    How do I stop my Mail app from randomly popping up on my MacBook?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    MacBook Pro 13 inch 2017: Catalina (but has happened my entire time having this laptop regardless of updates)

    I never 'quit' my mail app on my laptop Bc I need to see when I get a new email, however one of my accounts randomly goes "offline" for who knows what reason. Every single time this happens when I'm on my laptop (and it happens A LOT) the mail app pops up on the screen and takes me away from whatever I'm working on. Even when I'm watching Netflix full screen, it moves Netflix to half screen and the mail app takes up the other half. If I'm typing, it gets in the way of my document and doesn't let me type. Also if I exit out of the mail screen before that account goes back online, it keeps popping up until it's online again (which typically is only a few seconds but regardless SO f*cking annoying when I'm working).

    Is there a way for me to go into settings and stop it from popping up every time this happens? Or is there any solution other than 'quitting' the app?

    any tips on how to make my apple pencil work longer?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 06:19 PM PDT

    my ipad 9th gen and apple pencil 1 is coming next week and it's my first time having one of those. i keep seeing people say 'just buy the ripoff ones, it's not worth it buying the real apple pencil.' i heard that it won't work anymore when left uncharged?? that's scary lol. i paid $99 for that and i don't wanna do some mistake that can break it!

    plus, the 1 and 2 is different especially on how you charge it. i can only afford the ipad 9th that's why i had to buy the 1st gen and i know i'll be using it everyday for digital drawing. it's so weird that you have to stick the pencil in the ipad charger slot lol

    Apple store credit for a Customer Replacement Unit?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 07:34 PM PDT

    Hi, I was just approved for a Customer Replacement Unit (CRU) for an older MacBook Pro (2016) that apparently reached a threshold amount of repairs and was still coming back with problems that they finally decided to generously replace it with a 2020 M1 MBP.

    I have already bought a newish MBP so I am wondering if I can take this unopened CRU MBP for store credit or exchange at an Apple Store? Has anyone had any experience with this?

    Also, does anyone know if Apple CRUs come with any kind of Apple Care coverage or if a plan can be purchased for it? The senior manager who issued me the CRU couldn't answer either of these questions. Apple really did a nice/excellent thing with this. Thanks!

    How do you go about exchanging (not returning) a newly bought MacBook?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 07:20 PM PDT

    My base MacBook Pro M1 Pro has been great, but the SD card port has only been working intermittently (works perfectly when I attach a dongle). Since I'm still in the 14 day period, I'd like to do an (I hope) easy exchange.

    I bought this MacBook on education pricing, and since Apple only allows you to buy one MacBook a year with education pricing, I can't exactly just buy a new one and return my current one without paying full price.

    If I walked into my local Apple Store and asked for an exchange, would they be able to do that, or do "exchanges" typically fall under "return and repurchase"?

    Returned trade-in kit

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 06:49 PM PDT

    I purchased a new IPhone 13 and traded-in my IPhone 12 for a credit. I was charged full price for the new phone and an empty box, with FedEx label, was provided for me to return the phone for credit. So I packaged up the old phone and sent it back. After a couple of weeks I got a phone call from Apple, asking for me to call back. I did and the person at the other end of the line, which was an Apple telephone number, said it was a fraudulent call and to ignore it. This evening, a week after the call I received an e-mail from Apple telling me they received an empty box and I will not receive a credit. What's going on? The box was not empty. The credit was to be $600. Please help.

    Find iPhone sound on a separate iCloud account

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 10:20 PM PDT

    So, my family and I have several apple devices, including AirPods. This gets very annoying, because all of our devices are connecting to all the AirPods. The bad part is, we can't do separate iClouds because we constantly lose our phones inside our house and we always need to use find my to play the sound. To my knowledge, there is no way to play the sound from a separate iCloud account. does anyone have a solution. it would also be good if we can have all the purchases save between accounts. Thanks for reading!

    Apple Retail Training as a Student?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 08:46 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    So I recently was hired as a part time Specialist at Apple. It's seasonal. Training starts next week, but I'm a full time student. They said they would work with my schedule or at least try but I'm not really seeing that in the training schedule. Have any of you worked for apple as a student and trained while you were actively at school (as opposed to on break)? How flexible/supportive are they with student schedules? (especially during training). Any help is appreciated! I'm really counting on this job and have invested a lot of time in this.

    WD My Passport 1 TB External Hard Drive Not Backing Up

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    Sorry if I don't explain this well: I have a 2017 MBP running Big Sur with the latest updates- I checked that to be sure. I have been using WD My Passport 1 TB External Hard Drive. But something went wrong and now it isn't recognized, won't mount and apparently can't be fixed. I looked up some directions that told me that it might be due to a corrupted file or file with an error. I tried to follow the directions on this link (they are near the end of the article) to check on the "Console" to find the corrupted files. I did find corrupted files- lots of them, but there is no delete option. Am I even doing the right thing? Could deleting these files cause more problems? Would just reformatting the disk help? (I have another WD that I can reformat. It used to be a Time Machine too until IT stopped working as well. Any help would be appreciated. https://mactakeawaydata.com/wd-my-passport-time-machine/

    Message blocking active?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 08:28 PM PDT

    So my girlfriends phone service got shut off. She's in the process of getting a new plan. Seems like her iPhone only works with wifi, so iMessage is how we communicate or FaceTime.

    I keep getting this message though.

    "Free Msg: Receiver unable to receive message - Message Blocking is active."

    Does that mean she doesn't have wifi access and my texts won't go through?

    Normally it works but I keep getting that message. I reset my network settings, and she's not blocked on my phone.

    Would you get that message if she didn't have wifi access?

    I know the other day I kept getting that message and then she went to a Walmart with wifi and bam our texts through i message were working.

    A way to transfer iTunes balance to PayPal/bank?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 07:17 PM PDT

    Over the years, I've accumulated (and redeemed) like $200 worth of iTunes gift cards I've got from various things. I hardly use this money, is there a way to transfer it to something else? Would serve much better helping with my bills.

    Strange SB Folder

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 06:41 PM PDT

    Hi, a few days ago, when I was editing any kind of documents or PPT (docx or pptx), a strange folder ended with SB is show up on the same directory with the files. I google it and found it's a temporary folder that automatically removed after closing the file.

    Unfortunately, the folder isn't automatically removed in my Mac. It's still there and even can't be removed. When I tried to delete it, it said, "the operation can't be completed because it is in use."

    How to deal with this, any kind of support is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    --------

    I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 and office version as I attached below. Also my drive is sync with google drive.

    Active Noise Cancelling + Headaches

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 06:07 PM PDT

    Is anyone here experiencing headaches when using ANC headphones, not just AirPods Pro but other brands as well?

    I recently bought the Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds and they sound great. However, I noticed that my head started hurting in very specific areas: behind the eyes and top the head.

    After searching, I came across this article: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/how-do-noise-cancelling-headphones-work/

    We began by polling 70 Wirecutter staffers to get a better idea of what people's experiences with noise-cancelling headphones have been. Of the 34 who said they had used noise-cancelling headphones, 18 (52 percent) said they had experienced some level of discomfort—which they described as a pain in their ears, a feeling that their ears needed to pop, dizziness, headaches, or nausea.

    So, it seems to not just be me. I'm curious if you guys are experiencing this as well, especially with the AirPods Pro. I was thinking about returning the Bose and buying a different brand like Apple but if this problem exists across all devices, then I may just need to buy regular earphones without ANC.

    Unable to perform iCloud backup for iPhone

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 06:00 PM PDT

    I've turned off almost all apps from being backed up on my iPhone. I've also made sure nothing else is using any storage in my iCloud. Regardless, the phone insists the backup is over 5GB and won't run. Any ideas beyond paying for more storage?

    Trying to move photos and videos from one Apple ID to another and need suggestions.

    Posted: 06 Nov 2021 02:14 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    My relatives recently bought the new iPhone 13 and would like to transfer their photos and videos from their old iPhone into the new one.

    They used to all share one singular Apple ID so one person's calls, text messages, and notifications would occasionally ring for everyone. So obviously they want their own Apple IDs now.

    However they also want to copy the photos from the shared Apple ID onto their individual ones.

    So originally I thought I could do this by going onto iCloud website on the PC, logging into the shared ID, download everything into a local folder then reupload the photos and videos onto their individual IDs.

    However there were a few problems I ran into.

    First there is no "select all" feature that's in the iCloud website so I had to drag-select them in batches (there were about 1,000 photos and I could only drag-select around 30 at a time). Secondly when I tried to upload the entire folder's worth of files onto the iCloud (again ~1000), the progress bar at the bottom says it's only uploading 267 which is not the correct amount of files. Thirdly when I tried to upload some files individually, it would say that only JPEG format is supported, even though all these files were originally downloaded from iCloud from the other account; I currently have .mp4s, .HEICs, .MOVs, .PNGs, and .jpgs.

    After that failed I tried instead to utilize the iCloud Photos network folder I got after downloading and running the executable setup for iCloud for Windows. I tried the same thing of logging into the shared Apple ID, downloading the files to a local folder, switching to the individual's Apple ID, and uploading the files onto that account. When I downloaded the files via "Download photos and videos", they're separated into folders organized by year and would also download a duplicate folder from 2007 to 2021 (i.e. a "2020" folder plus a "2020(1)" folder), both folders were filled with corresponding duplicates between them. I had to manually go into each each folder (skipping the duplicates) and extract the files to one local folder so I could easily congregate them and upload them. However when I click the "Upload photos and videos" button, the entire files explorer window freezes up. I currently have 3 frozen file explorers right now due to two additional attempts.

    Is there an easy way to do this? Suffice to say, I'm really frustrated with iCloud right now. I'm going to try again tomorrow when they return with their phones.

    PS if anyone knows how to transfer Notes from one Apple ID to another easily in bulk, they and myself would be interested as well.

    Thanks!
