RE: What Iphone to chooce?

[Simon Fogarty]

Anders,

Is screen / picture quality an issue for you?

If not then take the iPhone XR, they have shown to have better battery life 
than all other iPhones currently that includes the 8's and the newer XS range.

The processor is better and the screen is slightly larger,
 If screen is something you want then the 8 and 8Plus have better screen 
resolution 
Otherwise there isn't a lot and either way your going to get a great device,
The 8 will give you 3d touch which the xr wont. The 8 has a home button the xr 
doesn't.

The xr should have esim abilitys next year.

So in other words, it’s a case of what do you need and what do you want?

Either way they are good devices the xr will just last slightly longer.

The X R, without a case, for me, feels rather slippery. With a case, though, it 
feels great and solid, and the battery life is just amazing, even when using it 
with Wifi, Bluetooth, location services, and background app refresh on. If you 
don't need all that, one user has said that he gets a day and a half of Wifi. 
With it, I get a full day of life.

Re: new mac user

[Maurice Mines]

Good evening, word can produce high-quality documents. If you need a 
natively done Microsoft Word document it would be advisable and 
cost-effective for you to use office 365. It is completely compatible 
with the Mac I use it personally, and I’ve had no problems.


Although pages does right in word format it is not completely the word 
format. There are some slight differences. I hope this addresses your 
question?


Sincerely Maurice Mines.

A great app, that’ll convert videos from not only youtube, but lots of other

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

Thank you for this information. Also, thank you to others who replied.

This solution fixed at least getting the program launched. I had to going to 
privacy and then accessibility and indicate that I wanted to allow VMware to

I am creating my first virtual machine so we'll see how that goes.
 Again thank you to everyone who replied here.

is permitted to access those resources a.k.a. the extension for VMware

Usually when I need some audio from Youtube, I have no problem using Loopback 
to record from Safari into Garage Band. Now, though, I'm working on a radio 
demo and I need to download songs, and I figure it will take forever to record 
each individual song only for me to end up using a 3-second clip. 
So, can anyone recommend a good way to download Youtube videos? I used to use 
anything2mp3.com but that doesn't work for me anymore. 

IF it supports batch conversion and SoundCloud URL's, that's a huge plus.

Re: Accessible Youtube to mp3 converter for the Mac?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for sharing that link. It looks like a great website. However, when I 
try and convert it gives me an error that says converting music from Youtube is 
not possible in my region. I’m in California. Where are you from, by chance? If 
it works for you, perhaps I can use a VPN.

Re: What Iphone to chooce?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

the 8's battery life is good, but the XR's is better.  The XR is heavier than 
other models, but is an excellent phone.  If you want the phone to last longer 
before upgrading, I'd go with the XR, as long as the price doesn't put it out 
of range for you.

Later...

  I've started working with a braille display connected to the iPhone and so

Re: What Iphone to chooce?

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

Anders,
   I got the 8+ in February and am quite pleased with it. Battery life 
seems good but I charge it nightly so it gets backed up as well. My 
previous phone was the 5 so at first the size took getting used to but 
it's perfect.


   I've started working with a braille display connected to the iPhone 
and so far its been a good experience.


   Never used Android , never had any reason to switch.

Re: What Iphone to chooce?

['Devin Prater' via MacVisionaries]

The X R, without a case, for me, feels rather slippery. With a case, though, it 
feels great and solid, and the battery life is just amazing, even when using it 
with Wifi, Bluetooth, location services, and background app refresh on. If you 
don't need all that, one user has said that he gets a day and a half of Wifi. 
With it, I get a full day of life.

Re: Having problems sharing a disk between 2 Macs

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

hi,

File Sharing only needs enabled on the iMac if it is the device hosting the 
shared folders/volumes.  Security-wise, I'd suggest that you make it visible to 
specific people, not the entire world.  You can make it so that your user on 
the iMac is the owner of the folder, and you just sign in with those 
credentials from the MBA to gain access.  Remember that a drive needs to be 
formatted as MacOS Extended (Journaled) to work properly as a Time Machine 
drive.  The sharing part of this is relatively straight forward as explained 
above, but the sharing of it as a Time Machine location is not as easy.  I've 
never used a regular shared volume as a Time Machine location as I usually use 
an Airport Extreme or MacOS Server to create the Time Machine locations.  It 
may work just fine, I've just never tried it.

Later...

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[Maurice Mines]

 Good morning, I might have an idea as to what your problem might be. 
Are you running OS X  Mojave? Just salute you know  if you are running 
the current version of VMware, you have to go into system preferences 
and make sure that in the privacy and/or security settings that VMware 
is permitted to access those resources a.k.a. the extension for VMware 
needs to be allowed to run. If the item is not chocked your Mac forbids 
the program to be run because did use it as a potential security risk 
when it is not. Give that a shot? And I think your problem will 
hopefully go away.

Re: likely silly apple product buy question?

[Arnold Schmidt]

The following is only my opinion. Obviously, the damage to your IPhone had 
absolutely nothing to do with any manufacturing fault or defect, so most 
manufacturers would say, "that's too bad." They wouldn't fix it under any 
warranty, not even Apple care. And you are saying they offered you the chance 
to buy Apple Care after they knew the circumstances of the damage, then fix it 
under Apple Care? That is the most generous warranty coverage I have ever heard 
of from a manufacturer. I hope you grabbed it before they came to their senses 
and changed their mind.

Re: likely silly apple product buy question?

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

The standard Apple warranty does not cover user caused damage.  Most standard 
warranties do not.  Yes, AppleCare is required to cover such damage.  This is 
normal practice with most electronics.  Manufacturer defects or problems with 
software/hardware are covered, but if you spill your coffee on your laptop 
keyboard, for example, standard warranty does not cover the repairs.

I'm not interested in getting into a back and forth, but I have spoken directly 
with business owners who sell Apple and other technology, and the markup for 
the retailer is nowhere near the values you've stated.  Yes, I agree that those 
percentages are normal in many other product lines, but I'll stand by my 
statement that those percentages are not the case for Apple hardware sold by 
third party retailers.

hi,

Specifically with Apple Care, you have a point.  Whereas, the one year warranty 
provided by Apple is honoured no matter which authorized vender sold the Apple 
product.  While the mark-up you state is normal in the retail business, my 
sources tell me that the retailer is not marking up the Apple hardware to that 
degree.

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi Kelly,

I’ve struggled with VMWare Fusion lots as well, but do have it going pretty 
much all the time now. The one trick I’ve noticed you have to do is toggle back 
and forth in and out of your machine’s screen while it’s starting up. I hope I 
can explain this correctly, here goes:

When your machine starts, you’ll eventually hear VO say “suspend this guest 
operating system”. At that point, press Command+control+f. You’ll probably hear 
VO say something like space with applications followed by whatever is currently 
running, like finder, Mail, Messages or whatever. Press Control+command+f 
again, and you should hear VO say “Space with the name of your Windows machine 
full-screen”. At that point, you know you are in the VMWare window. Press 
Control+G to give keyboard focus to the VM machine. Oh yeah, and the keystroke 
to start Narrator won’t work, because VO is picking up the Control+Windows 
combination as its command. I normally do Windows+R, then type Narrator, and it 
does come up. Then, to get out of Narrator, I have to alt-tab to the Narrator 
Settings window, and when I press Alt+F4, Narrator does exit. If you can get to 
the point where you can in fact install JAWS, it does work pretty nicely, by 
the way. I started out with VMWare 10, and my USB devices, including my Focus 
40 Blue, connected just fine. But then I tried upgrading to VMWare Version 11, 
and for some reason I couldn't get any of my USB devices going, so I had to go 
back to version 10.

I hope this isn’t confusing, and that maybe others can chime in with 
clarifications or other thoughts. Good luck and I hope you can get it going.

Re: likely silly apple product buy question?

[tim]

Wish that it is true about Apple and there warranties.
If the store sells it with applecare. Then Apple will fix it and if not then 
you will have to get applecare on your own.
I know this from getting my iPhone 8 from T-mobile. They only gave a not 
working out of box return if phone was fisically broke.
I had to get applecare myself.
Now as far as the big drop in discounts they still make a profit because the 
markup is around 3 to 500% for sales.
Never think a store loses money with discounts.
Just because a product states a sale only means it is for sale. The discount is 
still just a mine game.

Re: VMWare Fusion Question or Two

[Bill Holton]

Did you install the VM tools? You have to begin this process outside the 
window, then completed inside of windows.

RE: what devices/appliances are people using with Apple Homekit?

[Matthew Horspool]

Hi Anders,
The starter kit, with room stat and bridge, costs about £200. Radiator valves 
cost about £60 each but you don't need those straight away.
Unfortunately I don't know about heat pump compatibility especially not outside 
the UK. However, as far as the electronics are concerned it can function in the 
same way as an old fashioned dial stat – just a glorified on/off switch really. 
If your heat pump can take a dial stat it can probably take Tado.

Hi!
What did you pay for that one?
I don’t think this can be connected right away to my Heat pump.

Hi,
For smart heating I use a system from a company called Tado. I purchased it 
because of its Homekit integration but actually, I find I very rarely have to 
use the Homekit side of the operation because it all just works.
The basic setup is a smart thermostat. However, you can also add smart radiator 
valves to individual rooms. The system geolocates via the Tado app and reduces 
the set point of the thermostat gradually as you move further and further away 
from home. Critically, it also raises the temperature gradually as you return, 
so if your house is particularly cold and you're far away, the heating will 
switch on long before you arrive home.
Multiple users are supported and geolocation is based on the user closest to 
the house.
The system also has integration with weather forecast data and builds a model 
of how quickly the house warms up and cools down so that, for example, instead 
of setting the heating to come on at 7:00 AM, you set the house to be warm by 
7:00 AM. On a cold day this may trigger the heating to start up at 6:00 AM, but 
on a warmer day it might not come on until 6:45 AM.
Setup is an absolute doddle as all devices have a QR code on them, which you 
just scan into the app and let it do its thing. Only snag is that I'm not sure 
how compatible it is with US heating. If you can get it, though, I couldn't 
recommend it highly enough.

Thanks, Jeff.  Just curious, do you control the thermostat through any of these 
interfaces?  We currently have a nest, but I'm thinking I'd like to have a 
thermostat I can control through Siri.  Currently looking at the Ecobee3.

Hi Donna,

All of the products I use work with Homekit  They also work with Google Home.  
I have both systems in my house, so I wanted cross compatibility.

The iHome ISS50 is a 5 in 1 sensor.  It can report back on things such as:

temperature,
humidity,
motion,
sound and,
light.

Apparently, sound monitoring doesn’t currently work with Homekit, but you can 
monitor through the iHome Control app.

More information at:

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/ihome-ihome-iss50-5-in-1-smart-home-monitor-iss50wc/10488097.aspx

I use the iHome Control app, Philips Hue and Home for my needs and find all of 
them accessible.

I am using a bunch of Philips Hue lights which work with a bridge.  I also have

I’m hoping to get an iHome ISS50 5 in 1 sensor for Christmas.
