Just upgraded to my 16 PM from 14 PM and the most annoying thing so far is the keyboard lag, it is not very responsive compared to earlier IOS. And overall system has been less smooth compared to iOS 17. Anyone else experiencing the same? If you do, any ways to improve the keyboard lag? I’ve tried to reset keyboard dictionary and force restart, nothing worked unfortunately. Please help!!! submitted by /u/Mikita_L [link] [comments]

Sometimes I open a website and the page is locked, because there is the pop up of cookies but I have blocked it. But I still can’t use the site. Other times I have a practically empty website because I use an ad block (I tried with a Samsung and the page was perfect without any ad) What ad block I have to use to have a perfect safari without ad block and problem with the cookies pop up? Now I have 1blocker submitted by /u/YarisGO [link] [comments]

For a while now I used SoundCloud, but most of the actually songs I listen to require premium to use, Spotify is terrible without premium, Apple Music needs me to have premium just to make a playlist, what do you guys know of? (Again, no apps that need subscription services, while googling I saw so many similar posts where people just say over and over in the replies that “this music app is worth the money” trying to convince people to pay for it) submitted by /u/AGeneric__Gamer [link] [comments]

anyone else’s live activities no longer closing? like when there’s a score update for a football game the island will enlarge to show the details but it doesn’t shrink anymore like it used to. i have to manually swipe it away which is a pita bc if you don’t swipe it just right it opens the app, and when you leave the app it returns till you do swipe it just right. submitted by /u/MrBoomin31 [link] [comments]

A few days ago i factory reset my iPhone (let's not talk about why) and now i can't get my notifications / media volume setup like i want to. Basically, i want the notifications to make a sound but i normally want the media volume at 0. I'm 99% sure this is how it was before because i always kept the volume at 0 and yet, every time i turned the silent switch off, the notifications would play a sound. I never had to worry about the volume level. But now if my media volume is at 0 the phone only vibrates when i get a notification, despite not being in silent mode. I have to manually increase the volume. Note that the setting to control ringer volume with the buttons is o…

I've been travelling internationally for a week and my iMessage has suddenly stopped working for one of my contacts and I am constantly struck with the "Message send failure" or "Not delivered" error over and over again. iMessage seems to be working perfectly with most of my other contacts but not for this one person - what gives? I've tried restarting my phone, turning iMessage on/off, Resetting my Network settings, etc. but all to no avail. Are there any solutions to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Before anyone asks, I've not been blocked - they texted me on my local SIM that I'm using internationally. submitted by /u/Wiscothrowable1 [link] [comm…

I'm having an issue that I've researched a bit, and all of the solutions are settings that I appear to have set correctly. When my kids send me messages from their iPads, they go to my MacBook but not my iPhone. Other messages, like texts from my wife's iPhone go to both my MacBook and my iPhone. On my MacBook I have: Enabled Messages in iCloud I have forwarding on for my Cell # and my email address On my iPhone I have: Messages in iCloud enabled When I hit "Sync Now" in my iPhone, it's not pulling in the Messages from the iPads that I have received on my MacBook Not sure what else to try? I'm sure there's something I'm missing somewhere but not sure what i…

As I continue with the consolidation of the tech sites in my network of sites I will be importing the data from PC Help Zone into ExTS. This is to further extend the reach of Extreme Tech Support. The end goal is to get the site back to the top where it once was. I truly believe I fractured this community by adding other tech sites. I am in the process of fixing the mistake. During the import the site might slow a bit or might not load for short periods of time. This will be short lived. I will keep you informed at each step. Thanks for understanding.

Honestly, I already fixed it. It just needs to install the OS. But I got a new problem. I forgot the firmware key. My dumbass forgot it. I installed Windows 8 through Boot Camp and successfully installed it. But... when I try to get back to the original OS (which is when you hold Alt/Option key), I need to put my firmware key, but the problem is I forgot it. Here are my questions if anyone can help. Fortunately, though, I can still use my Mac, but very limited to Windows OS. …
