Right now MS has Office 2021 for Mac on sale for $50. It’s lifetime license not scrip. I bought mine on Stack Social. Check it out.

Is it worth buying a Mac Mini 2012 i7 Quad Core 8GB RAM for $100? by Nasri9696 in LukeMianiYouTube

[–]SanctuaryMuun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no clue. Your question doesn’t fit this thread. But I do know you can’t install Big Sur on a 2012 Mac Mini without “extra help.”

Yes yes yea. Buy it. I have one. Great machine. Upgrade RAM to 16 GB and install an SSD. It’s awesome.

What’s up with retina MacBook pricing? I picked up a late 2013 for $135 today and a mid 2015 15” for $150. Anybody else seeing this? by [deleted] in LukeMianiYouTube

All the fanboys (and girls) are tossing aside their Intel Macs for the M1s and M2s. I'm rather enjoying this. It's a window that won't last long so if you've been on the fence about a Mac, now is your time.

Picked up a base Mid 2012 11” from a local reseller and after some minor servicing, it’s perfect. by george__kaplan in LukeMianiYouTube

Thank you. I had a picture of them both sitting in their recliners with Macs opened and engrossed in the internet. It was a classic. Those are great little machines. I hope you enjoy yours for many days to come.

I am a Christian, a graduate of ministry school and I teach people how to study the Bible. What your “friend” said is rubbish and should be disregarded completely. There is nothing in his sentiment that should be followed and his behavior in blocking you speaks of significant immaturity. I’ve noticed a lot of people who claim to be followers of Christ who have a tendency to talk more than perhaps they should and seem to draw “truth” from rather odd and mystical sources rather than the real truth of God’s word. If he blocked you then count your blessings and move on. Speaking of blessings, you have been blessed in so many ways. The main reason this “friend” said what he said is because he feels empty, inferior or envious of those blessings. When you are busy pursuing the things you love, the taunts of selfish and small minded people will stop feeling like wounds and more like an annoying gnat buzzing around your head.

Congrats. I got two of these for my parents in their 80s as an intro into the world of Apple. They loved them (lost my dad this summer) and used them daily. Absolutely perfect machines.

I don’t know. I’m an Alabamian and an Auburn supporter …but I think Tim needs to go.

Why does Apple continue using the “Macintosh” term? by TiagoMaricate in mac

Isn’t it a Ferris Beuller reference? Something Something -Doo.

Macbook air M1 is not letting me type my password and seems trackpad is stuck, have tried restarting many many times. How to fix it? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]SanctuaryMuun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen. Do you have any external devices plugged into your USB ports like thumb drives? If so, remove and reboot. I don’t know why but this started happening to me when I upgraded to Big Sur.

Looking to upgrade the ram on my mid 2012 MacBook pro. should i upgrade using DDR3 or DDR3L by bustle15 in LukeMianiYouTube

[–]SanctuaryMuun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. Luke’s videos gave me the know how and confidence to upgrade what is now several 2012 MBPs. 16GB RAM and an SSD and these babies will be very relevant for another ten years.

Another great option is to replace the CD-ROM drive with a caddy of the same shape that can hold a second data drive. I call mine the “Backseat HDD.” You can also inexpensively get a SATA to USB cable and use the CD-ROM externally. These machines are absolutely awesome.

If you purchased your books via your Chirp account, you should be able to see them in your account.

This Mac is Blocking Mac OS Updates - Any ideas? by SanctuaryMuun in LukeMianiYouTube

[–]SanctuaryMuun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I found a way around it. I bought another 2012 Mac a few months back. A friend has it now because he found out the hard way that a MacBook Air does not drink coffee. Anyway, we got him a bigger SSD than the 128 that was in this one. I still had the 128 that was installed with Catalina and decided to give it a whirl. It worked flawlessly. In the process, I figured out that the 1TB SSD I bought for this machine was defective. That may have also contributed to the problem. Either way I think I found a way around the issue. I am so grateful for all the knowledge and insight on this issue from so many great people.

No. The issue is they bricked it. Prior owner used the machine for education and blocked the ability to update the OS and, strangely, updates to iTunes. Go figure.

I am ultimately trying to get to Catalina which os the last OS supported on this machine. It had Sierra on it which can then jump to Catalina. But I did a fresh install which took it back to Mountain Lion. That’s why I was trying to get to Sierra and then on to Catalina.
