Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Same boat but with the 12" - need something to throw in bag and carry about etc, was hoping for a small spec bump. Ah well :(

Soon....

My Microsoft word has become REALLY unstable on my mac. Keeps crashing. Killing me.

@soul that says announced in june possibly for release in july-sept. #notsoonenough

They'll release the update a week after you buy a new one, whenever that is.

Thought you were after the Macbook Pro.... they're on their way in a month.

The larger 15-inch MacBook Pro may not be launched until after WWDC, however, as the third quarter translates to between July and September. While that seems questionable, Apple may elect to announce a new 15-inch MacBook Pro at WWDC and begin shipping the notebook later in the year.

Yeah but:

If accurate, new 12-inch MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro models could debut at Apple's rumored March media event, alongside the new 4-inch iPhone, iPad Air 3, and Apple Watch updates, or at WWDC, likely scheduled for mid-June. Smaller updates could also be announced at any time via press release.

It's all moot though as this has just been posted:

2011 27" iMac - great condition. What's it worth or am I better to trade it in?

lols.

😬

Hey guys, need help.
So my late 2011 mac mini had a grey screen a couple of days before. Took it for repair the guy said it needed a new ssd, so new ssd installed. Now i need to install osx. How do i do this? The command r thing , that any search mentions, doesnt work. Any ideas?

Did they say why a new SSD? A grey screen could mean all sorts of things... the question mark folder, however, would be a different story.

Yeah the question mark folder was there too..

Got my first iPhone today.... Been using nexus' for years. This is so much better.

Welcome to the club.

iPhone people, how do you do Gmail? The mail app doesn't support push (which is google's fault).
I'm trying Inbox but it's very different to regular gmail. I'm kind of sick of seeing ads in Gmail as well so am considering forwarding everything to the @icloud.com address and slowly migrating to that. Seems like a bit of a downgrade in functionality though.

I've just got my Gmail set up with the stock Mail app.

Do you use fetch or just manually refresh? I'd rather get emails as they arrive...

Outlook.

Saves battery if you just let it check for mail every time you open the app.
Though depends on how addicted you are to checking your mail...

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data > Push.
