Hi, I cracked the screen of my MacBook and cant read anything on it. I could have access to another macbook to save my data as it is still working, but no monitor. Is it possible to mirror my macbook on the other one via usb c?

hey guys. basically i have the mac book pro from 2019 and my touchbar used to look different. it would have the esc button on the far left and then don't he far right it would have an a a symbol like this "<" with the sound button, my DND button, and siri. i was able to press that symbol to expand the touch bar. however, it doesn't look like that anymore and it hasn't ever since i updated my computer to the newest update. is there a way i can get that feature back? also when i listened to music, a soundbar used to show up on the touch bar where with my finger i could drag to a certain spot in the song. now, its not there anymore and it doesn't show up. there are other features that I really loved that don't show up.

here are a couple examples of what I'm talking about:

Bought it early January, tbh I do use it a lot as it's both for work and personal, but this is a bit worrisome it being already at 94% battery maximum capacity.

I try to not let it go below 20% battery and stop charging it at 80% most of the time.

Is this due to the cycle count? Should I leave it plug when at work and at home? So the cycle count stop increasing.

As the title says, I'll be finishing school soon, and I'd like to pick up my first Macbook. I've been a Windows user as long as I can remember. All of the jobs I'm interested in are Mac based, but some do have Windows users. Though, I feel like being part of the majority is likely easier than the minority.

With that said, I was looking at the Macbook Air 15" M3 16GB for $1,780, which includes 3 years of AppleCare+. Is this my best option, or should I look for something else?

Hey Guys, I got Mac Air M3 like a week ago and I noticed that hinge doesn't go back more than 90 degrees. Is this normal? Thanks

I don't know which one is better, just for a normal user, for school and some work, watching movies, etc. Can you help me? Is it better to choose the MacBook Pro 13" i7 2020 2.3Ghz 512GB 16GB RAM or the Apple MacBook Pro 13" A2338 2020 Apple M1 8GB RAM 256GB SSD? I am struggling with the difference in processor and RAM.

I didnt drop it, sit on it, or anything of that kind. I checked for cracks on my screen and there is none. Im so confused someoje help

Honestly, what do you guys use to clean your MacBooks? A few months ago I bought a 16" M3 Max and it was obviously very expensive, so I want to look after it as much as possible.

After searching how to clean the screen properly, I saw everyone recommending Whoosh, so I decided to buy it, but it doesn't work very well. It left some smudges and I've been putting off cleaning the screen ever since with fear of scratching it.

What do you guys use to clean your screens that won't scratch it?

Thanks

hello everyone, I'm an 18 year old guy who day trades, and l've been losing my mind for the past week about whether to get an M3 air or a M2 air. Both have 8 GB of RAM and 13 inches, but the m2 has 512 GB of SSD while the m3 has only 256. I was looking at some M1 pros from eBay that cost around $1100-1300, but it would take a whole month to arrive. I can't wait that long as that would severely impact my workflow and my notetaking. The m2 and m3 airs are $1150, but I'm afraid that in the long run it won't be as efficient because of the ram, despite Apple being extremely known for their powerful Macs. What l'm planning to do on the MacBook is nothing too crazy, I'll be watching movies, web browsing, lots of Safari tabs open, multiple charts open, a lot of note-taking, and some light gaming like Minecraft, Roblox, and Unturned. I plan on taking the laptop with me on some occasions to cafes, parks, and restaurants, but it will mostly stay in my room, so it might go out twice a month. I also plan to keep the Mac for at least 6-8 years before upgrading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, mac user here.

Does anyone else feel like the battery drains faster since updating to the new Macos Sequoia? Im on 15.0.1. And I have a M2 Macbook Air, I just feel my battery used to last longer before updating, anyone else have this problem?

Hey guys, I can get a new M1 Pro 16GB/1TB for a little over $1300. I already have a specced out M2 Studio for most of my software development tasks, so this will mainly be a laptop to use around the house or at coffee shops. I was going to get M3 15” air (16 GB/512 GB), but I think this might be a better deal even though it’s much older. Thoughts?

I haven’t owned a laptop in a decade, never owned a Mac and have been on a windows PC I built for some years now. For people that have Apple Silicon MacBooks, how is the user experience and what are your favorite parts of them? I’m waiting for the M4 Pro MacBook Pro.

Hi ya'll.

I have the option to buy a spec'd out 2021 M1 Max Macbook Pro for $3000 CAD ($2,170 USD).

- 16"
- 10 core CPU+32core GPU
- 4TB hardrive
- 64gb ram.

For anyone with a M1 Max Macbook, how is it holding up? I wouldn't usually buy a three year old laptop however to specs are very good and the cycle count is very low.

Let me know your thoughts!

Bought a MacBook Air M1 mainly due to battery life as I will be using it to study and it perfectly suits my needs. I have charged it only once so far. I am slightly worried tho, battery life seems kind of okay but i expected more. 17-20 percent drain in 3 hours of pdf, browser usage on half full brightness. Is this normal and is there any chance the battery will get more optimized as i use it more?

MacBook completely full, even after shutting down Google Chrome. Can't move items to trash. Terminal not working. Tried to shut down stuff through activities. Also can't airdrop. What can I do?

I’ve used a MacBook before and despite its age it’s still reliable, robust and upgradeable (since its 2012) and does our needs done like office, school, presentations, video conference calls, heck even gaming. I’m curious why you choose a MacBook? I mean no harm I just wanna know.

Thanks for the inputs

I recently knocked my computer over and it hit the ground. I continued on with what I was doing with the screen working fine then suddenly the whole screen went black. There is a TINY crack in the bottom of the screen. Is this why it’s not working? Do I need to replace the whole screen? HELP PLEASE🩷

I have a question, after charging the macbook, the green LED does not light up, even if it is already charged.. moreover, it does not do it every time, approximately every third charge.. any tips?

I have Adobe PP and I don’t want creative cloud on, so I blocked all incoming connections with firewall, it took a while but I’ve realized every time I restart or come back sometime later I will see that it seems to have allowed itself through the firewall again. How do I block its permission to change it’s own firewall setting? I’ve looked around on google with no luck, or maybe I’m blind or unable to explain it correctly. Any suggestions?

Is 10+ hour Battery backup on my New MacBook Air M2 okay? I've seen people getting upto 15 to 18 hours as well. I use chrome for surfing 5-6 tabs opened simultaneously with in between entertainment consumption and music and a live wallpaper

My screen on my macbook air won’t turn on. The power on sound still works and the light on the capslock button also works. My screen will turn on but it hust stays black.

Can anybody please help

As the title says my videos are lagging consistently every 20-30 seconds where the frame rate drops considerably. I've been using A MacBook Pro 13-inch 2018 on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1. This issue has only started plaguing me in the past 2 months and only when my cursor is inactive (I have to have the YouTube hud for it to stop lagging and as soon as the hud fades away it begins lagging again briefly. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I keep my macbook plugged in almost all the time and I only uses it to play a game on discord (max 1 hour at a time) and internet. Lately I've noticed that my macbook is hot even when I'm not using it/on sleep mode. I do live in a hot climate country, it could get up to 34-35 celcius in the afternoon.

What are the possible reasons that cause my macbook to overheat? Should I be worry? Or is there any way I can stop this? Thanks in advance!

Hey all do my 16 inch 2019 MacBook display gone bad and now it flickers and screen doesn’t work sometimes. I was looking on marketplace and getting a MacBook Pro m1 16g ram 512gb 16 inch for 1800 Canadian dollars. I wanna know if it’s a good deal for a 2021 16 inch MacBook Pro. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

So this accidentally happened. Any way I can fix this? Thanks in advance

Hey dudes, I'm posting here because I would like some advice on how much I can sell my old Macbook Pro for. It's a 13.3 inch, M1, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD 2020 model but the catch is...

I accidentally spilled water on it a few years back and it fucked up the screen. It made it static-y (if that's the word to describe it) with these flickering lines. However, it functions fine despite the fucked up screen.

I never fixed it because replacing the screen wasn't worth the cost so I just got a new M2 Macbook Pro. Since it's just been collecting dust in its box and I thought i might as well sell it.

I know the fucked up screen will greatly impact the price at which i could sell it for but the M1 chip is still powerful and it can still be used with an external monitor connected to it.

I want to know how much this could sell for (say, a ballpark estimate) so I have some knowledge prior to actually selling it.

I saw on Amazon that a new Macbook Pro of the same specs is listed at $1400 while a renewed one is going for $688 (for reference if this helps).

Much thanks in advance!
