Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Sort of x-post from the AQA

1. What's the mac equivalent of MS Outlook?
   
2. If I send a mac user a zip with a load of exported Outlook emails, will they be able to open them?
   
   

Cheers.

1. Mail
   
2. In what way do you export them?
   

1. It’s Mac OS which includes mail, contacts and calendar which are well integrated.
   
2. Yes but it depends on the format you exported them in and what you want to do with them afterwards. If it’s just for archive there’ll no doubt be read-only viewers for .pst mailboxes.
   

In answer to 1., if they’re an existing Office user it could well be Outlook.

Making the move from windows computer and android phone to macbook and iphone now, just waiting on them to be delivered. Might have soldiered on for a bit longer but the rest of the family are on apple products and living in Sweden means google aren't selling the pixel phones through their store here so got fed up.

After some online reading I'm thinking strongbox to access kepass passwords, moving any compatible apps with move to ios and backing up pics/media stuff to an external harddrive before taking the plunge.

Anyone done this recently? Any pitfalls, tips or comments? Tried utfs but couldn't find much.

Looks like a good price

Toby who ?

Does anyone know how smooth it would be to have AirPods Pro switching between a MacBook and an android phone? Obviously not very smooth, but would it require resyncing every time?>

Not sure mine sync fine between mac products but that's not what you asked !

Ive ordered from that site before, its slow but cheaper

Cheers. Need to decide whether to hang on till tomorrow (or possibly "Cyber" Monday) to see what comes up I guess.

I missed some of these q's.

Mantiz Saturn Pro.
OH SHIT YES.

Our kids prefer our iPad mini as it’s lighter. The big one gets really heavy for them after a while

Yeah, I did a comparison of specs and I think it's winning. 64gb, lighter, same chip. Just more expensive....

Did anyone reply to you yet? If not, I’ve used it all week, including with AirPods and screen sharing, and it works fine.

1. .... hmm...
   
2. can you explain? it appears to have a hard drive bay and loads of usb/ethernet connections - is it basically a computer you plug a computer into ? yo dawg? also it says on their own doc that it's not compatible with booty camping.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!

I've got an Early 2015 Macbook Pro (13") which now just 'freezes' every couple hours and has to be manually turned off and turned on. I've reset PRAM and SMC (or at least I think I have -- its impossible to tell if its been successful). Still happens. Is there anything I should try before reinstalling OSX?

Got an Apple mouse and keyboard for sale. The mouse is in perfect condition and the keyboard has a few very minor scuffs on the side.

I can include chargers - although they’re not Apple.

How does £20 sound posted for mouse? And £70 posted for keyboard?

£85 for both?

been looking for a spare mouse. will PM.

The cure for my 5 month old MBP being bricked by Big Sur?

Apple replaced the Touch ID board and the main Logic Board (which holds the CPU, RAM and storage)... basically... they replaced all the bits that matter in a computer.

👍

I'm really intrigued as to what happened.

Likely they are too, and will be sending your guts off to be dissected...

They once replaced the screen, keyboard, trackpad, battery, top and bottom case, power jack board and logic board on mine. For free as part of the graphics card warranty extension.

I think the SSD and the speakers were the only parts left.

Ive got a 2017 "15 MacBook pro, i've started noticing the odd like flash or like flashing line in the screen.

I know this is soemthing that shouldn't happen but is there anything i should be looking for or should i get a back up done pronto.

Regular backups as a habit regardless.

Your problem could be screen ribbon cable or more serious GPU b0rk. Try to get a vid, compare to others online, send it to Apple.
