Hello Folks, Last year I travelled from Canada to the US for a two week trip. During this time I got a data plan from Airalo on my esim and completely disabled my primary physical sim line. Since my imessages were primarily received and sent from my phone number which is tied to the physical sim which was disabled imessage defaulted to using one of my email addresses associated with icloud to send and received imessages. Whilst this worked fine during my stay in the US when I returned to... Read more Continue reading...

Hello All, When I log in to Google and it sends the verification to my iphone, the display is so large, I can only see the top left corner of the message and then can't verify with Google because I can't see the code. "Pinch and zoom" doesn't work and I'm going crazy. Anyone have an idea what I can try? Thanks. Continue reading...

My husband has this on find friends - see the 467-1. No idea who that is. When he deletes it, it comes back. Also says it notifies this person when he leaves the house. Very creepy.

Getting this kind of problems with the iPhone 11/XR is something less known, but getting it from the new SE 2020 is something new.. I used the 5, 5s, 6, 6,7 and 8 without any issues.

Is there any possible way to have a shortcut to an app settings? I would like to streamline the process of turning on and off the location services of a specific app without having to go to settings, going to the app and then clicking location services, and then toggling back and forth between always or never. so a shortcut that would either make this toggle for me automatically, or at least get me right to the page where I can just toggle back and forth would be greatly appreciated.

Hey gang, sorry if this was a previous topic (was not able to find it so assuming it wasn't) Got my hands on a pre-flashed Titan Ridge rev 2.0 to put in my cMP (2012, 5,1).

However, the issue at hand was the following: Long Version - First tried on Catalina patched by dosdude1, card showed up but reported speed of 0gb (not 20gb or 40gb) on both "ports", vendor...

My grandmother has passed away and she had an iphone 8, no idea why, but my cousin convinced her... lol We tried to get into her phone and reached a point where we're locked out. From what I read, there is no other way to get to the phone without doing a factory reset. However, we need to access her contacts because of family and friends and possibly anything else that may have been on the phone. I've read that it's next to impossible to get into the phone. Does anyone know if apple would... Read more Continue reading...

I have a 2011 iMac running 10.13.3 and I am changing to a 2012 Mac Pro 5,1. I have heard that I can't simply move the SSD to the Mac Pro, due to apps being tied to the machines UUID, and due to machine specific modules and kernel drivers. Is there any validity to this? If so then how would be the best way to go about this? I use the machines for audio production and have a considerable amount of application components for plugins that I would prefer not to reinstall if possible. Source: MacRumors

Hi there, I got an iPhone 12 Pro Max running the latest iOS. I only been able to find one post on this but it’s becoming incredibly annoying that I can be playing Spotify at home but the moment my car connects it switches to apply music. I switch over back to Spotify but the Apple Music always wants to just play the last song over and over again. I tried Google searching solutions and the common recommendation is to look for an ink dirt symbol to stop the auto play but it isn’t there. I... Read more Continue reading...

Hi, I know that the nMP has thunderbolt 2 I/O but I have read that it can use Thunderbolt 3 eGPU using a T2-T3 adapter. Does anyone know if the nMP can use Thunderbolt 3 docks too like the CalDigit TS3 Plus? What about other Thunderbolt 3 devices? Thanks! Source: MacRumors

OK, so I got the upgrade bug as soon as I bought my cMP 5,1 8 core. I bought the upgraded Wifi/Bluetooth card recommended on here and my system sees it. Both the Wifi and Bluetooth work fine but I can't seem to get Handoff/Continuity to work. The System Profiler shows the new card as being Handoff compatible. Handoff is turned on on both my Mac and my iPhone X. Both devices have Bluetooth turned on. Both devices have Wifi turned on and connected to the same network. I tried signing out...

I Just wanted to make a Quick posting that I managed to update the Microcode on my MacBook2,1 to the latest version intel has released for its CPU :) I managed to do this by dumping my MacBooks BootROM using flashrom in Linux and actually manually finding the microcode in the BootROM (which in this case is 4096 Bytes long/big) and taking the updated microcode and replacing the old microcode with the new version, I then flashed the now edited BootROM onto the MacBooks BootROM flash chip...

Hello all, Hope you are doing well I have two iPhones, an 8 and an original SE. Now in winter time they shutdown and act weirdly . Regarding the 8 we are talking about a 2 yr old device with 83% battery health, with temperatures between 3 and -3 always inside pockets. I would like to ask you the following questions: 1) is this normal to the iPhones even when new? 2) if no, is it due to wear of the battery? 3) will a “rugged” cover help? Thank you for your help Continue reading...

*If you want to skip the background info, go to current issues below.* I've had quite an ordeal. I own a music studio and we have two each of the 4,1 flashed 5,1 with x5690s X2. I had a Northbridge rivet break and kill my processor tray on one, so I ordered a full machine to use for parts or possibly tinker more and make 100% certain that the CPU tray is dead. Well, the parts machine (2X 2.26) showed up and wouldn't boot. eBay seller gave me the go ahead to test for issues since shipping... Read more Source: MacRumors

When I google how to do this I get confused real fast. I have sensitive financial docs on the phone that I need to keep in the cloud as I did not have access to a printer when I had to mail them, and I dont want someone who has my phone to be able to see them, so I want them off the phone but keep them in the cloud. How do I do that? I know how to hide pics but they are easy to find if you know what you are doing and cant be locked, as I understand it. Continue reading...
