    Is it hard to replace macOS without using Boot Camp

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:34 PM PDT

    I want to install Windows 10 only.

    Most solutions say to use Boot Camp, but I don't want to leave macOS on the system. And from what I've read, Boot Camp also uses a hybrid GPT/MBR bios.

    I'm more interested in switching to UEFI or legacy BIOS to support Windows 10.

    Problems with bootcamp. Please Help Me

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:59 PM PDT

    Hey

    I've had boot camp before without any problem but deleted it because i didn't need it a that time and it used up a lot of space for nothing.

    When i tried to set up bootcamp again, i had an partition error message that i managed to fixed but now get a new one about copying the windows files.

    Can we reset bootcamp or do something so i have a fresh installation or does anyone know what's the problem from ?

    (I've got a real windows 10 activated from my school so it's not an iso problem)

    Thanks a lot for your help & have a great day

    Will uninstalling + reinstalling iTunes delete my backups?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:36 PM PDT

    I've searched this question multiples times and it seems like the answer is no. My iTunes wasn't updating when I clicked "check for updates." I would click download, but it wouldn't work. I thought uninstalling and reinstaling might be the better choice. I think I've done this in the past and still had access to old backups. However, when reinstalling itunes, the status said "removing backups" or something like that. I panicked and cancelled the installation. What should I do? Have I already messed up? ):

    How to enable NFC for third-party apps on iPhone?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:36 PM PDT

    I have an iPhone X and I am trying to use NFC outside of Apple Pay.

    I was told there was a way to enable NFC for third-party applications (GoToTags as an example), but so far I haven't found it and the test NFC chip hasn't worked with my iPhone, but works for Android.

    Is there a way to do this? There probably isn't an article on the internet that shows you how.

    Thanks!

    Why do I need dongles for my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? (Mini, 2010, High Sierra)

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 10:10 PM PDT

    I am currently using a 2010 Mini and have bought a generic Bluetooth mouse and keyboard - they work perfectly but both require the included USB dongles to be attached. Is there any way I can get the built in Bluetooth to recognise them? Bluetooth works for audio output so I know it's working.

    Thanks

    File moving around and disappearing??

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:23 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I have a gif on my desktop which is located in a folder. Once I opened my gif, I noticed that the scrolling bar started to move on its own. Then, when I was trying to close the tab nothing was happening. I was clicking the red button and trying to quit Preview, but cursor started to spin and lag. It started to glow and generated two of the same tabs that were more pixilated underneath so I force quit. When I reopened the folder, most of the files disappeared and some files from other folders were in it. I am really confused and scared, is this a virus? (Sorry if I sound really stupid) Please help!

    Thank you so much.

    Early 2011 13" MBP airport card problems

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:08 PM PDT

    I'm helping a buddy of mine troubleshoot his MBP problems, all related to wifi/airport card.

    Wifi suddenly stopped working a few weeks ago, he did some trouble shooting and found out that the airport card and fancy "ribbon" cable that it connects to the Mobo with often goes bad. At this point, only the Bluetooth was working.

    So he bought a replacement airport card, installed it, nothing.

    Then he decided to do a completely fresh install of high sierra. After that was done, it's detecting nothing. He has no option to add a wifi connection, only Bluetooth and all the other misc connections.

    IFIXIT sent him a new ribbon cable and a second airport card in case the first one was a dud. Still nothing. Same thing, he can't add a wifi connection.

    Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be super appreciated!

    Can not download apps from AppStore on either my Mac or iPhone?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 09:37 PM PDT

    When I go to download an app, a free one, for example, I get this message:

    "There is a billing problem with a previous purchase. Click billing info and sign in to view billing information."

    So, I click billing info on the pop-up message.

    It then takes me to "edit payment information", and it doesn't matter if I add my card, or just leave it blank because I don't want to use my card, because when I click done, it takes me back to the page of the app I wanted download and the cycle repeats.

    TL;DR - Everytime I try to download an app from the appstore it tells me I have a billing problem with a previous purchase and tells me to update my billing info, I do, and nothing happens.

    Things I have tried.

    1. Look through my purchase history to see if I can find this "billing issue with a previous purchase", I can't find anything.

    2. Open my credit card in all regions/delete it and add it again/plenty other things to do with my card which shouldn't really matter, because I don't want to use a card on the AppStore anyways.

    3. Although it's a non-solution, I've tried using a different Apple ID just to get the app I want, even this does not work as it swears to me the password for the secondary account is wrong, even if I reset it literally two minutes ago.

    Please, any help would be much appreciated.

    Need help with Formula for Numbers

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 02:33 PM PDT

    Using Mac, Numbers version 4.3.1

    I have set up a mathematical spreadsheet. I have a final column for money accrued. It's set up right now as a product of the previous two cells. I would like to be able to leave the cell blank if there were no hours on the particular classification. If I do leave it blank, it does the product which gives me an amount instead of zero.

    Screenshots will explain better than I can https://imgur.com/a/tNz3cSF

    I know it's confusing and nitpicky, but I would like to be able to leave the second to last column blank and still get the final amount as 0.

    Update iPhone 7+ won’t charge

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 04:44 PM PDT

    I have an iPhone 7+ that out of no where stopped charging. By the time I realized it, it was down to 8%. Once the battery drained, it would show me the battery symbol and cord image instructing me to plug it in. When I would do that, the cord image would go away and show the dead battery symbol, so I'm fairly certain it's not the port.

    Im not sure what iOS I was on when it died and it's been very well taken care of. Any ideas or thoughts? Im debating on replacing the battery to see if that might do the trick.

    Edit- I only use Apple chargers. No third party. I also took another apple charger, unused and from another 7+ I have and it still did the exact same thing.

    UPDATE- Bought and replaced the battery. Phone turned on with no issue but it's still not charging. If I completely turn it off and plug it in, it will turn on as if it recognizes that it's on the charger, but still won't charge. I'm wondering if it's a bad charger port. Have an appointment tomorrow for a diagnostic.

    Apple backup issue

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 08:07 PM PDT

    Hello, On my trip in Cancun, my phone screen got wet and stopped working. My phone's home button also got screwed up as well and eventually making failed attempts causing "iPhone is disabled. Please connect to iTunes " My phone is not connected to wifi anymore and I cannot retrieve my photos and videos from the cloud since it doesn't sync without wifi. When I try to connect to iTunes, it tells me to respond to a prompt on my iPhone to enable data access but it is impossible to do that since I am locked out of my phone. Is there anyway I can force my iPhone to back up to the cloud or a 3rd-party app I can force backup the iPhone and then restore it later.?

    Any app recommendations for filtering SMS spam?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 07:59 PM PDT

    Is getFilter legitimate? I need something other than the built in iOS spam filter because that's not picking up some very obvious spam messages. I also want to be able to create rules because I get about two texts per day from different phone numbers but they all contain a specific word I want to filter for.

    Repairing/replacing 2017 13" Macbook Pro aluminum body?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 04:11 PM PDT

    I had unfortunately dropped my 13" MBP onto the ground and the body is chipped in multiple areas and slightly bent with the bottom cover also bent. Does Apple offer any solutions to replacing the exterior body (including the aluminum behind the screen)? So far things still appear to be working properly - if the repair was possible, would it cause potential problems in the future?

    Group Chat is broken

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:55 PM PDT

    My brother did something to my phone and a group message is all messed up now. There's no option to send messages. It's just blank, although I can receive texts from people. Also if I go to the options tab with hide alerts, send location, and leave conversation, they're greyed out.

    After being stuck Account Recovery Purgatory - I gave up and tried to create a new iCloud account...

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 06:51 PM PDT

    Long chain of annoying events:

    iMac signed me out of my iCloud. Shortly thereafter it started incessantly requesting I log into my iCloud account. Every time I tried to log in, it said I used the wrong password despite being able to log in on my phone with the very same password. So I went to reset my password only for it to continue to tell me the password was wrong. My Mac was nearly impossible to use with the incessant pop up asking to log into iCloud. But that's beside the point... At some point I was booted from my iCloud on my phone and it too started incessantly asking for my password. None of the last three passwords I had changed it to via my mac worked. It promptly locked my account. I couldn't fix the problem through the password reset - same issue. the password I'd set it to wouldn't work.

    Then I lost my iPhone. I ran into an insurance nightmare through T-Mobile (entirely different issue) and had to wait nearly a month for my new phone. I let the issue go as there seemed to be literally nothing I could do about it without my iPhone. Once I tried to set it up, I was informed my account was blocked and was sent into account recovery. I entered my phone number, verification code, credit card number birthday... then I was placed on a 24 hour wait period.

    After the 24 hour wait period nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. I received no email. No text. No phone call. When I go to check my account recovery status I get an error asking me to "try again later."

    Called support and they told me that account recovery's wait period isn't the only wait period. That there's another wait period beyond the initial account recovery wait period that I'll be unable to track online. She said it could be another few days, or weeks up over a month.

    Exasperated, I said screw it. My entire business runs on my family-shared iPhones and iPads... so I figured I'd cut my losses and dish out a few hundred in getting new iCloud account and repurchasing every app my business uses to save myself the hassle of continued calls to support. Well now I can't get my phone - or any other phone under my family sharing - to verify any credit card I enter. Not one. Capital One. Nope. Business Checking. Nope. Other Business Checking. Nope. Personal Credit Card. Nope. Personal Debit Card. Nope. PayPal verification. Nope. It simply won't verify and tells me to contact support in red lettering.

    Is my phone and all the phones on my account now screwed? Support told me I'm nuts and shouldn't have this problem, family sharing or otherwise.

    Anyone else have this experience? Advice?

    Accessing resold ticket in wallet

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:30 PM PDT

    So I bought a ticket for an upcoming concert, and am a little worried about it. The seller forwarded me their confirmation email, and there was a pdf attachment that let me add the ticket to my wallet. Does anyone know if me being able to add the ticket to my wallet mean the seller has no access to it? I just don't want to be in a situation where we both have the same ticket available. Thanks!

    Macbook Pro w/ Touchbar won't Charge!

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 01:58 PM PDT

    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro w/ the touchbar and it stopped charging all of sudden today. I ruled out the possibility of my charger being at fault, as I tried charging the laptop with a friend's charger and nothing changed. I don't believe there were any indications of the battery failing on me, and I don't recall seeing any messages that the battery's status had gone bad.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, and the faster I can get this figured out the better, as exam season is right around the corner :( Thanks!

    iPhone 7 overheated and now won't turn.

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 05:14 PM PDT

    Last night I plugged in the phone to charge and everything was normal. This morning when I woke up, the phone was really hot so i immediately unplugged it and the phone seemed to be turned off at this point. I waited 30 minutes to let it cool down before turning it on. But when I went back to check, the phone was still really hot, if not hotter. It stayed hot for about an hour even though the phone was turned off. After it finally cooled down i tried rebooting it again but nothing happen. I've tried a hard reset but no response. I've also tried connecting to my computer to reset it but my computer won't identify that it is connected. I tried plugging it in the original charger to see if it would charge and start up again but nothing happen after an hour of charging it. The screen is still black and the phone won't turn on. Do any of you know what the problem might be? Is the battery dead? because the phone was really hot for a long period of time.

    iPhone 8 users, I need your help

    Posted: 30 Apr 2018 01:10 PM PDT

    So I'm having an issue with my brand new iPhone 8, running 11.3.1 and was wondering if anyone else has this issue:

    When I plug in my phone, the phone doesn't light up and I no longer get the notification "tone" that the phone is charging. The phone is not on silent, do not disturb, etc. HOWEVER, when I turn the phone off and back on, this problem goes away but only for a couple of hours (if I do it in the morning, usually by night the problem is back).

    I was told by apple support to reset all the settings (fixed the problem, but only temporarily like the restart) and if that didn't work to then completely restore the phone as a new phone and not from a backup (fixed the problem, but once again only temporarily). I was then told it was probably a hardware issue and to take it into a store and have them look at it to be replaced. The phone was replaced and now the issue is currently happening on the replacement phone as well. I've tried multiple cables, plugs (all of which are apple products) and different outlets in my house.

    So my question: If anyone has an iPhone 8 could you plug your phone in to charge and let me know if you get this screen light up/charge notification tone? If you don't get it, could you reboot the phone and try again and let me know the results? I'm trying to figure out if this is some software feature they included on all phones or if it's an actual problem with mine. Cheers!

    Edit: I should include that the phone does charge and holds a charge, that is not an issue.
