    What is the definition of a one-Mac license? Can I only install it on one particular computer (locked to motherboard)? I currently have a 13" MBP but will probably upgrade to a 15" in the future. Later, will I be able to uninstall it from my 13" and install it on the 15"?

    Can you not do the snapshots on FaceTime anymore?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 08:07 AM PDT

    Before iOS 12 there was a button on the left side of the screen to take a quick Live Photo while FaceTiming. Is this no longer an option?

    Bluetooth audio changes quality

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 08:56 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I have an iPhone 8 plus running iOS 12, and a 2018 Dodge Ram.

    Ever since i updated to iOS 12, the bluetooth audio quality has been changing as my music plays. It sounds like when you change the quality of a youtube video from 240p to 1080p. It only happens with my truck, and over aux and lightning wire to usb, it's fine.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Iphone XS slow wireless connectivity

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 04:02 PM PDT

    I recently upgraded to the XS and after a few hours I noticed that videos stop loading as fast as on the old phone. I did a little bit of troubleshooting and I noticed that the speedtest on my phone doesn't show more than 12Mbps down when the old phone was showing up to 120Mpbs down. I followed the steps below to eliminate the issue:

    1. Made sure it's connecting to the 5Ghz network.
    2. Rebooted the network, rebooted the phone.
    3. Restored the phone to factory settings
    4. Tried different networks (my neighbours)
    5. Restored my old iphone 7 to confirm that its working faster. It did.

    Now I'm scheduled to bring it to the apple store for hardware check up. I think there is something wrong with the phone but I wanted to ask if anyone has the same issue.

    Any idea why boxes in my notes or iTunes apps show up as black when connected to a external monitor?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:14 PM PDT

    https://i.imgur.com/KwLfeRm.jpg

    That's what it looks like when I connect my MacBook Air to a external monitor in clamshell mode.

    When disconnected the problem goes away (have to quit and re open the app)

    Not sure what's causing it. It worked fine with the monitor before but now it's acting up - nothing changed to my knowledge. Any ideas?

    I'm pretty minimalist in installed stuff and haven't changed anything.

    I went ahead and formatted my Mac (without restoring anything that wasn't on iCloud) and the problem persists. Head scratcher.

    Is there a way to have my apps preconfigured to open in specific areas of my monitor

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:04 PM PDT

    For example, I want my terminal to always show up in my left monitor bottom left, chrome in top left and top right, then outlook and chat in bottom right and code etc. I realize i can use the split screen but thats only for two apps. What if i want to split among three, big left and small two right.

    iPhone 6s Activation Error

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 06:36 PM PDT

    My sister just got a new phone so I'm erasing her phone for my mom to use.

    iPhone 6s, Carrier Unlocked, we used to travel before and we can use tourist's SIM.

    I have already checked iCloud and has already removed the iPhone on her account. What's weird however is that the iPhone on iCloud is always offline.

    Activation Error - Activation could not be completed. Please restore the phone and install the latest version of iOS. Meanwhile Connecting it to iTunes gives me an error occured: We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer support.

    I have checked the internet and it's working fine.

    I don't know what to do, i'm overseas so going to an Apple store is out of option. Thanks

    iPhone 6 disabled, for no reason.

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:43 PM PDT

    So basically, last night I restarted my iphone and turned it back on, and it disabled itself for an hour. I didn't think much of it, so I didn't even think about it today. About 2 hours ago, I restarted my phone again because it was being extremely slow and glitchy, and now its permanently disabled saying "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes". It's disabled and it had nothing to do with me entering in my password incorrectly.

    Cannot tab backwards in Word 11

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:33 PM PDT

    I am pretty sure I used to be able to do this, and it works in other apps - in fact it even works in Word 2011 itself, just not within documents.

    What I'm talking about is pressing Shift+ Tab to tab "backwards." In a menu this usually means jumping from one field to the previous. For example, if I do it right now I'll instantly be in the "title" field instead of the "text" field on Reddit.

    I want to be able to do it in a document itself. Pressing Shift + Tab is supposed to tab backwards, erasing the indentation. This can also be achieved by hitting Delete, however I specifically want it for a custom multi-level list system I spent a whole day creating at my work computer (a PC that works fine). In fact, as I'm testing some things as I write this I find that tabs don't work in in multi-level lists at all.

    What i mean is, if I have a list outline that looks like this:

    1

    2

    a

    i

    I should be able to be on the 2 line and hit tab to turn it into a letter, a, or Shift + Tab to turn the a into a 3. As of right now, Tab and Shift + Tab don't do a thing in multi-level lists, rending the custom list I created useless.

    External drive disconnects and reconnects while computer is asleep

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:25 PM PDT

    I have a LaCie 2TB thunderbolt drive that I keep plugged in to my Macbook Pro 24/7. When I'm using the computer, I never have any connectivity issues. However, when I close my Macbook and leave it for a while, I come back to this— the drive has disconnected and reconnected a bunch of times on it's own without being touched.

    Either there is a little gnome unplugging my drive when I walk away, or there is some bug between the Macbook and the drive while in sleep mode.

    Any ideas on what this might be? So frustrating!

    Wacom Bamboo "enable touch" option keeps disabling itself

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 05:08 PM PDT

    I'm trying to set up a Wacom Bamboo as a trackpad for my mac since getting an actual trackpad larger than 3 inches is pretty expensive.

    Anyways, once I installed it, it worked perfectly for about 20 seconds before it stopped working. When I looked at the settings console, the enable touch option disabled itself, and wouldn't re-enable. If you restore settings from a file or delete/reinstall the driver through the Wacom utillity, it works again briefly before it stops working again. Any suggestions which do not involve downgrading or getting a new trackpad? I'm using a 2013 MBP on 10.14 and I'm trying to get a Wacom Bamboo to work.

    Can you help me figure out what happened to my mom’s photo library?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 04:17 PM PDT

    I only have the info I can gather here to work with because she is helpless with this stuff. She went and bought an XS yesterday, and the lady at the ATT store backed her stuff up to the cloud . Her previous phone was a 6S. Looking at it now, I see 7,385 pictures and videos in the canera roll and they are all fine. Under photos, "my photo stream" is selected.

    On her new XS, I see 7,393 in the camera roll (she must have taken a few new ones), but way more than half of them are just blank squares that don't show up when I click them. My photo stream is also selected on this one, but "iCloud photos" is not. That option isn't even on her old phone.

    Right now I am importing all the photos from her old phone to iPhoto on her Macbook so they are safe, but what is with the blank photos on the new phone? I want to click iCloud Photos on it but I'm worried something could go wrong.

    Is it possible to back up Notes with com.apple.Notes or group.com.apple.notes?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:17 AM PDT

    There was a weird OS glitch that was preventing me from signing in on any apple OS service ( I could sign in on the web, but in app got message "action could not be completed at this time"). I had a lot of notes that couldn't be saved to the cloud because of this bug. So before reinstalling the OS, I made backup copies of the com.apple.notes and group.com.apple.notes.

    I tried just dropping them in an overriding the existing ones, but it did nothing. Is there any way to extract out my notes or import them back in with those two folders of data?

    DHCP-reserved IPs: thought my somewhat-cheapo Netgear router was at fault and so bought a somewhat-higher-end Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X. Family iPhones still acquire random IPs. Any ideas of what's going on here?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 10:02 AM PDT

    Four iPhones in the family: two 7s, two XSs, all running the latest iOS. I've checked, double-checked, triple-checked the phones' MAC addresses to make sure that they're correct and have similarly triple-checked to make sure that the DHCP reservations on the router are correct.

    I chose high-numbered IPs thinking that that might prevent them getting bumped:

    192.168.1.196

    192.168.1.197

    192.168.1.198

    192.168.1.199

    Nothing else reserved or active in that range.

    I'm about to suspect that the problem is with the phones themselves... but that makes no sense.

    Panicking here! Is there any application that lets you view your full clipboard history?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 03:57 PM PDT

    I was moving something I'd written from one online document to the other but doing so in two parts. I got distracted and copied the same half overwriting the second half. Is there any way to rectify this and get back the text I lost or is it gone forever?

    Please help, I really don't want to rewrite all 4000 words. I'm seriously in a blind panic here.

    I'm using an iPad Pro with the latest iOS.

    Anyway to get keyboard replace on the same day?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 03:40 PM PDT

    I need my laptop for work and even though I have AppleCare they claim they need from 1-2 days to replace my keyboard. Should I shut down my business temporarily while I'm waiting for them to fix it or should I get another one from the Apple Store and return it when mine is fixed? I think a big portion of their customers use it for business. Is there a faster service available from Apple that I don't know of?

    Thank you

    Mac Mini Dual SSD Upgrade questions (Software/Mac OS)

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 03:39 PM PDT

    I have a Late 2012 base Mac Mini with the 500 Gig HDD. I have two 480 GB SSDs that I want to swap in. I purchased the iFixit Dual Drive kit and am going to follow these instruction (iFixit.com) to replace the original HDD with one SSD and put the second SSD in the other bay. I have some experience fixing phones and partially putting together few PCs, so I feel ok about doing this. Plus, the instructions seem super well written. So far so good.

    I have problems on the software side - I want to put the drives in RAID 0 for better performance. Preferably, I would like to have a completely clean install of Mac OS on the new drives. I will copy the files from the current internal HDD in my mini to an external HDD. After that I would probably but in the two new drives and want to install MacOS.

    I have looked for instructions/tutorials online but to no avail. Quite a few are available for people just adding another drive, but with my plan, I won't be able to clone/just use the original HDD. How can I go about enabling RAID 0 and installing a fresh version of Mac OS? Do I strip the Mini, install the new SSDs, RAID them, use a bootable drive? Or will I need to install the OS using the USB drive and then RAID them?

    When charging, do iPhones use power directly from the source, does all power route through the battery no matter what or both?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 08:07 AM PDT

    What I'm trying to get at is if I'm playing a very demanding game while plugged in for example, would it be better for my battery since maybe the phone itself could bypass the battery and draw power directly from the source instead of the battery (while also charging of course)? Or does all power route through the battery no matter what?

    I had issues with making my previous iPhone battery last and I'm trying to not make the same mistakes again with my new XS.

    Thank you in advance!

    Time Machine not functioning at all in Mojave

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 07:57 AM PDT

    I opened time machine to see when my last successful backup was, because I just added a large amount of files to my machine. I opened time machine and it froze instantly. I had to use the force quit command to get my machine to function again.

    Here are my questions: what happened? Is this still a good method of backup, or should I find a different way? What's the best way to use time machine? I just plug in a drive when I sit down at my desk, and do it that way. Would it be advantageous of me to switch to a NASD?

    Is there a macOS app that monitor/eq microphone input live?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 11:33 AM PDT

    I know Audacity can EQ recorded audio, but I don't think it can do it live. I also know Logic has some live EQ effects, but I would really prefer something with a smaller finger print.

    iPhone X screen protectors

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 03:01 PM PDT

    I have a ton of micro scratches on my screen. I know it's just the coating that is affected, but it is driving me crazy! I have tried multiple screen protectors, using all of them in the pack at a time to get them perfect. Even with the guides that come with the protectors, when I put it on, there is always a pink and green glare or distortion along the edge of the protector. I'd rather not spend more money on protectors, but the scratches are getting bad. Or does anyone have suggestions to buff the scratches out???

    The Image Capture app isn't showing my photos since I updated to Mac Mojave

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 02:39 PM PDT

    I'm trying to move photos from a OnePlus 5T to my Mac using the Image Capture mac app. Before Mojave, it would show thumnails of the pictures, and I could just drag them to my Mac. Now after switching to Mojave, it just shows "DCIM" and "Pictures" but doesn't let me import or do anything with these items.

    https://i.imgur.com/d0C4mVV.png

    Yes, I know I can copy over photos using the Android File Transfer app, but that app isn't as simple as the Image Capture app, and doesn't show thumbnails of the photos before transferring.

    Any suggestions?

    Airpods disconnect after 1 minute on PC

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 09:47 AM PDT

    Hi there.

    So my Airpods consistently just started disconnecting from my PC after a minute. Every single time. I've tried the Reset by holding sync button for 15 seconds, forgetting and reconnecting device. This only happens on PCs and not on my iPhone X.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Boot screen graphical issues after upgrade to Mojave

    Posted: 05 Oct 2018 01:14 PM PDT

    Hi, after upgrading to macOS Mojave; I have been seeing some graphical issues during boot with my MacBook Pro. The Apple logo shows up, and starts booting. Then a different screen or "glitch" will occur for a second, and it will go back to the Apple logo and continue booting as normal. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried resetting my PRAM and and SMC to no avail.
