    M1 max memory limitations??

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:52 PM PDT

    Just got my fully spec'd M1 max 16" [10core/32cgfx/64gb/8tb ssd]…

    I was doing a simple photo merge in photoshop when I received a Mac OS prompt reading: "Force quit applications: Your system has run out of application memory, to avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using" It kept popping up over and over, interrupting my work.

    Photoshop was using 43gb ram and Lightroom was using 19gb. I've done far larger and more memory intensive merges on my intel MBP machines over the years, and never seen a prompt like this. My i9 would plow through the 64gb ram limit by swapping to the ssd, and I've held

    Does anyone have any idea if this is an M1 SOC limitation or a new Monterey warning? I figured with such fast throughput and insane SSD speeds, the SOC would just start using the SSD/memory swap to never approach limits like this, but I'm basically dumbfounded that I stumped such a powerful device with a simple 24 image, 12mp photo merge.

    Any thoughts?

    I pressed forget device on my AirPods

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:28 PM PDT

    I pressed forget device on my AirPods a month ago and now they won't connect. I've been trying to connect to them and typed up solutions online and nothing. Not even coming up on devices until last night when I updated my phone and tried it. It gave me an animation to press the back and it did nothing so I tried it again and nothing's happened since. Can someone help?

    iPhone 8 Constantly Losing Signal

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:45 PM PDT

    I'd say within the past 10 months, my iPhone 8 has been randomly dropping signal while out-and-about. Granted I live in a rural area with a few cell-towers around, but my sister has the same kind of phone and has no issues (same cell service too).

    I'll walk or drive half a mile from home and my phone will say "No Service", then 1x, LTE (no bars), or 3G without any warning. Already tried resetting my phone, turning it on/off, and turning Airplane mode on/off, nothing works.

    Any suggestions?

    Will upgrading to 16GB on a MacBook Pro mid-2012 be enough for light gaming?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 01:52 PM PDT

    My mom found a MacBook Pro 2012 4GB and intel core i5 and everything works fine, the battery only has a few cycles on it. I was thinking of giving it to my little sister who likes playing Minecraft and Roblox, but it only has 4Gb and slow enough just browsing on it.

    I know I can spend like $113 on get 16GB Crucial ram kit, some screws, and watch YouTube vids on how to replace it myself (never done this before). But I just want to know if it'll be worth it, as in will the performance be good enough to play roblox/minecraft on?

    Can I return a MCB 2021 to an Apple store if I bought it from an official reseller? (UK)

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:31 PM PDT

    Bought the new MacBook 14" yesterday after saving up and when I opened it up for the 2nd time I noticed literally the tiniest dent on the right edge. It's so small that I felt it before I saw it but I was a little annoyed.

    But since the official reseller is far from my university I won't be able to travel back there to try and exchange it for a non scuffed one hence I'm wondering if I can return it at an official Apple store.

    Also I know that at least in the UK there is a bit of a shortage of the new MacBooks so I don't know if it would even be possible or worth trying to get a pristine one as I need it for work.

    Any advice is appreciated

    Any tips or methods to keep dog hair out of MacBook Pro?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:05 PM PDT

    I have a small dog that sheds and every MacBook I get ends up filled with dog hair. Really trying to break the cycle this time around with my new M1 Pro.

    Obviously - Deshed the dog. But he sheds a lot. So are there any practical tips you guys have? Like, use the computer on a tray when in bed is one I thought of. Stuff like that which might give me a fighting chance at keeping this thing sparkling new inside and out for the long haul.

    Thanks!

    MacBook can’t turn on after updating software

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    Help! After I updated my MacBook Air to macOS Monterey, it got stuck on the black Apple logo and progress bar. I tried holding down the power button, I heard the start up sound, but right now the progress bar is still stuck at about 90%. It hasn't moved in a few hours and I'm not sure what I should do now. Should I keep waiting? Did it take that long? Could anyone please help me? Thank you so much!

    Possible Apple Order Scam

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:41 PM PDT

    I recently bought an apple product, and I received a text message from "info@orders.apple.com" stating the exact model number, and the date it would be delivered. They also sent a link that started off with "https://apple.com/s/".

    Since I assumed that my order number was automatically private, I thought it might be real. I clicked the link and signed in. Upon further research it seems that I might have been scammed.

    I did in fact change my password, but am still confused and concerned as to how they got my product order number.

    EDIT:

    After talking to an apple specialist, here is what they had to say:

    " If it brought you to the official apple site and allowed you to log in with your Apple ID it is most likely not a scam. But to be sure I would advise changing all your passwords to your accounts. Yes that was an authentic email. "

    Me:

    How come it came from "@orders.apple.com", instead of "@apple.com"?

    Specialist:

    " This is possible because of the department it was sent from. "

    The reason I thought this message might be a scam is because of these forum posts:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251690459

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8600510

    If the messages are in fact legit, I'm guessing the individual that actually ordered products mistyped their phone number.

    EDIT 2:

    This is either an extremely clever scam and they have absolutely all my information, or it's completely legit.

    I had just found out I have been emailed by the domain "@orders.apple.com". Probably real then.

    Since this seems to be the case, apple should probably take down, or just lower the reply saying that it's a scam. All it does is create false fear, and false reports.

    Is there a time limit as to when you can trade in an Apple device?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:35 PM PDT

    I traded in my Series 5 about 10 days after I got my Series 7 recently and they gave me the "refund" to my Apple Card. I recently bought the new MBP and looking to trade in my old one. I think I have 14 days to do so, correct?

    I also have an old iPad Pro I would like to trade in, but I bought my iPad months ago. Could this also be traded in and refunded to my Apple Card? Or does it have to be within a certain timeframe?

    iPhone was stolen and I’m not getting it back, is there some support group I can talk with?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:56 AM PDT

    My iPhone 12 was stolen on Thursday while waiting for a bus stop, I didn't even remember what the thief wore. I immediately put it in Lost Mode from my iPad.

    I contacted the police and they actually found the thief. However, since I wasn't descriptive enough and he didn't have the phone in his possession, they let him go.

    Since then, I am very sure the iPhone was erased, as I got a message from "Apple" telling me my iPhone was found and that there was a link where you could see its location, though when I clicked on it the links were just a way to harvest my login. I gave them garbage data, but the iPhone is still offline.

    So, anyone else had similar stories of theft? I'm just sad about the whole thing, my wallet was lost and not returned but that was a separate incident. The phone's long gone now, I guess I'm just still taking a while to accept this.

    iPhone trade in in store?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:38 PM PDT

    Does anyone have any experience doing an iPhone trade in in person at an Apple store? If so can you tell me the process? I've always done it online/via mail. But my mother is coming to town for Thanksgiving, and want to get a new phone and have me set it up and all that jazz.
    So we wanted to go that weekend to a nearby Apple store and get last years 12 and trade in her XS.

    Question about family sharing and subscriptions

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:14 PM PDT

    Question about family sharing and subscriptions

    Soooo, I just noticed it automatically ticked "share new subscriptions with family" in my subscriptions area on settings after I went to cancel one of those trials. And it has a list of all the apps I've had subscriptions with in the past, including grindr.

    PLEASE tell me my family can't see that. PLEASE tell me my family doesn't have this same list I'm their settings app.

    Battery life of the 13 pro??

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:07 PM PDT

    Hey guys thinking of switching from galaxy 21 ultra Exynos to a 13 pro, bit unsure about the battery life on the 13 pro, I've seen reviews but they mainly talk about the pro max. I don't want the pro max. Too big. Which is why the 13 pro is a great choice for me..

    How much screen on time do you guys get? I'm quite a heavy user when I'm not working. Always have blue tooth and wi Fi enabled, always on 5g.

    Thanks for your input

    Apple store says my order is stuck in their back end system… no one able to fix

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:05 PM PDT

    Place on the apple store app, financed via citizens one. Citizens one has confirmed the loan was approved. Apple confirms the order exists, but they cannot see it in their main "system"

    Any help would be great appreciated.

    FaceTime stopped working when I add as a contact

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 02:18 PM PDT

    How's it going? I bought my daughter the new iPad. She doesn't have a phone number but an email address assigned to it. I called her from my iPhone using FaceTime and her email address. It worked no problem. Sent her a text from my phone and it worked.

    I added her email to my contacts list and now both functions don't work. I can't FaceTime or text her. She has to initiate the FaceTime or text.

    Any idea to what a fix for this would be?

    Thank you.

    Is there a way to improve the intelligence of “left behind” notifications?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 02:07 PM PDT

    At first it seemed like a useful function, but now it's so many false alerts that it's making me think of abandoning the whole "find my" premise.

    Every time I get out of my car, I get a "left behind" notification for everything I've left in the car, and then half an hour later I get another round of notifications. Is there really no way to get it to, for example, only notify me when the thing actually moves?

    I have a feeling this is going to be so annoying as to make the app totally useless. How will I ever know of something is actually missing, if I'm getting notifications so frequently I'm forced to ignore or even disable them?

    The most frequent offender is my AirPods Pro, which basically trigger "left behind" notifications simply whenever I go a while without using them, even when they are in my pocket inches away from the phone. But now that I've got a bunch of AirTags, it's doing it for any that I leave in my car when I get somewhere. You'd think it would be smart enough to notice that the "left behind" location precisely coincides with "parked car" but no.

    Looking for a Thunderbolt 1 extension

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 01:38 PM PDT

    Like the title says I'm looking for a Thunderbolt 1 extension cable that's about 6' long. Thunderbolt 1 is very difficult to search for because Google just gives you Thunderbolt 3 results. What I'm trying to do is extend the cables from my Cinema displays because my Mac Pro is too far away and the cables are famously short on the cinema displays.

    iMessage won’t activate on one specific phone number

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:20 PM PDT

    I tried another SIM card as well as eSIM card and every of them works except this one number which I am using for the longest time (which is also used to register the iPhone).

    Long time ago I have put another SIM while on a travel and after that I cannot use my old number with iMessage again. It stays on "Waiting for activation…" forever until it spends all balance I have. So, it means it is stuck in an infinite loop of activating but something prevents it from succeeding.
