My friend has a pair of AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, but lost the case. And he has another AirPods 2 Pro case for which he had lost the earbuds. Both old and new were linked to his own Apple Account. So, he went to the obvious solution: Use the existing earbuds with the existing case. But he reports having had "trouble". Is there something that a user needs to do to be able to use AirPods Pro 2 earbuds with a different case?

Today’s post on MacRumors.com says: > Apple has not released any MagSafe cases for the iPhone 16e, but third-party cases are already starting to roll out. Is that really true? Are there any cases available that give an iPhone 16 SE MagSafe-like behavior in allowing a magnetic charger to snap into position? Or does “MagSafe case” merely mean it is compatible with the phone’s intrinsic magnetic field (which is lacking on all the SE iPhones)? ---------- I ask because I tried a couple of MagSafe cases for the iPhone SE third-generation that claimed to be MagSafe, but they had virtually no magnetism, if any at all.

One of my AirPods in my AirPods Pro wasn’t charging recently, so I decided to check out the charging pins in the case. I tried fiddling with them using a toothpick attempting to remove any dust in them. However, I overdid it and one of the charging pins is now stuck inside the case as shown in the following image:- (You can see one charging pin is out and the other is stuck inside) I am unable to remove it by tapping on the back of the case and I’ve even tried using a magnet to attract it. The AirPods are out of warranty so I’m not really intent on repairing it at an apple store because I’m pretty sure they’ll ask me to replace the entire case. What can I do?

The goal is to migrate a user account from a BigSur MacBook to a Sonoma MacBook. A SSD time machine backup was created last night. Migration assistant was invoked and the SSD was selected: The source is not using a Case Sensitive filesystem, while your Mac is. The BigSur backup is greyed out,so I have "hit a wall". I can select the backup however, the continue button remains grey / inoperable What can be done to overcome this problem? Do I have to reformat the new MacBook with a Case Insensitive version of APFS and then reinstall Sonoma? Or is there a work around?

I used to be able to select a word, press the shift key and change to the word to Title case by selecting the word in the grey predictive text banner just above keyboard. But this feature does not seem to be working in iOS 15 using iPhone 12. Is there a way to get this working or any other way to quickly change the case of words?

I'm interested in preserving the appearance, physical enclosure and function of my MacBook from scrapes and physical damage. What should I do to protect this type of gear? This is written as a question-answer pairing / self-answer to help others with my experience but would welcome any further answers, I can accept someone else's other than my own as I have done before!

I want to be able to hide the time on iPhone at bedtime. It seems there are no settings that will remove the time or hide the status bar. Is there a case out there that can slot over the top left of the phone and physically hide the time?

I have an early 2016 MacBook A1534 with a failed SSD. I was thinking of buying a logic board from the A1534 early 2015. Everything looks fine by the looks of it all connections match up just fine. But maybe there’s more I don’t know. Can anyone tell me if it will work? Could the pins be different? Picture on the left is a 2016 and on the right is a 2015.

What case material for iPhone is most effective at dissipating heat. With my current case, my iPhone 11 often feels hot at the bottom of the screen but cools down when I take the case off, so I am confident that the case causes some heat to linger around. I was wondering which material will be best at dissipating heat and if you have any recommendations? TPU, rubber, plastic, metal, silicone, etc? *This is not a shopping recommendation question, rather a material specific question.*

I have an iMac Retina 2017 (and a Mini, 2014) running Mojave and Sierra respectively. I had a spare Samsung 850 EVO (250 GB) SSD from another computer that is dying. I got a new USB3 case from Amazon (Orico). Fitted the SSD and plugged it in. Weirdness begins. 1. Wouldn't show up in Finder, Disk Utility, Terminal (diskutil). 2. Unplugged and replugged. Showed up once allowed me to reformat it. 3. Ejected and wouldn't show up again. 4. Tested on both machines. Same problem. 5. Placed the SSD in an old USB2 case. Mounted and worked without an issue. 6. Placed an old 160GB HDD in the USB3 case. Mounted and worked without an issue. 7. Tested the USB3/SSD combo again: wouldn't mount. 8. Changed the USB3 cable with a cable from a Seagate 2TB, 2.5" drive mounted. Allowed me to install Mojave. And then halfway through installing apps, it hung. Hard reboot of iMac. 9. Tried plugging into the Mini. Mouse cursor disappeared! My conclusions: the case works, the drive works, the cable works. They just don't work together. I would be very grateful for any help or pointers. I've already returned one case because it went through these issues. Thank you Ashok

I'm fabricating a plexiglass case just like [this](https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1j0yoHFXXXXcnaXXXq6xXFXXX5/A4-size-acrylic-brochure-holders.jpg) to snugly fit my new MacBook Pro. I'll slide the laptop inside whenever I'm traveling for safety reasons. It'll only be accessible from the right side. Should I place air holes in the back if it's going to be on whilst the lid is closed?

I have the iPhone XR Smart Battery Case , I charge my phone every night and therefore my phone very rarely ever goes below 100% charge as it uses the charge in the battery case first. As I understand it, the idea of the optimised charging feature is to never charge the phone up to 100%, until right before you are expected to use it in the morning. Assuming I rarely go below 100% charge on the phone, is this feature doing anything at all, and if not, would it make any difference if I were to disable it? (If so, for better, worse or no difference at all)

A family member has a really old iphone case that is pretty nice and I'm trying to find the company behind it. Unfortunately the case did not come with packaging (as far as we can remember), it was sold in the Apple Store at the time, and it doesn't have the company name on the case itself, just a logo: I tried a google reverse image look up and it found nothing, so I'm hoping that someone here recognizes it.

I recently bought a new iPhone SE case, a silicone one in book style from B2CTelecom. The particular one I bought in case it matters is https://www.bol.com/nl/p/iphone-se-5s-5-standcase-hoesje-design-stars/9200000104229975/ I've found that while watching online videos like Youtube and Twitch, it gets quite hot after about half an hour to an hour. is this because of the new case acting too much as an insulator? Could this end up damaging my iPhone? The iPhone was bought new in 2016, and the battery max capacity right now is at 91% according to the settings app.

Is it possible to replace my UK layout top case with a new US top case? Also is it possible to replace this 2016 model top case with a 2018 top case?

Trying to find a solution to be able to easily change text case inside of a chrome input field. I know word editors have features like right click > transformations > UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case. I've been looking everywhere for a solution to be able to do this DIRECTLY INSIDE OF A FIELD. Example situation. I have to copy data from a restaurant menu into a website database. I have a PDF provided to me. Everything is in caps or its mixed or the editing program makes it look all caps, but when copied and pasted it's actually lowercase. When I pasted it into a text field on the website admin. I want to be able to right click, and choose to change the case right there. No other work arounds. Anyone know of a chrome extension or mac mods that can do this?

Can I use one pair of AirPods with two or more Charging case units? Can I take turns charging the case, and deposit AirPods into either without any bother? - Apple sells a Charging Case for USD $69. - Apple announced their intention to soon sell a Qi charging case upgrade for AirPods.

Does anyone know whether the iPhone X and the iPhone XS have the exact same measurements as far as cases are concerned? I know that the measurements shown on the [Apple iPhone compare webpage](https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/) are the same, but what about the measurements of the camera? Apple does not show this on their website. Let's suppose, that the X and the XS have the exact same measurements, then every iPhone X case should fit on the XS, correct? But even if there is the slightest difference between them, there could be some iPhone X cases that can't fit iPhone XS.

I disassembled a Mac Pro A1186 for cleaning and upon reassembly found that I have several screws and what appear to be some kind of nuts. I don't remember what they go to. This system did not have any hard disks. I did not remove the only optical drive. Everything else was removed for cleaning including the motherboard. I did not encounter any other similar screws during reassembly. It is therefore presumed that they are totally unique for their purpose. The nuts are also unique and I'd have thought obvious enough considering their size and number to be remembered. But I can't find a place for them. What do these parts go to? For your personal entertainment I must also mention that that, although I am an experienced PC user, this is my very first Mac. It is very embarrassing for me to have reassembled a computer and not only have parts left over but have to ask someone else where they go. For a while during disassembly I kept thinking how nice and obviously thought out everything was. But then all of the different parts and pieces started piling up and I knew that I was in trouble. And, well, here we are! **Answered:** As Tetsujin answerer already, the nuts are part of the locking mechanism that s initiated by a level at the back of the case. I had removed these while trying to figure out how to extract the power supply.  The other two screws, which I found to be identical to the ones which secure the 5.25” drives, secure the cage around the memory boards and secure it to the bottom of the case. 

As you can see in the pictures bellow, this is the palm rest wear I have on my Macbook Air after 1 year of (heavy) usage. I use my laptop professionally, almost on a daily basis for many hours a day. This is the result after cleaning the whole case with a cleaner I purchased from the Apple Store. As you can see it does not really help remove these stains, it does work wonderfully for all other stains... but I'm afraid this wear is actually removing part of the aluminum cases surface, if I'm right, I guess there's not much hope in restoring the finish. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and what you have done about it if you have been able to fix it. Thanks!
