.docx file not opening on iPhone
by Guest firoze- 0 replies
- 7 views
Hello. I am using an iPhone 13. Previously .docx files used to open properly when received thru WhatsApp, iMessage, and email. Then suddenly a several weeks ago this file type stopped opening, for no apparent reason, and just showed an ‘data’ file icon. However, .doc files still continued to open properly. At that time the phone was on iOS 17.6.1. Since I could not find a solution, I updated the phone to iOS 17.7, and when that did not work, I have now updated it to iOS 18. iOS 18 is working...

'Live' photos - but not able to edit?
by Guest nicho- 0 replies
- 9 views
I've never had this problem with previous iPhones, including my iPhone 14 Pro. I like shooting live photos. A problem I have noticed on my last trip is that if I do so... about 50% of the time when I go to edit the photo there is no 'live' tab at the bottom. I cannot adjust the live portion. Even worse, any other edits I make (including photographic styles) turn off the 'live' aspect of the photo. Happens with photos that have portrait data, and without, so I don't think that is connected... Read more Continue reading...

'Move to Junk' why? Doesn't stop it coming to Inbox
by Guest Peter Franks- 0 replies
- 3 views
Long winded post for a simple question, Sorry, but I don’t see any point in ‘move to junk’ IF that same email address will still always come to my Inbox. When you receive a Junk email in ‘Inbox’, I’ve always just slid across to delete, which is what I’ve done for years. There are a few constants and they are a pain seeing them in the inbox all the time, so I read only if you get junk/span then slide option, then click the ‘more’ tab, and then ‘move to junk’, I wrongly assumed that in the...

'Work' Focus not working properly?!
by Guest Dino F- 0 replies

I've set up a work focus in settings to only allow calls from my Favourites whilst I am at my work location, however, my iPhone 14 is still ringing when an unknown caller calls my number (I can even see the Work Focus icon on my screen so I know its currently active as well) ??! This shouldn't be happening should it (I'm on iOS 15.4) ? Continue reading...

"Announce notifications" setting
by Guest /u/HydroHomie3964- 0 replies
- 6 views
https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/oLxkKaK8H9ujM2TPoVWT9pIQl6aDs5oUwYmwiaGmaiE.jpg I have some confusion on “announce notifications”, found in the notification settings, under Siri. The first item under that is the setting to announce messages in CarPlay. This works as expected. Then I see that I can choose which apps to toggle announced notifications on and off. But Siri doesn’t announce the notifications for any apps whether I have it toggled on or not. It just does a regular notification. So what is this supposed to do? Will notifications only be announced if connected to CarPlay, headphones, or external speaker? Screenshots attached. https://preview.redd.it/390iv…

Just got this message in settings after updating to the Dev 15.2 Beta 2 on my base M2 Max Studio, I haven't been on any of the other betas until now. Ironic that my external storage is larger & faster than the base internal storage is. Guess I'm not going to be using AI anytime soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ submitted by /u/greenie214 [link] [comments]

"Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Repeat Dialog
by Guest dickiedunn- 0 replies
- 3 views
Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave. Has been running solid for years. Now I'm getting a repeat pop up dialog box "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Even after shutting down and restarting it keeps coming up, which interrupts all inputs on the computer, over and over again. It also won't sleep now as the popup dialog just randomly comes up, which wakes the computer up. Note, this can continue even during the login window, so that it makes it difficult to login as the keyboard... Read more Source: MacRumors

"Documents & Sync" - 80% of my iPhone Cellular usage!?
by Guest JohnOCFII- 0 replies
- 2 views
Over the past year, my cellular usage has been rising unexpectedly. When I investigate, I find most of it in the area of "System Services --> Documents & Sync." This month, when I've turned off almost everything that uses Cellular service, it is 80% of my cellular usage! Is there any way to determine what makes up that category of usage? Currently running iOS 14.2 on iPhone 12 mini, previously on iPhone 8, but has been on all released iOS versions in the last year (I've not run Beta iOS... Read more Source: MacRumors

"Download and install" greyed out
by Guest sjshaw- 0 replies
- 6 views
On half of my devices, the option to "download and install" the latest iOS and iPadOS updates is greyed out and cannot be selected; therefore, I cannot download the update. Of course, it says, "This update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download," but the catch is, all my devices are on my Wi-Fi network, but half can update and half can't. Fixes tried: reboot; turn off Private Relay; disconnect and reconnect Wi-Fi; try it plugged in... nothing works. Any ideas? Continue reading...

"Finish setting up mobile service" How do you remove this persistent notification?
by Guest maxim642- 0 replies
- 4 views
I purchased the iPhone 14 Pro Max and went through the standard set-up process, restoring from iCloud. The phone is now fully restored, it seems. However, in settings, I have a persistent notification badge informing me to "finish setting up mobile service". When I click it, I'm presented with 2 options: "Transfer From Nearby iPhone" or "Use QR Code". My carrier (Vodafone - UK) doesn't support e-sim. My old phone has been factory restored. Neither of the above options are relevant to me... Read more Continue reading...

"gamecontrollerd" process constantly running on El Capitan

- 5 views
https://a.thumbs.redditmedia.com/9v4f0dDqkrX46iyA7KQgKbMVcLSInkkbzebvQ9SVJN8.jpg I recently came across a video showcasing various Objective-See applications. While reading the comments, I saw a couple users discussing how ReiKey (a keylogging detector) was detecting "gamecontrollerd" as a passive listener. ReiKey is not compatible with my OS, but over the past week, I noticed that gamecontrollerd is always running. Every few seconds, it jumps up in Activity Monitor. I should probably note that I have *never* connected any game controllers to my mac, and I haven't noticed anything fishy in my downloads, applications, etc.. I'm very confused about this process, becau…

"How to Automatically Sort Clips Chronologically in Final Cut Pro?"
by Guest /u/Additional-Reason308- 0 replies
- 21 views
When editing videos, I sometimes shoot with both a smartphone and a camera. In Final Cut Pro, I want to arrange all the clips on the timeline in chronological order based on when they were recorded. For example: Smartphone clip 1 was recorded at 9:00 AM Camera clip 2 was recorded at 9:04 AM Smartphone clip 3 was recorded at 9:15 AM Camera clip 4 was recorded at 9:20 AM When I import these files into Final Cut Pro, I want them to automatically be arranged as Clip 1 → Clip 2 → Clip 3 → Clip 4. The issue is that when I view the files in Finder on my MacBook, the videos are grouped by device type. Smartphone clips are sorted by time within their group, and came…

I have an iPhone 12 Mini, When I send a message to one contact it appears to send. A couple of minutes later I receive a notification. " Time Sensitive " " Message Failed to Send " " The Message to ( recipient ) failed to send. The strange thing is that the recipient does receive it, I've had replies from a message arrive before the " Failed to send " notification pops up. It's one particular recipient where this occurs, I've messaged other people and they receive the messages. Anyone else... Read more Continue reading...

"Move to iOS" app: how it works?

I need to transfer tedt from my old Samsung Android phone that I've already started using (everything backed up on iCloud). To import the contacts I know I'll have to reset the iPhone, so I wonder if doing so if I'll end up restoring both my previous iPhone messages from iCloud and the Android ones by using the app. Thanks a lot submitted by /u/Traditional-Usual178 [link] [comments]

"nohidden" command in terminal does not work
by Guest /u/adwdp- 0 replies
- 11 views
I have some files that are hidden when they shouldn't be for some reason. I looked this up and the way to unhide them seems pretty straightforward - I see these instructions in multiple places: " Open Terminal Enter the following: chflags hidden [Press Return] (or use “chflags nohidden” to make visible) Drag files or folders to be hidden from Finder into the Terminal window, which will display their paths in Terminal Press Return to hide" I noticed some places says to press space instead of return after the chflags hidden command - I tried doing it both ways, and neither way does anything for me. Anyone know why this command wouldn't work? submitted by …

"Phone being managed" But no MDM profile loaded
by Guest /u/tellojsu- 0 replies
- 11 views
So i have a phone where the MDM was removed by the company, i can see that in the Device Management the profiles that were loaded there are no longer there, only VPN shows up, and all the work apps that were installed are gone. The problem i am running into is i still see the "this iphone is supervised and managed", is there a way to remove? The only way i have managed to remove it is by doing a full erase on my phone and then setting it up as a new phone. While this "fixes" the problem, i would rather not spend lots of time and effort trying to re-install all the apps, and some of the authy/ping accounts that are loaded that would be lost. submitted by /u/tellojsu…

"QS" CPUs really that bad?

- 17 views
Well i've been reading alot her in some threads and watching some YT-videos about using Engineering- and Qualification Samples (mostly from China) in the 7,1. Conclusion was, that ES are to avoid at all costs. But not really the same for QS. While here most of the opinions tend to summarize that they are "not worth the risk", there are some (even reputable) Tech-Youtubers, claiming them to be de facto identical to the final product and – for the somehow a little adventurous – a nice way to...

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I'm trying to get the camera shutter to work using the "Say Cheese" shortcut for Siri. I've added the shortcut to the Home Screen. If I tap on the shortcut it takes a photo, plus if I say "Hey Siri say cheese", it also takes a photo instantly. However when I open the Camera app and try and take a photo, Siri does not respond. The shortcut does not work!! What is so bizarre, is if I delete the Shortcut from the Home Screen, it still activates the shutter to... Read more Continue reading...
