    How to recover deleted contact or iMessage conversation

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 06:59 PM PDT

    I need to know how to recover either a deleted contact or a deleted iMessage conversation. An acquaintance stole from me when I was drunk then deleted our iMessage conversation and his contact info. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    How to download High Sierra after a complete reboot/ revert back to Lion

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 01:13 PM PDT

    My late 2011 Macbook Pro was extremely slow and everything I tried didn't help, even erasing the disc and reinstalling High Sierra. So I ended up (somehow) reinstalling the whole laptop right back to the way that I first bought it, with Lion (10.7.5)

    I only just now realised that I can't just skip or gradually install the four or five OS tiers that have come between Lion and High Sierra, and have no idea how to update my OS away from Lion. I've tried logging into iCloud so that I could have a look at my app history on the App Store but when I try to log in it's asking me to enter a verification code after my password, which it has 'sent' to my current laptop's notifications, which I obviously can't see as I'm on said laptop with Lion.

    Can anybody help me figure out what the hell I should do now? I've been going in circles all day! Cheers :)

    iPad iOS 5.11 digital calendar

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 09:32 PM PDT

    So I have my old iPad and I want to use it for a digital wall calendar but I'm running into issues as I can't log into google calendar anymore and can't use the web version either.

    The iPad is already jailbroken but I'm not sure where to go from there as there doesn't seem to be very many calendar apps.

    And suggestions?

    Weird disconnect between Macbook iMessage and iPhone iMessage

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 05:35 PM PDT

    I posted this a week ago but haven't found a fix yet.

    I've got an iPhone 6s and a 2015 Macbook Pro. Somewhat recently, I've been noticing a problem where my iMessage push notifications on the Pro (which are turned on) don't show up, I just get a phone notification. Even when I've been texting on my laptop, the notifications just come up on my phone. So if I hear my phone vibrate while I'm on my laptop, I'll open the text on my laptop, but then my phone doesn't register that I've read it. Both devices are as updated as possible as far as I know. I recently updated everything and rebooted by computer, and it went back to normal but now is doing the same thing. I'm not a tech-savvy person so maybe it's an easy fix, but I'm hoping someone can help.

    MacOS Install Cannot be opened

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 04:52 PM PDT

    I recently had a software issue with my MacBook Pro so I wiped the hard drive. When I tried to reinstall the os with internet recovery it said: "The file couldn't be opened because it is in an unexpected format. The file may be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."

    Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

    Photos on iOS without being renamed with GUID's.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 08:19 PM PDT

    Apple, claims to support privacy, but all my photos are renamed with globally unique identifiers, which I consider a privacy concern. I'm sure I'm just overlooking a setting, given Apple's stance. How do I get my images on iOS without GUID's?

    Kernel panic that does not stop

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 07:56 PM PDT

    Hello, your counsel is much appreaciated

    Macbook pro 15" Mid-2012 running High Sierra 10.13. Her name is Rosalie and she's like an middle aged volvo. I love her.

    Started having frequent kernel panics in the spring (still running 10.12 at that time), did not keep logs at taht time, as I thought "ok time to buy new". Had multiple occurences of RAM errors (three beeps on startup) multiple times a day. Did appropriate resets (cmd-optn-r-p) and it persisted to varying degrees.

    Ove the past months, I have:

    • Switched to 2 x 4 GB of RAM (mid july)
    • Switched to a 500 GB SSD (mid august)
    • Had my helpful local computer repairmen run diagnostics on physical equipment (all ok? 30 aug).
    • Completely wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Mac OS (aug 30)

    Here is my latest crash report: https://gist.github.com/apixaparin/af1dedc5c1f440697e4d8371df7b6bf1(firefox?)

    And one from last week: https://gist.github.com/apixaparin/9f66fddcc958ca2392c7f6657ca90518

    They are less frequent then before, but they still happen and I need this computer (or another one i'll purchase) to do exams until december (school policy). I have not had a RAM error on startup yet since reinstalling the OS. She's still unpredictable and I'm wondering what we could learn from the code.

    If my motherboard is still good I'd like to keep this running as I do love it a lot...

    Brand new MBP crashed and won't turn on

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 05:26 PM PDT

    Was running civ and Netflix at the same time, game froze and then then the laptop crashed. Now it won't boot up again. Had about 50% power when it died. I can hear the sound effect when I plug in the charger but the computer is off

    Edit: After holding down the TouchID key for ~3 seconds the computer turned back on. Still not sure what caused the issue though.

    Time Machine back up gets 9-10 GB through before "stopping" for no apparent reason

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 04:14 AM PDT

    I'm using High Sierra 13.6. So I have a Toshiba 1TB USB that worked perfectly until I decided to delete old backups and try using timemachine again which started the aforementioned problem. I reformatted the disk and tried again which had the same issue.

    Any advice is welcome.

    My 2018 MBP gets very hot when I use a multi-port adapter. Will this harm my laptop?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 04:14 PM PDT

    The adapter is a Minx brand, and my charger has to go into the adapter first, so that my laptop will charge while I use the SD adapter, or the HDMI, or USB.

    The adapter gets really hot no matter if I'm using one port or a few of them.

    I just want to know how bad this is for my laptop in general seeing that I just got the machine and want to take care of my first MacBook.

    Partition help. Brand new MacBook Pro.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 02:38 PM PDT

    Hi All, I'm hoping to get some help with a weird bug I got by partitioning my HD and installing Windows. I picked up a new MacBook Pro yesterday after a lot of research. There is a program that only works on windows so I had to partition the HD. I researched and heard good things about Boot Camp. So I was not too worried about any issues. Anyways, long story short the partition and windows install went fairly smooth. It did bomb out on my first attempt but worked on the second. My problem is whenever I reboot to macOS from windows, the keyboard and trackpad stop working completely. So I'm unable to login into macOS. Also the MacBook gets really hot. It eventually shuts itself off even. So far I have tried un-partitioning and doing a restore of MacOS back to factory settings. Then partitioning again and reinstalling windows. But that did not fix the issue. The only way around it is doing a full shut down and booting back up. That seems to allow for things to boot properly so the keyboard and trackpad works. Any ideas? I see the irony in this given it's caused by having to do a partition to run Microsoft.

    Edit: I took it back to the Apple store. They were unable to fix it. They told me some other guy came in after me while I was there who had the same issue. They were pretty certain it was a software, not a hardware issue. But I asked for an exchange anyways. I took it home and reinstalled windows. Lo and behold it worked. Restarted into macOS and was able to use the trackpad/keyboard. Hopefully it stays that way.

    Can you explain iOS “app sandbox” and malware?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 06:07 AM PDT

    https://mashable.com/2016/08/26/iphone-malware-platform-secure/
    i've heard malware can't get info from apps on iOS because each app is sandboxed. But this article says :

    "The spyware capabilities include accessing messages, calls, emails, logs, and more from apps including Gmail, Facebook, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, FaceTime, Calendar, Line, Mail.Ru, WeChat, SS, Tango, and others. "

    Doesn't sound "sanboxed" to me. Can someone explain?

    What free ad-blocker should I be using?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 11:16 AM PDT

    For years I had Ad Block (or Maybe Ad Block Plus) and one day it asked to update, requiring me to download a different version entirely. And now it sucks. It blocks legitimate content, requiring me to pause it all the time, and the pause takes a while with a spinning wheel in the little extension app at the top of Safari.

    I want something better. Smart and set-it-forget-it that is going to make those YouTube pre-roll ads stop and erase the ad content on web pages for Safari on a MacBook.

    Thanks in advance!

    MacBook - New YouTube video tab in Safari always refresh when opened

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 10:36 AM PDT

    Hello, I have this strange problem. MacBook Air, High Sierra, using Safari browser.

    When I open Youtube video in new tab, and then select that tab, then video starts autoplay. But after 1-3 seconds webpage refreshes (only once) and so does video playback refreshes. It is very annoying.

    You can clearly see it in action here (recorded screen capture): https://youtu.be/KnkvcGHIrkw

    If you have any tips what to set or change (other than the Safari browser) I would be very grateful!

    What is “other storage” and why does it take up more than 10gb on my iPhone? (Pic enclosed)

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 10:21 AM PDT

    I'm using a 64gb iPhone 8. Here's a photo for reference: https://i.imgur.com/QLAjSBY.jpg

    It sure does seem like more space than it should take up. Maybe more than 10gb even...

    Many duplicate contacts on iPhone.

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 10:20 AM PDT

    I have literally 27 duplicate contact entries for my wife and father in my contacts list on my iPhone. iCloud and my MacBook are fine. I'm not sure how my phone got so messed up. A couple of others have 2-3 dupes. Aside from manually deleting the extra entries or getting a cleaner app to do it, is there any way to sync my phone to my iCloud contact list? The settings on my phone aren't getting it done. I'm on an iPhone 7 running 11.4.1.

    New Macbook Pro - Wondering if I should buy a screen protector or not?

    Posted: 02 Sep 2018 10:13 AM PDT

    I've just purchased a 13 inch touch bar macbook and really want to treat this new computer gently. I will definitely buy a keyboard cover, but I feel like a screen protector would be a wise choice for me because I can be a little careless at times.

    If I should get a screen protector — should it be tempered glass or the plastic film cover? I really don't want to have little bubbles on my screen and I don't want to reduce the quality of the display.

    Does anyone have any recommendations? Or should I just get a thin microfiber cloth to lay between the keys and the screen when I close the computer.
