Been using macbook air M1 since 2020 absolutley love it but my display died due to liquid damage 2 years back had it replaced with 3rd party and the display is dead again after a year I dont wanna replace this laptop but apples replacement is still very coslty. I want to replace it with genuine display can someone suggest me where could I source one for cheaper price. (I live in Toronto)

I'm planning to buy a Mac mini, but I'm struggling to decide between two configurations:

- Mac mini M5 Pro with 24GB of RAM
- Mac mini M6 with 32GB of RAM

The final price would be very similar, so I'm trying to figure out which one would be the better long-term investment.

My main uses would be:

- Music production: mainly metal and electronic music. I use Reaper, virtual instruments such as Superior Drummer, and various plugins for amp simulation, mixing and mastering.

- 4K video editing: Mostly youtube, not professional works

I don't need a machine for gaming, and I'm not a professional producer or video editor. However, I'd like a computer that can handle fairly complex music projects and 4K footage smoothly, without running into memory limitations too quickly.

Would the M5 Pro's more powerful chip and higher memory bandwidth make a bigger difference than the extra 8GB of RAM on the base M6? Or would 32GB of RAM be more useful for my workload in the long run?

I'd really appreciate feedback from people who use their Macs for similar tasks, especially anyone who has experience with both Pro and base chips.

Which one would you choose, and why?

Hello: I am a former Windows user from Spain. I have no experience with Macs. I recently purchased a MacBook Air M5. I have macOS "Golden Gate" installed, with the latest updates. I had to install Java 8 (Oracle) update 511. The question is quite simple, though I haven't been able to get an answer. I am concerned.

Is it normal for the section created by the Java installer within the Mac's System Settings to be completely blank, preventing the Java Control Panel from appearing? Java seems to be working correctly for me. Is this a bug in Java or its installer? Could it be an issue with my macOS installation? Should I restore my Mac to factory settings via the System Settings to try and fix this?

Thank you very much for your replies. Best regards.

does anybody know if there's any way to bring back coverflow to the music app on macOS sonoma? I love it and i wish i could just scroll through my albums like I do on my iPod and iPhone 4s

I mean honestly ive been holding off from buying a macbook only because i dont want to pay for the pro only because of the display. And its heavy too, I just want a light macbook with a good display.

Is it so hard for Apple to put an OLED or at least a mini LED screen in the macbook air??? Like most of the people who buy the more “budget” macs are people who use it for basic tasks, WATCHING MOVIES AND CONSUME MEDIA. I dont want to watch movies on IPS displays in 2026!!

Im literally considering buying the iPad pro just because of the screen and i dont want an iPad😭😭😭

Hi everyone!

I have a 2017 MacBook Air with 121 GB of flash storage, of which only 23 GB are currently available. It’s still working reasonably well, but I’m running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and haven’t been able to update the operating system for years. Or course I’ve tried to delete all possible junk to do so.

Buying a new laptop isn’t an option for me at the moment, so I’m trying to figure out what I can do to keep this MacBook usable and up to date.

What would you recommend? Are there any ways to upgrade macOS on this model, free up enough storage to install a newer version, or improve its performance without spending too much money?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have dealt with the same issue with an older MacBook Air.

Thanks in advance!

1. One thing I miss about windows is everything, you type in a few word and the file list come out instantly. I try raycast and spotlight but it's just not as good.

2. Creat new files. In the windows, you can right click in the blank and creat a word, ppt, or txt, MD. but on Mac you can't do that.

3. After updating to macOS 27, I get this ghost title at the upper left corner (fig 1)that wouldn't go away.

any suggestion would be appreciated.

My 16” MBP 2019 starts throttling to 1990s level speeds the moment the GPU is switched on, even when the temperatures are well below 70C. Apparently this is due to the VRMs overheating, causing them to reduce power to the CPU and GPU. In extreme cases, power is completely cut from the GPU, causing the screen to go black after only 5 minutes of playing games. Do other Intel MacBook Pros suffer from this issue? I heard the 15” 2019 doesn’t throttle at all, so is that a better option in some ways?

Could someone help me fix a problem on my Mac where no matter how many davinci resolve downloads I make it always resets to this screen and don’t comment on how dirty my screen is only comments to help my problem

I mostly am at work so my brother is using it. He is extremely into graphics and video edits.

Please suggest how he can use it to it's best potential.

Just so I can act cool with my brother and suggest him and navigate him towards the right direction

Hi, so I installed Minecraft on my mac and everytime I try to open it it prompts me to type in the password for the „login“ keychain. I tried my normal user password, that didn’t work. I tried changing my user password and resetting the keychain settings to default, also didn’t work. I tried to go through access control on the specific keychain and click „allow all applicants access to this item“, and that just causes it to stop responding. I’ve tried restarting my laptop, and just tried all I’ve just said a couple times. Can anyone help?

Update: I tried completely deinstalling and reinstalling Minecraft, also no success. The app does open to the log in page, but then I’m again prompted to put in a keychain password and the same problems as explained above occur again.

This is just to share information and only one suggestion asked.I might be sharing this post to other related sub.

This is a story of my friend,not mine.

So,What happened is few days ago,Friend done replacement of display and keyboard of his MBA...After 5 days, He spill(8-10 sips) the water(RO drinking water) of his MBA mistakenly...then he drained out...Tried to dry it by hair dryer..It seemed that the mac is dried...He tried checking this with closing the display/laptop...When he opened the mac,He found water inside display,then he kept in this position(90 degree as we use the laptop) in around 3 days,The water dried slowly and gave this device to Apple authorised service center when there very small bubbles inside the display and service center told that they will change the display...

Now that have checked the device throughly but didn't find any issue in it including liquid damage...In due process,Apple has a policy to check minutely if the device has corrosion or liquid issue...So they found none.

My question here is Should he check the device with official apple repair center or should he accept that the service center is correct...He/I doubt that the technician might have missed anything,Any person who can help me in this decision..

Like clockwork, every time the Mac lineup is updated in any way over half of the comments are about someone's M1 and how it "still runs just fine" and they "couldn't imagine upgrading."

We get it. Your laptop still meets your needs. Apple makes great, long-lasting, high performance products. Know what else that means? Your workloads don't exceed the capability of your hardware. That isn't a flex.

"Who is this for??" is answered in three ways. People who need a new laptop. People who want a new laptop. People whose work demands more performance than the current setup offers.

This might blow the minds of the average 18 year old Redditor, but people who can get another 20% out of their hardware will make that back in about a week. The upgrade is a no brainer for them. You are not in that camp. We get it.
