    What are some good external hard drives for transferring videos and pictures on mobile devices?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 07:56 PM PST

    I have an XS 256gb and ate thru half of my total storage. I've already deleted apps, videos and just about every little thing that I have no use for.

    Along with the question if I do get an external storage, how do I move photos to and from it?

    With AirPods connected I ask Siri to call someone. It calls. But I need to switch audio to speakerphone or actual phone and then back to the AirPods for sound to come thru. Any ideas?

    How to copy only unique data from Time Machine backups, without hard links, in order to scan for duplicate photos

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:35 PM PST

    Hey all

    I'm cross posting this from r/macOS in desperation.

    I have 3 external hard drives containing Time Machine backups of various dates from an iMac over a few years of use.

    I'm wanting to copy off only the unique data from each drive, and not all the hard links, and then use Gemini 2 to scan and remove any duplicate photos I may have, so that I can place all my unique photos in one place without duplicates.

    The problem is that there's a lot of variance in data between the dates, for example Pictures > Album 1 will contain 20 photos at backup date 1, and 10 photos at backup date 2.

    I don't want to have to extract each date's backup with hard links, and scan dozens of copies of large sets of hard-linked data with Gemini 2.

    Is there a way I can extract only all the unique data from all 3 of my externals, in order to cut down on data transfer and scanning time?

    Should I simply clone each external to another drive with Disk Utility or SuperDuper!, and scan each clone with Gemini 2? Will it work around the hard links in finding my duplicate photos?

    Or what would you suggest?

    Thank you in advance.

    Wear OS Watch Causing Bluetooth Issues

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:01 PM PST

    I have a Fossil Smartwatch from when I used to be on Android. I have been trying to use it on my new iPhone 11 Pro, however whenever I am connected to both my car's Bluetooth and the watch, the audio cuts out, stutters, and lags. Are there any known fixes or anything to try?

    Suspected Hairline Crack in Rear Camera Lens on iPhone X

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 06:42 PM PST

    Had my phone sitting face down on a table today and noticed that there was what appeared to be a hairline crack going partway across my rear lens. It starts at the edge of the lens over the top camera and slants up slightly, ending about 3mm from the other edge. It doesn't go all the way across. My fingernail catches on it when gently scraped over.

    The phone hasn't been dropped, is only carried in pockets by itself, and has tempered glass on the front and the same model of phone case that I've been using for 5 years (Incipio Dual Pro-used on previous phones too).

    I don't have AppleCare (two friends that work for Apple have both told me that it's not worth it) an am nearly a year out of warranty. I'm curious about my options here. Oddly enough, despite being in front of the top camera lens, the crack doesn't appear to affect photos, however I have noticed that it seems to take longer to auto focus and is more challenging to manually force the camera to focus as well.

    I love this phone and given that it is 256gb, I'm not keen to replace it anytime soon.

    How to clean this screen properly?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:53 PM PST

    How to clean these marks off a screen?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:48 PM PST

    I'm mainly concerned about the clearly straight, horizontal lines. The ones I'm assuming are made by the keyboard.

    Also, is there a universally accepted way to clean a MacBook screen?

    2015 MacBook Pro.

    How does a fusion drive compare to an SSD?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 05:07 PM PST

    Sorry, you probably get this question a lot but I keep finding conflicting information about this online. Will a computer with a fusion drive boot just as quickly as one with an SSD? Thanks.

    How to find the audio and photo files taking up space on my hard drive?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:17 PM PST

    Hello, I'm trying to clear out as much space as possible on my old MacBook Pro's SSD.

    • I have 239.71 GB capacity and 143.1 GB available (got it up from 69 by moving all photo/video/audio I could find to an external drive)

    • Dropbox says it's storing 5.15 GB on my disk, and I'm trying to figure out how to remove that

    • Disk Utility says I have 36 GB of audio that I can't find anywhere besides system alerts. What's the best way to locate these? I've looked everywhere

    About This Mac:

    • OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
    • MacBook Pro 15 inch 2.53GHZ, Mid 2009
    • 8GB Memory

    Thanks in advance for any tips

    iMessage suddenly stopped working and will not activate. Using iCloud account on old iPhone. Wifi Only

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 03:18 PM PST

    Hopefully the title is enough to help get this started.... I upgraded from an iPhone 5 to an 8 over a year ago. I gave the iPhone 5 to my kid and set it up with wi-fi only. Got them an iCloud account and they've been able to text me and the wife with no problem for the last year.

    Last week, my kid suddenly couldn't send or receive texts. I've been messing with this phone for about three hours and cannot figure it out. When trying to get iMessages to work in the iPhone settings, it says "iMessage Activation. An error occurred during activation. Try again." Some notes on what I've tried:

    1. Sign out of iCloud on the main settings page and sign back in.... same error
    2. Turn iMessage off and back on.... same error
    3. Turn FaceTime off and back on (just in case).... same error
    4. Check date and time, toggle the "Set Automatically".... same error
    5. Reboot phone.... same error
    6. Reset network settings.... same error
    7. Reset all settings.... same error
    8. Sign in under MY apple account.... it works, no problem
    9. Sign out then back in with my kid's account.... same error
    10. Log into the kid's account on appleid.apple.com and check any settings I can find. Everything looks good. The account is legit, password works, I'm not crazy.
    11. Back to the phone. Try to log out, log in again and again.... same error
    12. Purposefully enter an incorrect password, just to be certain, stay on sign in screen and it jiggles because it didn't like the password.
    13. Enter the correct password.... same error
    14. Tried my own account on the phone again and it works
    15. Sign back in under the kid's account.... same error
    16. Wait 24 hours with phone plugged in and on wi-fi.... same error

    Like I said, it's been working just fine until just last week and nothing I do will get it working again. I honestly have no idea what to do. Google searches on the subject all take me to canned responses and copy/paste information from apple.com.

    Find My app - does it require data?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 03:17 PM PST

    I'm wondering does anyone know if the location services for Find My app works without a data plan or is data necessary when you're not on wifi? I'm basically wondering if I would able to locate an (elderly) family member's iPhone (using Find My app on my own iPhone) if they do not have a data plan and are not on WiFi? Eg if they only have a minimal call and text plan just for emergencies? Or would I need to get a basic data plan for it? TIA!

    MacBook Air 2018 problem ?

    Posted: 03 Mar 2020 02:43 PM PST

    I bought a new MacBook Air from Apple. But I'm getting nervous about battery life. I charge it to 100, than I use it with half Brightness and roam safari . But than it goes to 70% in 2 hours. Is that normal ? I'm thinking about returning and getting a new one.
