What’s happened to the 27–inch iMac? Will we ever see a 27–inch or larger iMac? When was the last 27–inch iMac released? I’ve been holding out on getting a new iMac for some time now, as I don’t like the size of the 24–inch iMac with the M1 chip. My current 27–inch iMac is six years old and my wife’s 27–inch iMac is 12 years old and she cannot upgrade her macOS. I don’t know if I’ll be able to upgrade my iMac beyond Ventura. I watched AppleInsider’s video which stated that Apple is rumored to release a 30–inch iMac sometime in late 2024 or early 2025. I sure hope that it is not that far off before Apple releases a larger than 24–inch iMac. ROD SOUZA Rod — you’re…

WHEN YOU BUY a new Apple Mac mini, you don’t get a keyboard, mouse/trackpad controller or a monitor. If you don’t already have suitable accessories, you will have to buy them separately. Apple sells some great keyboards and controllers, but its screens are prohibitively expensive. Here are some of the better options you can choose for your new Mac mini. Apple Magic Mouse > From $79 > www.apple.com The wireless, rechargeable Magic Mouse features a multi–touch surface that lets you perform simple gestures, such as swiping through web pages or scrolling up and down. It lasts about a month before it needs recharging. The black version shown costs $99. LG 32-inch 32UP550-W > $450 > www.lg.com If you’re after an impressive display without spending a small fortune, this 32–inch model…

THE iMAC IS a desktop with an impressive history. First introduced in 1998, a new edition was soon released in five colors. A little over two decades later, and Apple returned to this theme with the Apple silicon M1 iMac, which is available in seven colors; Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Silver, or just Blue, Green, Pink or Silver for the least expensive model. The iMac is an all–in–one computer, meaning the screen, computer architecture and webcam are all housed in one unit. And it’s simply a delight to look at. The body is just 0.45 inches thin, and features a solid, rich shade of your chosen color on the back and the stand, with a lighter contrast shade at the front. All three of the current iMac…

THE MACBOOK PRO is for anyone who wants more from their mobile Mac. Does it have more power? Obviously. More screen space? Probably. And what about connectivity? Definitely! There are eight MacBook Pro models in Apple’s current line–up; two 13–inch models, three with 14–inch screens and at the top of the range, three 16–inch laptops. To be honest, there’s little to commend the 13–inch MacBook Pro. Available in Space Gray or Silver, they’re powered by Apple M2 chips, the same as the MacBook Air, and they still have a Touch Bar, an irritating feature that never caught on. If you’re satisfied with this level of performance (and it’s no slouch), you might as well save yourself some money and buy either a 13–inch M2 MacBook Air or its 15–inch sibling…

AS ALWAYS, THE peripherals and accessories listed here can be used on any Mac, but we think they’d be especially useful when paired with a high–performance computer like the Mac Studio. A high–end computer typically requires a high–end screen; if you’re a designer you might need a wide–format printer; and, for extra storage, you could benefit from an external, portable SSD. Epson Expression Photo HD XP–15000 > $399.99 > https://epson.com This printer produces professional glossy prints up to 13” x 19” in size, thanks to six color Claria Photo HD Inks with red and gray. It also has a suite of mobile–printing apps and a handy color LCD display too. Edifier S3000 Pro Wireless Speakers > $899.99 > https://edifier.com If you listen to music while using your Mac, these high–end…

Fortunately, the Elements Organizer is packed full of tools to help you take control over your video collection so you can locate and export the best clips to edit in Premiere Elements. By default, Elements Organizer stores clips chronologically, but this relies on your memory to find a particular clip.

REQUIRES iPadOS 16 or later, Music app, Apple Music subscription (optional) YOU WILL LEARN How to make the most of the Music app on iPad, and access iTunes purchases too IT WILL TAKE 10 minutes OF ALL THE versions of the Music app available on Apple devices, the iPad version is our favorite. It’s simpler to use than the Mac app and is less cramped than the one on iPhone, and it offers the best features of both. Better still, the Music app on iPad makes the most of your tablet’s bigger screen with a great–looking interface that puts all the service’s key features easily at your fingertips. To enjoy music on your iPad you will need at least one of three things: an Apple Music subscription (from $10.99/month); an…

REQUIRES watchOS 10 or later YOU WILL LEARN How to find places, get directions and explore using Maps IT WILL TAKE 5 minutes MAPS HAS BEEN one of the stars on Apple Watch since the very first version, and hopefully we’ve now all got a bit more used to getting vibrations when driving. Apple has given it a visual makeover for watchOS 10, but the core app works just as it always did; you can get real–time directions, select from a range of transport including walking, cyling, and public transit, and locate nearby places ranging from restaurants and coffee shops to parking and service stations. INTEGRATION EASE One of the best things about the Maps app on watchOS is that it integrates tightly with the same app on Mac, iPhone…

> Which app is causing problems? I recently installed several new apps, and since then my Mac has been acting up. How can I tell which of the installed apps is causing the problem, or could it be Ventura? Apps may install login and background items that can cause problems even when the app isn’t running. You may get clues from looking in the CPU pane in Activity Monitor, where they might be listed. Start up in Safe mode to disable them and see if problems persist. If they vanish, you should visit System Settings > General > Login Items to see what happens when you disable their login and background items there. You can also temporarily disable all Login Items by pressing and holding the Shift key when you…

FIRST, YOU NEED to prepare your old Mac for its new role. The best Macs for the job are the Mac mini or an old MacBook, as neither consume large amounts of power, so can be left running 24/7 for always–on access. Start by powering up your Mac and choose “About this Mac” from the Apple menu to review its current specs. See “5 best hardware add–ons” opposite for upgrades to consider — we recommend 8GB of memory (RAM) and a fast boot drive (either SSD or hybrid), plus an Ethernet port adaptor so your server can connect directly to your Wi–Fi router for maximum performance. Visit www.ifixit.com to see which upgrade guides are available and whether upgrading the RAM and/or boot drive are realistic options. When it comes to…

It’s time to add some meat to your new server. These options can be installed directly onto your Mac to provide a hub for other networked devices — computers, mobiles and more — to access shared content and services. Calibre Server > https://calibre-ebook.com If you’re already managing your eBooks using Calibre, why not move it onto your server? You can then make use of its Content Server to give you access to your books through any web browser on your network. Jellyfin > https://jellyfin.org One great use for a server is as a streaming service for all your owned media. If you’re looking for a well–rounded server that’s completely free to use, then Jellyfin offers a slick experience and wide client support. Syncthing > https://syncthing.net Syncthing is designed to keep…

PREVIEW’S IMAGE–EDITING AND annotation tools do more than you might realize. In addition to cropping, adjusting the size of images and converting them to a different format, you can also adjust levels, sharpness and color temperature. There are vector drawing tools, as well as a shape selector so you can add shapes to an image or PDF. That makes it easy to, for example, draw a box around a section of a PDF to highlight before sharing. Many of these tools are also available when you preview an image with Quick Look. That means you can, for instance, crop an image or annotate a PDF straight from the Finder. One of the other useful behind–the–scenes technologies in Preview lives in the Print dialog: Print to PDF. This allows you to…

Andrew Cottle Art Editor Having never owned an Apple Watch, could it be time for Andrew to stop peeking at his iPhone to see if he’s late and consider the new Series 9? Rachel Terzian Production Editor With USB–C replacing Lightning, borrowing chargers from others when you forget your own will be easier in the future (Rachel eagerly hopes). Ian Osborne Contributor After exhausting his Mac knowledge on our buying guide this issue (p12), Ian is really hoping Apple doesn’t announce any new Macs.…

WHAT DO YOU look for in a Mac? Do you want a powerful computer that can handle multiple 8K video feeds, or are you after a more basic device for web surfing and email? Does it need to be portable or are you happy to leave it on your desk? Is money no object or do you have to watch what you spend? Or maybe you’re looking for customization options when buying a Mac from the Apple Store? In this feature, we’ll explore the wide range of choices available to you, according to your needs and budget. There’s a Mac for (almost) every pocket. We also recommend some essential add–ons, accessories and apps you can buy for your new Mac to help you make the most of it. But before…

THERE ARE THREE MacBook Air models currently on sale. The $999 entry–level option is based on an Apple silicon M1 system–on–a–chip (SoC), with an 8–core CPU and a 7–core GPU. It has a 13.3–inch Retina display, up to 16GB unified memory and 256GB of solid–state drive storage. If you want the more modern M2 chip, for $1,099, you can get an 8–core CPU and an 8–core GPU, 8GB of unified memory, a 256GB SSD and a 13.6–inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone. Paying an extra $300 nets you a 10–core GPU, plus 512GB of solid–state storage. At the top of the range is the brand–new 15–inch MacBook Air. There are two models on offer, both of which have an 8–core CPU and 10–core GPU, 8GB of unified memory and…

THERE ARE PLENTY of things you can buy to help you make the most of your iMac. If the public has access to the room your machine is in, for example, you might want to add a security lock to keep it safe. Or maybe you could invest in either a portable external drive or a USB flash drive for taking files away with you. Here are five more great accessories for your iMac. HP ENVY 6455e All–in–One printer > $149.99 > www.hp.com Which printer you choose depends on your specific needs, but if you’re after an all–round device, this one’s great. It can scan and copy as well as print, it has two–sided printing and it connects wirelessly or through USB. ASUS VP32UQ Eye Care Monitor > $339 >…

FOR ANYONE WHO’S invested in a MacBook Pro, it’s safe to assume you’re planning to use it for some serious, processor–intensive tasks. For this, you should turn to high–end, professional applications to help you do the job with ease. And that’s what we’re looking at here. Naturally, these apps run on any Mac that meets the minimum specification requirements; it doesn’t have to be a MacBook Pro. Final Cut Pro > $299.99 > www.apple.com Another pro–level Apple app, Final Cut Pro is excellent for video editing. It has incredible features that help you deliver professional results, such as object tracking, Cinematic mode and more. Its multicam features let you sync up to 64 angles of video at once. Microsoft Office > $149.99 > www.microsoft.com Microsoft’s Office suite gives you Word…

REQUIRES Blocs ($4.99/month or $49.99/year), iPadOS 15.6 or later YOU WILL LEARN How to build a basic website IT WILL TAKE 1 hour BLOCS HAS BEEN available on the Mac for a number of years, enabling web designers and developers to quickly create professional-looking websites and WordPress themes without needing to write any code. More recently it’s been launched on the iPad, giving the choice of creating a website from scratch or using a template. Given the extensive number of features beneath Blocs’ simple-looking interface, it’s difficult to do this app justice. As well as using Bloc sections to structure websites and Bric elements to bring them to life, you can add gradients and shadows, apply CSS filters and add scroll-based parallax effects. Fonts can be imported and the Blocs…

YOU WILL LEARN How Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit helps Windows games run on Mac APPLE’S LATEST M1 AND M2 PROCESSORS PROVIDE MUCH BETTER GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE WHOOPI GOLDBERG CAUSED a bit of a stir online recently, when she criticized games developer Activision Blizzard for not releasing action RPG Diablo IV on Mac. But this is nothing new for Mac gamers, and the sad truth is that Macs have never been any good at gaming. What’s even worse is that this situation is primarily Apple’s own fault. Many Mac models over the years have used underpowered graphics cards that simply weren’t powerful enough to handle high–speed 3D graphics and games. And the arrival of Catalina (macOS 10.15) a few years ago caused a kind of gaming apocalypse, killing off dozens of popular…

HOW DO I CHANGE WHERE SCREENSHOTS ARE SAVED? Press Cmd+Shift+5 to display the floating control panel. Click on Options to choose standard locations, or whether to select another folder. To quit that floating panel press Esc or click the close button at the left. WHERE TO SET THE DEFAULT WEB BROWSER IN VENTURA? Some third–party web browsers will offer this in their Settings, but you can also change it in System Settings > Desktop & Dock; third–party browsers should be listed there, making it simple for you to pick your favorite browser once decided on your preference. HOW TO GET APP STORE UPDATES MORE PROMPTLY? You don’t need to simply wait for the App Store app to show a badge indicating updates are available. Instead, open the App Store app,…

Your server may be ready to go as it is, but consider these hardware upgrades to improve performance, expand your storage capabilities, and give you an option for managing your server from the sofa if it’s connected to your TV. External storage > www.westerndigital.com Your Mac’s boot drive is sufficient for some services, but data–hungry ones like a media server require more. Choose USB 3.0 or better and remember that while portable drives take up less space, they’re usually slower. RAM upgrade > www.crucial.com If your older Mac has just 4GB (or less) of RAM, investigate a low–cost upgrade to 8GB or even 16GB. The more RAM you have, the more services you’ll be able to run concurrently without impacting your server’s performance. Wireless keyboard > www.logitech.com If you place…

THE MAIN FUNCTION of your server is to provide services to the rest of your network. Some examples — like those in our top 5 box on page 57 — can be installed natively, but others require a form of virtualization called Docker. Docker provides so–called “containers” — lightweight virtual machines (VMs) inside which you can install a minimal version of Linux along with the app or service you wish to run. The good news is most containers come with the installing and configuring already done — all you need to do is run them with a few user–defined settings, such as linking the container to one or more physical folders on your server that has your container’s settings and data. You can also configure ports to allow the container…

AS WE’VE SEEN, even the basic features in Preview are pretty powerful. And there’s still more you can do. The Instant Alpha tool, for example, enables you to select some of the background in an image, so Preview can identify the rest (by using the color of the adjacent pixels), and then remove it. Or, you can do the opposite and cut out images by selecting a subject in the picture, extracting it, then copying and pasting the cut–out into another app. Filling in forms is another task where Preview excels. Not only can you type into the boxes on the form, but you can add a signature, either by tracing it on your trackpad or by photographing your signature with your iPhone or your Mac’s built–in camera. You can…

$449 From www.sonos.com Features Speaker — 4x tweeters, 2x woofers, 6x amps; dual–band Wi–Fi, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5 AVAILABLE IN BLACK or white, the Era 300 is considerably larger than either the HomePod or the $249 Era 100, with an unusual hour–glass design. It stands 6.3in high, 10.24in wide and 7.28in deep, and weighs 9.85lb, so it’ll need a fairly solid shelf or table to support it. The powerful speaker houses six drivers, with one high–frequency tweeter facing directly forward, and both a woofer and a tweeter on each side to provide good stereo separation. There’s one last tweeter on the top, angled upward to enhance the sense of spatial sound for films or music that support Dolby Atmos. The Era 300 supports dual–band Wi–Fi for connecting to your home…

Free for 1 month; $4.99/month; $49/year From www.apple.com Features 4K, HDR editing and export, machine learning-powered editing, Live Drawing, keyframe animation Needs iPadOS 16.4 or later and iPad with M1 or M2 APPLE RELEASED FINAL Cut Pro for iPad at the same time as Logic Pro, bringing both of its flagship content creation apps to the platform in a move intended to reinforce the idea of the iPad as a device for creative professionals. While Logic runs on all recent iPads, Final Cut is restricted to models with an M1 or M2 chip due to its demands on the graphics hardware. That will disappoint some people, but Apple often decides to omit older models rather than risk a poor user experience. TOUCHSCREEN EDITING As with Logic, Apple has done an…

AS WIDELY EXPECTED, in this year’s September virtual event, Apple announced a new generation of iPhones and Apple Watches. The 6.1–inch iPhone 15 (starting at $799) and 6.7–inch iPhone 15 Plus ($899 and up) both have a new case design, featuring a color–infused glass back with a textured matte finish for a better grip, and a new contoured edge on the aluminum enclosure. The Super Retina XDR displays now have a peak HDR brightness of 1,600 nits or up to 2,000 nits outdoors — twice as bright as the previous generation. Alongside the 48MP main camera (with a new 24MP default photo output), a new 2x Telephoto option gives users three optical–quality zoom levels to choose from — 0.5x, 1x, and 2x. When there’s a person, cat, or dog in…

> NEW iCLOUD+ TIERS INTRODUCED Apple has increased the price of its iCloud+ premium cloud subscription service by about 25% in a number of countries but not in the US, Canada, or India. However, it has introduced two new levels. Enhanced privacy features are included — such as iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support (enabling you to view footage from your home security cameras in the Home app) — but the core service is storage for photos, files, and backups. If the base level with 5GB of storage for free is not enough for you, 50GB of storage costs 99c per month (with HomeKit Secure Video support for one camera), 200GB $2.99 per month (up to five cameras), and 2TB $9.99 per month (unlimited cameras).…

RECENTLY, A CHANGE to iOS came and went so quickly, you may not have even been aware of it, let alone seen it — but it received the kind of immediate universal scorn usually reserved for a Michael Bay film or for when someone brings fruit salad to a barbecue. In one of the iOS 17 betas, Apple moved the End Call button on the phone screen. That’s it, but the response from anyone who actually had to deal with the unexpected shift was unanimous: “Nope. Don’t like it, can’t handle it, put it back please.” NEW ADDITIONS MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH HOW WE ARE NOW WIRED TO USE THESE DEVICES It’s such a small thing, and yet it’s perhaps the strongest sign yet of a problem that Apple…

THE MAC MINI is the cheapest Mac in the Apple Store by some considerable distance. The entry–level model is just $599, a full $500 less than the next cheapest option — the 13–inch MacBook Air ($1,099). However, don’t assume it’s underpowered. This entry–level Mac mini features the latest Apple silicon M2 system–on–a–chip (SoC), with an 8–core CPU, a 10–core GPU and 8GB of unified memory. You only get 256GB of storage, but if you want more, you can add an external drive or buy the mid–range model instead ($799, 512GB). The top–of–the–range Mac mini also has a 512GB SSD, but it has an M2 Pro chip with 16GB of unified memory and other enhancements, and costs $1,299. Whichever Mac mini you buy, it has one significant, or maybe “potential”, drawback.…

THERE ARE ALL sorts of software packages you can buy for your MacBook Air — or indeed any Mac. Whether you want to write a novel or screenplay, use your Mac for productivity, add a little functionality for when screen space is at a premium, or simply protect your investment, it’s all available for your Mac, via the Mac App Store or the software’s website. iWork > Free > www.apple.com iWork is a suite of Apple apps for productivity. There’s Pages for word processing and basic layout, Numbers for spreadsheets, and Keynote for presentations. And if you bought a brand–new Mac, these apps are free from the Mac App Store. Steam > Free > https://steampowered.com If you like video games, download the Steam client. Use it to buy and launch…

THE MAC PRO is power. Pure, undiluted power. If you need the fastest, most capable Mac there is, the Mac Pro is for you — assuming you can afford it that is. The machine costs $6,999 and there’s only one off–the–shelf configuration for it (however, lots of custom options are available). The price doesn’t include a monitor, although you do get a mouse and a keyboard in the box (unlike the Mac mini and Mac Studio). At the heart of the Mac Pro is the Apple silicon M2 Ultra system–on–a–chip (SoC). Built from two connected M2 Max chips, it has a 24–core CPU with 16 performance cores and eight efficiency cores, a 60–core GPU, 32–core Neural Engine and 800GB/s of memory bandwidth. These figures are mind–boggling, especially when you consider…

REQUIRES Spectre Camera (iOS 15 or later) Slow Shutter Cam (13.1 or later) YOU WILL LEARN How to add motion blur; create long exposures IT WILL TAKE 15 minutes DIGITAL CAMERA USERS can manually adjust their shutter speed to capture a long exposure. This causes moving objects to become blurred, which is a springboard for a variety of creative effects. Ocean waves become abstract paint–like streaks, and cars at night emit laser–like light trails. Your iPhone chooses its shutter speed automatically to try and capture a sharp, blur–free shot. If you shoot in low light, that might trigger Night mode, where you can manually dial in a longer exposure, up to a maximum of 30 seconds. However, in the daytime you’re stuck with the shutter speed that the Camera app…

Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit is actually based on an existing software tool called CrossOver. This was developed by CodeWeavers to help Mac fans get their favorite Windows games and apps running on the Mac. However, CrossOver itself is based on an open–source project called WINE — which stands for “Wine is not an emulator”. That name emphasizes the difference between “emulation” programs like Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion, and the “translation” features provided by WINE, CrossOver, and Apple’s own Game Porting Toolkit. This “translation” approach also means that you don’t need to buy and install a full version of Windows in order to run Windows games on your Mac. And, since your Mac isn’t trying to run both the macOS and Windows at the same time, this also means you…

CAN MAPS ON iOS FIND WHERE I PARKED MY CAR? Yes, provided that your iPhone has been connected to your car’s Bluetooth or CarPlay stereo, and you’ve enabled Show Parked Location at the foot of Settings > Maps. When you park your car, Maps will then try to determine its position and should show that location when it can. HOW CAN I CHECK BATTERY HEALTH ON MY iPAD? Unlike iPhones, Settings > Battery in iPadOS lacks a Battery Health feature, even in the new iPadOS 17. So far, the only substitute is to connect the iPad to a Mac that runs coconutBattery (bit.ly/3LCbK9t) or iMazing (also available for Windows).…

DO YOU HAVE an old Mac gathering dust somewhere in your home? If so, why not press it into service as a dedicated server? As the name implies, a server provides services through your network, from a simple centralized file–sharing repository to full–blown tools such as media streaming, password manager, VPN server, cloud storage, home surveillance, and so much more. In this feature we’ll show you how to prep your old Mac for its new role. You’ll wipe it clean and upgrade it to the latest version of macOS — even if it’s no longer officially supported by Apple. We’ll also highlight useful hardware upgrades — including extra memory, Ethernet add–ons and external storage, and reveal how you can set it up for remote unattended access, so it can be…

NOW MACOS HAS been reinstalled from scratch, it’s time to set it up. The following instructions are for Ventura only; if you have an older build go to System Preferences instead. Open System Settings and navigate to General > Software Update to verify everything’s up to date. As your server will be unattended for long periods, you may want to change the Automatic Updates setting so macOS updates and App Store updates install automatically. However, if you installed macOS through OpenCore Patcher, you need to install these manually via Post–Install Root Patch in the app. Next, let’s configure your server to act as a sharing hub. Most of these settings can be located under General > Sharing. Start by allowing other devices on your network to connect to your choice…

PREVIEW HAS BEEN around as long as Mac OS X and yet in those 20 years, few have given it a second thought. It may have started out as a way to view PDFs, but it’s so much more than that now. You can use Preview to annotate PDFs or images in a number of formats. And it’s a great way to quickly resize images as well as edit them, though admittedly the editing tools are rather limited. Meanwhile, if you need to change the format of an image, you can do that in Preview too. It’s also the perfect tool for scanning images, either from a scanner connected to your Mac or from an iPhone or iPad using Continuity Camera. Preview supports all the recent features of macOS, including…

From $999 From www.apple.com Features 6.1–inch Super Retina XDR Display (2556x1179 pixels), A17 Pro chip, 128/256/512/1TB of storage, Wi–Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 5G, USB–C port THE FIRST TIME Apple launched a new product clad in titanium, iTunes was fresh out of the gate and Apple still sold Macs powered by PowerPC chips — in this case, the PowerBook G4. Arriving in January 2001, it quickly went on to be nicknamed the “TiBook”. Now we have the first “TiPhone”. That’s because, like its famous forebear (and the Apple Watch Ultra), the new iPhone 15 Pro comes in titanium, the same metal used in everything from aeroplanes to surgical implants, thanks to its light weight, strength, and rust resistance. However, rather than clad the back and sides of the iPhone 15 Pro…
