    Apple Help iPod Classic “Do Not Disconnect” screen

    Apple Help iPod Classic “Do Not Disconnect” screen


    iPod Classic “Do Not Disconnect” screen

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:07 PM PDT

    I have a preowned 160gb iPod Classic device which I have been using for about 2/3 years now.

    Over the past year, it sometimes showed a tick or a cross with the message "Do not disconnect" like this, and this would usually be resolved by holding down Menu and the centre button for a few seconds. But today it came up again, I tried holding both buttons down and it still won't fix itself. It stays on the "do not disconnect" screen.

    Does anyone know why this is, or what I can do to get it back to its normal settings? Thanks!

    Videos go black when trying to skip

    Posted: 01 May 2019 06:36 AM PDT

    Literally impossible to stream any video through Safari, trying to skip even a few seconds in a short video causes the video to freeze, then go black. It won't buffer and won't load any more until the page is refreshed (but it will happen again).

    It's driving me nuts, I've reset network settings, cleared history and data from Safari, and hard reset the phone and it seems to be getting worse.

    iPhone X latest beta update

    Edit: Tested in DuckDuckGo browser and the same thing happens. This is ridiculous. Even if the video catches up to the buffer point without input from me it will still freeze

    Edit 2: Even audio in my Music library streaming over BT to my car is having a similar issue. Wow they really screwed up on this update!

    Does iPad Pro discharge under full load?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 10:16 PM PDT

    My iPad Pro 12.9" (2017) seems to discharge under full load even when plugged in. By full load I'm usually either playing PUBG Mobile or drawing on a large canvas in Procreate. I've tried several different cables and chargers and always seem to get this result. I've tried MFI certified cables.

    Is this supposed to happen? I've heard that the MBP 15inch has similar behavior with its charger.

    iPhone 6 forgot passcode after reboot

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:07 PM PDT

    Somehow, my phone doesn't know the passcode anymore. I've gone through trying to get in by recovering the system, using iTunes, trying alternative passcodes but nothing has worked. How do I get back in?

    Edit: I GOT DFU TO WORK, HOOORAY! I'm only able to get it to work by using a different cable and a Windows 10 VM in Arch Linux on my desktop. As I'm writing this, it's almost done extracting and is close to restoring.

    [CAN] Can Apple Pay credit card charge limit be increased from the $200

    Posted: 01 May 2019 08:55 PM PDT

    Bank who handles my MasterCard that I use on Apple Pay says neither the bank nor the merchants can change the limit, as it's on Apple's end.

    Apple Watch Sync Issues

    Posted: 01 May 2019 08:52 PM PDT

    My Apple Watch 4 keeps unsyncing my contacts and it shows up as a number vs their saved contact when someone texts me.

    I've done the reset via app, it'll fix itself sometimes and sometimes it won't fix it. Any insights?

    Trying to free up space on my hard drive but I can't figure out what's taking up so much space in the first place?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 08:22 PM PDT

    As the title says, I'm trying to clear up space on my drive since my mac is running at a snail's pace. When I look at the breakdown of used space I get this: https://imgur.com/a/1WCml58

    It says 11.85GB available of 120GB meaning I've used 108.15GB of space. However when you add up the contributions listed on the side you get only 61 GB. Where is the extra 46GB coming from? I'm guessing it comes from the system tab but it never stops loading, so I can't click into it. Is there anything I can do free up more space? I can't backup my stuff to the cloud anymore because there's a minimum requirement of disk space and some of my heavy CPU applications are crashing because of what I assume not enough space to store temporary files. I put everything I can on an external HD. Basically everything on my mac is software, software files, or plugins for software which shouldn't be put on an external disk. I'm on Sierra if that helps. Thank you!

    Warning on wrong analysis (water damage)

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:59 PM PDT

    Hello,
    A few days ago I visited a certain Apple Store because my iPhone XR(acquired nov/2018) was showing some malfunctions to charge. There were times it charged normally, and other times it didn't charge, no matter what I did. All of this happened using cable. It was charging normally over the air.
    I went to said store on a Monday, saying that it wasn't charging, however, it charged when I was at the store, I tried to explain that it was a problem that happened only now and then.
    On Tuesday, it was charging normally. By the end of the day it stopped charging again, I went to the same store and they said they could replace it for US$ 399.00+taxes. Thus I bought a new iPhone XS, not complaining a bit, I got my used XR home and switched everything to the new XS.
    Simply out of curiosity I took the XR to a third-party store that said they could fix, once I got there, he just used some WD40, cleaned the charging port with some kind of smooth cloth, and like magic it is working normally again.
    I intend to keep both phones, but I would have never bought this iPhone XS if only they cared about solving my problem, and not just finding the quicker solution.

    I am just leaving this post here because I am really into Apple products and I don't plan to switch to another, but this really got me disappointed.

    Thanks

    Simple way to separate airdrop receiving devices?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 07:44 PM PDT

    I'm borrowing my fiancee's ipad and I'm having to airdrop a lot of files to it from my macbook. Everytime I do this her iphone also gets a prompt from airdrop, and it's driving her nuts.

    Aside from disconnecting her icloud is there a way to send an airdrop specifically to the ipad without pinging her iphone at the same time?

    My MacBook Pro 15 is constantly stuttering, doing all tasks from moving the cursor around the home screen, watching Netflix and editing video

    Posted: 01 May 2019 07:06 PM PDT

    My MacBook Pro 2018 is having stuttering issues. Watching video for example I could have constant lags every few seconds where the picture stops then continues, the laptop functions fine performance wise I took it abroad this past year and it wasn't used very often and during the winter was left powered off during in the cold for a prolonged time(something I suspect could have affected the performance) however I'm not 100% sure any help would be much appreciated. I have the 2.6ghz i7 15 in MacBook updated to the most recent drivers

    Function keys not working properly

    Posted: 01 May 2019 06:37 PM PDT

    I just got a (new to me) MacBook Air (early 2015). All is good except that the F keys are not functioning. For example the f11 key (meant for turning down volume) is moving the window up and out of sight. I've watched some videos and everybody says to uncheck the "use F1, F2 ect. as standard function keys." Both while checked and unchecked the keys. I know that the keys physically work because I can hear that tone when they are clicked.

    Thanks

    iCloud Account Photo problems

    Posted: 01 May 2019 02:12 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I can't seem to find anything on google about this as the search results just return everything about photos in the cloud. Rather than specifically the account related profile picture.

    Essentially the problem I'm having is that whenever I register on a website using my @icloud.com email address, it provides this 10 year old photo of me, I can't find and I cannot change.

    I've gone into the iCloud Mail settings and I've change my photo, years ago. Although apple still provides the same 10 year old photograph.

    For example I've just registered an account for Star Citizen and before I'd even confirm my email address for that account. It had provided Star Citizen with a photo of me, which I presume is still linked to my iCloud account.

    Does anyone know how to change this and remove the photograph?

    I lost my airpods and they're offline

    Posted: 01 May 2019 11:40 AM PDT

    I heard that i should get a notification when and if it comes back online or if it connects to another phone. But does it have to connect to another iPhone for me to get that notification? And what happens if the person who took my airpods reset them?

    New Magic Mouse 2 has a right click problem

    Posted: 01 May 2019 05:16 PM PDT

    My apologies if this is a repeat — I didn't see evidence of other people having this problem here or on Apple Discussions:

    Got a Space Grey Magic Mouse 2 less than a month ago. Just realized that the button appears to be "unbalanced" — it won't click at all past about 4/5ths of the surface, counting from the left. The button goes down, but doesn't mechanically click (and a click isn't registered).

    Not a software problem; right-click is enabled on macOS, and clicking right-of-centre triggers a right click. But the button is dead on the far right side. If I imagine a click-trigger under the mouse surface, it feels like that trigger is weighted to the left of the mouse, far enough that the right side doesn't tip it.

    Just talked to Apple Support, and they're intimating that I'd have to pay for repairs since I bought it (one week) longer than two weeks ago. That seems rather shabby.

    Anyone else?

    Very slow Macbook Pro 2012 13’

    Posted: 01 May 2019 05:03 PM PDT

    Today my MBP started to run really slow, multicolor wheel evertime I want to do anything etc.

    It has a 500g Samsung SSD, about 6 month old and 4gb RAM.

    S.M.A.R.T not verified in Disk Utility.

    I runned disk utility to verify and repair and it says that everything is fine.

    Runned Onyx Maintenance and Cleaning and it didn't change anything.

    Checked with Malwarebyte for virus. Nothing.

    Did SMC and PRAM reset too and still slow.

    Activity monitor doesn't show anything going wild.

    Does it seem like the the SSD is going to die?

    Any advice?

    Thanks

    Mac Pro + Thunderbolt.

    Posted: 01 May 2019 12:57 PM PDT

    Hi guys! Probably this question have been asked multiple times but I could not find it.

    Here's the thing. Yesterday I was about to go buy an older Mac Pro fully updated (5,1) with a good video card in hope to replace my older i7 MBP which has died from a known issue (Mid-2011). I wanted to use the Mac Pro as a main computer that can run photoshop, iTunes for all my house, Adobe Premiere Pro and one game I enjoy (Cities:Skyline).

    I bought three years ago (or so) a Thunderbolt display which I love. On my way to the person's place to pick up the computer, I called the guy to negotiate the final price and condition and we agreed to stick with the original price but to throw-in the deal an adaptor. Long story short, I found out my screen could not be used with these Mac Pros.

    Is there any solution?

    I did not get the computer but it's still available. I want to keep my screen but have a new computer too.

    Was wondering if it's a good idea to get an older Mac Pro, find a newer used one (not really into it since the prices are high), get a new Mac Pro with the Apple Care ( I read online the new Mac Pro might be coming this summer), find a used iMac 5K....

    Totally lost.

    i dont know what's happened to my phone, but recently it's been acting wierd. none of my apps will update, and i cant download any apps. i tried checking to see if i had storage, even though it didnt say that i didnt have enough, but wasnt lucky. i recently got a vpn and was going to try out another one, but i cant download another one... i thought the vpn may have caused this but i deleted it and my phone is still acting wierd...

    Mid-2015 MBP freezes when NOT connected to external display

    Posted: 01 May 2019 04:18 PM PDT

    Posting on behalf of a friend here but he has a 2015 MBP which he is having issues. He upgraded to Mojave 10.14.4 about a week or two ago. 3 nights ago he was using the machine as he always does. No problem. Next morning he wakes up and boots, and his keyboard and trackpad won't respond. Very strange. He was able to boot into safe mode but every time he tries to boot into his main account it freezes up. So he googles some stuff from his phone, and eventually boots into recovery and reinstalls the OS. Still has the issue.

    So today I run by his place and we commence looking for answers. We ran across an obscure post saying to try booting with an external display attached via thunderbolt. We took out his thunderbolt to HDMI and plugged into his tv. Everything works fine. Unplug, reboot. The problem returns. Every once in a while it will run for 30-90 seconds and then freeze again.

    Anyone else had this issue? Or a similar one? Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    TL;DR: 2015 MBP, 2.8 i7, 16gb, 1TB, Iris graphics (no card). Randomly decided to hang and become unresponsive unless we boot while hooked up to his tv via Thunderbolt to HDMI.
