• HELP PLEASE: MAC AIR ULTRA SLOW CPU

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch. It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

  You can check the cycle count using the System Report app in the power section. Alt click on the Apple logo is a convenient shortcut to open System Report. There is also the third-party Coconut Battery app that gives you other nice statistics and keeps track of battery health if you open it occasionally. https://coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• My 2019 MacBook Pro is in worse shape now than it was before I sent it in to be serviced by AppleCare. Have any of you had this issue as well?

• Thinking of purchasing this Ipad Air 4, can anyone tell me if the battery looks OK from this screenshot?

  You can’t really tell anything from that screenshot. I’d ask the seller to use a shortcut like PowerUtil to check the battery health and cycles (alternatively, you could use coconutBattery on a Mac or iMazing on a Windows PC. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does anyone know what’s wrong ! It literally been doing this for days and idk how to fix it, I tried everything. I think something wrong with the battery maybe. But if guys have any clue to fix let me know!

  Possibly battery (use Coconut Battery to check battery capacity). Source: over 1 year ago
