Any outstanding orders have basically got early access to pre orders it looks like! Was originally M5 so that’s good they’ve done that. Would’ve been brutal if they didn’t. I’ll take the extra few days wait 👨🏼‍💻

My Mac How do I fix finder?

  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 Mac How can I update my 2017 MacBook Air without buying a new one?

• Upvotes

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!

Question Do other 15” Intel MacBook Pros have the same VRM issue as the 16”?

• Upvotes

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?

Question Login keychain help

1 Upvotes

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.

My Mac Reliable printer for Mac, any suggestions?

5 Upvotes

I currently have a 2023 Mac Mini running MacOS Golden Gate. Computer works fine, my printers however are something all together. I am looking to print regular documents and a few good quality photos on occasion. I have tried HP printers and they cannot print photos a 5x7 or 4x6 sheet. I recently bought an Espon EcoTank 8500 and printing looks great for both photos and docs. However, the printer constantly goes offline even though it still shows connected to wifi. I am always having to restart the printer or remove and then re-add the printer. If anyone can help, I just want a printer that prints photos and documents when I want it to. Thanks.

I'm pissed to see someone edit all their old comments with a completely unrelated ad. I'm sure the answer to this question was very good given how many votes it has. Now I know what NOT to buy or install.

Question M5 Macbook Air Liquid

3 Upvotes

So, I dripped some iced tea on my MacBook. Not too much but enough to say it could possibly lead to damage.

Went to ComSpot (Apple Premium Partner in Germany) and they gave me a fixed price for a repair. 1300€. ($1450)

The MacBook works! I can use it normally but supposedly there’s still the liquid inside. I cannot see myself paying that much money to “fix” it. How bad would it be to just continue using it like that with more caution.

Image For anyone alarmed by the download size of macOS 27.2...

Post image
66 Upvotes

...even though it’s a big download, it doesn’t seem to use any more space once it’s installed.

These screenshots are from my M1 MacBook Pro taken right before downloading/installing 27.2 and after. macOS storage itself is actually ~1 GB less.

The interesting thing here is the ~11 GB drop in my System Data. It seems like a win, but it’s actually cosmetic. For whatever reason, macOS 27.0.1 was counting purgeable storage as System Data (disk utility said I had 11.3 GB). This is something I don’t remember seeing in Tahoe.

When I installed 27.2 GB, my purgeable storage actually went up (to 31.3 GB) but doesn’t seem to count as System Data any more.
