    looking for current USB-C dock recommendation

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 03:00 PM PST

    I have a 2018 Macbook Air, so two USB-C ports.

    I'm looking for a dock with at least one 3.0 or higher USB-A port, at least one display output capable of 4K@60Hz, and preferably a USB-C PD so I can plug the power adapter into it and use just one cable.

    I'm aware of the thunderbolt docks with all of the above and more but I'm looking to keep the cost under $100.

    All of the cheaper multi-port connectors that I've found seen to be limited to 4K@30Hz. I'm thinking the next best option will be an adapter with USB-A + USB-C power delivery and a separate USB-C -> DP cable.

    Any recommendations?

    Weird issue: a random audio clip from an anime plays whenever I adjust my headphones and sometimes when I hit different keys on my keyboard.

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 08:56 PM PST

    The device is a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

    OS is High Sierra version 10.13.3

    It isn't coming from iTunes because it plays even when I force quit the application. There are no applications open that would be playing the audio. I don't have any tabs open that I've forgotten about. The audio is triggered inconsistently just by typing. It has played twice since I started writing this. The audio is triggered consistently by jiggling my headphones in the audio jack of my computer. There are no videos currently on my computer that contain spoken Japanese, and I really doubt that it's coming from the Devil Man Crybaby soundtrack, the only audio files that would potentially contain Japanese.

    Here's a video I took of a portion of my desktop that recorded the audio while I was triggering the issue.

    Help? It isn't breaking my computer but it's super annoying.

    Is there any way to switch back to the U.S. App store without having to lose all my funds?

    IPHONE XS Thumb Tap Not Working In Safari

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 06:39 PM PST

    So there's several websites that I'll go to where the touch screen or tapping your thumb won't work unless I reload it. For example, YouTube almost never works the first time I go to it. I can scroll up or down, but if I click on another video or the comments to open up, Safari won't recognize that I'm tapping it. I'll have to reload the page and then I can click on a new video or open up the comments to read them.

    Anyone know the issue or fix here? Thanks.

    Family member just purchased a book on my Family Sharing plan without my consent?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 05:50 PM PST

    I am listed as the organizer my brother-in-law is listed as an adult who recently purchased a book with my credit card that's on file how was that possible, how can I stop that from happening in the future? It was only eight dollars and I'm not concerned about the price but I am concerned that there was no security or prompt allowing or declining the purchase so does he have access to my credit card at all times? I was not notified of the transaction until Apple sent me the receipt to my email.

    MacBook Pro 2017 Trackpad Problem

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 09:03 PM PST

    So I recently had a problem with some keys getting stuck and apple fixed it by replacing the top case which I think also includes the trackpad.

    After I got the computer back, I started noticing that the trackpad is sometimes being unresponsive around the edges.

    Sometimes, when I press I get no feedback and I don't feel the regular click of the trackpad. As I keep clicking it goes back to normal. It's not like this issue is ruining my work but it certainly shouldn't be happening and it's irritating.

    This only happens to the right and left edges of the trackpad. It doesn't happen on the top and bottom.

    Is anyone having similar experiences?

    iPhone XR iCloud Photos Not In Chronological Order

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 02:28 PM PST

    I just upgraded my iPhone 7 plus to an iPhone XR. I thought all my photos had been backed up but it only downloaded a portion of them to my new phone when I restored it this morning from the backup I did yesterday. I plugged my 7 into my MacBook Air, it automatically started uploading them to iCloud and the photos started coming through on my XR. The issue is that they are not in chronological order in the "All Photos" album. They are in a random order, making it difficult to find anything I need.

    When I click the Photos Tab they are in chronological order, but this doesn't really help when I try to upload to Twitter for example because it only lets me select from the All Photos album which is out of order. How do I get all of my photos onto my XR in chronological order? I have about 10k photos. They are in order on my MacBook Air, iPhone 7 and in the iCloud.com photos section but not on my XR. Thanks in advance!

    iPad Air randomly restarts to lock screen

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 12:13 PM PST

    So I have a 2 year old iPad Air which I use mainly for YouTube/netflix. Within the last 6 months it started to become slower and more recently has been randomly restarting. Now I'm not talking Apple logo restart or anything, what happens is that I'm using an app when it's suddenly extremely slow and parts of the screen are unresponsive, 5 seconds after that all the buttons (home button, power, etc) stop working, then the screen goes black with a spinning loading thing in the middle for a few seconds, and I'm shown the "enter passcode or Touch ID" screen. It is important to note that I can use Touch ID unlike a restart, and that all the apps are forcibly shutdown so I have to reopen them, even the background task for an app which shows up when u double click is gone, unlike a restart which keeps it. I've tried going to a service to check it but where I live there are no Apple stores in the country and the service people aren't exactly professionals, so my problem was kinda ignored. I've tried deleting safari cache but that only reduces the rate of restarts. The restarts used to happen once or twice a day, but now it's more like 4-6. I've done a geek bench result before and the iPad is a little slower but not anything significant. The battery is the same and lasts the same time. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

    kernal_task is using 24 gb and maxing out my storage. Macbook Pro 2012 i7 16gb 1tb sata SSD

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 07:27 PM PST

    So kernal_task is maxing out my storage. I have a theory that it could be iDrive Sync but i have that set to sync the other internal drive that I replaced the CD drive with. I've previously had to replace the internal hard drive cable 3 times. Otherwise, no idea what's going on. Before I restarted my laptop it said 200gb used by kernal_task.

    Brightness and Volume icons grayed out on MacBook Pro

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 07:01 PM PST

    Any idea as to why this is? I haven't plugged in anything besides my charger. Haven't plugged in headphones. They work, I can go up and down, they're just grayed out.

    How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    How to see the order of shuffled music on iTunes?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 06:44 PM PST

    I remember in the earlier days of iTunes that when you wanted to shuffle your music, you could click on the upper bar and get the exact order of the randomized tracks (on PC).

    It was really nice, because if I saw that I didn't want to listen to several songs in the first 10 random tracks, I could just reshuffle and see what music I would get.

    Unfortunately, I've been looking for this feature for some time now, but I'm unable to find it.

    So I wondered, does anyone know how to enable this feature? Or has it completely disappeared from iTunes for PC?

    Thanks

    iPhone 6 making partial alert buzz?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 06:14 PM PST

    Hi there, I have a quick question about my iPhone 6. Ever since I updated it to iOS 12, it will occasionally buzz unprompted. The phone is set to vibration only, and the vibration (the Symphony option) will usually cut off on the second beat. Today, I was having a text conversation with a friend, and inbetween texts, I would set it down, but I would hear it buzz, pick it up, and there would be no notification displayed. Actual notifications were accompanied by the entire ring, not by the two-beat ring. It has been completely shut down and reset since updating (this is not the only problem with the phone!), and it's more of a nuisance than anything else.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Mini displayport to HDMI issue. Late 2011 MBP 13"

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 02:27 PM PST

    Hi all,

    Wife was using a 3rd party Mini displayport to HDMI cable to stream from laptop to TV. Worked almost seamlessly for a few years. Did not use for a few months and may have updated to High Sierra in the interim. Now she cannot get a connection between TV and Laptop. "Connecting" appears on TV screen for a few moments but then goes to "No Signal"

    Tried different TV, no joy. Software is all up to date TV sees the cable even if Laptop not connected to other end of cable

    TV does not seem to be the issue. Maybe laptop or cable issue.

    Before I invest in a new cable/dongle, any relevant suggestions/comments/fixes are gratefully accepted.

    Thanks for reading

    Ipad iCloud locked after a year

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 12:00 PM PST

    I bought my mom an iPad mini from someone on offerup (an app used to sell used goods) and this morning she tried to use it and it was iCloud locked from the old user. We had already removed the old user from the iPad and my mom was using my iCloud account on it, but now its iCloud locked with the other persons iCloud account. What can I do, I don't have anyway to contact the previous owner. Am I fucked?

I have tried the add file option I have tried drag and drop i have also tried the automatically add to iTunes folder option and it will not work. It is extremely infuriating and im so close to just removing iTunes from my computer since i now have no use for it.

    I am on a PC Windows 10 with the newest version of iTunes.

    iTunes does absolutely nothing, i don't even get an error message.

    Part of my iPhone 6 screen is unresponsive

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 05:25 PM PST

    I dropped my iPhone, the screen is damaged but only the upper middle area is unresponsive while the other areas are responsive. Mhich makes me unable to unlock my iPhone. The Assistive Touch is also on the area too, so I can't use it for any kind of setting changes. Is there anyway to fix it without going to a phone repair center? Since it's Sunday already in Europe and like 90% of the shops are closed. I'd love to use it to check my WhatsApp notifications and for incoming calls or messages but I can't unlock my phone and get in my sim because of this situation, so I was wondering if there was a way to at least fix it for now before I repair my phone's screen?

    iPhone XR keeps dropping wifi connection

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 04:11 PM PST

    Two days ago I bought an iPhone XR, since then it keeps dropping wifi connection. My iPad air and iPhone 6S do not have/had this issue ever. I've reseted network settings and power cycled my router several times. Thing is if I go into wifi settings and manually try to reconnect it usually fixes the problem, tho only for a little time, it's totally random when it drops the connection again. Beside this issue phone works perfectly. Do you think this is a software issue or my phone is faulty? In my country there are no Apple stores so I have to send through T-mobile for repair, so it's quite a hassle. Thanks for reading!

    Carrier SIM not working after my iPhone got bent

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 04:09 PM PST

    Hello, I am an iPhone 6 user. My phone was exposed to the elements recently. While out hiking, it fell out of my pocket, and my buddy stepped on it with his boot because he was right behind me. Anyway, the phone is at a 5 degree angle now.

    It's been a week since then, and I noticed a few things. First, my LTE slowly went to 4G even in hotspots for T-Mobile. Second, it stopped giving me 4G altogether. Now, I'm stuck on "Searching." Then, as of this afternoon, my phone can't send or receive calls. I need to get to the bottom of this fast.

    Unable to sign into iCloud: "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone."

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 11:48 AM PST

    I've been trying to sign into my iCloud to setup Apple Pay. This is the error I keep getting. I have received previous messages when resetting my phone. However, it always comes through: Until I attempt to activate iCloud.

    What can I do to solve this issue? I need this urgently for Apple Pay.

    Is there a way to open links with text appended to the URL?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2018 02:08 PM PST

    Normally, Command + mouse click will open a new tab. Is there any way to set it to open a URL with predetermined text appended to the URL with a different trigger, say Option + Command + click?

    For example -
    Command + mouse click on www.facebook.com link to open Facebook
    Option + Command + click on www.facebook.com link to open www.facebook.com/RandomUser
