Re: iCloud Sync Problem

If you want to exclude files use a folder with the .nosync extension. I have created a folder called AV.nosync in my documents. Everything I put in there (also other folders) is not going to be synced with / uploaded to iCloud. You can see it works because finder will show a crossed out cloud icon n...

Re: New Apple Arm Chip worth waiting for?

It seems Apple Silicon is not going to be an ARM chip but something developed by Apple that may or may not use some functions which ARM developed.

Re: Macbook Pro with Ableton runs extremely hot

I noticed this line in the beta release notes: "On macOS, Live now uses Apple's Metal framework to present its UI on supported hardware."

I wouldn't be surprised if that helps a bit too...

Re: Google Chromecast changes everything !

Funny Reading this in 2020 after the demise of Apple TV... I wouldn't call 13M units last year exactly 'demise', but whatever floats your boat... On a personal level it's probably the best tech investment I've ever made. Bought mine in 2010, never needed another. Still runs my streams and Netflix '...

Re: So, these new MacBook (Air / Pro) machines...

Looking at these fan issues one other reason to opt for the gen 10 Pro is the internal design. This machine has 2 fans (and better speakers in case one cares) as opposed to the 8th gen design which only has 1 fan...

Re: So, these new MacBook (Air / Pro) machines...

No problem at all - happy to help. I would say that I'd be slightly wary of the i7, it's a chunk more money and it's unclear if the computer can actually utilise that increase in power over the i5. Even the benchmarks are quite similar (though given my complaints predominantly relate to long intens...
