Macbook / Macbookpro Users Thread

  • @KG888 its actually still there.
    Tried doing the shift + control + option + power and same thing happened.

    I’m thinking, the issue is already with the pannel.
  • Meron ba TR6 screwdrivers sa mga ace hardware or nay local hardware? I am trying to upgrade the RAM of my mac mini and hindi pala pwede yung normal na T6 screwdrivers

  • Hello to all! I still have my 13" Macbook Pro mid 2012 and still working smoothly up to this day. Im looking into replacing its battery though but I haven't had luck finding a genuine battery replacement for it. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. :)

  • Kapag inillakas ko yung volumn nung macbook pro ay may parang kumakalansing sa speaker, matinis masyado ang tunog. Pasira na ba yung speaker pag ganun?
  • ^Pabigay na yan paps.
  • Pasira na ba yung speaker pag ganun?

    yep. may punit ang diaphragm. kung ma open mo pwede mong lagyan ng silicon glue. wag rugby minsan nakakatunaw kasi.
  • Has anyone tried replacing the rubber feet on their Macbooks? They're useless. They don't stick on the surface they stand on. I can't even lift the lid off with one hand without causing the Mac to slide off the desk.
  • ^ I had the same issue when I got my first MBP.

    I suggest instead of replacing the the feet, just stick those clear 3M Bumpon non-slip feet on the aluminum surfaces right next to the existing feet.




    Besides being grippy, since they're a bit taller than the stock feet, the MBP sits higher. That allows for a bit more ventilation underneath the laptop as a side benefit.
  • Mga sir tanong lang.

    may permanent solution ba for Macbook Pro Screen na nagkakaroon ng lines after a few minutes of use? it seems like its being caused by temperature, kasi after putting the screen on sleep for a few minutes nawawala naman.

    kung may makuha kang same model swap mo driver. or try mo sa mga nagrerepair ng macbook paps malamang meron cla pamalit.

  • guys worth it pa ba bumili ng 2012 -2015 macbook pro na 2nd hand i am planning to buy kasi for photography buisness sana and daily laptop ayaw ko naman mag shell out ng big amount for a brand new one. any thoughts on this.
  • @monk0789 is anyone having events, weddings in the past 12 months? Business may only pick up once more than 10 million Pinoys get the vaccine.
  • I would say depende sa spec’s and price ng machine.

    Baka mas, in the long term, especially kung optimised mga apps na gamit mo, bette to shell out for a machine with Apple Silicon.

    Gamit nalang ng external SSD for extra storage.
  • OT: Yes, meron parin mga nag we-wedding. I personally 2 couples who had their intimate weddings in 2020.
  • about weddings yes meron hindi nga lang kagaya ng dati meron pa din naman sa awa ni lord. about sa apps i usually use photoshop lang and some office apps like google sheets etc. yung premiere sa PC ko sya ginagamit.

    @pancho
    ano marerecommend mo since limited budget lang naman din

  • ^ I'm still using my 13 inch mid-2012 mbp (8gb ram/250gb ssd) along with my m1 mbp. pang harabas ko pa rin si 2012 at mejo binebaby pa si m1. Palag pa rin si 2012 sa wedding edits ko LR & PS mejo mabagal lang talaga import/export nya.
  • Summer na, mabilis ba uminit macbook niyo if di naka aircon? At pag uminit na, nag throttle ba ng cpu si kernel_task?
  • may nakapaginstall ba ng big sur sa macbook 2011?
  • my MBP RD Mid-2015 is still quite ok .. nde masyado nagta-throttle yung fan mainly because pinalitan ko yung thermal paste and linis ng fan and a few tweaks .. hehe

  • @popoi

    It will be too slow and you'll complain why it's slow because you're using it on 10yo hardware.

    @tekrum

    If your Mac is more than 1yo then its internals and heat sink fan has collected a lot of dust. I'd suggest taking a few hours to open it up and cleaning it out with a used toothbrush or a blower.

    @mereijeyn

    That's a poor utilization of resources. I'd retire the the Intel Mac and set it aside as a backup and make the M1 the primary machine.
  • may nakapaginstall ba ng big sur sa macbook 2011?


    It might slow you down because of the graphics requirement... also, IMO, puro eye candy upgrade naman yung Big Sur para sa needs ko. I think it's really made for M1's.

    Yung main work station ko, which is an iMac is using Mojave. - I've tried Catalina and Big Sur for a while, wala naman hiccups for me. Kaso hindi ko nagustuhan Notifications ng Big Sur. So I've downgraded to Mojave. Everything works great. And it doesn't feel like an outdated system naman. - Also, I have some 32-bit apps that I miss :)

    Also, sa Big Sur, hindi na napapalitan ang Folder Icons... I really hate those Blue Folders :)
  • istanbul. Sa hardware po meron kaso set siya.
  • <click here for link>

    Daming security patches ng Big Sur 11.3
  • is there a legit site to download the latest big sur ISO
  • I am not sure if my internet connection is causing this but has anyone encountered macOS recovery reinstallation via the internet not completing? The device is connected via wired. I have done this multiple times before but this time it fails
  • MBA 2017 - google meet, ang tagal mag-load, sa messenger ang tagal makapag send ng files, pic, etc..

    na-try ko na pram reset, ayaw pa din..

    macOS catalina pa rin siya, even sa high sierra same same pa din, kapag ba ni-reformat ko to. as in yung like new, setup ng user account/password.. mag-update ba siya to big sur? never pa ako nakapag-format ng mac eh..
  • @wigiboy

    may mag pop out na download update to big sur. sakin mba 2017 naka catalina pa din ako, wala naman issue sa gmeet at zoom din. baka need lang talaga reformat yan. ayoko muna mag big sur kasi stable pa naman, and may nababasa ako mas matagal batt life ng catalina compare sa big sur. back up laptop ko lang to mba since may windows laptop naman ako talaga for work.
