Re: now, a newer OS for old Mac - 3 days ago

QuoteRAMd®d I'd like to be able to put Sierra on my 2018 mini, which shipped with Mojave. Sierra is the last OS that can be repaired by DiskWarrior, and it supports an app or three that no longer works beyond Sierra. Snow leopard on the M1, please!

Re: now, a newer OS for old Mac - 3 days ago

I’m glad I could help. I feel like most people don’t realize these patch tools even exist or are pretty easy to use. I’m glad you were able to get it going with minimal trouble. Should last you at least another year or two with software updates! In a few weeks I’m going to try the Monterey patch tool with an old 2014 MacBook Air. I will post how it goes. Pretty sure your model will

Re: iPhone 12 mini owners -- genuine Apple clear magsafe case, $10 - 10 days ago

QuoteRAMd®d I just got a 13 mini. Will this work? I don't think so. The 13 mini is a little thicker than the 12 mini, and the cases have different stock numbers. 12mini - MHLL3ZM 12 mini - MM2W3ZM These are very hard shell cases with zero stretch. Thank you!

Anybody try this? Am falling in love with the mini's size after a few years with this behemoth. Held it on 3 separate occasions in the store. I ordered a red 128 gb Mini 13 from Apple. I like small and pocketable, and I am not glued to my phone screen like some people. I have the largest hands possible on a human being, and it still seems to fit well. Nice using the whole screen one hande

Re: How to tell iPad OS version from box? - 5 weeks ago

QuoteSarcany Enter the serial number here: It will tell you roughly when the device was supposedly sold. This is usually within a week or two of the manufacturing date (tho this may be slipping a bit with COVID and the shipping-crisis). Then check the dates of OS-releases. The OS on the iPad will be at or earlier than the latest OS available when the device was manufactured. Yeah,

How to tell iPad OS version from box? - 5 weeks ago

Is there a way? Just picked up a 12.9 inch 5th gen Pro - would be nice if it was still running 14 so I can jailbreak. I have the ipad's serial off the box. I think this can be done with iphones? Not crucial, just interested if possible. Will be buying another this afternoon. Thanks all.

Re: MBP: Does the notch bother you? - 6 weeks ago

Quote It's not all bad. Apple played a neat trick: The 3456x2234 screen is sized to provide a space for the menu bar while still maintaining a 16:10 ratio below it. When you have an app hide the menu bar by sliding down, it will display at 16:10 like the old MacBook Pro. THIS is good to know. Thank you!
