Please help us help you. What Mac model and sub-model ? What macOS version?


True MacBooks were very entry-level and haven't been updated since 2017. The "latest and greatest" on had, if up-ordered, only a 1.4 ghz, 2-core Core i7 processor. I doubt a true macBook is suitable for any AI apps.


If instead you have a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, please clarify. Remember, we are other end users with no way to know what model you have or its macOS version unless you tell us.


It's not you. Apple's naming similarities have created a lot of identification issues here.


PS: "sub-model" is the bit with a year, and possobly includes Early, Mid, or Late in the model name:
