Hi!
I haven’t seen any intel Macs in the apple store.
Only the m1 Macs.
So if that’s the case keep your intel Mac if you need windows.

I should have clarified.

Hi!
Hmm, sounds interesting.
Not fun though.
Well I will take that for consideration when the time comes to get a new Mac.
The thing is that they smoothly will face out all intel Macs so I was thinking
that the sooner the better.

Hi Donnwa,

migrate your settings? Also, are you tried playing anything to see if by
chance the sound may be either muted or down in some way? Just a thoought. As

Hi Cara,
The people who wanted to charge me were a third-party Apple Service outlet. I
actually bought the computer at an Apple store in another city, because we
don't have one where I live. I was really surprised, too, given that my
appointment with them was actually set up by the Apple tech
With a M1 Mac, you just hold down the power button for about 10 seconds, then

I had this exact same problem when I picked up my 2019 MacBook Pro.

can you not try to get speech on with your braille display? I know I had to do

Another option to try is connecting a USB headset to the Mac if you can get a
USB adapter for the USBC port.

Donna,
You have nothing to defend here, if Apple feels the time machine backup
was not at fault, they should know.
Put the thing in a box if not there already, and have some liberating
chocolate for all your energy and devotion to the problem.
You did more than what would be expected to fix the
acintoshes via iCloud.
often a spinning ball means that a application is awaiting some kind of
confirmation. Consider for example, when one copies a app into the applications
folder, a system dialog pops up asking for a password. I believe in older days,
this would block the finder, now I think
