Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

No worries. Anyone else need them?

In my experience (I did business sales for apple for 2 years, including aftermarket mods) people who buy base pros are more on the photo/audio side(+ram+drives.) Serious Video outfits would generally go for higher end pros, or just go for maxed out iMacs if they didn't have the cash. But honestly the ability to repair upgrade the pros is just much better.

I dropped my macbook onto my girlfriends macbook and broke her 'B' key honestly no euphs

Where can I get a replacement key? It's the 2015 retina model

I was drunk

I'd have though she want the D.

Just google "replacement laptop keys", plenty of sites though most are US.

Almost all have Apple models down to the specific keyboard manufacturer.

f u bro

Any better ideas for repairing this, than my current electrical trap job?

Have you been chewing it?

Sugru.

Seriously, the only and best solution.

But yeah, how the fuck did you managed to do that??

I have no idea, it's 2-3 years old. The charger never moves from the plug next to my bed. I have another charger that is in perfect condition, about a year old, gets used every day.

I do wonder if apple upped the quality of the white rubber coating at somepoint in the last few years.

Will look into Sugru, never heard of it before.

I have no idea.

You have no idea that you sleepwalk toward the chargers and gnaw on it?

Sugru is basically blu-tac that hardened permanently (very rubber-like afterward);

My mac mini is soooo slow I can't handle it anymore.... takes ages to start up and then just slowly runs into the ground until I have to switch it off. I got it start of 2014, it's a 2.3 GHz intel core i7 version, I updated it's memory to 8 GB and moved all my files off onto external hardrives. Still slow! Before I buy a load more memory want to check it's not something else causing it...

Get an ssd, will make wonders. And 16gb of ram if you have the monies, makes a huge difference

Ok I'll def get more RAM, what sort of SSD, something like this? http://www.ebuyer.com/698050-crucial-mx200-250gb-msata-ssd-ct250mx200ssd3?gclid=Cj0KEQiAkIWzBRDK1ayo-Yjt38wBEiQAi7NnP-wXZdvMhgZpNw7gFHs3w3T8DhpoN2whnJexqBa0_-AaAngu8P8HAQ#fo_c=951&fo_k=b3c2a7346cccf9e2b1ade688dfdd9c95&fo_s=gplauk?mkwid=s2lEW1s4j_dc&pcrid=51482419619&pkw=&pmt=

I'd go to https://www.crucial.com/ and use their selector tool to be on the safe side. I did it last year and gave my mbp 13 an ssd and 16gb ram and it was like getting a new machine

Sounds like some other problem.
I had 2gb in one I had and went to 8gb and it was all good. Then put in an SSD and it was flying.
I'd consider an OS reinstal.

cheers, will get some more RAM and do a reinstall then see how it is thanks a lot

...Any reason not to just update to El Capitan?

Yes. Display issues. My pal is having some on his air linked to an apple display.

cheers

you got something else going on, are you running applications of the external?

Not as far as I'm aware, has been doing it whether externals connected or not

Cheers. That appears to be the exact stuff I need.
