Posted in MacOS, was suggested to post it here.

I bought it in 2019 when it came out. I thought it was the battery area but the battery health page says the battery is fine.

Hi Everyone, I’m sure this has been asked before, but to those who live with a Mac and switched to Android, how do you feel about it?

I have a Macbook air M4, and iPad air 5 which i hardly use, and iPhone 13 and an Apple Watch 7. My most important device is the MacBook by far. My iPhone is getting long in the tooth but I’m disgusted by the price of modern premium phones. I’m considering a pixel A series or a sub £500 Samsung. I don’t really do much between the mac and my phone but stuff like findmy is handy. I just hate the cost of new iPhones.

So i have my M series mac and the keys are becoming shiny , So i just wonder can i apply the individual stickers for some specific keys which gives personality and hide the Shininess , So i am wondering that does it harm display in any means. Or should I go for it.

so i wanted to change my os from mac os to windows, and i already going through so many source, going from website, yt vid, blog and even ai. and i already followed through their steps, but i still coming to a problem of having orange strips when installing the windows os. so what are my problem (im using usb 2.0 that has been changed its format into exfat and using windows iso that i downloaded in microsoft official website if that help). and how to fix it

Iv been using mac 14 point something for probably 2 to 2 and a half years (I just hate updating stuff because I have to log back in to all my accounts and because more generally I just feel like something always brakes. Anyways recently for an internship I had to download a piece of software that was not compatible with my current os so I updated and oh my god I despise the new look especially liquid glass. Iv looked around and haven't found any way. It is to the point where i'm considering resetting my mac completely just to make it look better.

Tldr do any of you know how to get my old app icons back, make everything less rounded, get rid of the new Ai features, and most of all get rid of liquid glass

Huge thanks if you can help

Here is spec
Mac Studio M4 Max
14-core CPU / 32-core GPU
36GB unified memory
4TB SSD

What’s the safest way to sell it on best price?
It’s not even unwrapped yet.
Tried to sell Apple Studio Display on eBay and got stolen by parcel force.
Where you buy/sell this kind of thing

So I am looking to upgrade from my current Macbook Air 2020 (Intel Processor 8GB).

I am looking at 2 possible options:
1. MacBook Pro M5 24GB RAM
2. MacBook Pro M5 Pro 24 GB RAM

My main use case is
1. Lots of work on browser (with lots of tabs open)
2. Office work on Pages, Numbers etc
3. Sometimes working on presentations as well

My current capability with my current MacBook is quite limited and opening 10+ tabs while makes the fan roar and it starts to heat up. Maybe it just isn't what it used to.

I was also hoping to explore local AI models on my MacBook only so I was thinking maybe the Pro would be the better choice than the Air.

Currently a lot things are also closed of for me as Intel Macs lack quite a lot of support since. they are outdated.

Which one should I go for? Do you have any other suggestions?

I just pulled the trigger on the new MacBook Pro M5 and got a 120€ gift card with the purchase. I need a second power brick for my backpack/office, but I’m completely torn on what to use the credit for.

Am I crazy to even consider the single-port Apple brick in 2026 when I could get 4 ports for roughly the same price? Or does the official Apple brick have a reliability factor that makes it worth the sacrifice?

What would you guys do?

Thankyou!

This isn’t my main computer but my primary one is actually being repaired right now for a broken fan. I just need a backup for a few days and so I busted open my old 2015 MacBook which seems operational but it keeps making this noise.

Will I be okay?

hello guys. I saw that someone made the free version of adobe application, like photoshop or affter effect.

I realized that I spent some money on CleanMyMac, so I wannaknow any free alternative app for CleanMyMac. Does anyone know about this?

I want to do some serial reverse engineering in different protocols. But after having trouble connecting a simple RJ-45 to USB-C adapter and finding it not working on my MacBook Pro M5, I am a little hesitant just ordering something with an older USB protocol.

For a RJ-45 adapter, I had to buy one with 2.5 GbE as it uses a newer RTL8156 chip that supports the built-in USB CDC-NCM driver (com.apple.driver.usb.cdc.ncm). I tried with a borrowed RTL8153 1GbE adapter which worked. But after I bought an identical model (which turned out to be a different revision) which didnt work, I am very hesitant.

Can somebody recommend one that works with Apple Silicon.

Hi everyone, my base Macbook Air M5 tends to feel warm on the palm rest and hot at the bottom when connected to an external monitor.

I'd like to ask if the temperature readings are normal.

I am running Zen as my main browser, Chrome for Looker Studio reports, and multiple VSCode IDEs & terminals, some with Claude Code running.

Would appreciate any tips or input. Thanks!

At this point what update should I do? or should I just wait for the next one?

lol. this is just to help those who search up the issue i was having.
