Homepod: Can't play my recently added music, because I'm german... Posted: 29 Jun 2018 11:14 AM PDT So the problem is, when I tell my homepod to play my recently added music in german (Spiel meine "zuletzt hinzugefügte Musik"), Siri is searching for a playlist named "recently added" -> can't find it, because it is named in german -> doesn't play anything. Is there a way to go around this? I guess appled fucked it up there, to search for the translated playlist, but I also cannot rename my recently added playlist into something else...

Apple Pay Cash for Craigslist Sale Posted: 29 Jun 2018 02:13 PM PDT Hey guys, Tried doing some google search on topics like this and didn't get much. I searched for charge backs and most of what I found is an article by apple that says to ask the person to send the money back. And if other issues occur to contact a specific help desk. I use Apple Pay all the time. So my question is: if I take Apple Pay cash for a sale, can a charge back occur? I have a feeling it can't because of authentication for the payment..

Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:32 PM PDT I bought an iPad Pro 10.5 and Apple Pencil earlier this week and received them today. The problem is that the pencil doesn't seem to be working properly. It syncs fine and is charged, it shows it as connected in the bluetooth settings, but it doesn't do anything. I can't use it as a stylus, write or draw or anything. I've already done all the troubleshooting steps and even talked to Apple Care. I'm pretty sure it's just a faulty product, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone has had this problem and managed to fix it. [link] [comments] |
Turned off ICloud Music Library on IPhone, turned back on music does not return. Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:13 PM PDT I turned off my ICloud Music Library on my IPhone because my playlists were not syncing (also need a fix for that), and when I turned it back on my playlists didn't come back. I know there's a fix but I can't find it. Any help? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Windows Keyboard with Mac, I can't press Scroll lock? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 05:12 PM PDT I have a gaming keyboard that uses Scroll Lock to enable the backlight on the keyboard, but it doesn't work on mac. Is there a work around for this? thanks [link] [comments] |
Posted: 29 Jun 2018 08:27 PM PDT So I currently have a iPhone 7 plus. I was going through my reminders and was deleting random things and I stumbled across these two strange reminders... One says, "!!! On compressed file scan rootkit nids heuristic tracking cookies antispy", and the other says, "!!! Turn of antivirus. Sonar nap sonar advance remove risks sonar block". What do these mean? I was restoring my iphone on a custom built gaming PC a while back that has NORTON 360 if that helps at all.... I am pretty smart when it comes to technology and I know that rootkit is a type of malware, but I do not know how these got on my phone or what the rest means.... PLEASE HELP [link] [comments] |
Dead pixels on 2017 MBP w/ Touch Bar – am I being too nitpicky? (Photos Inside) Posted: 29 Jun 2018 04:25 PM PDT A few photos trying to show the scale: https://imgur.com/a/VKZCce1 I have two (what I assume are) dead pixels on my rMBP screen that are driving me ABSOLUTELY NUTS but wanted some honest opinions here on whether I'm being anal or not.... I assume that for a dead "pixel" to be visible on a retina screen, it needs to be technically more than one pixel grouped together and therefore a legitimate problem, correct? I've briefly skimmed some old threads and seen references to "stuck" pixels, but these have been there quite a while. Will the genius bar laugh/shrug me out of the store? Or can I walk in there with my AppleCare+ and get some compassion (and a new screen)? Thanks friends! [link] [comments] |
Default Alerts not applied in Calendar Posted: 29 Jun 2018 01:49 PM PDT I'm using the default MacOS calendar app. I'm on 10.13.5. I have set the default reminder for "On My Mac" calendars to be 2 hours before event. However, when I create a new event on the calendar, the default alert is not applied (AKA, no reminder will appear). If it's important, I usually create events by clicking on the calendar, rather than by using the "+" sign. Can anyone help? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
2012 MBA screen gets garbled, freezes then reboots Posted: 29 Jun 2018 01:47 PM PDT
Randomly, the screen gets garbled and freezes and restarts after 15-20 seconds. I thought it was a problem with an external monitor but now it's happened once while just on the laptop display. It doesn't seems to be driven by any specific app or CPU usage or temperature or RAM usage. There is no beeping that occurs and no crash report after restart. No evidence in console.

Error code 36 transferring folder to LaCie drive midway through... Posted: 29 Jun 2018 07:04 PM PDT Ok, so I'm trying to transfer the "Data" ?folder? to the LaCie drive. I do this by right clicking on "Data" clicking 'Copy "Data"' and then pasting into LaCie. This works fine, I've got like 997 GB to transfer, but it gets to like 400-something GB and then stops the process with Error code 36. I looked this up, and a lot of information says to run "dot_clean" on it, so I run "dot_clean /Volumes/Data" and it happens quite quick. It might be important to point out that "Data" is the mounting image for a bunch of backups off an old AirPort Time Capsule that I am connecting via USB directly to the removed HDD. Really frustrating to wait like 5 hours to only get half way, then see that it failed because some file wasn't compatible or something... Not sure what's happening here. Any suggestions?

Iphone 6S Plus garbage battery help Posted: 29 Jun 2018 06:17 PM PDT I have an IPhone 6S Plus and the battery has been absolutely trash for the last year. On the health beta it shows 80% of the original capacity and it claims to support peak performance. Although, I cannot use this phone without low power mode and even with that barely. Without low power mode, the battery drains constantly, even without active use. If i happen to stream music on regular mode in my car, the thing will go from 100 to 80 in like 2 mins and so on. On low power mode, the phone is somewhat useable. Anyway, is the health beta accurate? I don't feel like it is and I'm considering buying a new phone, although this is an awkward time in the year to do that. [link] [comments] |
Repeated Messages: Update Apple ID Settings & Sign Into iTunes Store Posted: 29 Jun 2018 12:12 PM PDT Hello! I have two problems and it seems like they are related, but maybe not. I am hoping someone has had a similar experience and found a solution! iPhone Specs:
Problems: 1) At least once (sometimes multiple times) a day I get a Settings notification to "Update Apple ID Settings: Some account services require you to sign in again.". I tap continue, enter my Apple ID Password and then the screen freezes. 2) At random times during the day when I open an app I am asked to sign into the iTunes Store again before I can proceed. I haven't noticed a pattern for when/why this happens, but it's frequent (and of course always at the moment I'm in a rush to get information lol). Troubleshooting I have tried:
These daily sign in requests are driving me absolutely insane and have been going on for months! Any ideas would be so appreciated. :( Thank you for reading! [link] [comments] |
How to identify "photo stream" photos in mac photos app? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 01:39 PM PDT So I recently discovered, much to my chagrin, that photo stream has been transferring all pictures and screenshots from my phone into my mac photos library, taking up a ton of storage space. I'd much rather keep the libraries separate since a lot of the stuff on my phone is screenshots and memes and whatnot. I disabled photo stream on both my mac and iphone, but the pictures still remain on my mac taking up space. How I can I identify which ones in the photo app are from photo stream? I would just mass delete all of them, but I don't want to miss something and delete a picture that was only present on my mac... [link] [comments] |
Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:28 AM PDT I mean all im trying to do is something very very simple. yet, no one knows the answer. All im trying to do is transfer all my photos stored on iCloud to my mac and iPhone. Something like this should be simple, but alas it is not. Im not even sure if something like this is even possible. And please do not suggest selecting each photo manually because of have thousands of photos. And to that one person that can find a wholesome solution, I will crown you a tech god. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 29 Jun 2018 04:43 PM PDT Whenever I try to enter the App Store it says cannot connect. I have had this problem for a couple weeks now. I have tired many of the common solutions found on the internet. Is there any way to fix this? [link] [comments] |
How can I make sure a server is always connected? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 10:34 AM PDT I have a NAS with all of my media files. I have my Mac mini set to connect to them on boot, but sometimes the NAS reboots and then the volumes I'm connected to disconnect. Is there a way to make sure OSX always automatically searches for these volumes and connects to them if they're available? [link] [comments] |
AppleTV for movies and music: switching receiver between surround & stereo Posted: 29 Jun 2018 12:19 PM PDT I'm trying to adopt the AppleTV 4K as both audio and video playback device, but it requires manually switching the receiver between "surround decode" and "straight" modes to actually sound right for music. Is there a better way? Receiver is Yamaha RX-A750. [link] [comments] |
Camera isn’t sharpe anymore on long distances (iphone6) Posted: 29 Jun 2018 03:39 PM PDT Hey there Since 2 days my camera is very very unclear on distances more than 10cm.

External Drive unmounted and will not mount. Is there a way to recover the data? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 03:12 PM PDT I have an external drive used for storage. It suddenly stopped working. It shows up as Not Mounted. I have used the disk utility to try repairing and remounting. No luck. Anything I can do to recover the data? Most of it was backed up to a cloud drive but my iTunes was on the drive and several albums and videos will be lost if I can't get this back. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 29 Jun 2018 02:38 PM PDT My dad doesn't use a Virus checker (doesnt disable Java either and isn't running the latest OSX) and just appears to have fallen for the Apple Security malware (looked and sounded something like this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7861498) tried to save him over the phone - did a force quit, he restarted Safari, it now had a timer, he got in a panic and clicked scan now. I got him to switch it off and Pull the internet cable out of the back and switch off which may have partly saved him. I am expecting given the time taken it has downloaded whatever payload it may have been hiding. Have a screenshot but not sure how to post it from my phone - looked like the one in the thread. Any idea what it is and how to remove it? I live a couple of miles away so will go and try and help them tomorrow - just want to have an idea of what I am dealing with. [link] [comments] |
Is it normal for the system to take up ~45-55gb of storage? (I've cleared my snapshots already.) Posted: 29 Jun 2018 10:00 AM PDT The title, basically. I have a MBA with a 128gb hard drive. I know that's not huge these days (it's an early 2014 model), but is it really normal for the OS to be taking up quite that much space? I've googled a bit, and I did make sure to clear my snapshots. I don't have them turned on in the first place, because I have two separate 500gb external hard drives with time machine back ups that I update at least once a week. I also tried re-indexing my hard drive with Spotlight. As far as I understand it that doesn't free up space, but it makes the storage use estimates more accurate. It still shows 45-55gb being used for the system. It changes sometimes when I recheck, but it seems to stay within that range. Am I being unrealistic in my expectations, or is there any way to lower the amount of storage used for the system? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
MacBook Air shutting down when left idle? Posted: 29 Jun 2018 09:54 AM PDT I'm having an issue with my MBA where if I close the lid and leave the room for a while it will have shut down by the time I return. This happens every time I leave it overnight and often if it's left for 2+ hours. When I open the lid and hit space the screen flashes for a second, goes black, plays the startup sound, flashes and plays the sound again, then boots as if starting from shut down. When I log in there is no error message. Any ideas for what might be causing this? This is a 2014 MBA with a recently upgraded hard drive running OSX 10.13.5. [link] [comments] |
