The newest Mac Pro from Apple features upgradeable memory slots for up to 1.5TB, and OWC is offering customers extraordinary savings off factory upgrade prices. New Mac Pro owners can save up to 65% on memory upgrades through OWC’s Memory trade-in rebate program. The new Mac Pro is a model of both form and function, and the price tag illustrates that. Purchasing the base model and upgrading with memory from OWC allows users to max out their new machines to boost performance levels, work with larger files, speed up render times and more, at incredible cost savings!

Snapshots are a feature of APFS (Apple File System) that has been part of the macOS since High Sierra. A snapshot captures the state of an APFS formatted drive, and preserves all the files on the drive, as they appeared when the snapshot was taken. If you ever need to, you can roll back the drive to its previous state. In this Rocket Yard guide, we're going to take a look at APFS snapshots, how they’re created, managed, and deleted, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of snapshots.

The little matte-blue buy button finally appeared on Apple's Mac Pro page this morning. No hype, no fanfare, no press release, not even a cameo appearance on the homepage. The moment we have all been waiting for has come and gone with nary a peep. So why even throw a post together?

Recently, after upgrading to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, I noticed that Messages sent from my iPhone didn’t appear on my Mac, and vice versa. It took me a while to figure out the problem. However, I did. If you're facing the same problem, here’s what you should do.

Last Tuesday was “Giving Tuesday,” a time set aside to encourage charitable giving. As we mentioned in a recent Rocket Yard post— Giving Tuesday: A Word from Larry O’Connor, OWC Founder and CEO—we believe that giving is not something that should be limited to just one Tuesday a year. Giving should be an ongoing practice for all of us. So, to help encourage you to get involved, OWC has partnered with charity: water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.

Bear with me for some random musings including an Eric Clapton, Karate Kid, Babe, and a children's book reference you may not understand. Apologies if that so happens to be the case, I'm a bit tired. t's after 3:00 AM, December 10, 2019, Central Standard Time here in the U.S. Marques Brownlee spotted the release date of the all-new 2019 Mac Pro several days ago, and many outlets have confirmed the date, rebroadcasting the news. So, can we order now? It's after midnight, and I've got you on my mind! Patience, grasshopper, patience.
