    Apple Help Should I keep my macbook plugged in while using or drain the battery and then charge it?


    Should I keep my macbook plugged in while using or drain the battery and then charge it?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 06:41 AM PDT

    I use my m1 macbook air around 6 hours a day. It's more convenient for me to leave it plugged in while working, but is it better for the battery if I drain the battery and then charge it?

    I've searched online but I could only find articles of people that leave it in 24/7.

    Can Genius Bar clean my MacBook for me?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 09:52 PM PDT

    It's been over 4 years since I got it, and I've never cleaned it once. By cleaning I mean both internally and externally. I wonder if they can help me do that because I'm afraid I may damage it if doing that by myself. Thank you.

    iCloud problems :(

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 09:42 PM PDT

    Any tips for ICloud photo backups. I do have a TON of pics. So my fault for that. But photos from years ago aren't saved to my iCloud? It looks like it skips years? Any tips to fix this?

    Show all Safari windows keyboard shortcut

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 09:25 PM PDT

    I want a keyboard shortcut to trigger the view that I get when I right click Safari in the menu bar and select 'Show All Windows' - is there any way to do this? I'm on macOS BigSur 11.5.2.

    EDIT: I found it - use 'control+down arrow'. Changed it to alt+` (the key just above tab) which is much nicer.

    "The volume DCAXXXXXX was found corrupt and needs to be repaired" - what to do now?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 06:21 PM PDT

    I have some rather important things on this comp and I'm not so great with tech so I don't want to do the wrong thing. A while ago I needed to run windows so I partitioned the internal HD and ran bootcamp for windows on the partition. Something wacky happened. I don't recall exactly what since it's been some time but I recall not being able to update OS. Well I need to run windows again so I purchased an external HD to try to get around all this corrupt HD bs. Well turns out I need the most up to date OS to run some of the programs I need to make run windows off the external HD.

    I ran first aid and it said corrupt and to fix it by booting into recovery mode and repairing it there. I booted into recovery and ran first aid and it says "first aid process has failed. if possible back up the data on this volume. click done to continue.

    Unable to bootstrap transaction group 3483190: inconsistent crosscheck

    No valid commit checkpoint found

    The volume DCA (whole bunch of #'s and letters) was found corrupt and needs to be repaired

    Storage system check exit code 1.

    storage system verify or repair failed.

    Operation failed ... "

    I'm not sure what to do from here now.

    What to do to fix this ? Tried resetting, logging in and out of iCloud, clearing storage, updating IOS, turning off iCloud (which it didn’t let me do), I bought 200mb of storage for my photos and it won’t even let me use it!!

    My front camera randomly works.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 05:36 PM PDT

    About 4 months ago I dropped my iPhone XR in water and the front camera stopped working. (Just shows a black screen) All the sudden about 4 weeks ago the camera started working. Then after a few days it stopped. Now every few days it randomly starts to work for a few hours then stop. Is there something I'm doing to make it work? Or is there something I can do to make it work more often??

    Time machine reset and needed a new save

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 08:40 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I have a time capsule for OTA back ups of my MacBook. I was using it last night and was in a rush so I clicked through a pop up alert which said something about needing a new save.

    I realized that this wiped over a half a terabyte or backups.

    Sorry for little info but can anyone shed any light on this issue?

    I can try to provided some info if needed but I was in a rush and just clicked through it.

    If this is the wrong sub please point me where to go.

    Thank you, Callmesnek

    Restore from iCloud or Mac?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    I'm going to upgrade to iPhone SE from iPhone 7.

    I have 2 options. Restore from iCloud or Mac running Big Sur.

    Which one is better option?

    I would have preferred device to device transfer but that is not an option since I will be trading my existing iPhone 7 for the SE.

    I don't have the option of keeping the older phone until I can restore to the new device.

    I want as much data restored as possible including passwords, etc.

    Edit - This may seem like a asked and answered question here on reddit but since iOS 15 is a new thing relatively, maybe there is no difference between iCloud or local restore now?

    How come my two Apple Magic Trackpad 2 look different?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 08:04 PM PDT

    Hello, I have two Apple Magic Trackpad 2 bought 1 year apart but was surprised to see that there are some slight differences. I just wanted to ask if this was normal?

    You can see the image here: https://imgur.com/a/3r0gQIE.

    2020 trackpad:

    • Purchased in Sept 2020
    • Different corners from the one purchase in Sept 2021
    • Backplate is glossy/glassy (hard to tell from picture)
    • MCMC logo is printed
    • Purchased from authorized apple reseller (We don't have Apple stores in my country)

    2021 trackpad:

    • Purchased in Sept 2021
    • Corners are more round
    • MCMC logo is a sticker instead of printed
    • Backplate is matte (hard to tell from picture)
    • Purchased from authorized apple reseller (We don't have Apple stores in my country)

    Save my 2012 MacBook Pro! Purple/cyan screen glitch, it has done this maybe three times before but it returned to normal after a day or so each time. Any ideas on what could be causing it / potential fix? I need it for work and I’m stuck in quarantine in China…

    App Transfer from Old iPad Mini

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 07:17 PM PDT

    I backed up my old iPad (5th) via iTunes to my computer, and used that backup to restore my new Mini (6th).

    About 70GB of applications did not transfer, mostly paid ones. They are still on my old iPad, but no longer on the App Store.

    Is there a way to move those apps from my old Mini to the new one?

    Trackpad for iPhone

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 07:14 PM PDT

    Looking for a trackpad I can use to control the pointer in my phone using blue tooth. I've seen ones for desktops and ipads but not yet for iPhones. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

    Mac stuck on Catalina update

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 03:23 PM PDT

    Mac is stuck on Catalina update for 2 days now. Says 31min remaing and won't move after restarting. Won't allow me to boot into safe mode.

    Is there anyway to rollback or not do the update. So far all I can do is access the recovery many. I don't have any backup of my stuff.

    iCloud (not AppleID) is locked

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 07:00 PM PDT

    Hello all. I have been banging my head against a wall for months. Since about March 2020, my iCloud has been locked on devices only. Any time I try to login on my iPhone or my two macs, I get a message saying my account has been locked and to reset my password. Well I have reset my password 7 times. On iforgot.apple.com as well as from the iOS menu. I cannot get to my iCloud backups, iMessage, iTunes. I can sign into my purchases on the App Store. I can login at appleid.apple.com, icloud.com and anywhere else a browser login is useful.

    I have opened two cases with Apple about this. The support is dumbfounded. The first case they upgraded to their "engineers" and I never heard from them again. The second case, I feel is heading toward the same end since I have not heard anything from the engineers in a couple weeks.

    I guess I'm looking for guidance. I cannot get a straight answer on how AppleID and iCloud are intertwined. I understand they are supposed to be the same thing, but then why can I login to one system and not anything with the label "iCloud" on it? I have one iPad that has full access to everything and I have not logged out of it for fear that I will never be able to log in again.

    Should I just go to the genius bar with all of my devices and say '"here"? I've been working on this for hours tonight trying to get one side of my account to fully talk to the other side.. I'm so tired... thanks for your help

    Cannot remember screen time passcode, and the 'forgot passcode' button isn't showing up.

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 06:55 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm using an IPhone 11 on iOS 15, and I forgot my screen time passcode. When I search up how to fix it, everywhere says to use your apple id by clicking on the forgot passcode button. But theres one problem for me: the button isn't showing up. Anyone know any idea why this is, or how I could fix my problem with another method

    Will a WD external drive drive work well with Super Duper?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 06:00 PM PDT

    I want to start using the backup and clone software SuperDuper to create some hard drive clones. I was reading the User Guide, and it recommends getting a Lacie fire wire external hard drive: https://s3.amazonaws.com/com.shirtpocket/SuperDuper/SuperDuper.pdf

    I could be wrong but I thought fire wire wasn't even used any more? I'm wondering if this user guide is just super old.

    I was planning to use this external drive to store my hard drive clones: https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Elements-Portable-External/dp/B06W55K9N6/

    I have a 2017 MacBook Pro with a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor and Mac OS version 11.2.3 stalled.

    Will that Western Digital work well with SuperDuper or do I need to get a different drive?

    How to get Apple ID balance back....

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 05:36 PM PDT

    Hello friends!

    About an hour or two ago this fine evening, I idiotically fell for a gift card scam and purchased six $100 Apple gift cards and sent the codes to a STRANGER who emailed me disguised as my boss. Fortunately, I realized that I'd been scammed soon enough to redeem all the money (thank you, God!!!) to my Apple account balance.

    The problem is, now I have $600 on my Apple account. I'm not a regular apple user (I have apple tech for work but not personal use) so I didn't even know until today that I could even have money on my account.

    Is there any way to get this balance back into my bank account? Perhaps using Apple Pay or Wallet or something? I don't really know what to do next, and I would appreciate any help!!

    Thank you so much.

    Brother’s phone won’t turn on

    Posted: 30 Sep 2021 04:51 PM PDT

    Well, it can, but it's acting a bit odd. It can't unlock, call, or unlock the Lock Screen. Every attempt at shutting it off has been met with the swipe screen immediately disappearing. When I held the shut off thing for a couple of seconds, it called our local police station (luckily, there was a cop standing near where we were and he radioed in to the station saying it's nothing). We don't know what's happening, can someone help?
