Is it possible to copy iTunes from an old MBP (2012) to a MBP 2021 M1?

I use iPod Nanos to run music in my car. I have a couple playlists for them. There is another play list for my phone for me to listen to while on public transit. I still have the MBP 2012. It runs well except that the track pad only recognizes clicking action on about 1/4 of it. Is it possible to copy iTunes from the old MBP to my newer one? What about my play lists?

PDF readers cannot edit PDF correctly on MacOS

My university sent me a PDF form to fill out, which includes a table section that automatically calculates the total expenses and reimbursable expenses once numbers are entered (as shown in the figure). I tried filling it out using all kinds of PDF readers on macOS, including Preview, Chrome, PDFgear, and PDF Expert. However, none of them can do the autofill. I then attempted to complete the form on Windows using PDFgear and Foxit, and both worked perfectly. Is this caused by some system-level PDF settings that I never...

Anyway to reset Mac OS X 10.6 without a USB or Install Disc?

I’m working on a personal project on a plastic MacBook and I’m attempting to clear out my previous data but is there anyway to reset 10.6 to a clean slate without a USB or Install Disc? I know that 10.7 was the first one to come with a recovery partition. But is there possibly any sort of terminal command? Or any other alternative way? (I understand you can create a USB or a Disc but I’m abroad and nowhere near my other computers)

Parallels vs VMWare

I currently use a MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip. For work, I have to use a Windows-only app, so I am testing Parallels and VMWare Fusion. I installed the latest Parallels application, Windows 11 for ARM from Parallels’ library, and the specific application for work. However, when I launch the application, it fails to run. However, when launching the same application in VMWare Fusion on Windows 11 for ARM downloaded from the app’s library, the software runs fine, and the work-specific application can be launched. I must...

MacBook Pro 2019 (intel) uses power when turned off

Hey guys, After I bought a M2 Mac about 4 months ago I really haven’t used my Macbook Pro, but I decided that it can be used for travels/vacation. Before my vacation I updated it (fresh install with the newest update), charged it and used the turn off option. To my surprise, it was at 58% after my flights. That was weird, I thought. But maybe it had something to do with it being moved through security, into the plane, different air pressures etc. But it happened again when...

MBA 2020 Finder crashing when trying to clear trash

I've had this problem recently where, if I try to delete apps (e.g. I just tried to delete Adobe Acrobat Reader) and hit "delete now" in trash, it says that the file can't be deleted. I've checked to see that it's not locked, and that I have read and write access. When I try to clear the trash, finder stalls and quits entirely, forcing me to restart my mac. has anybody else had this problem or know what's going on with this? Thanks in advance.

2018 MacBook Pro 15" Crashing Frequently Due To WindowServer

I'm using a mid-2018 MacBook Pro 15" running macOS Sierra 15.3. Recently, I've had an issue where my computer will freeze and require a forced restart due, I believe, to a kernel panic centered around the WindowServer process. When this happens, the computer locks up and is unresponsive other than the mouse cursor, which can be moved for a 30-60 seconds although nothing can be clicked on/interacted with. After that, the cursor also disappears and the computer remains completely locked up until restarted. Here is a link to my...

2017 imac with fusion drive running high sierra is it worth upgrading to newer OS?

I have not upgraded and wondering on this computer if it is worth doing so. As of now it seems to always be lagging with even simple tasks such as browsing multiple web pages and it can be frustrating. I understand the fusion drives on these are the weak point. Are there any options for making this a bit more tolerable such as upgrading the OS or will the newer OS just make it worse?
