Looking for Apple Manuals? Check the New Documentation Site

<div class="media_block"><img src="https://www.creativetechs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/looking-for-apple-manuals-check-the-new-documentation-site.jpg"></div><p>Apple publishes a multitude of manuals and tons of technical documentation for its products on its support site, but until recently, it could be challenging to find something specific because the search engine on Apple’s site is poor. For a better path into Apple’s online support materials, check out the company’s new <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Documentation</a> site, which brings together manuals, specs, and some downloads for nearly all its products. The operating system User Guides are particularly helpful, and they even provide a Version pop-up menu that lets you make sure you’re getting information for the version you’re using.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10345" src="https://www.creativetechs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/looking-for-apple-manuals-check-the-new-documentation-site.png" alt="" width="1016" height="674" /></p> <p>(Featured image by iStock.com/Ildo Frazao)</p> <hr /> <p>Social Media: Do you want to read the actual manuals or specs for Apple products?

New 16-inch MacBook Pro Sports a Redesigned Scissor-Switch Keyboard

The New 16" MacBook Pro is a solid upgrade, particularly for those who have been delaying due to the problems with the butterfly keyboard. The only real problem is that the smaller, lighter, and less expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air are still saddled with that keyboard. We hope 2020 will bring the redesigned scissor-switch keyboard to those models as well.

Need to Charge Your iPhone or iPad More Quickly? Get a Higher Wattage Power Adapter

Need to Charge Your iPhone or iPad More Quickly? Get a Higher Wattage Power Adapter

By default, most iPhones and iPads ship with Apple’s tiny 5-watt power adapters. They work, but not quickly. However, the iPhone 8 and later, all models of the iPad Pro, and the most recent iPad Air and iPad mini models support fast charging when connected to higher wattage power adapters. You may have an older one of these around, or you can buy a new one. Apple has bundled with iOS devices or sold 10-watt, 12-watt ($19), and 18-watt ($29, USB-C) power adapters, and the company has also produced 29-watt, 30-watt ($49), 61-watt ($69), and 87-watt ($79) USB-C power adapters for Mac laptops. Plug your compatible iPhone or iPad into one of these chargers with an appropriate cable (for a USB-C charger, you’ll need a USB-C to Lightning Cable, $19), and it will charge significantly more quickly. Look for a wattage rating on the adapter itself, or multiply the output volts and amps together to get watts.
