Display Too Dark

I'm on a MacBook Pro late 2013 running OS 10.15. For some time now the display has been very dark, making it impossible to watch most movies, etc. Things like YouTube vids are usually okay but movies on Netflix, e.g. are just too dark to watch. I have brightness on full and I've diddled around with the display profile but nothing helps.

I've just compared the same movie scene on my MacBook and on my iPad and the difference is night and day (no pun intended). Is there anything I can...

Desktop Icon for Drive

I have a new MacBook Pro 16" M1. On my previous Macs, I have an icon of my drive on my desktop. I use it to see the amount of space I have left.
There is no drive icon on my desktop. I have been looking but I have not found a solution. What do I have to do so I can see this icon on the desktop?

Connect PS4 controller to iPhone 11Pro Max

I was told I could use a PS4 controller with my iPhone 11Pro Max. I held the PS +Share buttons down on the controller and it popped up on the phone no problem. It connected no problem but it doesn’t control the game at all.

I am playing Elder Scrolls: Blades. Are there only certain games it works with?

New to the site and sorta new to Mac

Hello all. I just wanted to get the intro out of the way before I went poking around.

I am a veteran of the whole forum thing but relatively new to anything Apple or Mac. My kids have had them for years but I just switched a while ago when the Iphone 11 came out. My phone is an 11Pro Max and I just ordered an iPad 11Pro which should arrive sometime in the first week of January.

Looking forward to learning on here - mostly about which apps are the best. I am particularly interested in...

Back-to-back (ups)

Can't recall if it was one of these excellent gentlemen--Patrick, MacDoc, MacFury--who told me a bootable clone.

'Kay, I've finally cleared a disk for the purpose and I have a few questions:

1) CCC or SD!?

2) Does CCC &/or SD! rebuild cumulative backups when you tell it to? I.e., add your new stuff.

3) I have a 1TB Mac. Is 2.5TB enough space on the backup disk. I'm using a 5TB external, half for clone, half for Time Machine.

Does this sound good? TIA!

All My Files: deletes from iCloud?

Does deleting files from All My Files really remove them from iCloud also? Why would it pull files from iCloud when all I'm trying to do is make more storage space on my MBP?

Battery Health on iOS and iPadOS devices

What does your battery health % show for your device? And if you have a lower 80% reading, are you having any issues on your device?

My iPhone 6s shows battery health at 80%. I have started seeing unexpected device shutdowns and restarts. This appears to happen when the battery is showing less than 50% charge and I install an app.

Smartphone Screen Size Preference

I saw some discussion in another thread on this and thought it warranted further discussion. What size smartphone do you prefer?

I prefer a bigger screen. I don’t talk on my phone that much. I prefer to text. I also use my phone a lot for video streaming and the multiple apps I use on a regular basis. I find the bigger screen works best for me.

What's your uptime?

I'm still running Mojave (10.14.6) on my 2018 (2017 model) 27" 5K iMac (custom 4.2ghz i7) 24gb RAM.

My son is suffering along on a 2011 iMac (at least until Xmas). If he doesnt' reboot at least once a day, his system just can't cope with the things thrown at it (mainly Minecraft, Roblox and some web-based games via Chrome).

He came into my home office and was asking some questions about my system (and lamenting his techno-suffering), and somehow the topic of uptime came up. I hadn't...

Your experience with Apple Support

I'll start this thread with my experience last night and this morning.

In relation to my battery performance issue here, I contacted Apple chat support last night. The agent sent me a couple of links to Apple Support articles on the battery. I had already read those, so other suggestions were made, including putting the phone into Recovery Mode. None of this worked, so the agent created an phone...

How Often do you Upgrade your iPhone Model

Curious how often you upgrade your iPhone model? I am currently on a iPhone XS. The only reason I’m using this model is because it is a hand me down from my wife. She got an iPhone XR from work. Previously I had an iPhone 8. Also a hand me down from my wife. 😁. So I guess I’m on an upgrade cycle of every 4 years. I’m the last in my family to fry an upgrade. My wife and two kids get upgrades before me.

Sick of Captcha every couple of days. Why do we need a captcha for this forum at all?

As the title says, why do we even need a captcha for this site? OK, I suppose you might need it to prevent spammers, but I am sick and tired of having to do the captcha every couple of days and clicking through two screens of boats and buses and trains and traffic lights etc.

Yes I access this forum from the exact same machine every day and from the exact same browser every day.

I already quit the forum once because of this hassle; and then came back because it looked like the issue had...

Battery Health on iPhone 6s

Some time ago, I foolishly disabled the Performance Management feature that was enabled after an unexpected shutdown, because I did not know any better. This was OK for a while, but now I am starting to get these shutdowns again and cannot find a way to re enable the Performance Management. This started happening after the upgrade to iOS 15. Using Low Power Setting seems to help.

Searching the Apple Support site, I find that Performance Management cannot be re enabled manually. But it says...
