    disk I'm currently using doesn't show up when for a re-install

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:02 PM PST

    Hi,

    I have an iMac running the most updated version of Catalina. My OS has been getting glitchy, so I wanted to do a reinstall. After restarting while holding the alt/opt key, I get to the familiar menu but when I scan through the list of places to re-install the OS, the external HD where the OS is located is nowhere to be found. I don't get it.

    Is there a way to go through Terminal to reinstall the OS? Or, do you have any other suggestions?

    iTunes App

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:54 PM PST

    I can't seem to download the iTunes app, I wanted to purchase some new ringtones and that's the easiest way. But everytimw I tap to download it nothing happens, and there is also now reviews. Is this a glitch or did some update happen that I didn't realize. Is there another way that is just as easy to get new ringtones?

    Bought a 64gb iPhone 11 pro max this past Sunday, can I take it back to get a 256?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:31 AM PST

    I just realized since my plan is to have this phone for the long haul that I won't more storage.

    Will Apple give me any problems at all to pay $150 more to get more storage ...even though I opened and used the new phone for a few days?

    Also, I paid full price up front.

    Help my macbook keeps crashing

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:10 PM PST

    As of recently my Mac crashing pretty regularly. First a program will stop working, then the operating system will stop working. Some times I get the spinning wheel of death. Usually I have to restart it myself other times it will reset itself. I noticed that it happens when the computer is on my lap or when Im moving the computer around too much. Today when it restarted it asked me if i wanted to send the report to apple which I decided to do. I clicked through and it showed me the report. Can any one decipher what this all means? if there is no resolution i plan to bring it to a Genius at an Apple store in the coming weeks

    Report:

    US education store. Is .edu enough?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:19 PM PST

    If I buy a new MacBook in the US education store, will they be checking for a physical student ID when picking it up in store?

    Have you heard of any troubles when buying an unusually expensive (for a student) MacBook, such as a new 16" with upgrades for 5k$?

    Asking because I still have access to my student email but nothing else. Often that is enough but I wonder if here as well

    Weird oleophobic wear on iPhone 8?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:05 PM PST

    Will unread messages stay unread when I upgrade?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:45 PM PST

    I am replacing the sim card from my old 5s to my new 8. I have an iMessage from someone on my phone that I am trying keep unread for the longest time possible. When I download the backup info from iTunes onto my new iPhone 8, will it still be unread? Thanks in advance.

    Connecting Pre Thunderbolt Apple Monitor to PC

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:13 PM PST

    Hi, I have the Apple Monitor with the Mini-Display Port LED Monitor (pre Thunderbolt). I want to connect it to a PC that has HDMI and DisplayPort connection. I cannot find the right adapter.

    Essentially, the monitor already has a mini Display Port coming directly from the monitor out. I need to convert the mini DisplayPort to HDMI or DisplayPort. Does anyone know what adapter I can get? I cannot find one. Thanks!

    What happens to my old iPhone after removing the SIM card?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:09 PM PST

    I recently got an iPhone 8, an upgrade from my 5s. When my 5s is no longer in service and the SIM card is taken out, what will happen? Will the 5s still be able to connect to WiFi? Will my photos that are stored locally still be on the 5s? I have Verizon, if that helps. Thanks!

    Switched from iPhone 6 to iPhone 11 pro max, and I'm having iCloud issues!

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 05:06 PM PST

    Hey everyone,

    So i recently switched over and have found that all my pictures/and text messages are up-to-date but my contacts aren't, meaning I have all my texts but only 10% of them have names, the rest are just the numbers. Also my notes aren't fully synced(I'm guessing this is from a back-up that I did a few years ago).

    Background: I bought the 50gb iCloud storage. Backed everything up on my 6s and then made the switch. And all of the apps(messages/contacts) that I wanted to switch over are highlighted.

    How can I switch over my contacts' names and notes?

    Would it mean that I would have to factory reset the new phone again and try this one more time?

    Thank you!

    HELP iTunes/Macbook 'loved' songs query

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:22 PM PST

    Hello,

    I get through lots of music and often only find a decent song or two which I'd like to keep instead of deleting the whole album. Currently the only way to save the preferred tracks is to manually go into the folder and move them into a separate folder (Zzarious Artists) which I never delete. I also use the 'Love' feature in iTunes and on my iPhone. I want to have all my loved songs on my phone but I often first listen to albums on my Mac. Is there any way that the 'love' feature somehow marks the song, in a way that can be searched via Terminal? That way I could search for all loved songs, cut paste and delete the excess albums from the Music folder? Does that make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

    iPhone 11 5W charger alternatives

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:19 PM PST

    Hi, I am thinking on getting this UGREEN 18W power adapter for my wife as she is getting the iPhone 11. Do you know if using a third party charger may be counterproductive for the life of the phone? Trying to save a bit whatsoever versus the official Apple one. What is it exactly what to look for in a charger?

    Thanks beforehand.

    i can't delete search history on an ipad

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:00 PM PST

    So i have an ipad and i usually don't like anything in my search history because it just looks messy to me. But i can't delete it now for some reason. I have tried Getting rid of content restriction and turned off parental controls. I even tried a hard reset but that clear history button is still grayed out. Both in settings and in browser.

    Sign in required

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:28 PM PST

    I don't have my password, I've tried so many combinations I have no clue. I don't have my trusted number as it was a phone from years ago and only forgot my password a few months ago so I had no need for it. No I know has that number, I asked anyone who had my number which was only my family.

    So it's hard for me to be helped by Apple as there isn't much help for once you lose both. Any solutions?

    Any easy way to access photos from iPad in Finder menu

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 12:26 PM PST

    I'm trying to help a relative do some work on their mac. They have pictures taken on an iPad which they want to post on Ebay.

    The problem is that Apple imports these in to Photos which is largely useless to non-techie users. The steps that I can find are import them to Photos, then copy them over to downloads and hope they go into a usable folder and then hope that someone can find them.

    Is there not a way to just have a Photos folder in Finder that all of the pictures would sync in to? I need something that is usable for non-computer people as I'm not going to be tech support for them.

    Any ideas appreciated.

    Monitor problem while docking MacBooks

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:23 PM PST

    Frequently when I plug in my MacBook dock, my external monitor won't come up while every other connected peripheral will work. I'll disconnect it and reconnect and SOMETIMES it comes up. Other times I'll need to switch around which USB-C port I'm using and eventually it (may) come up. Initially I experienced this using my Stone Henge Dock at work with my 2018 MacBook Pro. I just got a new 2019 MacBook Pro at home and am now experiencing the same behavior with my OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock. Sometimes I'll have to completely reboot the laptop for it to recognize the monitor. Same type of behavior, two separate MacBooks and docks.

    Has anyone else experienced this (and may potentially have a solution or idea re: cause)? Thanks in advance!

    All images viewed on iPad Pro’s browser are heavily zoomed in. Can’t find any settings that describe or help this issue.

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:03 PM PST

    When trying to view images on browsers (have tried both chrome and Firefox) they are so zoomed in that most is cut off, requiring me to scroll down to see the rest. They are so big that I can't pinch-zoom them out enough to fit the whole thing at once. No setting I've been able to find helps this, and I can't get the images to stay zoomed out. This makes it really annoying to use sites like reddit and Twitter. (iPad Pro 11 inch)

    external keyboard fn key functions

    Posted: 04 Dec 2019 05:40 PM PST

    Hello, im currently on version 10.15.1 of Catalina, and using an external tkl keyboard. The issues im having is that functionality of the fn keys (f1-f12) on the keyboard, as they don't do anything. I've tried messing with the fn settings in keyboard settings but no luck.

    I'm certain the keyboard is working because I built it myself and inputs are showing on keyboard testing sites. What I want is the function keys to control screen brightness, volume, etc. At the moment, hitting them in macos does literally nothing, (except f12 which opens inspect element).

    Anyone have a fix to this annoying issue?
