    Joining the Macbook family

    After 20 years with Windows, knowing almost every single detail of it I decided to switch to Mac. It was hard to convince myself to do it, but the MacBook Air M1 is just too good to say no. My learning process will be really slow, everything was so natural and automatic and Windows, but I'm really excited of this devices. So thin, so small, so powerful. Screen looks awesome, absolutely awesome, I'm actually impressed.

    MacBook Pro 2021 Menu Bar Icons

    MacBook Pro 2021 Menu Bar Icons

    I have the new 16" MBP 16GB 512GB M1 PRO, and I noticed that at variable times the menu bar icons sort of expand and contract the spaces between them. I don't really know why this occurs. I thought maybe certain apps were causing it but it seems to be random. Curious if anyone else has seen this behavior. Not really a problem, just...odd.

    Anyone else rocking the 2015 12-inch MacBook and not being able to upgrade to Monterey ��

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:29 AM PDT

    I got mine just before the 2016 version of the 12-inch came out as well 😔

    What USB-C hub should I get for the M1 Macbook Air?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 08:38 PM PDT

    I was reading that some hubs w/PD could cause the port/Macbook to brick. Has issue been resolved? What hubs have you guys been using that have been working so far for external display? Also, any issues with heating? Thanks!

    --also preferable ones w cables. heard non cabled hubs cause higher potential for shorts.

    Is trading in my 2020 13" pro for the 2020 13" M1 worth it?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:49 PM PDT

    Current specs: MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, 16 GB memory, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB, 512GB storage

    So, I use it mostly for recreation and school, but I also like to make/edit youtube videos from time to time and intend on getting more serious with that. It has been pretty good for doing videos and I haven't had any problems.

    However, I was honestly so pissed when the M1 chips came out shortly after I got this one. Especially when I heard how much faster they were. The biggest thing that irks me about this particular macbook is the unnecessary loud fan at random times when I am not even doing anything intensive. I have never owned any mac before, but it sounds like this is a bigger issue with this specific model year?

    I would probably get the 13" upper tier model with 512GB. I would be going down from 16 to 8gb memory, but I also heard that the M1 chips make this not a big deal? Like they are still better at even 8gb ram?

    Now, I don't want the newest models because A) hella more expensive, B) I personally love the magic touch bar and don't want to give it up (sorry, but it gives me dopamine). C) I also like having just the 4 thunderbolt connectors for what I need. Being able to charge my macbook on either side is a great plus at times. D) I want to stay at 13".

    Trading in takes the price from $1500 to $719. So of course I have to weigh if that is really worth it lol. I probably won't do it tbh, but I wanted to hear some thoughts on that and if I would be an idiot if I did.

    Continuous beeping sound when laptop is shut down and charging with fast charger (16inch M1 Pro)

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 10:18 AM PDT

    TLDR: The 16 inch M1 Max or Pro, have a behavior where if the battery is less than 60%, the computer is shut down, the lid is closed, and the MagSafe charger is connected they start beeping intermittently at regular intervals (about 5 seconds between beeps) and the charger light turns on and off repeatedly (as opposed to staying a solid color). So far, this behavior only occurs if your laptop is at or blow 60% charge, you have hit shut down, closed the lid, and attached the mag safe charger (there might be other combinations that yield the same thing, but this is what made it happen on my end).


    Hi everyone. I have a 16 inch M1 Pro and M1 Max, the issue only occurs with the M1 Pro and only happens when the following criteria are met: 1) Computer has to be SHUT DOWN (so not just closing the lid) 2) lid is closed 3) fast charger with MagSafe is put in place. If this sequence is done there is a continuous beeping noise that occurs every 5 seconds or so (it sounds like the charging chime that should only occur once, when the charger is connected). It is entirely reproducible and happens every single time I do the above. It does NOT occur with my 16 inch M1 Max, there is either a single chine or no sound at all. I am not sure if this is impacting the charging of the laptop or not. I only noticed it by accident last night and had a few minutes to mess around with it and find out that the other laptop does not show this behavior. Has anyone else with the 16 inch M1 Pro (or any other MacBook) noted this issue (I dont usually shut down my laptop, so it was entirely by coincidence that I found out about this)?

    Edit/update: I ran the apple diagnostics at startup and it says no issues found. The beeping still persists.

    Another update: we reproduced the problem with 2 other 16 inch pro models (these are the base models with only upgrade SSD to 1TB). Different chargers used. I was lucky that two of my friends have the same setup and we just tested this. Shut down first, close lid, then connect mag safe, beeping begins and does not stop, also the light on the mag safe connector blinks which seems to indicate intermittent interruption of charge.

    Another update: now im able to replicate the problem on my M1 Max as well and I think I know why it wasn't happening before and why the other user couldn't reproduce it. I am now fairly confident most should be able to reproduce the issue (since 4/4 Macs have been able to reproduce it thus far). I charged the battery of the M1 Pro to full and tried it and the issue did not occur, while I drained the battery of the M1 Max (the one that before seemingly did not have the issue) to 60% and the beeping started and the charging became intermittent with the light on the charger going in and out (again you have to shut down, close the lid, then attach the mag safe charger). I think this is probably a much more widespread thing (I hesitated to call it an "issue" now as I am not really sure if it is causing a problem, but it is certainly abnormal and annoying) and people just haven't noticed it yet. If you have one of these devices, try the method I described once you get to less than 60% charge and see if you can reproduce the situation.

    MacOS Monterey stopped charging Macbook Pro 2017 13"

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 03:59 AM PDT

    Hi, last night I updated MacOS to 12.0 Monterey, and then I felt a significant decrease in performance, the temperature of the processor was around 100 degrees, the macbook restarted twice in 4 hours of work, then stopped charging from both USB-C ports, now it is at 0% and I can no longer turn it on, someone had similar problems ? Any ideas? Thanks

    MacBook Pro M1 Pro Max with Paralells?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:38 AM PDT

    Anyone using one of the new M1 pro max MacBooks with paralells for a windows VM ? I know ARM windows is required. I am a sys admin and have always traditionally used a VM hosted elsewhere for some windows related tasks however I am curious how fluid the new MacBooks run paralells with windows VM? I have one of the intel 16 inch MacBooks currently and while it does decent it definitely slows down and runs hot while doing this. Let me know any feedback you have, I am debating making the move to apple silicon.

    Best Way To Transfer Windows Music Library To New MacBook Pro?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 10:23 AM PDT

    I just bought a fancy MacBook Pro 16". I have my music library on an external hard drive that I had set up on a windows laptop.

    How do I transfer my music collection to my MacBook? Sure a copy and paste drag and drop. But where do I put my music? And will I need to recreate my playlists?

    I was also using iTunes to sync my music to my iPhone. I understand iTunes is not a thing on MacBooks.

    Any advice on how to proceed?

    Custom Decal

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 08:20 AM PDT

    I've ordered a MacBook Pro 13inch and would like to get a decal for under the clear case. I'm really leaning toward Jareth from Labyrinth - where the apple replaces the crystal ball in his palm.

    Anyone seen anything like this or know somewhere that will do a customer order reasonably to Ireland?

    Does anybody else not like the body of the new MBP?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:59 PM PDT

    I thought I'd be ok with them when they were announced but as I'm setting it up besides my 2017 MBP I realize I definitely don't like the look of them and I can't figure out why.

    I love the keyboard, the speakers and the notch is not bad either. I'm going from a 15" screen to this 16" upgrade so it's really nice, but something doesn't sit right with me and I don't feel as excited owning this as I do of all other Apple products.

    mbp 16 cannot run external display without severe lag

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:25 AM PDT

    I have a mbp16 8-core, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd and 16gb gpu. I connect it to an lg 34" 5k display for work. Problem is that it becomes so slow up to 8 second lag making it unusable. Is there a solution for this? I intended to use my mbp as a desktop replacement, but I've had to abandon it until I can find a fix for the lag that occurs when connecting external display.

    I ordered a fully loaded m1 max but it wont be here until next month, I'm hoping that it will be able to run my 5k external display?

    USB Mouse Issues, MacBook Air 2017

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:05 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm having some mouse issues with my MacBook - I'm hoping someone may have some idea of how to fix this problem, because it's driving me mad!!

    If I try to use a USB mouse or other USB device that controls the cursor (I have two Wacom tablets), the mouse behaves erratically. Trackpad works completely normally. I have 3 different USB mouses that I've tried to use, and all do the same thing. Both Wacom tablets do too. I've also tested all devices in both USB ports and have gotten the same result. I tried playing with the tracking, that didn't work. Tried changing the surface I'm working on, still the same issue! Any more ideas? I have a feeling this problem started a while back but has just gotten to the point where I can't even work. I'm currently running macOS Catalina.

    Difficulties restoring 2011 Air to factory settings

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:29 AM PDT

    I'm upgrading from my 2011 MacBook Air soon, and will be sending the old machine in for a rebate (still worth around 150USD apparently). I did my backups and have erased the hard drive using disk utility in recovery mode. BUT: when I try to reinstall MacOS (in this case the ancient machine is looking to download Lion) I keep getting the same error message: "Can't download the additional components needed to install MacOS." Any thoughts on what I can do here? Do I even need to reinstall the OS in order to get a full trade-in value?

    Any MacBook sleeve recommendations similar to ColcaSac?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    So I just ordered a new 14" MacBook Pro. I'm upgrading from a 2015 15" Macbook Pro that I kept in a sleeve from ColcaSac. I really liked their cases and sleeves in general. Natural fibers, attractive and understated style. I was bummed to find out that they went out of business in 2014. Can anybody recommend something similar to me for the new MBP?

    Here's an example of what I'm looking for.

    Low Power Mode on M1 MacBook Pro

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:33 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    Does the lower power mode on M1 Macs restrict background app refresh, like email fetch?

    Recently got the base M1 MacBook Pro, the 13" variant, and I have been hesitant about using the lower power mode because I fear I may miss some notifications. Also, does the computer refresh when asleep when in low power mode?

    I use the notebook largely for work. It's a beast of a device and almost an overkill for my day-to-day workflow (emails, Word, Spreadsheet, and some Netflix).

    Is the problem with my USB-C adapter or my new MBP? (2 adapters w/ USB-C ports don't really work)

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:10 AM PDT

    I have a very interesting scenario here and can't figure out what's going wrong.

    I have the new 16" MBP and also 2 USB-C adapters so that I can get more functionality. The two USB-C adapters I have are the following:

    With both adapters, I have a laptop fan plugged and a Razer camera plugged into 2 USB ports. However, whenever i try to plug something (e.g. my USB-C Yubikey) into the USB-C port, it seems like my MBP doesn't like it. It constantly seems to "turn on" the adapter and turn it back off, every 1-2 seconds. Meaning, I can hear my USB-connected fan turn on and back off, as if the adapter is malfunctioning. The same thing happened with my Razer camera when I was using the USB-C adapter, so that made me switch the cable to a USB cable.

    I wouldn't be so confused if the same behavior wasn't happening with both adapters. Any thoughts as to why this may be happening? I could just have 2 malfunctioning USB-C adapters, but I'm hoping this isn't the case.

    Keyboard backlight not working + no options in system preferences

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:15 AM PDT

    edit: I found a video exactly describing my problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy7cXfagHlg, the person had no luck so far either

    Hey guys! MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Port)

    I suppose the title is quite self explanatory, however to describe the issue better - 2 or 3 weeks ago my keyboard backlight stopped working. At first i wrote it off as a keyboard defect and called my local repair store. Because I was busy I put off the repair until my keyboard lit up during a restart today for a few seconds and then turned off again.

    At that point i knew the keyboard is not the issue here so going off Google I performed a SMC reset and that of course did nothing.

    The catch is that when I go to system preferences -> keyboard, the option concering keyboard backlight is literally not there. As if the feature didn't exist. I thought that there was hardware damage but apparently the keyboard is fine. f5+f6 also don't do anything, nor do the touchbar keys.

    Any idea what this means or has anybody encountered someting similiar? All Google answers seem to sort this out through system preferences, what obviously, is not an option for me.

    Thanks a lot!

    Only one external monitor over TB4 with M1 Pro?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:05 AM PDT

    Hello there,

    has anyone experience on using the latest MBP with a docking station? I connected a ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 docking station with 2 DP and 1 HDMI Port, but in each possible combination, my 2 external displays will only show the same picture.

    Now I wonder which is the cause for this - a faulty dock or a M1 Pro limitation (which might be gone with an M1 Max?).

    I could connect the second monitor via the inbuilt HDMI, but I expected TB4 to allow a "one-cable-connects-it-all" policy.

    Any experience, especially if it it's indeed a limitation of the M1 Pro chip?
