If you setup and activate "Find My" remember to disable it before you replace that Mac. This requires access to the Apple ID and its password associated with the Mac. Even if you reformat the hard drive and reinstall macOS, "Find My" still remembers in iCloud.

[@migidid]

Why? Apple just wants locked devices creating e-waste to sell you more devices. They enforce locking devices and never unlocking :) They never unlock any device for you!

[@karlostj4683]

@@migidid Uh, you're just wrong.

[@migidid]

@@karlostj4683 please elaborate? :) I know exactly how it goes

[@migidid]

@@karlostj4683 Receipt? proof of ownership? nope. they will never unlock find my network devices. they will help you gain access to the account but never unlock any apple id locked device. So if you get screwed and someone sold you locked device, Apple just tells you to buy their new one and claims nothing can be done.

[@karlostj4683]

@@migidid iCloud keeps track of the connection between an Apple ID (email) and a specific device if you leave FindMy turned on. BUT if it has been a long time since logging into iCloud with the Apple ID, iCloud needs to send a text message to the phone connected to the Apple ID - and if that number no longer works, you're screwed. BUT an Apple Super Genius can disable that requirement. And that required (for me) an in-person visit to an Apple Genius who then had to drag out the Apple Super Genius.

[@Simos805]

I'm always checking all the things this guy said! He is right. Me, I'm the type of person that even after the setup, the first thing I'm going to do is to go to system preferences and check every single setting to see if is something there that can be tweaked that can be useful to me. I'm doing this even when downloading a new app from example, always checking their settings first before using it!

Thanks. I’ve just bought a MacBook Air. I’m a first time user of MacBook. Helpful tips👍🏻.

[@BradInStLouis]

Sometimes I use my M1 MacBook Pro on. a soft surface such as a pillow, lap pillow for computers, bed comforter etc. Force click does not work consistently. The force of your finger forces the pilllow down before the trackpad surface is "forced". Drives me crazy. At 6:55 minutes you show how the "Tap to click" under trackpad. This has solved the problem completely.

[@mattsonrj1]

I didn’t need to worry if my M1 MacBook was “new”, because I bought a refurb from the Apple store & saved a bunch of $$! It appeared completely new & has been fine.

mine crashed about 3 times, once when I did split screen - it was as if the machine couldnt handle my fast movements. then again while i was using it and then when I used an HDMI cable in it, it froze on screen.

Will use your advice on my new Air. I have used generic chargers on my mid 2010 macbook pro for the past 8 years. It did not change battery life. Was just as efficient. My mac died this weekend at 14 years. Because water spill. RIP my teenager machine. Wonder how much longer it would've lasted. Nevertheless, generic chargers did not cause damage. Not sure of the newer models though.

[@williamsquires3070]

Whatever you do, DON’T use Migration Assistant to pull files from a Mac running 10.12 (or possibly, earlier); it’s got a nasty bug that will result in duplicates of Apple’s own apps in the Applications folder, and you’ll end up with both the Intel and Apple Silicon versions, both with the same name, and will confuse MacOS Catalina. Don’t ask how I know; just take my word for it. Clean-up was a B***h!! To be transparent about this, this happened to me near the beginning of this year when I received a new M1 MacBook Air for Christmas; the bug may have been fixed since, but I wouldn’t push my luck again.

[@armanospanov3673]

The small gap's between the display and rubber it's okay? Just I don't should I go to the service center

[@DocTime56]

I'm more on the camp of using the target drive function and transfering my files over thunderbolt/firewire. If your Macbook is too old it might require a chain of adapters that might not be worth buying, (something like TB3 to TB2, TB2 to Firewire 800 and firewire 800 to 400, which could happen if you still use a High Sierra equipped white macbook). I have a 2015 11 inch air, if I ever upgrade it to a newer macbook (I'm very likely to get out of their ecosystem in a few years), you can be sure I'm transfering everything over Thunderbolt

Your recommendation for only using Apples charger is just wrong aswell as other big companies. There is no such thing as incompatible. They either charger with enough power or don't. There was once a firmware error that did mess with the ports but it's been fixed since.

Besides this is there any other common mistakes ppl make? I want this to last a long long time, and I’m only gonna be using it for minor music and video editing. GarageBand, I’d like to learn to make cartoons. But that’s about it. I just don’t want to get a virus or fry something.

2nd hand market != blackmarket, Apple sell refurbed computers and have a few manufacturing issues here and there (like sticking the high-voltage connector right next to the cpu power line). There's a boot usb you can get that removes the password query, takes about 5 mins. If you want a 3rd party charger then make sure you supply the same (correct) voltage + amperage, if it is blocked by Apple as they have in the past (because a small chip isn't signalling the device) then go to your competition watchdog and report Apple, PSUs are cheap and easy to build and should only cost around $20. Hotkeys, yeah def use them.

changing/recovering your password on mac is actually so easy from recovery mode, it actually seems pretty insecure imo. like anyone who knows how, can get into any profile on a mac from recovery mode without knowing any passwords or ID's and there is no validation process whatsoever. As an IT support tech, Ive done this a dozen times for macbooks used by employees who were fired. Its actually pretty funny that mac users think its a more secure platform than windows. its not, like at all!

[@mushafzarrar3168]

[@yashvishrant]

M2 has been delayed for some reason, so it will take some time to launch. And if time and budget ain't a constraint then definitely go for M2. However, in your case as you need Mac on urgent basis as stated above then go for it. M1 is still a very powerful chip and as per rumours there will be minimal changes in M2.
