget and can’t use my work computer for personal use

Macbook air6,2 MacOS Sierra Ver 10.12.6

When I search for updates, there are none.

Can my Mac be updated? Is it capped? If so, is there a workaround?

help?

im unable to delete it, i followed a few directions after googling, but man, google is such a piece of shit search engine now it seems, cant fucking find shit except advertisements and paid-ad contents

Hi together, I am having issues with spotlight searches, and hope reddit can help me.

I have a large amount of data on an external SSD, where I use search 90% of the time. Since a few weeks search does not find anything (list is completely empty, even if it is in the main folder.

I tried listing/delisting the external drive in spotlight settings, but this only works If I follow that with restarting my Mac WITH the external drive attached, and only works until I unplug it. If I remove the external drive, I have to close everything I have open, and restart the process again.

The external drive is formatted on ExFAT, and worked flawlessly for several months (less then 1 Second through several hundred GB) - I don’t have an easy access to a different storage option for these files, so I hope there is a solution that does not involve formatting the entire drive.

Looking forward to help.

I realised that my MacBook was overheating and I found out that the process windowServer took up a lot of RAM and used around 15-40% of the CPU. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Hey all,

I've been in the market for a new MacBook Pro and done nothing but research for what type of configuration I needed for my new MacBook Pro, I've seen so many review videos and videos saying what is the best config for certain needs, and I figured the 18GB would be suitable.

I found out that the M3 Pro 18GB was just barely enough for me, but I wanted to future proof as I saw I was utilizing 16GB under my 'normal' work loads.

I'm a software developer who uses Dot Net, specifically Dot Net 5 which isn't supported natively, luckily Rosetta and a few console commands made it very easy (which almost worried me with the fact that Rosetta just pops up and says "I'm gonna do this for you!").

I have to use Docker to emulate SQL Server and then use Azure Data Studio - for Docker I set the RAM usage limit to 4 GB.

I also Develop in React and Python, but with all three coding terminals open (sometimes these 3 programs work in unison and all need to run), Azure Data Management Studio, Docker, and a Chrome window with 10 tabs, I was hovering at about 16-17 GB of RAM usage, and already certain basic actions just began to feel sluggish and less responsive.

I'm aware that not "all" the RAM is used and some of it is just allocated, but I really want this machine to last 5-8 years.

So I returned it and opted for 32 GB of RAM on the Pro Machine. I considered the MAX but I don't really need that many extra GPU cores as I'm not in content creation.

I just wanted to post this in case any other developers were out there who needed to use Docker and have a bunch of Stack Overflow posts open on the side and weren't sure what was enough for them.

Went with 1 TB of storage as well. My last intel Mac I had 512 GB of RAM but allocated 128 for windows dual boot, and it ran out of space so damn fast. So if Windows ARM dual booting ever becomes an option, I can be ready for that as well.

Hope this helps anyone who's doing research for programming with an M3 Machine!

I'm trying to use and update an iMac 12.2 that runs Mac os x 10.6.8 but the update finder shows no updates, when I open the Mac there is a utility error pop up but the console does not load so I can see what the problem is. Also when I try to use the internet it says it can't establish a secure connection to practically everything. Any idea what I can do to make this iMac functional again?

Yesterday night I left my Mac charging on my desk. When I left it everything worked well. Today I got to class at my college, opened my Mac and trackpad only barley clicks at the edges and half the time it doesn't detect my fingers moving on it. What should I do?

So I recently bought a MacBook Pro m3 pro chip. It's just been 3 days. Initial days charger worked without any issue. But today, suddenly charger stopped working? The light indicator on charger isn't working

What should I do? Did anybody faced this issue before? Any Fix? Thank you.

Hey all, my base m2 air has been randomly shutting down. The screen goes blue or pink (I’m colour blind) clicks loudly and then restarts. The only thing I have downloaded is rectangle and grammarly. My usage is quite light, consisting of university studies and some streaming services. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Hi all,

So i've been given an old Maxbook Air (2015 apparently) by a lady who wants to give it to her granddaughter. She wanted me to remove everything from it first, give her a fresh install. Fine. Problem: she couldn't remember her password or Apple ID, so I just erased the whole drive.

Now starts the headache. I know there are 2 ways to reinstall a fresh copy of MacOS (in this case, I guess El Capitan?): by internet, or bootable drive.

Internet: Somehow now the thing doesn't want to connect to any Wifi network. It just spins after entering the password, and nothing else. And the stupid MacBook Air doesn't even have an ethernet port.

Bootable drive: I don't have access to any other Mac so I can't format the drive for the MacOS install.

Can someone help me with this conundrum ?

Hello! Is there anyone here running smoothly the sharepoint with the new gen of Macs? I am considering it for work where we run on SharePoint however we had a mixed experience with it. A colleague synced SharePoint to her Macbook a few years ago. She had a lot of issues and it kept making duplicate folders of everything. We tested it on M1 Mac Mini 2 years ago which seemed to work somewhat, but there were some sync bugs, due to OneDrive not being ported for ARM-cpu's at the time. I imagine it is more stabile now, but it is hard to know for sure. Anyone with positive experience?

Just wondering what applications or software do people here use for audio edits and mixing. I'm on my Logic Pro free trial right now and I don't really feel like paying 250 Bucks for the complete version. It's a bit beyond me tbh.

Any other applications that run smooth on Macs?
