I recently purchased a MacBook Air M1 and I'm currently running macOS Monterey version 12.4. Soon after the setting up the system, I installed chrome and am using it as daily driver for browsing, etc. But I'm facing this issue very frequently where chrome shuts down unexpectedly without notice or me clicking the close button. Strangely this happens with chrome only not any other apps. I assumed it would be some issue with the extensions but thats not the case. Not really sure what to do now.

Hello, I have the problem of constant disconnection when I connect to a Microsoft computer with Microsoft Remote Deskop and Microsoft Remote Deskop Beta applications on my Macbook Air M1 computer. Sometimes every half hour, sometimes every 10 minutes, my connection is constantly disconnected and the application is not responding. I am waiting for your suggestions on how to solve this problem.

Any word on when Apple is going to support VirtualBox on Mac mini M1? I scanned the forums, and didn’t find anything that mentioned the M1. I really miss Kali Linux. john D. @jdcrunchman

I’m not gonna lie, I think I may have mistakenly mounted my Macintosh HD data disk to another location and now all I can do is boot into recovery mode and single user mode. Trying to boot normally gets me to the login screen and then freezes with an endless pinwheel. When I pull up the directories in single-user mode it shows my data folder where the recovery and the preboot folders are… Can anybody help me?

Problem in streaming videos on my MacBook air 2020 i3 model. Every time I stream any video, after ever few minutes video start buffering and I have to turn off and on the wifi from the Mac only then video resume again. No such problem on other devices. There is no problem in WifI. The problem keeps repeated after every 10-15 minutes with makes very annoying to watch any video or movie.

Is it possible to purchase the Mac Mini hardware without the case to integrate into an assembly? There is a lot of open space in the case and it does not fit inside our current device envelope. Is it possible to buy the hardware alone and integrate into an assembly?

Have a 2021 MacBook Pro (16-inch 2021). been 4 months now and have had issues with the speaker where if I play music through both Spotify and Apple Music I can hear crackling every so often. (sometimes it's worse depending on the songs). Wondering if there's anyone out there who is experiencing the same and if there's a fix for this?

Please Apple… figure out what is going on with this or at least a quicker way of closing Alllllll the windows at once. If Ive been away from my desk for a day or two I have to deal with several of those little boxes closing them one by one…. ANNOYING and such a waste of my time. Its bad enough dealing with them throughout my day when they randomly pop up for no reason. It makes it extremely hard to save stuff at times when its constantly ejecting. Ive researched for a solution and all Ive found is several others with the same on going problem… come on already WHERES THE FIX TO THIS PROBLEM ALREADY? 😭😭😭😭

Hello I've noticed that this product, heavily promoted on the ASC forums for many years, is no longer available from the Apple App Store. Can anyone tell me the reason why the product is no longer supported? Friends have asked me if it is 'safe' to use. Is it? Note to moderator: If I'm asking in the wrong places, please redirect my question. Thank you.

Why do you have to cut us users more and more? Since 2013 I use a custom resolution of 1920x1200 HiDPI on my MacBook Pro 13" with help of SwitchresX. Currently these isn’t working anymore on Apple Silicon MacBooks. For me and many other users this is unacceptable behaviour and completely destroys the Mac experience. At a price of 2300€ incl. Apple Care, I would expect that I can at least adjust this little thing as I want it to be?! So for me the MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon is a total bad buy. I need this solution for my daily work to earn my money and Apple thinks that they have to patronize their users, technically without any sense and reason. This is really the last and makes Apple really unsympathetic! Where is the problem to let a user decide which resolution he wants on a device he paid for?!? Why do you always have to jail everything and take freedom away?! That makes me so mad, I would like to throw the MacBook in the trash. It's always the same, a very cool device, but Apples dictatorship.

I have an alias on my desktop the alias points to a file deep inside my user's documents folder i can double click the alias and the original opens as expected. but when i right click it and pick "show original", the finder opens my home folder, with nothing selected, not the document's containing folder with the document selected. same thing happens if i open the document then command-click the icon in the titlebar of the window, (which reveals a popup menu with the path to the document), and pull down to the document's containing folder: the finder reveals only my home folder. what? why?

My mac has been unable to boot properly lately. I wiped the drive and reinstalled Monterey. Unplugged it and waited, etc. Usually it only starts properly in safeboot, but for the first time in a long while, it just booted normally. I got the crash report and I'd love it if someone could read it for me and tell me what to do (if anything). Thank you!
