    A tip for when renting movies on iTunes via the TV app

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 05:39 PM PDT

    So, I just rented some movies on iTunes using the TV app, and at first, they weren't showing up in my library. When I searched for the movies, it said I could play them, but I couldn't download them and they didn't show up again. I didn't want to try playing the movie, because then I would start the 48 period then and there, which would be inconvenient since I have plans this weekend. Well, one solution I found that fixed the problem was to go into the iTunes Store, and download one of the movies from there. This made all the other movies show up in my library, and the problem was solved. I don't know if this is a problem caused by my own personal ineptitude, but I wanted to share anyway, in case anyone was confused. :)

    MacBook Pro A1278 MagSafe Board Replacement

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:36 PM PDT

    I need to replace my MagSafe board on my A1278. I have tried a new charger, new battery, this is the last straw.

    I found a step-by-step instruction on how to do the replacement on the MagSafe board and the difficulty rating is classified as "difficult" but was wondering if any of you redditors have done this and can elaborate on the difficulty.

    I would say i am "proficient" in the manipulation of hardware; I have built PC's but have never messed with a laptop before. I would rather do it myself rather than paying for the labor to get it done.

    Here is the part i ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GU75JFS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Here are the instructions I will be using: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+MagSafe+DC-In+Board+Replacement/5152

    Let me know if I should go forward with it or if I should swallow my pride and pay for it to get done.

    EDIT

    Clarifying remarks:

    from what i can gather, the MagSafe port itself looks to have either corrosion or something going on like heat damage. The charger will show an orange light, but the computer will not charge (sometimes stays at 0% for hours) and will NEVER get to 100%. Additionally, the charger end that connects to the MagSafe gets really hot. I know these things get warm, but this thing gets hot to the touch. I have tried cleaning the MagSafe with what everyone recommends on the internet (light brush or small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab) and no change. Hopefully this explains the signs and symptoms I am experiencing. Also, no liquid damage that I am aware of.

    How do I see the time I visited a website in my browser history for Safari?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 06:24 PM PDT

    I'm on High Sierra and I just want to know when I visited a particular site. All the answers I've seen point to Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/History but there's no Caches folder anymore. There's a history.db in Library/Safari but it's in Binary and there seems to be nothing of significance in Libary/Caches/com.apple.safari.

    I can't find any explanation for this online for Sierra or newer. It's kind of ridiculous that it is so difficult to do something that comes standard in literally every other browser.

    Anyone else with an iphone 8 PLUS experiencing bluetooth connection issues?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 08:15 PM PDT

    Like the title says. I use only one bluetooth speaker and with my 6 Plus there were no issues even at longer range. With my new 8 Plus connection is: weirdly unstable at times range suck even though it is suppose to be better. It crackles and randomly disconnects.

    Just before i contact apple for replacement since I just bought it 2 days ago.Has anyone else had issues like this? otherwise its probably my speaker. Thank you! Edit: Ive already tried all the disable and enable and hard reboot ect on google. So thats why.

    I am running IOS 11.0

    iTunes keeps popping up randomly

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 10:04 PM PDT

    So every time I plug in my headphones iTunes pops up and starts playing music. I've dealt with the playing music portion by keeping the volume on the app at 0 but every time I close the app, it'll pop up a few seconds later. I've also noticed that when it's playing music it'll skip itself around, pause and play itself. Version is El Captain and it's a MacBook Air.

    How can I setup my Macbook Air 13" (Early 2014) with 2 monitors?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 09:04 PM PDT

    I am creating a home office and my Macbook Air is the workhorse. I wanted to setup 2 monitors to "extend" the screens, essentially having 3 screens (including my laptop monitor) where I can click and drag my windows to the different monitors. How can I achieve this? Do I need to by a docking station for my laptop with a Y-splitter HDMI cable? Any help would be awesome

    I've twice seen it appear in my menu bar and then rapidly disappear. I have no idea what it is. Anyone ever see a menu bar icon that looks like a black and white shining sun?

    How To Install Mac OS on A1278

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 03:13 PM PDT

    I'm looking for general best practices to installing an OS from scratch onto an A1278.

    General breakdown of why I am doing this... it was my gf's mother's laptop whose hard drive became corrupted. I installed debian onto it which works perfectly. But my gf is not happy. She likes the Mac OS interface and the host of programs it could use. Mainly Adobe Illustrator.

    According to that link above, the laptop should be able to handle the latest version of Mac OS. Is that correct?

    So there is a fresh hard drive in the machine with no recovery installation media on it.

    How would you go about installing the latest version of Mac OS to an A1278.

    I am working from a laptop running Debian.

    I read here that you need to have an apple id and access to the apple app store in order to download an installation file. Is that still the case today?

    Thank you for reading!

    Problems with iPhone 5s

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 03:11 PM PDT

    Since about 24 hours ago, my phone has been Searching for a signal for a mobile connection. I have tried every apart from factory resetting that I can find including hard resetting and resetting my network settings. Upon trying to fix this issue I tried updating my phone to the latest IOS update I got an error (despite being connected to a secure home WiFi network) saying that I could not verify the update because the internet connection was lost. Is anyone else having the same issue? Does anyone know what might fix it? Could it be a hardware issue? Thanks for any help :) really appreciated

    Is there a way to download all my Apple Music library at once?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:57 PM PDT

    I just got the red iPhone 7+ in September and every so often, my phone just goes totally black. It's never ever been dropped and is in a case. I feel like I need to restore to factory settings, but I have over 2000 songs downloaded to my phone from Apple Music. Is there a way to download all my songs again at once?

    Apple ID change

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:26 PM PDT

    I have a guy I work with that has a iPhone 6 well when they set him up they didn't give him his own apple Id. It's some else's I'd and he can't do anything with it because he doesn't have the password for that apple Id. I know it's stupid. Here's what I want to try. I got him an apple Id so in theory I should be able to sign out of this current I'd and sign him into the new one. Then ta da all is well, right? So once he finally plugs the phone with the new Apple ID into a computer to back things up will all be well with any info already on the phone? This should work smooth right? I'm afraid he will lose his contacts at some point. Or do I really need to worry? Has anybody done this before? What was the outcome? Thanks all.

    Will apple remove iCloud lock from my iPhone with a replaced MOBO?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:17 PM PDT

    I have an iPhone 6 that I purchased launch day, three years ago with T-mobile. I used it for two years and then upgraded to an android phone. I gave the iPhone 6 to a family member were they dropped the phone in water and I had to have the motherboard replaced. Now the family member restored the phone to give back to me and their is an iCloud lock on the device. She has no idea what the password is for her email or the iCloud.

    I called T-mobile and I have received proof of purchase with the IMEI on the back housing of the phone but it is not the IMEI that the phone shows on screen. Will apple unlock my iPhone or will I waste a day going to the apple store?

    People only hear static on phone calls? I can hear them fine. I'm scared to restart my phone though because I just had to replace my 7+ 3ish days ago because it got stuck in a reboot loop when I updated the new IOS So I'm scared to try/restart it. What could the issue be? It was fine this morning

    iPad Mini 2 not charging!

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:14 PM PDT

    So I went ahead to plug in my iPad and let it charge, it was at 2% battery. I did something else for 2 hours, not using it. It showed it was charging when I plugged it in, but when I come after 2 hours, I find it at 1%. What is causing this?

    Apple Music Not Working

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 10:26 AM PDT

    First pop up on my iPhone said "content no authorised". I logged out and logged in but Apple Music didn't recognised I had Apple Music subscribed. I subscribed a couple of days ago.

    here on the second photo

    After I somehow managed to log in Apple Music and subscribed like 8 times (I paid every time they tell me to subscribe. I hope I'm not getting charged extra), I managed to log in again.

    This time they said my Apple Music has expired when I clearly have paid. It's getting very frustrating. I'm thinking of going back to Spotify.

    Transferring WhatsApp & iMessage data to new iPhone

    Posted: 26 Oct 2017 02:08 PM PDT

    So I'm getting an iPhone X to replace my 6 Plus, and I want to start fresh without restoring my 6 Plus backup because it's become buggy and unstable. The only problem is that I want to transfer my WhatsApp data over to the new phone and WhatsApp is taking up 12GB of space, so I can't back it up to iCloud. Is there any way to transfer it over without restoring from backup and without iCloud? Also, will iMessages transfer automatically to my new iPhone or do I have to restore it from my 6 Plus backup?
