    In Apple Pages, is the long delay between "learning" a word and the red underline disappearing a design feature, or is it a bug?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:54 PM PST

    I've been using Apple Pages on Mac OS recently because it seems to handle long documents (a few hundred pages) better than Word. One problem I've encountered is with the spell check feature - when I choose "Learn" for a word not yet in the spell checker dictionary, the red underline remains there for a long period of time (or until I close and reopen the document). Is this something Apple's done by design? In Word the red underline is removed almost immediately when a word is added to the dictionary.

    iPhone is uploading entire photo library for no reason?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:02 PM PST

    My iPhone keeps trying to reupload all my iCloud photos, even though they already exist on iCloud.

    I was going to let it do whatever it thinks it needs to do, but with over 10000 photos and a slow ADSL line it is going to take a very long time.

    I'm thinking I need to wipe the photos from the phone and let them all download again. Still slow, but my download speed is much faster than my upload, so it will be faster than what it is currently doing.

    But how do I go about doing this? I figured I'd just disable iCloud Photo Library, delete the photos, then turn the photo library back on again.

    I disabled iCloud Photo Library on the phone, but where is the big "Delete all photos from this phone" button? Does one exist? Is there an easier way to fix this?

    Is there any way to trick iPad smart cases with keyboards into working with other Bluetooth enabled devices?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:33 PM PST

    I have a Logitech type + for an iPad Air, and the iPad for it has been stolen. I know it needs the magnets in the device to connect to the magnetic strip on the keyboard for it to turn on, but is there any way to cheat the magnetic strip on the keyboard into thinking there's an iPad connected so I can use it with other Bluetooth enabled tablets?

    Boot Camp Assistant can't unlock preferences

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:05 PM PST

    Hi, I'm trying to install a bootcamp partition on my 10.13.1 Late 2014 27-inch iMac. I run bootcamp assistant, which formats the selected USB drive, starts to copy the files, and then hangs halfway. It will hang indefinitely until I click stop, at which point a window pops up prompting me for my password, saying "Boot Camp Assistant is trying to unlock Startup Disk preferences." But I can't see the window until I click stop. It's not under the BCA window or minimized or anything else. Any idea how I can allow the preferences?

    I'd configure the disk myself, but I think it needs to be FAT32, which has a 4GB file limit and the Windows 10 iso is 4.7GB, so I'm stuck there too.

    Help appreciated!

    Preview App - Text Within PDF Cell Not 'Wrapping/Resizing'

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:17 PM PST

    Normally, if I typed a long string into a PDF cell using preview, the text would automatically resize to fit the width of the cell. For some reason now the text just keeps on going beyond the width of the cell. Is there a setting for this?

    App Store showing “No Purchases”

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:43 PM PST

    I cannot share purchases with my family because my App Store shows no purchases even though purchases have been made. I have looked all over the internet and there's no solutions that work. Has any one had this issue?

    Where can I sell my 2009 MacBook?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:11 PM PST

    I have an old MacBook that doesn't really work anymore. It turns on sometimes and the hard drive is still good, so I figure I can at least sell it for parts. How much should I expect to get out of it? Are there any companies that specifically look to buy old hardware?

    Macbook Air Keyboard Replacement - A1465

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 08:07 PM PST

    Replacing the keyboard on a Macbook Air, I've seen several walkthroughs showing the technician replacing the rivets with a set of screws purchased with the replacement keyboard. Unfortunately, the keyboard I purchased did not come with these screws . How important are the rivets / replacement screws to securing the keyboard, will the device still be functional?

    Help, my account is locked

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:54 PM PST

    I bought an iPhone X and was logging into Apple ID accounts I have to retrieve my contacts and gamecenter (spread out over three throughout the years because I didn't understand iCloud or try to learn) but my oldest one which I cannot remember the password too has a now defunct email on record and 2 security questions too which I don't know the answers to because I made them when I was 10. So now that my account is locked and I don't have the email on record and the security questions are gone how do I access it?

    Network errors in Netflix and some Microsoft Office apps on iPad Mini 2

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:21 PM PST

    We have two iPad Mini 2 in the house, both originally on iOS 11.2.1, but one has had network errors since two days ago. First, sending a word or powerpoint file through FB messenger leads to an error. And second, Netflix just won't connect -- here is what the apps say. What I tried:

    • restarting our router and iPad
    • reinstalling Netflix, Word and PowerPoint
    • resetting the network settings of the iPad
    • installing the latest iOS and app versions
    • and some others Netflix recommended

    Font change in iPhone email?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:43 PM PST

    Is there no way to change the font in an email composition on the iPhone? I keep having the issue where I am writing a message, then paste in something from another doc, so then the font changes to the new one and won't change back, and I can't find a way to select all and just make the whole text the same! Is there a way to do this that I'm missing? I don't care what font it is, I just want it to be consistent!

    brand new straight talk iphone SE. APN profile problem.

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:38 PM PST

    So i purchased a new iphone SE (cdma) from straight talk and i have not been able to get 4g LTE to work at all. i have manually tried to download the APN profile and every time i go to do so it tells me "only one apn can be installed at once". i don't understand because there isn't any profile on my phone and cannot use LTE. I can use 3g just fine. i've called both apple support and straight talk customer service. i read a few threads where someone said that the APN could be in installation limbo and will not finish. i haven't found a solution yet. when i went to set it up i used a gsm sim and used itunes to set it up if that has anything to do with it. but i'm able to use everything just fine except 4G LTE. does anyone have an idea how i could go about getting LTE to work?

    Where to buy an Apple OEM Macbook Air replacement battery?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:03 PM PST

    I have a mid-2012, 13-inch Macbook Air and the battery needs to be replaced. I went to the Apple Store and they said it would take 3 days and would be $129. I've decided I'm going to replace it myself, and after looking around for a bit it seems like the smart and safe move is to buy an Apple OEM battery. I'm having trouble finding actual, reliable, OEM batteries online. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Boot camp, Win 7, and High Sierra get on a bus...

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:24 AM PST

    I will start this by saying I know that Win 7 is no longer supported. That is not my question.

    I recently upgraded my iMac from a late 2012 27" to a late '15 Retina 5K. I previously had Windows 7 on boot camp. I am trying to reinstall Windows on my new Mac and obviously it won't work. My question is this- is there a way to upgrade to Win 10 with my Win 7 key? The program for assistive technologies is still available, but that only offers an .exe file to initiate the upgrade. If anyone has any information I would be very appreciative.

    My iPad mini screen became really glitchy. Ghost touching mostly. Tried reboot, restore, and cleaning with no improvement. Please Help!

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:29 PM PST

    I have an iPad mini 2 that's up to date and I've had no problems with it before last week. At first the "ghost touching" was intermittent and not to intrusive. I didn't think much of it and kept using it . Now I can barely turn it on because its spazzing out completely. Any suggestions?

    Is there an email app that doesn’t try to re-download open messages every time I open the app?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:26 PM PST

    This is a really frustrating "feature" of iOS Mail (fully updated but unchanged for the past few versions). When I have an email or email thread open and go out of the app to another app and then come back, the text all disappears and stays gone for a while while the spinning data transfer icon displays in the status bar for a little while, and occasionally, especially if I'm in an area with weak signal, the message never does come back up.

    This is really frustrating. I would really prefer if email messages actually downloaded or at least cached to the phone's storage rather than trying to reload the message from the server every time I try to look at it. I use my phone and email for work and screenshotting emails before going to court shouldn't be a necessary workaround. But I understand there isn't a setting switch to flip to fix this.

    So, is anyone aware of an alternative mail client that actually downloads messages to the phone's internal storage? The gmail app, if it happens to do this, is not an option because I use other email services, nor is Outlook for the same reason.

    Has anyone else encountered this bug?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:32 PM PST

    Sometimes a magnifying glass effect will appear from nowhere and it requires me rebooting my Iphone X to make it disappear. It's always in the upper right corner, takes up 1/4 of the screen. I tried to take a screenshot but the picture didn't capture the bug. Very annoying, has anyone else encountered this bug?

    Will Genius Bar need to delete my MBP's contents fixing a simple hardware issue?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:18 PM PST

    So I have the 2016 15-inch MBP and it has the popping sound issue. Everywhere I read online indicates that this is either fixed by replacing the screen or tightening some screws.

    The issue is a minor annoying, so I'm considering cancelling my appointment if they're going to try formatting my SSD or something.

    Thanks!

    iPhone 6 backlight issue - options?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:53 PM PST

    My wife's iPhone 6 64GB (fully updated) just died on her - or so we thought. She was reading a local news website and then just said "my phone had gone off".

    It seemed non responsive so we tried hard resets a couple of times. It's in the Apple Silicon case (the product red one) and she charges it using its own power plug it came with, and the original cable.

    She barely uses it except to check the news, take photos, and send text messages, and as satnav in her car via CarPlay. The phone looks as good as new - seriously, other than fingerprints on the screen externally it's in showroom condition.

    Anyway, the phone was really hot, so we took it out of the case. The phone was incredibly hot just behind the power button, and the button itself was almost painful to touch. We tried doing a hard reset a few times but it never came back on. It then started to cool so we thought the phone had switched off, maybe through thermal shutdown or the battery had died.

    So we plugged it in and we heard a binging sound. We realised the phone was still on, and I called it from my iPhone to confirm - the phone actually rang. I pressed and held the power button, and using the flashlight on my phone I could see the X in a white circle used to cancel the power off screen. Swiping my finger left to right in the correct position at the top of the screen did shut it down (calling it no longer got a response).

    So to summarise - the phone works, and is displaying an image on the screen, but the backlight seems to have gone as we can't see the image without a flashlight, and only then where it is a bright white circle.

    I should add, we can't see the PIN code entry screen and don't want to lock out the phone with multiple attempts to get in. On top of that, my wife never set up Touch ID as it didn't seem to recognise her fingerprints, so we can't get in that way, or use Siri. It's 11:47pm here (UK) so we haven't tried plugging it in to her car yet (she'd be able to phone and text via Siri if she desperately needed to).

    Any ideas/advice? I'm guessing Apple will charge a lot for a backlight repair - screen repairs are £156.44 but I don't know if a backlight repair would come under "other repairs" at an eye watering £306.44 (almost two thirds of the cost of a new 6S 32GB). I'm not confident about using a third party repairer - I've had friends with badly screwed up phones after using those places.
