    Apple Help problem with my Iphone usb cable

    Apple Help problem with my Iphone usb cable


    problem with my Iphone usb cable

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:50 AM PDT

    Wifi is so bad my phone invites me to use cellular, but I'm getting 300/150 on my Mac on the same band.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 09:07 PM PDT

    The iPhone is a few rooms over, however not bad enough for signal strength to be an issue, and it doesn't seem to behave differently when I move it close. And it's highly intermittent - most days I can pull 300/150 all over the house, but some days the phone and iPad are slow, the Mac laptop is never slow. It's a Netgear AC router, a few years old but perfectly modern and normally functions great. It just does this once in a while. The Apple TV is also in the living room and on the same wifi and seldom has a problem. Right this moment, I've got Spotify on my iPad airplaying to the Apple TV and it's choppy as hell; again, normally I an airplay to it from any device anywhere in the house no problem.

    The fact that it's on the iPad as well as the iPhone is the only reason I suspect the problem is external to the phone.

    Can someone recommend a starting point for troubleshooting this?

    Speakers pop when air conditioning goes on & off - macpro. Help!

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:40 PM PDT

    I have a 2012 macpro running osx 10.12 and I also have a set of Klipsch speakers that are 2 speakers and one sub.

    Whenever my air conditioning flips on it causes the speakers to make a single bad "pop" noise. This also happens when I have something like a small fan plugged in near the computer and I turn the fan on. The speakers are plugged into the rear headphone jack on the computer.

    It seems to be some kind of electrical surge that creates this. Despite the fact that I have everything plugged into a surge protector/battery back up.

    It has to have something to do with the tower or the audio card in the tower I think. Same setup and speakers on my iMac never had this problem.

    Is there any way to stop this? Thanks!

    Help: I can't draw straight wiggling-free lines with Apple Pencil 1 on iPad Pro 9.7"

    iPhone 11 Pro (iOS 13.4.1) not receiving notifications for texts and automatically marking as read.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    In the past few days I've noticed that my phone is receiving texts and not pushing through notifications or marking them as unread. Nothing is on do not disturb and I've checked other settings. I've been in the message app and watch conversations update the most recent message but with no unread dot or vibrate.

    Anyone have any suggestions or experiencing this as well?

    someone came to my apartment and told me that IFind said i have their air pods

    Posted: 13 May 2020 12:08 AM PDT

    So this was really weird. She comes to my apartment and says this to my dad who then slams the door in her face and they both call 911 and have some cops come down here. I know its impossible that we have them since i've only left the apartment in the last two weeks to go get ice and go to the post office and my dad hates earbuds and owns industrial size headphones that cost like 300 dollars. He's also pretty old and wasn't even aware of what air pods were and i know he would never pick up random ear buds on the ground. My question is, how can she know its in my apartment? There's two apartments below me and one above me. I'm not really scared of anything happening since i know we don't have them. Also is this a glitch that happens?

    edit: were also both android users so none of us have iphones in the house to set off that Ifind alert.

    Haaalp!! Idk what this is about. It just popped up. Google lead me to sites that said to make a change in the iCloud. I did that and nothing...I’d really not like to restore it �� TIA!

    Road warrior turned WFH and things are....weird.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 06:59 PM PDT

    Looking for some assistance:

    I have a 2019 12 inch Macbook. 16G RAM, 500G SSD i5 on Catalina 10.15.4

    I'm connected to a display, ASUS PA24AC 24.1" (16:10) Monitor WUXGA 1920 x 1200 HDR

    using a Hyperdrive https://www.hypershop.com/collections/usb-c-hubs/products/hyperdrive-solo-hub-for-usb-c-macbook-pc-devices?variant=890945634329

    Sometimes I connect with HDMI other times with USBC to the external display.

    I have a home network totally built on Unifi platform and my laptop now consistently gets -54 dBm signal on a 2.4 Ghz channel. I'm consistently getting 150 Mbs down with 10 up. Latency ping to google.com is generally under 50 ms usually like 10 or 20 ms.

    Things run smooth right up until I run Go To Meeting, or google (not sure the video conference name) and things start to get weird. Audio breaking up, video has delays, but all inconsistently. I thought it was a bluetooth issue, so switched to a Plantronics USB wired headset connected to the Hyperdrive but after 2-4 hours things seem to get worse. Best performance seems to be in the morning just driving the display from hyperdrive and HDMI using AirPod Pro for audio for conference calls.

    I'm starting to think my laptop isn't powerful enough to drive the external monitor and the video calls? I've definitely gotten the 'laptop has to throttle message' but not every time I encounter issues.

    I'm also consistently running 5 tabs of Safari, 1-5 tabs on Chrome, Outlook, Notes, Messages, Mail, Teams, and Stocks. Generally never had performance issues before but I never use to do this much video conferencing. Do I need to upgrade my laptop? (I love the small form factor) I've mostly focused on network issues but I've exhausted all options. The bandwidth and signal seem pretty tight. Thoughts? Places to look next?

    iPhone 11 Pro Cameras Hurt Teeth

    Posted: 13 May 2020 09:36 PM PDT

    Okay hear me out... I'm not sure if I'm the only one but while bored I'll sometimes just kinda nibble on my phone. Think of it like a fidget toy I guess. Well this time I did it and I put my teeth over the cameras and, in certain positions, it feels like electricity starts going through my teeth and causing pain. Then when I take them off it disappears. I was able to recreate this many times. Has anyone else noticed this? Or is anyone else willing to try? Thanks!

    Ordering online from Apple Au atm? Long wait time?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:50 PM PDT

    Is it true that if you order anything (specifically an iMac computer with upgrades) from Apple Australia there could be up to 6 month wait because of CVID-19 ?

    My mum rang harvey norman and good guys and they said don't bother ordering anything from apple cause we cant order anything from them as there is 6 month wait due to virus, and that they only have minimal stock left and are running out of stock and to come get computer now before they run out. Are they just saying this because they want us to buy from them and not apple, or is it true. You think they would have ran out of stock already if that was the case.

    Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C type.. how to convert?

    Posted: 13 May 2020 08:06 PM PDT

    Hey guys - I have a MacBook Pro 2015 late model for personal use and a MacBook Pro with the touch bar for work. I bought this dock that has a USB-C outlet so it connects with the work laptop fine but not with my personal laptop. The main purpose of using the dock is to have one connection to 2 displays and multiple USB ports. I found some product like this -Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.. I just need something reverse of this would work perfectly.

    Any suggestion?

    Adware Infected my Mac! Help!

    Posted: 13 May 2020 04:18 PM PDT

    Recently I have picked up some adware, and I was wondering if I could get some insight in how to stop it. Issue started a couple of days ago. It redirects me to random websites all leading back to articles on ppcorn (dot) com. They all seem clickbait by nature and not something I would look at. There is a similar thread on /r/brave_browser here that addresses some of the same issues (though the adware seems to be on OSX and not exclusive to any browser)

    Model Info

    2016 MacBook Pro 15-inch

    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7

    Raedon Pro 460 4 GB

    Intel HD Graphics 530 1536 MB

    OS: Mojave 10.14.6

    The adware in question hides popup windows in the corner of the monitor off screen. All popups have to relate with ppcorn (dot) com, along with some other redirect websites. This is the page I keep seeing come up, but when I try to re search for the page using my browser's search bar's dropdown menu it shows some other websites related to the search. 1 2 3 The popup repeats opening maybe once every couple of hours.

    I scanned my computer with Malwarebytes & Avast Security, both to no avail. I am currently going through and manually looking up all processes in Activity Monitor to see what might be off/unwanted. I don't have any Chrome extensions I have any reason to distrust (uBlock Origin, RES, Betternet VPN), so I believe it is somewhere on my computer, though if I'm wrong please let me know.

    Any insight into how to possibly remedy this issue is much appreciated. If you need any other information please let me know. Thank you so much for any help you can give!

    Apple ID not signing in, not able to access apps, says storage is full but it does not add up

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:55 PM PDT

    IPhone 6s, iOS 10.0.2

    I noticed that my phone has been running a bit more sluggishly recently. I was on reddit earlier today and it randomly kicked me out of my reddit account. When I tried to log back in, it would not let me back in despite my credentials being correct. It then popped up that I needed to sign into my Apple account and iCloud. Even with correct credentials, it does not work. I have been close to full on my storage for a while and initially thought that was the source of the problem, but after adding up all of the storage usage, it is almost 30 GB less than what it says I am using. Any help is appreciated.

    Edit: I was logged out of most apps that I have accounts in. They all work now except reddit and spotify so far

    Trouble restoring a backup on new iPhone SE

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:41 PM PDT

    I just got the new iPhone SE and I'm having some issues restoring the backup off my MacBook.

    I backed up my old iPhone 6 just before getting the new phone. I went through the setup until it got to the options where I chose to restore from Mac or PC. I press that, and it says to connect it to a Mac or PC with iTunes. I do that, and the new iPhone appears on my Mac. I go through the steps of selecting a backup, and once I accept the Terms and Conditions, the goes back to saying connect to a Mac it PC and the Finder on my Mac stops showing the new phone.

    So I tried doing the transfer directly from my old iphone. I get through the step where it has me move the blue circle barcode thing into the camera, then my old iPhone says to finish setup on the new one. The new one will once again ask me for passcode and Touch ID choices, then immediately revert back to the introductory "Hello" screen.

    Any help?

    I dont know which MacBook to get

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:28 PM PDT

    Im going back to school in the fall to finish my Cyber Security degree after stopping in 2018. I have a desktop at home that I have used for everything. (8600k OC'ed to 5Ghz 16GB 3000Mhz Ram and a GTX 1070) Just for reference. My next set of classes are about linux & virtualization. I know that Ill need a quad core so the base Air is out and I know that I really should have 16GB of RAM, ideally 32GB, but that gets kinda pricey.

    So I'm torn on getting a upgraded Air (Quad core and 16GB RAM because its a 10th Gen CPU, even though its the low powered CPU

    Or getting a Pro with the 8th Gen CPU and 16GB of RAM, but i dont really know if the 256GB storage will be enough. I'll be running at least 2 but probably 3 versions of Linux and a copy of Windows 10, so I'm thinking about getting the 512GB storage. At that point I might as well go for the top end 13in Pro because it comes with the ram and storage I want AND the 10th Gen CPU for only a little more.

    What do you think?

    Is the CPU a huge deal with virtualization? would the 10th Gen CPU be THAT much of a difference in my use case? I plan on using this computer of the remainder of my college career.

    iMac Keyboard is Laggy on Bluetooth

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:20 PM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    Weird problem...my iMac keyboard has been super laggy recently and when I plug it in there is no lag whatsoever. When I'm using it plugged into my Mac it works perfectly but when I use it via bluetooth there is a significant lag. I've had the computer and keyboard for about a year and haven't noticed this until recently. Could this be a hardware issue?

    Also use a Bluetooth Magic Mouse with no issues

    Thanks!!

    Upgraded from iPad 6 to iPad 7. Huge drop in performance.

    Posted: 13 May 2020 07:09 PM PDT

    Hello,

    Recently my son broke his iPad 6 and it was replaced with an iPad 7. All the games he was playing regularly, prior to damaging his old device, are virtually unplayable.

    • The device software is up to date (13.4.1)
    • I have deleted almost ever app off the device, except for the few games he is playing.
    • he is playing Minecraft PE and a few other games. All of them are very "laggy". Screen stuttering.... he never had this issue on his old device. I have set all the video setting to minimum in the games to see if that would help the performance.

    The only thing I have not tried is a hard factory reset.

    My iPod is unresponsive sometimes and the software is glitchy is this on purpose

    Posted: 13 May 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    I have an iPod touch that was brand new on Christmas 2018 and it's running iOS 11.2.6 and it's always been glitchy, like sometimes it'll randomly reset itself (which is really annoying when I'm listening to music while driving) and sometimes I have to push the home button twice or more before it'll respond and even the screen gets unresponsive and I have to tap it harder to get it to do what I want. It's been like this for the entente year and a half I've had it. Why is it like this? Does Apple make the iPod touch terrible on purpose?

    I'd put my music on my old iPod nano but it doesn't have enough storage....If I could find a nice refurbished iPod classic with enough storage to fit my some 1500 songs with room for more I'd get that and move my tv shows to my phone

    [Question] Possible Used iPhone made to look New in Box (LOTs of details)

    Posted: 13 May 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    First let me set a couple things up: I know this is a LEGIT Apple iPhone, not an android fake. I believe it might have been an "open box" situation, that they resealed, or a used iPhone that they cleaned up and repackaged as new. I am unable to find if this is a scam, as everybody's mentioning the fake iPhones. Again, this IS an iPhone, some things were super suspicious though. I have never owned a new in box iphone so I don't know what to suspect, so I'm going to go a little crazy with this lol. Please bear with me.

    I BOLDED KEY INFO. Please remember I have no clue what to look for when it comes to official Apple packaging.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I bought a "new in box" iPhone 7 on ebay. After getting to the box itself, It was shrink-wrapped (I know it's super easy to shrink-wrap stuff yourself and resell it). it did NOT have a plastic tab on it, like the one below (I don't know if this is suspicious or not lol, I believe I've seen unboxings with this, simply mentioning it to be complete).

    Yeah I know it's minor, just one of the first things I noticed

    https://preview.redd.it/iicjnzxp1ly41.png?width=1123&format=png&auto=webp&s=225d7fc9e5801e1c8da9da52b270097a82b49ea1

    The box itself had two stickers on the bottom, printed on transparent plastic (I pulled one up a little to make sure they weren't covering something) with the info on them. Not sure if this is suspicious, simply mentioning to be complete.

    https://preview.redd.it/dkgru1br1ly41.png?width=1197&format=png&auto=webp&s=632490cc7dca111c3c5cf1e1491dacc8d8452fcb

    https://preview.redd.it/egriw00u1ly41.png?width=1429&format=png&auto=webp&s=707a58c565339742643740a7142557bbb1bee839

    The box was somewhat difficult to open, it didn't slide out like I've seen on unboxings. I was slightly concerned here (I've heard people rant about how if the box doesn't sliiiiiiiide open then something's up, again, don't have a clue just saying what I've heard).

    Once open, I checked the documentation for any weird shit. Bingo. The documentation looked... official enough (I cannot find scans of the official documents to compare), however mentioned wireless charging.

    https://preview.redd.it/ep3kjoww1ly41.png?width=1040&format=png&auto=webp&s=091e3385a19e878a5506601f2b95302fa311a532

    https://preview.redd.it/1obly4692ly41.png?width=1098&format=png&auto=webp&s=d15c6e53539549f91ad4bdab647c84d39fcd4e8a

    Red flag. I don't think apple misprinted it (can't verify though cuz can't find scans of documentation), I believe the seller threw in iPhone 8 documentation because it was close enough, and people don't check.

    https://preview.redd.it/rlucpu8f2ly41.png?width=1069&format=png&auto=webp&s=11591f4329bb7e34ae129be678e7160c20aa95bb

    https://preview.redd.it/9o3wmk4g2ly41.png?width=1089&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c56987e5c9d252f68da75d0897a33d9dfa4ce02

    Nothing stood out as misspelled or strange about the above documentation. The paper did have slightly rough edges though.

    Earpods with Lightning connector, not 3.5mm to lightning adapter. Had mic and remote. They sound good, I've had cheap knockoffs, these aren't those. Remote is clicky like the cheapo knockoffs though, not slightly mushy, not sure if that's suspicious. They do NOT have plastic wrap on them, they did have paper sleeves though.

    Lightning cable looked slightly rough.

    https://preview.redd.it/xuvh1ugc2ly41.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca36f1d20b29d80a9cf7ec4008a7607cf930d396

    https://preview.redd.it/qmter0uc2ly41.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e7394bcf324d8944ab4e94718f29cbacbb15c5b

    iPhone was on IOS 13.3, which another red flag for me. That's a much newer iOS afaik than they'd ship with right?

    Anyways, It activated (I wanted to use it for these pics lol), I checked the warranty, which says this:

    For all I know that could be when the seller bought it "new". Am I in denial? yeah...

    After doing more digging around it, I'm almost certain it was a resold as new iPhone.

    I guess what I'm wondering is: Have I most definitely been bamboozled, is there anything I can do to guarantee I get a full refund (I paid almost $300, could have bought a "new open box" one for like $180), and what can I do to ensure this seller doesn't sell more like this?
