    Is my new Macbook pro a lemon or does mac just not run games that well?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:59 PM PST

    I just bought a 16 inch macbook pro and even though I didn't buy it for gaming I still would like to use it for game such as League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Fortnite etc. But my Mac seems to not want to run some of these games the way I thought it would.

    Fortnite takes forever to load into a match and by the time I load in the match is already 3 minutes in.

    League feels choppy at times most of the time it is pretty smooth but in heavy team fights i get what feels like pretty hard hiccups.

    Starcraft 2 I cant run it higher than medium settings or else I get frame rate in the low 40's to 30's

    Diablo 3 is the same story as League.

    What Im getting at is that I had a Sony laptp from 2013 that could run these games better than this brand new expensive machine. Is this normal or is my machine not working properly?

    [Question] macOS Catalina Boot Problem

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:11 PM PST

    Hey Guys i have an Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012 on Catalina. A few days ago my Macbook suddenly only start with Windows 10 Bootcamp. As i didnt figured out how to start with macOS i erased the whole disk and made a new install, after that i installed catalina and recovered my data from my Time Machine Backup.

    So everything was done and i want to create a new bootcamp partition but it failed and gave my an error which says i have to boot in recovery mode.

    So i made a reboot and want to get into recovery mode, but i only got a folder icon with a question mark.

    I booted with Internet Recovery and the disk utility says that disk0s2 isnt mounted and i can not set it as mounted.

    I tested the disk with TechTool Pro and it says my disk is ok.

    Do you have any idea how i can get macOS working again?

    MacBook suddenly extremely slow and stuck on load up. Currently trying to factory reset but it won’t bring me to utilities

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:48 PM PST

    My MacBook suddenly became extremely slow for some reason just now and I closed it to see if restarting works. Upon restarting it was functioning at the same speed and I try to shut it down again. Restarting the MacBook suddenly takes MUCH MUCH longer (usually takes 1 minute) and I can't even get into utilities to wipe the entire MacBook clean. I really need it to work especially for tomorrow. I don't even know why it randomly happened. Help??

    Why Siri telling me that it’s having trouble connecting when I ask to translate in Arabic?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:29 PM PST

    Translation not working

    Sometimes I ask Siri to translate this word to this language when I'm trying to ask some thing to someone in that language.

    For some reason Arabic is not working, it's been working OK but today every time I use it it says "Sorry I'm having trouble with the connection" but when I ask it in a different language it translates fine but every time I ask her in Arabic, Siri tells me that same error message.

    Why?

    Why is iCloud so complicated...

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:43 PM PST

    I've been using it for years and still get files deleted etc.

    So I have on my Macbook and iMac the iCloud and all checkmarked and the documents and folders etc all check marked.

    Then some things will update from one to the other like one document I have on the desktop, but then folders with documents in them don't update....

    Then I read you should uncheck them and re-check them to make them update, and now suddenly the files in the folder I wanted updated are deleted leaving behind a few that I'm guessing synced a while back.

    Any way to remedy this?

    Thank you.

    EDIT: I re-checked the iCloud, etc and documents and folders in my iMac and the documents aren't reappearing either. But I could see on my Macbook the files had been deleted. Thanks

    iMac screen refuses to stay off

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 07:25 PM PST

    I've been trying to solve this for weeks but I can't find any fix, so I thought I might throw it out there to see if anyone has had the same issue:

    Basically, the screen on my 27" 2019 iMac will not stay off. If I put it to sleep it will go dark for a couple of seconds and then turn on again. After a while it will just alternate a few seconds off (when it tries to put the display to sleep per the power saver schedule), and then 15 seconds or so on, and repeat. No matter what I do the display will not stay off, and it won't enter sleep.

    I have tried everything, every reset I can find, I've turned off wake for network access, run without any peripherals, booted into safe mode, tried alternate users, and finally reinstalled my operating system...the problem persists. There is nothing running in the activity monitor that interferes with sleep mode.

    My next step is to just wipe the thing and start over, but before I went down that road I'd love to see if anyone had any ideas.

    Thanks!

    App Store refuse to refund multiple charges

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 02:21 PM PST

    Hi everyone! Here is a problem I am completely furious about: I bought my 6 year old son a new Minecraft world for 4.99 But when I looked at my credit card statement I saw a huge charge of 29.94 ?!! So I looked at my purchase history and found out I was charged 6!!!! times for the same download!! So I tried to request a refund but could do it there. I started a chat with the Apple help and they refused to refund me! How is it ok? How can they possibly charge me multiple times for the same download. As far as my understanding, if you pay for it ones and downloaded it then it's done, you use it free every time you open it. You can't even pay for it again if you try!!! Help!!!

    Is the 2019 iPad worth it?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 10:08 PM PST

    iPad 2019 worth it?

    Hello! I'm currently a university student looking to invest in an iPad. I mainly want to use it for taking notes and to watch YouTube videos. That being said, I have a few concerns. I had one of the early generation iPads and found over a couple years (1-2) the quality of the iPad drastically deteriorated. Of course slowness over the years is to be expected but I guess what I'm asking is has this changed at all? Obviously it will be hard to tell with the 2019 model but has it changed with 5th or 6th generation models? Do you get more years out of the iPad now than with previous models?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    iPhone 7 Plus stuck on 'No Service' even without a sim card

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 05:37 PM PST

    Hello.

    My iPhone 7 Plus is stuck searching for service even when I don't have a sim card inside. When I put a sim in, nothing happens and it continues to say No Service in the top left corner. I tried resetting the iPhone with iTunes, and now it's stuck on the activation screen and says 'Unable to Activate', an Update is required to activate your iPhone.

    I'm not sure what to do. I've looked everywhere and I can't fix it.

    Thank you

    Enjoy .flac music files on Apple Music?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 09:11 PM PST

    iPhone XR IOS 13.3

    I've recently made the switch from Android to IOS and I've noticed I can't so much as find a free file conversion app to convert my .flac files to whatever lossless files are supported by Apple (I'm guessing stuff like .wav or whatever ALAC is?). I have a LOT of stuff that is in lossless format that is not available on the App Store and any help I can get to listen to it is greatly appreciated.

    iPhone XR black screen of spinny wheel death

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 08:44 PM PST

    I'm freaking out a little bit here :(

    I have an iPhone XR and have had no issues up until today. I was closing a few apps when my screen froze, and nothing was helping it. I did the hard reset on it, but it freaked out. It's been on the black screen with the loading spinning wheel for upwards of 40 minutes as of the time of this post, and it won't do anything else. Is it broken, or is there something I can still do to try and make my phone snap out of it?

    Thank you!

    Problem with putting a call on hold

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 04:33 PM PST

    I have an iPhone 5s and it has the latest software for iOS 12. (12.4.5)

    I looked in the tips app and it says that you can put a call on hold if you press and hold the mute button for a few seconds. When I try it shows it's on hold for a split second and then goes back to the normal call screen, even when my finger's still holding the mute button.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Bought MBP off eBay that apparently has its serial number linked to a company. What do I do now?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 04:26 PM PST

    Note for mods: I do not want advice circumventing the lock. I want advice what to do to with the laptop.

    Recently I bought a 2013 MacBook Pro off eBay - it was in great shape and a suspiciously good deal. The photos showed it booted up to the desktop and everything looked good.

    I received the laptop and booted it up to the Mac OS setup. During the setup i connected to WiFi, and then right after I saw a screen saying "Remote Management" and that it was owned by a decently well known company. I hit continue and it proceeded to download a bunch of files from this company's servers.

    I hit continue through setup, and rather than prompting me to set up a user account, it threw me to the logon screen with "This laptop is property of (company). If found please call (phone number)".

    Great.

    I called the phone number and got their IT department. I proceeded to tell them the above. They asked for my full name, the seller's full name, and the serial number. They told me they'd get back to me. I haven't heard from them since. I attempted to call them back today and my call went immediately to voicemail.

    I also reached out to the eBay seller. He claims this was unexpected, he had no idea what it was, and offered to take it back and attempt to remove the lock.

    Obviously this laptop is incredibly suspicious. I don't expect the company to do anything except potentially call the authorities, and I don't think the seller is telling the truth.

    The question is, what do I do now? I want to ask the seller for a refund and send it back, but I also don't want to send it back and then find out that the company had it stolen and wants me to send it to them (when I won't have it anymore).

    This is insanely stressful and I just want to be done with this laptop. What should I do?

    Should I replace the power cord or just use electrical tape? It still continues to charge and power my MacBook Pro.

    Should I return my airpods and immediately buy new ones?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 03:53 PM PST

    I'm within the 14 days return policy, and a have had a couple issues in my first week;

    1) a few times now the right airpod hasn't turned on when put in ear, so sound only comes from one side.

    2) The case when opened doesn't pop up unless its very close to my iphone, smaller range than expected (but maybe this is normal)

    3) My airpods case drained down to 18% after 1 day of moderate usage, my airpods were used probably no more than 5 hours in total i'd estimate.

    Any advice on what my best move would be?

    is my iMac a lost cause?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 03:49 PM PST

    My 2012 27" iMac started acting painfully sluggish after updating to Catalina, so I decided to restore to the factory OS. After wiping the drive & doing a re-install, been seeing several issues. I copied my music library back to the internal HD from a Time Machine backup, & noticed the UI being jerky. It went back to normal after I disconnected the external drive from USB. Next, my wireless keyboard & mouse stopped responding. The batteries are pretty new. I had to do a hard shutdown, & after restarting, they worked again. But when I went to log in, after typing in my password, it's stuck on the login screen, I'm getting a spinning "waiting" wheel & the pointer went beachball. It's been like that for a few hours now.

    Do these sound like symptoms of a logic board on the way out, or some other irrepairable hardware fault?

    Help connecting external monitor with my 2019 MBP... Please?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 06:35 PM PST

    Hello,

    I just purchased an external monitor (a Dell P2419HC) to connect to my 2019 Macbook Pro (2.4gHz, 4 port model). The monitor has a USB-C connection. However, I can't get the connection to work with my MBP (which is also new). I have the monitor plugged in to the electric of course. I've tried the USB-C cord that came with the monitor, more than 1 Apple-brand USB-C cord, different ports, the MPB plugged in, unplugged, and I can't get it to work.

    When I click on "detect displays," I can't get it to detect anything. The only change I've noticed is there is a profile for the monitor in the displays menu in system preferences.

    Please help!

    I know that this monitor has worked for others because of the countless reviews I've seen (which lead me to buying it) of people who use it with their MBP! I bought the 13" for its portability for walking around campus, but a bigger screen for using it at home would be wonderful.

    Thank you!

    Neal

    How to access iphones HDD to select certain videos to download?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2020 12:12 PM PST

    I know there are 3rd party applications to do this like iExplorer, but I cant find the reason to pay $40 just to basically select certain albums I want to download off my camera roll onto my computer to free up space on my iphone. Is there any way to browse through my iPhone as is or is 3rd party software the only way to do this? (Im on PC btw)
