#apple issues

My phoneisnt working so thats no good

Likei cant unlock it 😬😬😬

Sooooooo, I have no idea if anyone has an answer and I will go to a shop as soon as I can but I was wondering anyone would be able to help. I recently got a Xbox One controller for my MacBook. I even researched to make sure I got the right thing. I even researched the download “360 controller” from GitHub to make sure it wasn’t bad.

my backup batteries: nice cord brah! Let me charge that for you nice and quick, no disconnects, no fuss. Quality cord friend! Here’s your fone, all nice and charged. Love you man!

god. if i didn't receive a text. PHP 4990.00 worth of purchases. wtf. WTF!!! you're lucky the transaction didn't go through because i'll be out for your blood.

i really REALLY hope apple can find you for me. or at least have some fucking protocols to make sure YOU REGRET trying to steal from people like this.

- “i” key doesn’t work upon restart, instead the computer makes a little noise (I assume some sort of “error” or “you can’t do that” noise. It sounds like a little “plick!” type sound.) All other keys seem to work. Only appears as I start the computer up, happening while I’m logging in, hence I can’t see what characters are being input by working keys. May relate to next issue. Requires restart to fix.

- Keyboard randomly switches to special characters only. Requires restart for long fix, can be fixed for a couple minutes by toggling sticky keys on and off. Sticky keys trick only works sometimes. May be related to “i” key not working.

- Computer turns itself back on after I put it to sleep. My mom has reported this problem with her much newer Mac computer as well, but none of the others on this list.

- Computer doesn’t fall asleep naturally despite me having screensaver set to start after 1 minute of inactivity and display to fully shut off after 2 minutes, and to require password after 5 minutes. Only happens sometimes. Seemingly random, not affected by restart.

- When clicking between various open windows, window previously being used will disappear even thought it’s still shown as open by its toolbar icon. Clicking on the finder background also triggers this. If multiple finder folder windows are open, both/all with disappear when clicked off of, as well as when the red x button is clicked on one to close it. Requires restart to fix.

- Links in browsers such as google chrome cannot be opened, instead start automatically downloading. Requires restart to fix.

- Force quit window (from finder apple icon menu at top of screen) disappears after you quit the application you were attempting to quit, even if there are other applications still open.

- When something needs to be fixed via restart, and restart is clicked through the apple icon menu, restart initiates instantly instead of showing a pop up with a 1 minute countdown, as it would if the computer were behaving normally.

Additionally:

- If I’m using my phone (iPhone SE, running on iOS 16.6.1) and I have it open using safari, an icon shows up on my toolbar for google chrome saying it’s being used through my phone. I do not have the google chrome app on my phone. If I click the icon it does however open the correct link that is open on my phone, through google chrome. I do have safari still in my computer, I don’t think it can be removed, but I DO have chrome set to my default browser, so this may be an intended function. This does not change if I restart. I’ve also only noticed this today because I was charging my phone through my computer usb while at my desk, so it may only happen while my phone is plugged in.

- Often times, I will have to restart the computer between 1-3 times back-to-back before it works without these issues occurring. The last couple days it’s been a shorter amount of time without issues between each time I have to restart.

It’s a refurbished Mac desktop running on Ventura 13.6.1 as of when I’m writing this, I updated it today after ignoring the update prompt for a little while but the issues have not changed. I believe it was originally made in 2014, but I may remember incorrectly and I can’t find the original year in the “about this Mac” section.

This has been happening for months now, but it’s gotten worse over the last couple weeks, to the point where it’s hard to use for more than 5-10 minutes at a time without having to restart.
