    Apple Macbook In need of some advice.


    In need of some advice.

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 06:37 PM PST

    Hey everyone, I have a question about a MacBook I currently want to purchase and need some advice from someone who knows better than I do. Essentially, I'm looking to purchase a mid-2012 13'' model, with the hope of upgrading the ram to 16gb and replacing the HD with an SSD. What do you guys think? Has anyone gone through with this before? I've been a long-time admirer of the MacBook, it's just expensive for a college student to fork over nearly 1500CAD (after taxes). I've had some success finding the model for under $500CAD (even some as low as $399). Any sort of feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks again guys, means the world!

    None of the USB-C ports on my MBP 2017 work?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 08:36 PM PST

    Just received my computer today. I'm trying to charge it but none of the ports seem to work. Am I supposed to go somewhere to "unlock" the ports or is my computer defective?

    Does a thunderbolt 3- to -DVI-D cable exist?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 05:54 PM PST

    I'm trying to connect a 30" dell ultra sharp monitor that takes DVI-D to a 2017 Macbook Pro 15" with thunderbolt 3. I've tried a few different HDMI to DVI-D cables plugged into my Aukey hdmi thunderbolt 3 hub but no success. Can someone help me find a cable that will work with this monitor?

    Advice Wanted on Large Monitor for New MacBook Pro

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 05:15 PM PST

    I'll be purchasing a new 15" MacBook Pro soon, and I'd like to it set up in a workstation at which to do word processing, graphic editing, music typesetting, and other tasks (including the usual email and web browsing).

    I do a lot of word processing and page layout work, and I'd like to be able to display full pages without scrolling up and down. I'd also like to have enough horizontal screen territory to display other applications side-by-side along with said word processing. In addition, my vision isn't great, so I'd like to be able to set up this monitor so that the fonts in the OS and word processing aren't too small for me to read. Right now I have a 27" 16x9 monitor and I can't fit a full page on it without viewing documents at too small a percentage for me to read comfortably.

    How big a monitor do you think I should get for this purpose? Should I go 4K? 5K? Are there other considerations I should keep in mind?

    Early 2011 - how can i dual monitor?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 01:17 PM PST

    Hi, I would kill to dual monitor on this laptop to finish up my thesis abit quicker. The smaller laptop screen is okay but i would love to know if there is a way to run 2 monitors. I saw usb to vga, but i do not think these usb ports are 3.0 so apprently as far as i could find, most usb-vga will output 800x600. I have 2 small 20inch lcds an old student donated to me. So far I can only hook one up with the thunderbolt. Was hoping to run the laptop screen and the 2 monitors. This would be a blessing - any chance anyone knows how? preferably a cheap way.

    Macbook decides to be a cunt, restarts itself randomly

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 10:26 AM PST

    Helo, so I have a MacBook Pro 2010, that for the past few months hard restarts multiple times, I'm talking about 20 times a day at least. It happens more often when I use Safari or visit one of those "scroll for more content" type of pages such as FB, for example.

    Very amusingly it does not restart as much when I am using Photoshop or other programs that take quite a lot of operational space. It comes in chunks, when it restarts once, I know I can except it at lest two or three more times until it's safe to start working on something again. I get the "your PC restarted because it ran into a problem" kinda crap afterwards and below is the report I got after looking at more details (not the whole thing, just the panic bit).

    Fri Jan 26 19:03:22 2018

    *** Panic Report *** panic(cpu 0 caller 0xffffff7f8454f96a): "GPU Panic: [<None>] 5 3 >7f 0 0 0 0 3 : NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: CFG >0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0xd2000000 0xffffff911d249000 >0x0a5480a2, D0, P2/4\n"@/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-3.13.79/src/AppleMuxControl/kext/GPUPanic.cpp:127

    I tried to clean it up but I am no expert and it didn't work, I could really use some help since I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.

    Possible fix to missing arrow keys on >= 2016 models?

    Posted: 26 Jan 2018 10:12 AM PST

    2015 and earlier had shorter left and right arrow keys which made them really easy to hit, whereas the new arrow keys are fullsize which makes repetitive tasks like up arrow in terminal easy to miss.

    So I've thought about adding a tiny dip with a glue gun on the top arrow key -- thoughts?
