| Spacebar on macbook air came off Posted: 01 Aug 2019 10:56 PM PDT My spacebar key keeps coming off. Is it safe to continue using the laptop with the key detached (the button still works), or should I try to cover up the exposed area with tape? [link] [comments]  | ||

| High refresh rate external monitor Posted: 01 Aug 2019 05:56 PM PDT Hi, I recently bought a mini DP to DP cable to hook up my 2014 MacBook Air to my 144hz monitor. I plugged everything in and the display was shown on the monitor, but when I went into display settings, the refresh rate was locked and said 59.88 Hertz (NTSC). Is there any way to set the refresh rate higher? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Truly Terrible experience with Apple Customer Service. Posted: 01 Aug 2019 04:11 AM PDT My Macbook Pro 2018 15" was purchased in February 2019. July 1st, 2019: Noticed TrackPad was lifted on the right essentially matching the palm rest height. Set up a repair at local Apple store with a Genius and away it went. July 8th: MacBook picked it up from Apple store, noticed right away the TrackPad was lifted but on the opposite side now. Also the top case they used had visible scratches and micro dents on at least one of the USB C ports. Talked to rep before I left and was told TrackPad was within tolerance even when questioning why none of the display models exhibit the same "cosmetic" issue. Told me to take a hike in a polite way and didn't care about my concerns. July 10th: Sent it in again along with with other minor issues. This time I decided to talk directly to Apple Online and setup repair with chat customer service, would save me time and driving far. The closest Apple Retail store is 40-45 mins one way. July 18th: Received unit back. New issues: Tiny tiny dent/chip on the new TOP CASE located on the top left, not happy but I can live with it. Touchbar seems wonky or less sensitive on right, works consistently better when "grounding" the left side of the Touchbar strip. Mentioned to tech support that possibly a software issue or normal to all Touchbar MacBooks, not overly concerned, I have no way to compare to another 15" 2018 at the time. Also has a defective letter "B" on keyboard, which is the more serious issue. July 22nd: Sent out again to Apple depot for repair. July 29th: I received it back with a piece of paper stating they could not replicate the issue with Touchbar and no work was done on the machine. Apple Repair status online mentioned the MacBook had been repaired which is confusing. Noticed the MacBook was Reset to Factory default (not stated on the letter) and keyboard was returned with a unusable letter "B" still. Time to ring Apple again, I am on the phone with a Senior rep (for 2 unnecessary hours), guy had an attitude that was repulsive and condescending, very unprofessional. In the end told me he could offer to help me setup another work order and possibly have them ship parts to the local Apple store and have them perform another top case replacement locally. Made an appointment myself for later in the day and went it and explained the situation to a rep, says he's sorry that it's a crappy situation. (yeah, no shit) He goes in the back for a few mins and returns to tell me they actually do have the parts in stock and the best he can do is offer to repair it for a third time in store but it will take anywhere from 24 to 48. OK, I unwillingly accept the offer. I have next 2 days off from work to pick it up just in case. July 31st: It's been 48 hours and now we are approaching day 3 of this repair, I do not receive any calls or email updates. Call the store 2 hours before closing and I am re directed (because nobody ever picks up at that store) to a really nice and helpful Senior Rep (finally). Turns out even the Senior rep himself can't get a hold of this retail store and we are both on hold for 10 mins. Eventually he is able to get in touch with someone in the store and is informed there was a slight hiccup getting the parts necessary to perform the repair which caused a delay, and more time will be needed in order to complete the repair and run diagnostics. (The genius assured me they already had the parts in store) That's it in a nutshell. All in all it's been almost a month without the MacBook and certainly over $1600+ in repairs, tons of wasted hours and not one hint of special consideration for the situation. Apple has ruined the fun of owning a MacBook, really disappointed. To be continued... ps1: English is not my primary language. ps2: This is more of a rant than a SOB story and I needed to vent out. Apologies in advance [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 01 Aug 2019 08:10 AM PDT So I just bought the new 2019 base model MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago. After a few days I notice the screen intermittently flashes black/red bands near the bottom half of the screen. This often happen more when I first open the MacBook then intermittently after. I first thought this is loose display cable and return the MacBook 2 days ago for a new one. Now 2 days in with this new one, the same problem occur, the only difference is I only see the black bands and no red bands this time. I have no access to an external monitor at the moment to see if this is a display cable issue. So, what could be the issue here? Is this a software problem or apple quality controls have fallen so low that this happen so often now? Any apple Tech here know if this is a Hardware related issue? What should I do? Return this one aswell? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 01 Aug 2019 11:19 AM PDT Just bought a MacBook Pro 2015 (i5) for $100. Only thing wrong is cracked screen. Should I sell it as is or upgrade to a new screen and sell it or keep it for college? (Regardless I'm getting profit, $100 for a 4 year old Mac lol) [link] [comments]  | ||
| Macbook Pro 13’: water damage, am I screwed? Posted: 01 Aug 2019 10:40 AM PDT So, today I left my house for less than an hour and I didn't expect that a storm would show up. Unfortunately, there were open roof windows and it rained into my room. When I saw it, I (a big idiot) just used a paper towel to dry the water (the laptop was closed, but plugged in) and checked whether it works. It did, apart from the speakers. I also dried with a blowdryer all the cables, including the charger, checked if it worked (it did, but one port was like flickering, I mean the lightning symbol on the screen) and I thought to myself: I did a stupid thing, I should not have done it. Then I turned off and closed the laptop, put it on my desk upside down, and here I am writing this post, using my phone. What should I do now, if all the services nearby are closed? I plan on going tomorrow in the morning, but is there anything I can do? There wasn't much water, but I think the speakers and ports might have suffered a lot. Thank you for your help.

| Suggestion for buying a mouse. Posted: 01 Aug 2019 10:17 AM PDT I am using a MacBook Pro. I am using a Targus USB C converter to connect my peripherals. I am considering to buy a new mouse and keyboard. Will the USB converter add delay to wired peripherals. Is the delay big enough to consider buying bluetooth peripherals. I don't like input lag.

| What happens if apple cannot fix my mbp? Posted: 01 Aug 2019 06:57 AM PDT Hello All, My 2015 13" rMBP was frequently freezing, requiring me to restart the laptop. First, they had me reset NVRAM and SMC which did not resolve the problem. Then I reset the laptop to factory and with a clean install it was still occurring. Second, I brought it in to the store and they were unable to locate a problem via diagnostic tests and suggests I take it home to see if it fixed itself. Issue occurred the first evening I had it home. Third, I brought it back in and they replaced the logic board. After the logic board replacement it was okay for a week, but it has started to occur again with increasing frequency. I booked another appointment to drop it off to be looked at this evening. I use my laptop daily for work and school, so losing it for another week while they look at it is a real pain in the butt. I'm really not in a financial place to be purchasing a new laptop right now, otherwise I would probably just trade this one in. It is incredibly frustrating. Does anyone have any experience with repeated failed attempts to correct an issue, and how were you able to get it resolved? [link] [comments]  | ||
