    Brother died - help saving Apple playlists

    Posted: 31 May 2020 07:16 AM PDT

    Deceased brothers shared playlists - will I lose access to them?

    My brother shared several playlists with me and I'm so worried I'll eventually lose them. I have access to his iPad. I have his iTunes and Apple password. Outside of the ones he shared with me, he has probably 20 other ones that I'd hate to lose as well.

    Is there an easy way to ensure I have those playlists? If his account gets closed, do we lose even the shared ones?

    His death was very much unexpected. I'm making progress with his physical estate (which is hard enough) but don't want to forget about all the digital stuff too.

    Thanks in advance

    I (android user) am gifting an iPhone to a chile, for use as a WiFi device. What do I need to succeed?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 06:19 PM PDT

    ... to a child (not a pepper)

    I am giving an iPhone 5 SE to a 6 year old so that she can FaceTime with her distant relatives. Her parents are Android users, and don't know apple/iphones.

    The 5SE will be used only as a wifi device. FaceTime and games, that's all.

    • What is an AppleID ? Will I need one ?
    • Is this plan going to work?
    • Any suggestions that would make sure it works best?

    Thanks.

    Edit: distant relatives are Apple users, but the parents (who will be setting up) are Android users

    Possible to save photos from busted iPod Touch 5th gen.'s Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01 chip?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 07:20 PM PDT

    Hi guys, so I really need some expert advice. About 5 years ago, my wife tried cleaning the charging port of her iPod Touch 5th gen., sadly, with a sewing needle. Somehow it bent one of the pins and she could never charge it again. She lost all of her photos of her family whom she hasn't seen in 5 years since moving from the UK to the US. Fast forward a few years and I tried replacing the flex cable - about three times, all with no luck. I was crap at soldering and didn't have the right tools - the old flex was melted onto the logic board and I couldn't remove it without scraping it off with a small blade, screwing up the pads. The new flex wouldn't take because of the flux I used (it was the wrong kind), so the solder kept repelling into bubbles and it all ended up in one chunk of a line, with the flex on top, and another lump of solder holding it together. Horrible, I know. There was, however, continuity between the flex on the logic board and the charging port, so I thought there was hope. The battery was tested with my battery tester and was able to receive charge from the flex, as it was fully charged, but the device wouldn't show on the computer, or power up at all. I started to think if that was a dead end, maybe the Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01 could be desoldered and placed on a donor board, but I read that all of the data on there is encrypted within the chips on that specific logic board, and I read conflicting info about whether or not the key to decrypting it lies with that Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01 flash chip, or another chip on the board (like a lock and key).

    So my question is basically this: is there any way to save these photos off of this chip? If I was able to charge the battery, surely something is working with the flex? Or maybe one point is not soldered properly, causing the issue... Can I possibly desolder the chip(s) with the encryption and decryption info onto a working logic board (if the logic board is the issue from being heated too much during the flex cable replacement)? Any advice would be really appreciated, as I am at a dead end and I really want to help my wife recover her family photos. Thanks.

    Connecting two Monitors to MacBook Pro

    Posted: 31 May 2020 07:23 PM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to set my family member up for remote work, and am running into some issues getting two external monitors, which are identical Insignia TVs, to both be recognized by the laptop. Currently, I'm using a USB-C to dual HDMI splitter, with both TVs connected via HDMI cables to the splitter. The splitter is supposed to support two individual displays. When the splitter is plugged in to the laptop, the two individual screens are recognized as one. If I try to setup the monitors as individuals windows, so different things can be open on each, the laptop acts as the first window and both monitors as the second. I've attached links to photos showing the situation Essentially, it seems like the laptop thinks both monitors are the same.

    So far, I have tried:

    Unplugging and plugging back in the splitter and HDMI cables Clicking "detect displays" in settings Restarting the laptop Other small tweaks in settings

    Nothing has worked so far. If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated. Is it even possible to connect two displays to a MacBook in this fashion?

    Thanks very much.

    How to prevent background noises from filtering into my video calls?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 10:30 PM PDT

    I live in quite a noisy environment and these background noises are filtering into my video call.

    I own an iPhone 11 Pro (13.5), an AirPod pro and a 16" Mac (10.15.4) and I was wondering if there's anyway I can tweak any of these devices to ignore background noises.

    How to add another Mac OS onto an existing Mac

    Posted: 31 May 2020 06:16 PM PDT

    I recently updated the OS on my 2014 Mac Air to the latest OS, not realizing that Apple was going to screw us over with the dropped support of 32-bit games. (TF2, anyone?) I wanted to install the previous Mac OS on my computer, and I have already made a separate APFS volume, but I am unsure how to proceed from here. Any help would be appreciated.

    I want to keep Mac OS Catilina, but I want to be able to switch over to the previous OS when I want to play TF2. Thanks.

    Problem copying Photos library from one external HD to another

    Posted: 31 May 2020 09:43 PM PDT

    I've done this dozens of times over the years with no problem. This time whenever I try to copy a Photos library from one external HD to another I get to within .5GB completion and then get an error message that says it cannot copy the library because another one of the same name already exists. Of course it doesn't. Anyone have any advice or similar experience on this?

    Thanks!

    iTunes TV 1080p looks worse than Netflix 1080p?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 08:45 PM PDT

    Am I losing my mind? Is it possible that the 1080p version of a TV show I bought on iTunes/Apple (The West Wing) is lower quality than the Netflix 1080p version?

    The iTunes version looks blurrier than the Netflix one.

    Thanks

    Does anyone know what the apple equivalent to data saver is on android? I put low data mode on and it’s absolutely useless. Watching a YouTube video on my Android phone would use less than a gig while watching on my iPhone would use more than 2.

    Posted: 31 May 2020 08:14 PM PDT

    I connected my Xbox to my hotspot and it's used only 17 mb while I'm playing a game online but when I use Reddit today it used like 7GB.

    Hoping for brief explanation of Photos on my Mac and iOS

    Posted: 31 May 2020 08:14 PM PDT

    Man, years and years of taking photos, and not necessarily keeping them organized as I went, plus about 5 years of photos that got imported into iPhoto that were not taken on an iOS device.

    I am desperately trying to make sense of my photo situation, so I don't lose anything, but also free up space, and just feel more organized.

    I have my stuff setup so that if I take a photo on my iPhone, it will appear in the photo library on my iPad, and on my iMac.

    Now it seems as if any photo that appears on my iMac photo library, stays there. Now if I were to delete the photo on my iPhone, I would get the warning message that says this item will be deleted from all devices logged in to this iCloud account or whatever. But it doesn't seem to disappear from the photo library on my iMac.

    So does every single photo that gets taken on an iPhone or iPad, get downloaded to the Mac that is linked to that account, but it stays on on the Mac permanently? I am so confused.

    I can't make an iCloud Save on my iPhone because it never ends

    Posted: 31 May 2020 07:09 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I don't know why when I try to make an iCloud Save on my iPhone (iOS 13.5), it never ends. The remaining time continues to increase (more than 20 hours for now).

    I have enough space for an iCloud Save. Do you know how to fix this ?

    Transferring music to get it on an ipad

    Posted: 31 May 2020 06:02 PM PDT

    I have a large bandcamp collection only in FLAC. If I redownload everything in ALAC, put it into the iTunes music folder, wait for the library to populate and finish in iTunes showing all of it there...

    Is that also in iCloud for me to access on my ipad or is it only locally available on that particular PC?

    EDIT: never mind. selling my ipad. the hassle i have to go thru is ridiculous. i have to pay apple for itunes match, 21.99 a year, just to be able to access anything i upload to itunes on my PC (of which i have already purchased off bandcamp) on my ipad. i can download the zip file on the ipad directly, unzip it, and listen to each individual track on a shitty basic music file player but cant get it anywhere into apple music app. this is a load of horseshit.

    on my s10 plus or on my pc i just download what ive bought, put the files and folders into the right place, and use whatever music player i want to listen. the shit i have to go thru to have the same experience on my ipad is gonna cost me more money than i care to give apple any further. bye.

    Just found out that an event I set for June 15 has somehow been placed on every single day after that for the rest of time. How do I remove them all without having to just remove a bunch individually?

    How Waterproof is the IPhone SE 2020?

    Posted: 31 May 2020 02:01 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I recently got a new iPhone SE, I read that it is water resistant but I don't really know how safe it use around water. For example can I take underwater photos or videos, or even just use it in the shower? I don't want to test for fear of breaking the phone. Anyone with experience in this I would appreciate any information!
