So a couple of years ago there were a bunch of stories about how your maximum iCloud Storage could be expanded from 2TB to 4TB. Following those instructions, I keep hitting a brick wall -- no sign that it still exist. Ideas/suggestions?

I ordered both, the Mac Studio arrived about 10 days ago, the Studio Display is due next month. I dug up my old 27" Apple Cinema Display (LED) - the next to last ACD. Works fine with an $11 adaptor from Amazon (after waisting 30 minutes on the phone with Apple Care who seemed to believe there...

So Apple’s AirPods Max over the ear headphones are really great. (Our many years old Bose headphones were falling apart, big Black Friday discounts). Switching between Apple devices works great, noise cancellation works great, but most noticeably the sound quality is superb. I really noticed...

Great video on the original 1984 Macintosh, which was indeed my first personal computer.

If your left eye/right eye eyesight matches, and you need reading glasses you can go to your local drug store and pick from a wide selection of very cheap reading glasses. If your left/right eyesight differs you need to go to the your eye doctor, get a test and prescription, then go to an eye...

I am mostly a buy at the Apple Store only guy, but I am waiting for my new iPhone to be delivered by UPS. My only other such experience (can't remember whether it it was UPS or FedEx) for a MacBook ended with me getting a note (text message?) to pick it up from the Duane Reade (which no longer...

So I am now running a Mac with macOS Big Sur and thus for the first time am using the Apple TV app on a Mac. On Apple TV 4K, the Apple TV app lets you play through it other channels that you subscribe to (most of them, with the notable exception of Netflix). Including HBO. But on the Mac...

I can't be the only person in the universe who has constant problems with iPhone ports failing to charge because the their port is clogged*. At a minimum I'd like advice for what is the best compressed air device for cleaning them. (Genius appointments are still doable, but a pain during the...

One immediately visible black vertical line (top to bottom of the screen) has appeared on the screen of our 2017 LG OLED55C7P. No idea if this is a common or rare problem with OLED screens, is it fixable, will it keep getting worse? Immediately visible when the background is light. Noticed it...

TiVo lately has been disgraceful (I say this as a TiVo user for many years). They no longer even sell a 3TB TiVo - just ones with smaller capacity. If my TiVo Roamio dies, I'm screwed. The TiVo iPad remote app went from being very good with occasional bugs to close to unusable. Gone is the one...

https://twitter.com/criterionchannl/status/1206277219192057857 Anna Karina, a great actor, and a legend of the French New Wave. You see her image from Godard’s Vivre Sa Vie on my avatar. She will be missed

Just went to my iPad TiVO app to record the Dodgers - Brewers game (I don’t even know where my TiVo remote is, I strictly use my iPad for recording/playback/remote to watch on TV)...and — clearly totally new, demands username/passwords, pretty much acts like a website. This type of iPad app...

One of the reasons I chose Apple Music over Spotify is Apple Music’s support for music videos. Indeed the music video selection, especially for older ones has been continually improving, heading towards a lot of stuff from the dawn of the MTV era (“I want my MTV!” - early 1980s) For instance...

I have been using Bose headphones for years because they are light & fit my big head/ears most comfortably. However my love for the AirPods & hate for and past Bluetooth I had tried lead me to try out a W1 Bluetooth based Beats headphones. The Beats 3 Solo don’t fit me at all, so I tried the...

I was very happy that the my new LG OLED55C7P has 5.1 output via its ARC, or Audio Return Channel TOSlink output. Sounds great, in perfect sync, etc. But the last few days it has been cutting off sound altogether for any 5.1 material, be it streaming (HBO, Netflix, etc via AppleTV) or TiVo, or...

Yes Apple still sells them: https://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/ It has been reported/rumored since over a year ago that Apple has abandoned them. It has also been reported that good third party solutions exist -- meshes like Eero and off site backups like BackBlaze. The problem is as...

i'm yet to see any mention of 38 vs. 42mm battery life. Also individual carrier charges for the LTE version - (the one we care about is T-Mobile)

I finally got my Apple AirPods a few days ago: they exceed all my expectations. Maybe I am being delusional but they sound way better than their wired version for listening to podcasts, phone calls, etc. They connect to various devices (iPhone, iPad, Macs) way quicker and more reliably than...

My Mac Pro (2009) & MacBook Pro (retina, version 2, 2013), both latest Yosemite, were not touched by me in over a month (I managed to fall by accident and break my head (dumb luck), spent well over a month in the hospital, have been back at home since Monday, but still without proper glasses (I...

Any words of wisdom out there? I am a longish time Aperture user: I bought it because I need to merge a bunch of iPhoto libraries and kept using it because I knew how to use it (and owned it) and eventually got to be really fast and good at using it. Tight integration with PhotoStream is also...

I know this slightly off topic, but someone hacked my wife's Twitter account and followed almost 2000 accounts, making here Twitter stream useless. I've googled for bulk unfollowing, but all the software seems geared towards generating reports or unfollowing at most 50 people a day, which is...

So I am looking for something like this (I am guessing it is attached via HDMI?): but only seem to find stuff like this: http://www.amazon.com/MegaGear-Screen-Viewfinder-Digital-Cameras/dp/B00AS9119C The purpose is to be able to focus while shooting video with a Canon 5D Mark III. I need...

The day iTunes Radio went live I clicked on the buy iTunes Match button and was denied because my library has ~26K songs and iTunes Match has a 25K song limit. I sent Apple feedback asking them to base iTunes Match on a 25K or fewer song playlist. The playlist could be populated manually or...

My favorite flip-flops have bitten the dust - worn out and eaten by the puppy. I would love to find the same pair again. Unfortunately I have no idea what brand they are -- any idea from the logo? They were bought at the Sports Basement in San Francisco. Pretty sure the brand is NOT O'Neill...

Anyone do it? I uploaded a video yesterday (this one, if anyone cares: ) -- everything worked great, I go an alert from iMovie that the upload was successful and shortly an email from YouTube acknowledging it as well. Today, I tried uploading another piece from the same concert -- no alert or...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/26/nyregion/an-iphone-is-stolen-then-restolen.html When Android phones start being this desirable (or a still worth something to resell after their 2 year contract is over bringing in enough to pay for your new phone and have money left over for dinner and apps)...

Looks nice, but I haven't dared upgrade my main HT Mac yet. Please post if you encounter anything other should know about!

So I've glanced at the map, and AT&T is solid LTE for NYC. But does that really mean anything? I ask because after the iOS 5.1 upgrade my iPhone 4S is telling me it is 4G (i.e. HSPA+) But in reality that means nothing -- I'm still getting the same puny 1Mbps down as before -- less than 3...

Originally seen on Saturday Night Live (late 70s, early 80s), but I have a feeling it was not made for the show, they were just being the YouTube of their day (thus not posted in the TV section): On a crowded New York CIty street someone is directing a movie called "Disco Stewardesses" or...

I figured it out: please ignore this post unless you are having similar problems. Answer in post 2. Just got Time Warner's "Wideband" (55MbpsDn/5Up), modem: "Motorola SURFboard Wireless Cable Modem Gateway". (WiFi on the modem off at my request). Short version: Works when I connect Ethernet...
