    iOS Pages v3.3.1 is missing the Recipe Template

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 07:01 PM PST

    Long story behind why, but I finally got around to creating a personal recipe book, and opening Pages, and going to the templates list, discovered that the template of a Chocolate Chip Cookie in Lorem Ipsum is no longer there.

    I have absolutely no idea how long it has been since it was removed from the app.

    I also cannot seem to discover any trace of it, so I've come here to see if anyone still has that actual template or a recipe made with that template that I could use as a replacement.

    Thank you all in advance.

    Technical stuff: Devices I've looked on are an iPad Mini 2 (iOS 11.2.2) , and an iPhone 7 (iOS 11.2.2), both using version 3.3.1 of the Pages app. I have in fact called Apple's support line, and they apparently are completely unable to provide ANY templates to me or anyone else. That includes templates past or present. God help anyone who loses/deletes a template for any reason.

    Can the minimum volume for music be lowered?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 06:24 PM PST

    Hello. I got a pair of wireless earbuds on Amazon, it is called S560 from X Live, and when I tried it with my iPhone 7, with iOS 10, the minimum volume is very loud for listening in a quiet environment. Compared the the lightning earbuds which offer a better volume range, the wireless earbuds start very loud at the lowest setting. Is there a way to limit the volume? I am using the music app to listen to music. Thanks in advance.

    Weird security bug, can't use main account password to unlock system preferences, need to use root ? [screencap]

    Looking to buy a used MBP, found one a great price, any way to check if it is stolen before purchasing?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 11:27 AM PST

    Or if I am unable to determine before purchasing, are there any potential repercussions? Could the machine get locked? Tracked?
    edit: Person is holding a gun in their Facebook profile picture... probably steering clear of this one.

    Apple News App has gone missing from my phone and I can’t redownload it

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 06:10 PM PST

    I have an iPhone 7 Plus and recently noticed my Apple News App was missing. I've tried redownloading from the App Store, but it doesn't show up on my phone afterward and pressing OPEN in the App Store does nothing. My restrictions are all turned off as well. I noticed this problem a few days ago and just updated to iOS 11.2.5 today but I'm still having the issue.

    iMessage activation unsuccessful

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 06:08 PM PST

    3 days ago I switched carriers and ported my number over, the store rep advised me to keep iMessage turned off until my number gets ported over then turn it on, it's been over 72 hours and I continue getting "activation unsuccessful, turn on iMessage to try again"

    [url]https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201422[/url] I have done everything on this website, removed my SIM card and restarted my phone, tried activating it on airplane mode, i even have reset my network I do receive text messages, the only thing I haven't tried is resetting my phone.

    Last thing to try is wiping everything and trying but apple support said something must've went wrong when number was being ported over because before number being ported over it worked fine

    Any other ideas apart from the ones I tried would be really appreciated

    My activation code is being sent to the iphone that needs to be activated

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 09:25 PM PST

    I recently switched from sprint to version, which made me reset my phone meaning I have to sign into my apple account again. The problem is that after I put my info in the two-step authorizer made it so I have to put in a code that is sent to a phone. Unfortunately, the number that it sends the code to is my number. I have tried to log in to my account on other devices to try and check my messages, but it requires the same thing. I tried to do the recovery, but the recovery says it will take 6 days to do and will send the directions on what to do to ME. So it looks to me now that I have no way of accessing my account. I need help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    How do I dispose of the many Macbook batteries I have?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 09:07 PM PST

    I have like 20-30 Macbook batteries, from the white Macbooks up to like 2013 Macbook Pros.

    Some are really swollen and make me nervous having them around.

    I am pretty far from an Apple store to bring them there. There is not really a local dump around here to take them either. Sometimes the high school does some electronics recycling, but you never know when they are gonna do it.

    Also, what do you do with other types of batteries, like just AA, AAA, D, C, etc. and also phone batteries. I have a whole box and they are all leaking the nasty battery acid.

    My mom used to bring them to her work where they disposed of them, but she is retired now and I now have a huge collection of batteries that need to be disposed of.

    Thanks

    What is the purpose of My Photo Stream?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 04:37 PM PST

    I decided to experiment with "my photo stream" a couple weeks ago. Been using drop box for the times I needed to get some photos onto my MacBook quickly with fidgeting with my phone cable. I figured "hey lets try my photo stream maybe it's more convenient".

    After 2 weeks of use I've decided that it is completely useless. Tell me if I'm being ignorant here.

    So a photo that ends up in your iPhone or iPad's camera roll is automatically uploaded to "my photo stream". The photo is then added to your photos library automatically. If you delete the photo from "my photo stream" it deletes it from your library too. If you delete the photo in your library it deletes it from "my photo stream" in return.

    So you have up to 1000 photos or 30 days with "my photo stream" before it starts deleting the oldest ones correct? I researched it a bit and apparently you have to save a photo to an album to make sure you don't loose the photo. Which is kind of annoying because while I may want to save a photo, I don't necessarily need it in an album. But whatever, I can get used to that.

    So I saved a photo to an album as a test. Then deleted it from "my photo stream". The photo disappeared from the album too! So there has to be something I'm not getting here. Otherwise people would be freaking out that they're loosing their photos after 30 days. What am I not getting?

    If I designed the service I'd make it so that photos that go through "my photo stream" automatically end up in your library through the "imported" folder. Then you'd just go in and clear out the junk photos from there every once in a while. Leaving all the photos in "my photo stream" to be auto deleted. That way I don't have to worry about loosing important photos.

    I'm sure I have this wrong. But it's been vexing me. Can someone give me some clarity on how this is supposed to work?

    Sped up photosanalysisd?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 04:36 PM PST

    I have recently added a lot of photos to my library, and it is currently only scanning less than 1000 per hour, but none of my system resources appear to be heavily used. I know there were problems in earlier versions with excessive resource usage when people wanted to do other things, but i get this slow processing even when nothing else is running.

    I'm fully updated, and my photos library is stored on my SSD.

    Back up an iPhone to free space?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 08:06 PM PST

    Hello,

    My iPhone 6 has been almost full for a long time and there is not much I want to delete on it. I know about iCloud, but I was not sure if everything on iCloud stayed up forever after it was deleted, so I was curious if there was an easy to back up all my pictures and audio recordings to make space on my iPhone.

    Thanks!

    replacement iphone?

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 07:37 PM PST

    is it possible for me to get my iphone replaced? I went to the apple store today and they told me my phone is in warranty till june

    I want to get my iphone replaced because it is literally just too slow, i can barely use apps at times because of excessive lagging and crashing of apps, especially snapchat. everything else on my phone is good it's just that the phone is just too slow and because im still under warranty would that be a good reason to get my phone replaced or should i just try a new battery? I don't think the battery is the problem because it holds charges fine, it's just typing at times is extremely slow and laggy and i can barely use apps without them crashing

    i have a 6 plus 11.2.2

    iPhone suddenly started announcing the time on the hour.

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 07:30 PM PST

    iPhone 5S, 10.3.3 -- my wife's iPhone has started announcing the time on the hour, and we have no idea how that got started, and we can't make it stop. I've searched on the problem, and it seems all the posts are on how to make the iPhone do that, and no one seems to know how to do it without using an app like Chime.

    She has no alarms set, no reminders set, no apps that deal with time. We're stumped.

    My school has installed an MDM profile on the iPad that we are given (that I payed for) for school use and to restrict stuff...

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 07:07 PM PST

    Like messages FaceTime and the App Store. Is there any way I can remove or completely get rid of the MDM profile so I can have access to those things again because I'd like to be able to have my own stuff on the iPad. Thank you. Please do not just tell me to deal with it. I do not have another iPad and would like to use my property for what I want.

    Would like to update to iOS 11.2.5 but my phone is only showing iOS 11 when I go to 'Software Update'.

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 02:27 PM PST

    My iPhone is on iOS 10.2 and I didn't want to update it for fear of slowdown. Unfortunately, my phone started acting weird yesterday and I started being signed out of applications like YouTube and Spotify. All of my tabs in Safari were erased (and still occasionally erased without me X-ing out of the tab). My photos were at 0 but finally reappeared fully. My text messages unfortunately disappeared completely even though the size is the same in my storage (13gb)

    I just downloaded iOS 11.2.5 for my iPad and that worked perfectly. I was able to backup the tablet. When I went to go download the update for the iPhone thinking that would be the quick fix, I noticed it doesn't even show 11.2.5. It just says "iOS 11". That is a first and normally it is the current available version. I'm trying to download the software from iTunes but that failed once because it timed out but I'm trying again now.

    Is there a chance I can save my texts if I can just download the new update...if I CAN download the new update? (My last backup was June 6th, 2017 so I don't want to lose pictures and notes)

    Stupid question about downgrading OSX

    Posted: 23 Jan 2018 12:01 PM PST

    Basically I have a early 2011 MacBook Pro. I updated the ram and switched to a SSD. I recently updated to what ever the newest software is and I'm noticing performance issues 😰 and I feel the OS is to much for the processor to handle.

    Would it be worth downgrading the OS or not?

    I basically use the laptop now for basic things. Photos app (honestly miss iPhotos), browsing the web and iTunes to organize my music.

    Is it as simple as putting my snow leopard cd in and formatting the drive like a PC? Or it's not recommended to do?

    Thanks in advance for ya'll advise
