    How to resolve being cheated by app developer?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 06:06 PM PDT

    Earlier this year I purchased a "Remove ads forever" upgrade to an iOS app, but about a month later I updated the app and the ads came back. The restore purchases option does not work. Apple says there is nothing they can do and I must take it up with the app developer. Unfortunately, the contact form on their website doesn't work (won't submit) and they have ignored my emails. Is there anything I can do? I expected that Apple would either force the developer to honor the purchase or give me a refund, but they say no.

    Edit: App name is: Instant Buttons - Funny Sounds

    Can anyone tell me more about these weird sounds my MacBook is making?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 05:52 PM PDT

    I decided it would be better to upload a video describing the issue in a little more detail to YouTube. Uploading directly to Reddit was a little slower than usual...

    TL;DR: Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15" is making some weird noises when powering on and opening the lid. I think one of the sounds is the DVD Drive checking for a boot disc but I'm not sure. The other one is very intriguing. It sounds like a muffled "click". I've never heard of anything quite like this. It only happens when the machine is turned on. Opening the lid with it off does not trigger the sound.

    Here is the video:

    https://youtu.be/s0S-TK8rMWg

    In it, you can hear them pretty clearly (Headphones recommended. Please excuse my pijamas and messy room)... I think this "click" sound was happening with less frequency some time ago. I first thought it could be a bizarre consequence to the notorious heat it sometimes run on, but it isn't. I heard it when it was cooler. Then I thought it could be a problem with the display hinge. I'm not very familiar with fixing the display assembly, but the fact that I could not hear the click every time I moved the display made me question this possibility. Not only but as you can see in the video, I opened the laptop, turned on and then heard the noise. This makes me believe it might be a power issue or maybe it's a very peculiar sounding HDD noise.

    I've never had any MacBook prior to this one. I'm not quite sure on how firm the hinge should feel. Right now, it holds the position of the display on every normal usage situation I tried so far. The movement feels fairly sturdy, not being too harsh and also being easy to open/close it. It is possible to move the display if the laptop is shaken rather forcefully.

    The noise happens about every 8/10 times when opening the lid on sleep mode and booting.

    I think I should mention one more thing... This laptop never had any part of it upgraded since 2008. The battery is still the same (performs about as well as you'd expect :/ ) the Hard Drive is the same from factory. It all was the standard parts up until I upgraded one of the 2GB DDR3 RAM sticks to a 4GB DDR3, totalling 6GB of system memory.

    Reading from "About this Mac":

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)

    Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Memory: 6 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3

    Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT 512 MB

    Storage: 320GB SATA Hard Drive (Macintosh HD).

    That is all! Sorry for the enormous post...

    Thanks for reading and/or watching if you did. Have a nice one out there!

    Also... Where's the iMovie Gang at?

    Creating iCloud Email for already existing Apple ID

    Posted: 27 May 2020 06:31 PM PDT

    I created my Apple ID with a yahoo email, but I'd prefer to no longer have it on this email as I would like to slowly phase out of using it at all. Is there a way to change the email for my Apple ID into an iCloud email although I didn't create one with the Apple ID?

    I keep getting verification codes. I do not have an Apple account.

    Posted: 27 May 2020 06:21 PM PDT

    I keep getting verification code text messages. I do not have an Apple account. I used to, but it was with a different phone number. I have texted STOP and received replies stating that I will no longer receive anymore messages, but they keep coming anyway. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

    Is it still worth buying a 2012 Macbook Pro in 2020?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 05:54 PM PDT

    I posted this in r/mac but maybe you lovely folks here can help me as well.

    I currently own an aging 2012 Macbook Air 1.8ghz i5 4gb ram. I've upgraded it to a 1TB SSD a while and did a fresh install of Catalina today in hopes that it can breathe new life to it. Unfortunately its still slow, even sometimes having a hard time with just web browsing. I thought about upgrading it to a new 2.0ghz i7 logic board with 8gb of ram but that will also cost $300

    I can sell it this laptop for $400 CAD and buy a 2012 Macbook pro 2.9ghz i7 with 8gb of ram for also $400 CAD, is it worth doing this? I figured the processor has more power and it already has more ram, the only thing I would need to upgrade is the hard drive or even add more ram.

    I use it for school work, web-browsing and also cloud gaming (geforce now, shadow), I have it plugged into a monitor 99.9% of the time.

    Would this be the most cost-effective route?

    Unknown device added to my device list on my Apple ID, does someone have my log in?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 07:26 PM PDT

    So I was going through my Apple ID on my settings and I saw a MacBook Pro was connected to my account, I don't have one so I panicked and removed it, I have 2 factor authentication and never received a verification code through any of my devices is it possible for someone to bypass that? I did notice that the MacBook Pro had red text on the bottom that said it was unable to receive verification codes, I am using a program on my pc to side load apps wirelessly called AltStore is it possible that it could've somehow show that as a MacBook on my connected devices? I did change my password

    Black Screen With ESC on touch bar only

    Posted: 27 May 2020 09:38 PM PDT

    Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 2017 w/ Touch Bar. It all started when a thin vertical line appeared on my screen. I ran a hardware test and no issues. However when I reset the computer, it went to a black screen and has been there since. The computer seems to turn on bc it gets very warm but the display stays grayish. I tried resetting the NVRAM and SMC but I always go back to the same gray screen. The keyboards back light as well as the touch bar icons pooped up once or twice but disappeared. The screen now seems to have these scattered colorful lines that are grouped and fairly sized but disappear after a while and do not take up the entire screen or a large section of it. I was hoping someone had any suggestions of what I could do before I blow $600 on a new display. Thanks

    2012 13” MacBook Pro booting to Folder with Question Mark

    Posted: 27 May 2020 09:19 PM PDT

    I upgraded my boyfriend's 2012 MBP's hard drive to an SSD and upgraded the ram. Things have been working pretty great. Then while watching videos online, it shut off and no longer could boot. Got into disk utility, it sees the ssd, repaired. Same thing. Also reset PRAM and SMC. It seems like it recognized the SED except when it tries to boot or even trying to reinstall OSX. Is there anything more I can do?

    Problem with storage (IPhone XR 64GB)

    Posted: 27 May 2020 09:02 PM PDT

    A couple days ago, it said that my storage was full. So I went and deleted a bunch of pictures. Today, all the pictures are back... I'm not sure what to do. Is there something I have to shut off? I now have to go through and delete those pics again to free up storage.

    I pay $3.99 a month for additional storage through icloud. I'm really confused on what to do. Any help is appreciated!

    Use personal email or spam email to make Apple ID?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 09:01 PM PDT

    I have been an android user all my life, recently purchased an Iphone, i want to make an apple ID with gmail, the problem is i have 2 . One for spam- meaning i sign up with newsletters, signing up for websites and apps and other miscellenous stuff. The other i use for all my banking and personal information including message friends and family and it has the most contacts linked to it.

    Which one should i use to make my apple ID, and if i use my personal one can it be compromised in any way? also i do not want too much spam on my personal one if i do go to that route, will i get emails from the apps i download from the app store?

    Thanks in advance

    Just purchased an iPad Pro 2020 and my photos aren’t there!

    Posted: 27 May 2020 05:10 PM PDT

    I just unboxed and signed into my new iPad with the same Apple ID for it and my iPhone. With my previous iPad all the photos synced between the devices effortlessly - even the ones I hadn't downloaded from my iCloud at least appeared in both Photos apps. But for some reason images on either device don't appear in the other's Photos app.

    This is my first time upgrading a device before, so if it's something really obvious I'm sorry for wasting your time!

    Thanks for the responses!

    Airplay from MacBook to TV "Used As Separate Display"; is it possible to run a screensaver on my MacBook but NOT on my TV/separate display?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 08:53 PM PDT

    So while Airplaying to my TV (via Apple TV) from my MacBook, using the TV "as a separate display" (a second screen, NOT mirroring), I would like to be able to watch a video on my TV and then have a screensaver going on my MacBook.

    Currently, whenever I try to do this, the screensaver instead appears on both screens, overriding whatever video I had going (I can hear the video still playing in the background but the TV's display is overtaken by the MacBooks's screensaver).

    Is there any way to keep the screensaver only on the MacBook, and leave the "separate display" alone?

    Thanks!

    Need help accessing music files and photos from 2008 MacBook that won’t turn on anymore

    Posted: 27 May 2020 08:20 PM PDT

    I used to make a lot of music with GarageBand back in 2008-2012 but I stupidly never thought my Mac would die on me since I took care great care of it so I never made backups of my music, iTunes library , or pictures and documents.

    Those music files and pics are my high school memories and I would love to have them again but at this point it seems impossible? I recently decided to boot up my Mac to listen to some of the music but it won't turn on. The white light on the keyboard front end that indicates it's asleep turns on but that's it, the actual screen stays black. I've tried removing the battery and booting it up but it's the same .

    My question is, is there anyway i can take out the hard drive and move it to another computer in order to access the files? Well, is there anyway I can access those files again or will they just become lost memories of the good days? 😞

    Thank you guys for any help! Just for reference it's a black 13inch MacBook from 2008. The last time i used it and it worked was 2017 I believe but even then the battery was already dead so I had to use it plugged in to the wall outlet with the battery removed .

    Again, thank you for any help or advice!

    My iPhone's "Contacts" app won't let me change a #'s label from "Mobile" to "iPhone".

    Posted: 27 May 2020 08:15 PM PDT

    I finally convinced my friend to upgrade from a flip phone to the new iPhone SE.

    When I go into my iPhone (11 Pro running iOS 13.5) "Contacts" app and try to change his # from "mobile" to "iPhone", it changes back to "mobile" when I tap "Done" to save my edit. This is repeatable.

    I figured the problem was on his end; that Apple doesn't think his # is an iPhone. So I went thru this procedure:

    I had him turn iMessage off, rebooted his iPhone, then turned iMessage back on again.

    No go; my iPhone still refuses to admit his # is an iPhone.

    So now I'm not 100% sure the problem is on his phone; I guess it could be my iPhone? But iMessage is working for everyone else I'm corresponding with.

    Thanks for any ideas how to proceed, even though admittedly this is a minor problem.

    Setting up an Ethernet connection for my 2016 MacBook Pro

    Posted: 27 May 2020 02:00 PM PDT

    I recently bought a third party usbc to Ethernet adapter. I have it plugged into my MacBook as well as to a stable internet connection, and it is not picking up or recognized by my Mac?

    Is there a new network configuration or something I need to create to be able to use my Mac off WiFi and only via Ethernet? Thanks!

    Why am i getting new browser tab notifications between ipad and macbook?

    Posted: 27 May 2020 01:58 PM PDT

    I recently noticed that whenever i open a new tab (chrome or safari) on my mac i get a taskbar notification that a new window is open on my ipad. Same happens if i open a new safari tab on my ipad, i get a taskbar notification on my mac (see below). Can anyone tell me which sync settings is causing this to happen? Since the ipad is a whole family device i would rather that the tabs dont be synced.
