    Monterey: Is there a way to turn off the notification for Do Not Disturb?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 10:05 PM PDT

    For years, I've had Do Not Disturb set to kick in at 10pm. Ever since I upgraded to Monterey, I've been getting a notification when it turns on. I don't want a notification. Is there a way to turn off the Do Not Disturb notification in Monterey?

    I find it ironic that Do Not Disturb is determined to disturb me every night when it turns on.

    HomePod sound fix

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 06:13 AM PDT

    I just wanted to post this real quick, because it's been a huge issue for me and seemingly a lot of other HomePod ( OG or Mini ) users.

    For anyone else whose HomePod turned into a literal trash can recently, with a significant loss in bass and overall volume, seemingly muddy mix in tracks that previously sounded amazing on this great speaker, or inconsistencies in instrument/ vocals volume and whatnot, it is all because of Dolby Atmos.

    Yup, that 'revolutionary' standard is making your beautiful sounding HomePod sound like garbage.

    Over the last few days I've noticed all of the 'symptoms' that I mentioned earlier while playing music on my HomePod, tracks that I've been listening to for almost a year, which is how long I've owned the speaker now. I've been relentlessly trying to find out why, I initially correctly assumed that it would be because of Dolby Atmos, the Lossless audio feature, or Spatial Audio or something like that, so I immediately jumped into the Apple Music settings and turned all of those off, but no fix. I noticed the 'Dolby Atmos' tag was still showing while playing some tracks. Then I also tried resetting the HomePod and repairing it, but same lack of result.

    Today I found this article on how to turn Dolby Atmos on from the Home app, and wouldn't you know it, my toggle was on by default.

    https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/enable-spatial-audio-lossless-homepod/

    Follow the guide on this link and toggle Dolby Atmos off. It'll restore the sound of the HomePod.

    Thank god I found this cause I was becoming really worried I would have to give up on my HomePod, it was actually that bad. I don't understand how Apple affords to roll out this option when it sounds so terrible.

    Thanks for reading this and have a good day. Hopefully your HomePods are back to normal too.

    I have a question about regarding the file system on my IPhone 6. What happens if I download a PC or computer only file from a webpage/website in Safari and open it in the Safari download manager or in the Files App????

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 10:34 PM PDT

    Note: I had to repost this because I got the wrong flair and I didnt want any confusion so sorry for the repost. anyways back to my question.

    I dont use Safari for these kind of stuff alot in my IPhone so I'm gonna ask this question out of curiosity. So back to the topic, what happens if I open a PC/computer only file that I downloaded from a webpage/website on Safari? Will it actually open, can I view or do something in it?? Or will my IPhone display a message/pop up saying it cannot be opened or doesnt work with IPhones?? If so, how does the message or pop up look like??? Again, I dont do this stuff on Safari alot on my IPhone and I'm just new to the file system on IPhones so I'm just asking to know more about these stuff and to know more about IOS since I mostly all the time use my IPhone only for the Youtube app, mobile games and chat messages.

    Why is my 7th gen ipad taking so long to charge with a 12W charger?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 10:26 PM PDT

    I don't think the issue is with the charger. Because whenever my sister uses it, it takes about 2hours to fully charge but whenever I do it takes me about 5 hours

    iCloud bookmarks creating hundreds of duplicate bookmarks on Chrome for Windows 10.

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 09:41 PM PDT

    I'm using iCloud to sync my bookmarks from Chrome on Windows to Safari on my iPad.

    In the last few weeks iCloud has been creating hundreds(!) of copies of 2-3 bookmarks. It picks 2 or 3 different bookmarks, and makes hundreds of copies on those 2-3 bookmarks, not 2-3 copies of hundreds of different bookmarks, and not the same 2-3 bookmarks each time. Seems to be random but favours bookmarks created in the last couple of years or so.

    So many copies that Chrome has trouble opening the bookmarks folder as there are so many bookmarks. I went from maybe 30 sites listed in a single folder, to 200-500+.

    I can use Chrome's bookmark manger to go and manually delete all the dupes but I've having to do that every day or so when I find yet another seemingly random folder with hundreds of dupes in it.

    Example of problem in Chrome's bookmarks menu. That list scrolls for several pages worth of copies of that one saved bookmark.

    I'm using:

    • Windows 10.0.19042 (64-bit)
    • Chrome Version 95.0.4638.54 (Official Build) (64-bit)
    • iCloud Bookmarks extension for Chrome Version 2.1.2
    • iCloud for Windows 12.5
    • iPad OS 14.8.1 & Safari

    Are my files encrypted using this method? (Older Macbook and Time Machine)

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 09:39 PM PDT

    I have an external hard drive that has a few time machine backups. Originally it was unencrypted. After doing the full backups of the drive, I went to encrypt it and followed this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/305540/how-to-encrypt-your-macs-time-machine-backup/

    I followed "The Slow, But Non-Destructive Option: Encrypt Your Current Backups" AKA encryption through the TIME MACHINE APP and clicking the little checkbox that says "encrypt backups".

    As soon as I entered a password and hint, Time Machine turned On and siad "preparing to backup" instead of the expected "Encrypting..." message. Note: I am on an older OS than the one in the article. I immediately turned off Time Machine as I did not want a backup of the state the macbook was in at the moment. Then I unplugged the external hard drive and plugged it back into my macbook. The external drive asks for a password.

    This appears to be what I wanted but it did not take even 2 minutes to encrypt, if it did encrypt, which is very weird. The backup is at least 100GB btw. Are my files/time machine backups/drive encrypted? (files and backups in the external drive, I mean). Or can someone still access the files without the password I set, if they were to get a hold of my external drive?

    Water damage charging port

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 08:36 PM PDT

    I dropped my phone in the water for like 2 seconds. It works completely fine but the charging port won't charge. I'm going to leave it out for a day like apple says, but what is the likelihood I have to get it repaired?

    MacBook Air student purchase!

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 08:30 PM PDT

    Hey guys recently I went to purchase a MacBook Air in September. Upon purchasing and talking with an employee about tight funds he told me to not rush into it and that the free AirPod deal is active from September to the end of October. So after trusting this fellow thinking he obviously knows the correct information as an employee, I came back today to buy the MacBook Air. New employee I'm now dealing with as I never got a name from the original fellow. Long story short they tell me that that offer ended sept 27 and that there sorry that the employee told me the wrong info. I know this is a long shot but I'm so bummed about missing on the AirPods is there anything I can do or report this to Apple. I know I should have checked this info myself but it coming from the Apple store employee I never thought it would be wrong. Thanks

    Mac Pro 2010 SOS

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 08:27 PM PDT

    2010 Mac Pro with SSD boot drive. Upgraded from High Sierra to Mojave. Had a variety of issues and decided to wipe and reinstall Mojave…

    Now I'm in major trouble.

    Computer doesn't recognize SSD. I cannot boot into recovery or safe mode, it's as if my keyboard is no longer recognized. I've tried multiple USB ports to no avail. I also tried Internet recovery (option, command, R) still no response.

    All I get is the "?" Folder.

    Can anything at all be done?

    New iPhone gaming haptics

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 07:40 PM PDT

    I recently got an iPhone XR and some of the games no longer vibrate when playing. For example, on my old phone the game Falling Ballz used to vibrate when the balls hit the targets and now it does not. I have looked everywhere and can't figure out how to turn it back on. TIA

    AirPods 3 - looking for confirmation

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 03:51 PM PDT

    I purchased the 3rd gen AirPods and have two scenarios I'd like to confirm with other users…

    1. Does your cap wobble slightly when the case is closed? I'm finding when the case is closed it's not tight like my 2nd gen or pros that my wife has. It slightly wobbles. Not sure it's related but also find that by leaning the case forward it doesn't auto close the lid like it does on my others (prev gen)

    2. Has everyone been having success charging this in wireless pads? My pad shows it's charging but the case battery does not seem to be taking charge. Prev gen working find as well as my phones… should add I see the orange light come in when first touching the pad but then it goes away while pad still showing an active charge light

    Thanks in advance

    Assistance with iCloud needed

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 07:35 PM PDT

    iCloud photos disappeared from camera roll

    Hey guys! I recently moved countries, and have had a ton of associated issues with my Apple ID. Firstly, I switched the location of my Apple ID and changed the billing information from my prior country's credit card to an American credit card. Yet, the App Store is still not changing to an American one. Furthermore, a month ago, I cancelled my previous credit card but failed to update iCloud details. I had a 50 GB iCloud subscription, which filled up and once the credit card was cancelled and payments could no longer be made, all the photos in my camera roll that were backed up on iCloud simply disappeared. I have no clue how to get them back. How do I sort out this mess?

    Is there a way to remove the tab, caps lock, and shift keys from the iPad Pro 11in software keyboard? I'm coming from a 10.5in which didn't have these and I don't like them so figured I'd check.

    big sur update on 2015 MacBook air

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 07:26 PM PDT

    Help! Tried to install big sur on my 2015 MacBook air. Stalled out during install so I turned it off and then on again. Now stuck at my personal login. About 75% but won't install further. What can I do? Pretty sure I'm going from Catalina to BS but not sure and not sure how to check. I had just installed another OS the night before but was prompted to install BS the next time I logged in.

    Contacts desynced during Focus

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 06:56 PM PDT

    Some of my contacts - some of which I've had for years - are desynced from their message threads during Focus. The message thread will have the right name, picture, phone number, and notes, but will say that because the person isn't in my contacts I can't talk to them during focus. This issue is exclusive to my iPhone 12 Mini, my iPad and MacBook Air 2020 have no issues. I've tried restoring my phone and it doesn't work. Anyone know what's going on?

    Replace MacBook displays (2017 & 2020 13”)

    Posted: 31 Oct 2021 06:49 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 (2 thunderbolt) which I spilt liquid on so the motherboard (I assume) is broken. I assume that the display (top half of the MacBook) is still functioning, please correct me if I'm wrong in assuming this.

    Since my MacBook 2017 doesn't work I got a MacBook Pro 2020 13" (2 thunderbolt). But I dropped this new MacBook and the display is broken. I have been using my 2020 MacBook with a monitor but now I'm thinking maybe I could replace my 2020 MacBook screen/display with the 2017 MacBook display.

    Does anyone know if the screen on a MacBook Pro from 2017 is compatible with the MacBook Pro from 2020?
