    Apple has been no help. Constant crashing lately. Can anyone tell me what this crash report says?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 05:20 PM PDT

    My computer keeps crashing and "restarting because there was a problem." I am getting really worried. If anyone knows what this is telling me and what I can do, I'd be very thankful.

    My new number is linked to someone else's iMessage account

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 11:09 AM PDT

    About a month ago, I bought a OnePlus 6T and threw in a T-Mobile plan. I forgot to port my old number, so T-Mobile gave me a new one. But as it turns out, my new number is being used for someone else's iMessage account. I found this out when I texted my girlfriend, who is an Apple user, and when she responded, it went to the other person's inbox. He was not very nice. I also think this issue is causing glitches, such as when I text in a group chat, my message gets sent back to the chat in a different bubble.

    I have contacted T-Mobile support, no luck.

    I have (attempted to) contact Apple support but couldn't get past the robot due to the fact that he asks for what Apple device you're using and I have an Android device.

    Does anybody know what to do about this? I'm all out of options and it's getting frustrating.

    MacBook Pro 13” 2015 Display Issues

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 07:19 PM PDT

    This is my last resort. I've tried everything I could think of. I've reset pram, I've tried resetting the SMC but I've got no confirmation on that. I've drained the battery I've fully charged it. I unscrewed the casing and made sure everything was solidly in place. I've messed with color profiles and done everything any forum has said. But my issue is so weird that I don't even know what I'm looking for. It started when I opened the lid one day and was greeted by a grey screen. I tried everything and nothing worked... eventually someone tried using another monitor and got it to at least run as a desktop computer. But it's my portable school laptop so I kind of need to bring it places. Then one day I opened it up and I got this level of success: The Grey Translucent Box thing

    I'm at least happy to have a screen even if it looks kind of dead and is only 9/10ths of screen. But it's driving me crazy. How do I fix this?

    AirPods Issue

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 06:55 PM PDT

    Hey everyone. Just recently bought AirPods yesterday but I cant seem to get them to work like everyone else's. Whenever I try to connect the AirPods it doesnt show the battery for the small popup but rather a notice for software update. Whenever I press any option it doesnt seem to help. Re-pairing doesn't to help either. Ive also tried to follow steps for letting the AirPods update its firmware but it hasn't updated for over an hour. I also dont understand what firmware I have. Any help is much appreciated! https://imgur.com/a/VY878qO

    A Projector that can display MacBook screen wirelessly

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 06:54 PM PDT

    I know that WiDi doesn't work with MacBooks, and I think Macs in general. Most of the projectors I'm seeing online that are worth their salt (it's been a frustrating sea of cheap Chinese knockoff brands on google search), boast WiDi support, but mention nothing of a Mac compatibility. My old projector is outdated and finally bit the dust, so I'm looking to get a wireless one to reduce the wire clutter in my living room.

    My living room MacBook specs are:

    Late 2011 MacBook Pro 2.5GHz i7 16GB RAM Radeon HD6770M Samsung 850 EVO 512GB

    I know it's old, but it's just my living room entertainment center station. Hopefully it's not too old to do any kind of screen sharing wirelessly. Any suggestions of brands of Projector and/or software solutions for connectivity would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Can I retrieve music from iPod with bad battery? (A1136)

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 04:25 PM PDT

    When plugged into my laptop, my iPod Video (A1136) charges but isn't recognized as a storage device. So I cannot seem to access the files via Windows Explorer on this specific iPod. I don't have this issue with other iPods (i.e., I can access files from my Nano 1st gen).

    This A1136 does have a bad battery. It turns on and charges, but doesn't build a charge. Dies within seconds of being unplugged. Is this something that prevents it from being used as a storage device? Any way around this?

    Thanks

    Am I able to try my hand at development?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 10:17 PM PDT

    I just got an iPad Pro 10.5" and I'm 16. I've always had a soft spot for coding because of the creativity I can express. I have a pretty fast computer (Intel i5 8th gen, 8gb ram, windows 10, and basically a GTX 1050 mobile port, it's a laptop) so I think I would be able to run computer programs well, as far as I know, swift is something I would need.

    The iPad is remarkably fast and since it's a large screen and great performance I would love to use it for testing any app development. I just need to know where to start and what I need.

    FYI, tutorial videos don't do well for me. I learn by trial and error and figuring out everything by myself, it's how I learned Davinci resolve and Gimp and can use them fluently, so I could probably figure out my way through a program but I just don't know what programs.

    MBA 13" Mid-2013 Not Booting Help / + Possible Data Recovery?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 09:49 PM PDT

    So my friends MacBook Air 13" Mid-2013 is not booting at the moment. I suspect it's been dropped as they tend to use it on their bed and fall asleep with it there (Despite my advice on this).

    When they rang me about it they didn't turn it on as they were assuming it was flat, had connected the official charger and got a green light (charged). Pressing the power button no matter how long, there was no screen illumination or signal, no fans, no beeps, no signs of life at all really.

    They left it unplugged for a few days until I could look. I've found it and connected the charger again where it brought up the amber light (Charging). I did a SMC Reset and the charger light went through the expected change of Green to Amber, positive result. Still won't power on however.

    I did a reset of the PRAM, no result.

    I changed over to my known working MacBook charger, still an amber light, but also no result.

    Roll of the dice attempt of using a Thunderbolt HDMI to bypass the LCD, no result.

    At this stage, it's safe to assume there's internal hardware death in it somewhere and it's time to go to the Genius Bar unless someone can suggest something I haven't tried?

    Secondary question, is she's also not backed up her most recent data which was all of her CV/Cover Letters/Certificates she was using to try and find a job after recently being made redundant. Crap timing. If this is as dead as I'm expecting, has anybody successfully used these before to transfer data to a different Mac? I've never tried them but I have assumed that there could be security/encryption issues? I've recovered data in similar ways in the past with PC/Windows, but never attempted for Mac. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MAU3ENPRPCI/

    If there's any info I've missed here, just let me know and I'll happily include. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Facebook app volume box within videos

    Will Apple ever upgrade the Facebook app to get rid of the volume box when you change the volume whilst watching videos? This is such an overseen issue.

    MBP (early 2015) charger light won't come on. Already tried resetting SMC, checked battery health ('normal'), and don't have another charger. What else can I do?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 08:50 PM PDT

    Is buying a new charger the only option? Could something else be wrong even if the batter says 'normal'?

    Clone HDD to SSD, losing MS Office Key

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 09:51 AM PDT

    So, I am not a mac person at all, have a mini that I use but only for a couple small things.

    Trying to help a friend speed up their mac by closing their drive to an SSD, but when we put it in, everything boots up and works with the exception of MS Office which requires inputting the key again.

    Is there any way to find the key of the installation to be able to re-input it on the new SSD so it can be used? I would use the MagicJellyBean on windows but not finding anything like that for a mac.

    This is for Office 2011.

    Anyone know how?

    She can't find the original cert with the key on it because she bought it 8 years ago and has moved twice since then.

    EDIT: SOLUTION I ended up finding an old code I had in a PDF email from a couple jobs ago, used that and then used the phone system to activate it.

    MBP running Mojave. Is there any way to set one of my email addresses as the default "from" address in Mail?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 04:36 PM PDT

    I've tried googling this, with no luck. I have several email addresses, but there's one that I use 98% of the time. I'd like that to come up as the default when I compose an email. As it is, Mail seems to randomly pick one of my email addresses to use in the "from" field, with the result that my emails often end up caught in the recipient's "junk" folder. Is there a way to designate one email address to be the default? (I try to remember to check before hitting "send", but sometimes I'm in a hurry and forget.)

    MacBook Pro 2012 13’ long load times

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 07:55 PM PDT

    I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro 2012 to a 250 Gb ssd and 16 Gb of RAM, and about a week and a half ago it started chugging to a crawl, beach balling for around a minute or two then letting click on an app or something, only for it to go back to beach balling. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I've tried resetting and restoring only for the issue to persist. Could it be a CPU issue?

    Do I need a credit card to setup a cellular plan? I only have debit.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 04:06 PM PDT

    Hello, I bought an 11 inch iPad pro the other week with cellular data, but I cannot active a plan with AT&T without a credit card it seems, inputting my debit card data returns with an error. Are there any plans I can use with just a debit card? Would a prepaid data card work? What about if I took the iPad into an AT&T store?

    Thanks for any help!

    New 27" iMac weather Notification Center not working

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 07:35 PM PDT

    Hello all,

    https://i.imgur.com/Gdb78Aq.jpg

    I just bought a new iMac and for some reason the weather widget is not updating to my location, the Today summary is accurate however.

    I already tried disabling and re-enabling Location services in Privacy and still nothing. Funny enough on my MacBook, it works perfectly fine. They're both connected to the same Wifi connection and all.

    It really has me stumped, any insight into this?

    I spilled water on my MacBook Air! What is the diagnosis?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 07:24 PM PDT

    The laptop doesn't turn on, but when I plug it in to charge it the low battery screen appears, but the laptop won't charge. I spilled water on it about a month ago so there's no water in the laptop, but there's very minimal rust (according to the Genius Bar, who offered to fix it for a high price so I couldn't afford it). What does it seem like the main problem would be?

    Can anyone suggest a good "rugged" case for the Apple Watch series 4?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 12:50 PM PDT

    My dad is a handyman and wants to be able to wear his watch more. He just got a series 4 and has yet to get a case for it. I have been trying to sift through the reviews on Amazon but am kind of stuck on what to believe, so your suggestions would come in handy. Any suggestions?

    It's the 44, he's not looking to do anything super intense with it, but the more protective the better.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    [MBP] Unable to upgrade my SSD, or do internet restore for MacOS

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 06:20 PM PDT

    Hello, here's what my problem is. I've run out of space on my mid-2015 MacBook Pro (500GB SSD) and purchased a 1TB upgrade kit from OWC to replace it. I've tried doing things a bunch of different ways, yet still have not been able to achieve success. The problems I've encountered are many, I'll try and summarize.

    -- About My Mac--

    Macbook Pro (Retine, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

    2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Startup disk: Macintosh HD (MacOS Mojave)

    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB

    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    .

    I install the 1TB SSD into the provided external enclosure, and attempt to "CLONE" my 500GB SSD to it. (FAILS 9/10 times)

    • I have had this fail multiple times, using Carbon Copy Cloner, it worked once though but since I couldn't boot from it I started over again. Is this software reliable? Should I be cloning my startup drive a different way? I formatted it and partitioned the whole drive in the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) set up.

    I install the 1TB SSD into my MBP however it is not visible on start up - blinking question mark folder or black screen.

    • When I did get a successful clone completed I skipped (foolishly) to swapping the 500GB and 1TB ssd's and tried to boot from the new one, thinking everything was fine. In most instances after hitting the power button the MBP just stays in a black, blank screen. On a rare occasion or two it made the start up tone, and then displayed a flashing folder icon with a question mark on it.

    I install the 1TB SSD into the external enclosure, clone it, and boot from it.

    • I swapped my 500GB SSD back into my MBP and the 1TB into the enclosure and was able to boot the MBP back up. I shut down and started back up while holding the OPTION key, both drives displayed correctly, and so I selected the 1TB SSD and booted from that, it looked like a perfect clone. I am not sure if I was able to boot from it externally or if, for some reason, the 500GB SSD being in the mac was booted from despite my selecting the 1TB SSD.
    • When it worked, booting from the 1TB SSD in the external enclosure I viewed this as a sign of success, moved it BACK into the MBP and attempted to boot from it and was not successful - black screen or flashing question mark folder same as above.

    I install the 1TB SSD into the MBP and attempt internet restore

    • It downloaded the tool, and I was able to look at disk utility and it gave me the option of installing MacOS onto the 1TB SSD. It needed to download a ton of files for it, estimated 8 hours to completion, however the download/install failed an hour or so into the process. I forgot to write the error message down on that one.

    I downloaded MacOS Mojave from the playstore and put the installer on a freshly formatted 1TB SSD (in the ext. enclosure).

    • On start up I held the option button and the 1TB SSD does not show up anymore.

    SO here is my next planned course of action, but I wanted to see if this sub has any ideas about what it is that I'm doing wrong or where my problem is. PLAN 1: - I am going to format the 1TB SSD and re-copy the MacOS Mojave Installer to it. - I am going to install the 1TB SSD into my MBP and attempt to start that way. - If it does not recognize the installer I'm going to reboot into Internet recovery and attempt that again. 

    I'm at a standstill and can't do any work (video editing) because my 500GB is full.

    Question About How Activation Lock Works

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 05:52 PM PDT

    So I have an iPhone 7 32 GB model that had an activation lock from an icloud account that i no long used. Two days ago I provided Apple Customer Support with a proof of purchase that included IMEI, Date of Purchase, etc. My question is what happens next? Once they verify the phone is mine do they call me? Do they just remove it without telling me? I've looked endlessly online but I can't find an answer.

    New motherboard or not a new motherboard

    Posted: 01 Apr 2019 05:36 PM PDT

    So i just picked up my macbook pro 2016 for water damage. Was tier 4 repair. Seems to work great but my question is whether not they swapped out the board. The employee said they would and it would essentially be a new laptop. Piece of paper they gave me said it was fixed along with a bunch of other stuff, but when i opened it up there was my original sign-in and all my data was there. Did they do component level repair or did they somehow load all my stuff back on the new board. I didnt sign into icloud in the store.

    It was also a very quick turnaround. Dropped off at 3am on Friday morning (nyc store) and ready on Monday by noon.

    Thank you.
