Re: Apple Watch 5 - battery preservation

Happy New Year folks. I am assuming some of you have an Apple Watch (which 
ever revision you have maybe matters) but I arranged a Apple Watch 5 for my 
85yo Mum as a means of providing ready to hand communication and the emergency 
services call up feature it has. She's slowly getting used to it. I reviewed 
the online Apple information about typical battery life and with normal usage 
(the online site provides details about what constitutes normal) should yield 
around 18 hours before needing recharge from a full "overnight charge" - it 
states.

Well, Mum hardly knows how to use it so is basically only looking at it 
occasionally for telling the time and the occasional incoming text is about all 
of the actual activity and she finds she is getting <10 hours before needing 
recharge. 

Does anyone have a similar experience and are there some tips about 
configuration (pairing with iPhone) to minimise battery consumption so that she 
can avoid a during-the-day recharge?

Same issue here, check if your emails are being deleted. They add up over the

Hi Julie, it would help to know the size of your HD and how much of it you are

At least a tenth of your HD space needs to be free to be able to run your 
applications. You can keep stuff such as your photos and documents on an 
external HD to free up space on your main HD.

Re: RANT WARNING! iiNet NBN

Similar with ‘Bigpuddle’. Took 2-3 months to get a reliable full time

Now working. 
One thing we asked for was upgrade to mobile data allowance- for free, as we 
had no, or unreliable, home line or internet for weeks.

Sorry - smoke coming out of my ears
I guess this is the sad result of a great WA company being taken over by TPG

15 days ago I signed up with iiNet to switch from iiNet Broadband to iiNet NBN
After numerous stuff-ups, being on hold for 20 - 40 minutes at a time, not 
receiving promised call-backs, receiving a call-back yesterday FIVE hours after 
requesting one etc I am still not connected to the NBN.

Finally my hardware arrived on Friday afternoon.
I connected it as instructed on Saturday - guess what? It doesn’t work.
Finally have been told today that it can’t proceed as iiNet are waiting for my 
connection request to be lodged with NBN.CO
I asked the caller whose job was that - she replied -“iinet’s”
Not satisfactory?

Don’t worry sir it should all be taken care of in the next 2 to 3 days.
And don’t disconnect anything in the meantime
So now I wait for up to another 3 days with no Internet (as i had to disconnect 
my existing Broadband.

Hi Bill
The program downloads the show in segments and the pieces them together / 
‘convert’. It removes adverts as well. There are some quality settings in 
preferences and a preference to delete the download and just keep final file.

Deleting in Mail

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Everyone

I discovered that Mail is hogging 140gb of my SSD.

So, I decided to a major select and delete.

it wasn’t successful, perhaps these selected emails (maybe 14) going back 
to 2005… are now in 'transfer limbo’ now I can’t move them to the trash, as I 
get the error message:

“1162275.emlx” couldn’t be copied to “Messages” because an item with the same 
name already exists. and yes I can only see one email in Mail Trash, and when I 
delete that email it reappears back the folder I just deleted it from.

Yes, Mail Trash is empty, have emptied Mail Trash various ways, but no 
improvement.

Tried restarting machine, resetting PRAM… deleting the Mail prefences list.

'What Size’ app. indicated the V3 file in the Library for Mail was the large 
file and there is evidence of Rebuilds, which are also large and old.

Bit frustrated, 

What is the next step?

Re: Page breaks

[Brian RISBEY]

If you turn on ‘invisibles’, looks like a back to front capital ‘P’ icon, it 
shows spaces and non printing marks. You should see page breaks. You can double 
click to select and delete or place cursor after one the hit backspace. 

Look on the file tab near justify ...

SSD Lost space

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Everyone,

I am unable to account for about 300GB of HD space.

HD Finder suggests:
Users 540GB
Applications 32GB
Library 29GB
Lost & Found (what’s that?) 15GB
System 11GB
Private (What’s that?) 7GB


"About this Mac' suggests - Storage
Other 656GB
Movies 213GB - okay, I know I can trim this one...
Photos 30GB
Audio 33GB
and iTunes, iPhone & iPad backups, photos should all come under users?
Could Download files be it?

Or, time for a fresh install?

Also, are we still paying membership?

Re: Find iPhone

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Michael

After gardening with a iPhone6 Plus in my pocket, over that now, I have the 
iWatch/phone, and it works!

No pocket bulge and you can make, receive and respond to any calls, emails, 
messages and notifications.


Loving it. It means the the iPhone can safely stay inside, even when going off 
to Bunnings and or off swimming in the pool.

my 2c worth,
Brian

Thank you all. The phone I lost then found is an SE, purchased recently to 
replace my beloved iPhone 6 which disappeared during a trip to Bunnings to buy 
wood chips for mulch which, as it turned out, weren’t needed but that’s a 
different story. The lessons for me from the Bunnings Episode were always make 
sure the phone has a decent amount of charge in it before stepping out the 
door, and always make sure the phone is nestled deep within your pocket - I 
think mine popped out when I was hefting bags of woodchip mulch.

I have to admit that the SE has been great. It is more compact and seems in 
some ways more powerful than the 6 was.

Cheers,

Fwd: Deleting email copies

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All
I now have multiple devices which allow me to view my email account ( POP 
Bigpond).
Is the setting in preferences which deletes copy ‘immediately' going to stop a

Deleting the same email on each device is tiresome.

Hi Rod,
I have a Belkin Tunecast auto and a DockBoss Bluetooth by CableJive. 
This allows me to Bluetooth music to my choice of FM station. In the car. 
Hope this helps. It does lose some volume so you need to tune your radio up a 
bit more to compensate.

I found cars pre this era may have a RCA connector hidden away maybe in the

Anything much before 2006 didn’t know about anything connecting to the radio 
unless it was via a cassette tape input. 

You might be able to find a device that’s reads the phone via Bluetooth then 
you play it via an FM RADIO frequency. That’s pretty clunky. What you really 
need is a new car :-) 

Aberdeen Autos are a good place for one Rod. It’s fun bidding on Wednesday 
nights for your new pride and joy. 

There’s a really nice Pioneer radio that reads two Bluetooth devices and has 
nice quality sound output and voice input for phone chatting if changing cars 
is a bit dramatic. About $130. 

Cheers

Hi Brian,

When you get a new computer from Apple, though, it has a specific version of 
macOS installed on it, and further, a hardware-specific "build". Your new 
Macintosh cannot boot from the older version and build of macOS that is 
installed on your older Mac, so simply cloning your old Mac onto your new Mac 
won't work. 

Due to this limitation, Carbon Copy Cloner recommend that you use the Setup 
Assistant application (runs on your new Mac's very first boot) 

Once you have migrated your user accounts and applications using Setup 
Assistant or Migration Assistant, you can continue to use Carbon Copy Cloner to 
back up your Mac to the same backup volume that you were using for the old Mac.

Use Setup Assistant to move data from your older Mac to a new Mac.

Hi all,

I just purchased a Samsung T3 SSD 1TB with the intentions of using it to move 
over to a new MacBookPro soon. 

Using TechToolPro version 9.5.3 should I be 'Disk Image Cloning' the 
MacBookPro, or 'Volume cloning’? 

Or using Carbon Copy Cloner.

Re: Speccing a MacBookPro 15"

[Brian RISBEY]

Thank you Rob
I hear what your warning about enough ports and dongles.
I daily need to plug into a VGA projector and play sound using a head phone 
jack but could do this through an AppleTV, wirelessly, which might be the best 
solution. 
I do need the onboard storage so the larger internal drive might be it.

Thank you for your notes and for sharing your experience.

I've been away - hence the delayed reply...

I bought a 2016 15" MB Pro last December.

I decided on the 1TB SSD, because I couldn't justify the cost of the 2TB drive. 
I added a 3TB magnetic drive to 'archive' stuff not often used.

I also bought an OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock, with USB, Firewire, and Thunderbolt 
ports. This was a mistake, because I overlooked the fact that this was 
Thunderbolt 2, not Thunderbolt 3. At the time, I don't think there was a 
Thunderbolt 3 dock available. The dock and cables cost me about $500. I guess 
there are Thunderbolt 3 docks available now.

Certainly, the 1TB SSD drive boots very quickly, but the peripherals and SSD 
upgrades were expensive.

Re dongles - I don't think there are enough ports to connect all the 
peripherals you may need with dongles - I regularly use 3-4 usb ports, and an 
HDMI port.

Re: Speccing a MacBookPro 15"

[Brian RISBEY]

Thank you Pete, 
That was my plan to have photo and iTunes library as external same as you.  
I have a 1TB SSD drive in the current MacBookPro ( thanks to Daniel) sitting on 
879GB. 
An external with speedy connections should be good.

G'day Brian, my experience though a few years go now when I bought a 13" MBP 
Retina was that getting internal memory is very expensive as Apple charges lots 
more than you can buy an external 2TB hard drive for. If money is no object 
then max out internal memory. 

If considering going the external memory route, consider if having a drive 
hanging off a USB is a show stopper for you. It's not for me, I have 250GB 
internal SSD with about half of it in use and my iTunes and Photos libraries 
are on the external 2TB drive (totaling ~1.3TB along with some other 
miscellaneous data) but it is all, including the external drive data, backed up 
to the TC as well as a CCC backup of the MBP and the ext drive too.

Probably some others have some wisdom to share.

Re: Second hand macbook?

[Brian RISBEY]

Hi Rob
There are non-genuine replacement batteries available for 2008 machines. 
I ordered one thru  Midland Mac 4 U shop. They work but due to high demands of 
new software they only give about 2 hours of run time. 
Other than that my 17" starts up and runs quite quickly. 
Daniel did upgrade the RAM to 6 GB a while ago, that could be worth 
investigating.

Hi Brian

The message was mostly in Simplified Chinese Mandarin characters, but there 
were many invalid characters, and the message was not in Mandarin. You are 
probably right that it was a wrong font setting. I received the message in 
English, it was as following:

"Hi Bill

Just in with client, which is why quick replies (as just wanting for some 
software to install and quickly checking email between installs).
After you double click the DMG and then it opens a Finder window. Before you 
click anything else, that is where you need to hold down the Option key.
eg. You double click the DMG file. It opens to a “white disk looking icon” on 
the desktop. Then before you click whatever icon or installer is there, you 
hold down the Control key before you click on it. You’ll then get a pop up 
window that you choose “Open” from. the list.
It will ask if you want to approve the Application, and you then choose “open”. 
It should then open as normal.

If you want to keep it all the time, and it’s not an installer, but an icon of 
the Application itself, you drag it into your Applications folder.
Then go to Applications folder and before doubling clicking it, you then use 
the Control key method. Then the same steps to open it.

It should then open after that."

Cheers, David Noel.

PS. On a computer, Chinese characters use the equivalent of two English letters 
for one Chinese Character.

Re: Macbook Pro Certificates

[Brian RISBEY]

Hi Ronni and Pete

When students and teachers log onto a school wireless network there are two 
methods. 
First with an id number and password - this gives network access to servers and 
internet , second way -students are allowed to by-pass this step and log into a 
student network with minimum level of access-just internet, you are presented 
with a pop up screen asking you to accept a department security certificate, it 
is to do with the Education Department security log in protocol. 
So, the pop up screen may be this in place, not anything malicious. 
Hope this info helps.

 didn’t even know where the Proxy settings are located within System Prefs 
 when I quizzed him this afternoon so it wasn’t by direct entry. Not sure 
 how the Proxies came to become misaligned, unlikely a result of the Sierra

Re: Macbook Pro Certificates

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Peter and Ronni

After 25 years or more of using Apple products in a school environment, it is 
pretty safe to say that the Department of Ed. is still in denial about even the 
existence of non-Windows operating systems and there is very, very little 
support for other formats, their Techs barely tolerate or support them at any 
level.
Possible solution.
I have been told to completely shut down Apple products, of any type, when 
entering a school wireless network zone and then upon restart, connection 
issues might sort themselves out. I tend to leave my MacBook on for weeks and 
just put it to sleep, this can cause network issues apparently, according to 
our ‘tame' apple friendly Tech.
Also, if too many reconnection attempts are made, Apple apparently is very 
persistent/notorious according to our ‘tame' apple friendly Tech, the servers 
don’t like this, you will be locked out and need your access privileges 
re-instated/ reset at a school level.

Hi Brian & Peter,

I agree with Brian that this issue is at the school’s end. 
The “Show Certificate” but when James clicked does not show the Certificate, 
indicates to me that the Certificate on the School’s Intranet/Internet has been 
updated/changed or expired to the certificate on James MacBook Pro that he 
accessed with before the holiday period.
I would not suspect it to be a Sierra issue.

I expect the problem will only be corrected by the school’s IT Department.

Are other students experiencing similar issue as James?

Re: Macbook Pro Certificates

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Peter

Just as a thought, the Department of Ed is upgrading all school wireless 
networks in preparation for online NAPLAN testing, they missed the cutoff and 
2017 is going to be paper.
They are adding many more wireless routers. Our school has had issues with 
iPads not connecting to the wireless system all Term 1, ongoing. My MacBookPro 
has occasional issues too. 
So, it could be school’s end with the wireless network.
The Department is also having major issues with access to teacher email 
services via Safari and has suggest to use a different application.

Just a bit of ‘insider’ knowledge/ experience.

Also details about the school's environment network WiFi access.

Hi Brian,


Thanks for that feedback.

So might it be better to connect to the 5GHz network for the computers
(fixed location & better speed) and to connect to the 2.4GHz network for
mobile devices -  phones and iPads - for better roaming round the
house/garden and also to share bandwidth between the 2 networks - or is the
modem speed/bandwidth the limiting factor there  ?


Cheers

Re: Wireless band choice

Hi Neil
It sounds like my work set up.
2.4 had better range/ distance but slower connection speed while 5 was a faster 
connection but with a reduced range. So a compromise distance or speed.

Re: New Macbook Pros?

[Brian Risbey]

Hello Ronni, Susan and Rob,
I will be getting one of these MacBookPro 15”. As I mentioned, $6k is expensive 
but that has been the same price of the top specced models for the last 20 
years when I purchased my last 3 Apple laptops, starting with a PowerBook 5300, 
a MacBookPro 15”, then my current 17”. I see that as becoming ‘cheaper’, 
factoring in inflation. I get 6 to 8 years out of the machines, which are used 
daily at work or at home.
I will wait until the new year, when demand settles and I start back to work. I 
think maxing out a machine speed is good idea and it appears that ,in some 
initial reports, they may be upgradeable in the SSD storage area but not RAM, 
after purchase. A few choice dongles to connect to VGA overhead projectors and 
off I go. (Hope they exist!)

Brian

Hi Rob, Susan and Brian,

The new MacBook Pros with two Thunderbolt 3 ports on each side, all four of 
which can be used for charging and expansion. (And no, it won’t charge faster 
if you plug in two chargers; it just picks one.)

Thunderbolt 3, which provides throughput up to 40 Gbps, uses the same connector 
as USB-C and supports DisplayPort (and thus HDMI and VGA, plus Thunderbolt 2, 
via adapters) and USB 3.1 Gen 2, which runs at 10 Gbps and is backward 
compatible with older USB devices. 
These new machines can drive two 5K displays or four 4K displays. 
That’s impressive.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: New Macbook Pros?

[Brian RISBEY]

Hi Rob
I did exactly the same sums this morning, $6k+ but then I considered external 
SSD hard drives and speed of connection ports and maybe just 1Tb internal drive 
might do.
My PowerBook 5300 cost $5k in the early 90s :-)
Over the years all my maxed out MacBooks 15" & 17" have been close to $6k. So, 
they are in fact becoming cheaper, relatively speaking. The last, a 17", now 8 
years old, is still humming along.
I don't know how upgradable this new one will be. Has ifixit torn one down yet? 
Maxing a special build maybe your only option if you don't want an external 
drive.
My 2c worth, (& the other $6499.98)

about the price?

The top of range machine costs A$4,249.00 for 512Gb storage. I've got 400Gb of 
photos!

And then they want  A$1,920.00 to upgrade to a 2TB SSD drive...

This is up to the price level that the first Mac IIs were in the late 1980s...

And then there's nothing in the box to connect my existing devices to.  I've 
got to buy all sorts of adaptors (from $30 to $110) to keep working...

Are Apple going to price themselves out of the market?

Do I have to carry around al sorts of cables and 3rd party devices to use my 
computer as I move around?

Any ideas about how to resolve the issue?

Hi Brian,

You could try:
On a backup that contains the deleted network location:
Locate the Network Preference File located at -

1. Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
2. Manually Drag a copy of this file from the above location to the same 
location on your Mac /Library/preferences/SystemConfiguration/
replacing the file that is already present.
3. Enter your administrator username and password and then Reboot your Mac.

Thank you Ronni,
I will give your suggestion a try.

Hi Brian,

You could try:
On a backup that contains the deleted network location:
Locate the Network Preference File located at -

1. Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
2. Manually Drag a copy of this file from the above location to the same 
location on your Mac /Library/preferences/SystemConfiguration/
replacing the file that is already present.
3. Enter your administrator username and password and then Reboot your Mac.
 
Kind regards,
Ronni

Network Location erased

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All, hope you enjoyed a sunny day,
I mistakenly erased a network location from my system preferences, 
I don’t think that TimeMachine is letting me modify the preferences back to 
yesterdays backup as Systems Preferences are not able to be modified as they 
are required by  the system.

Any hints, it is a work setting and not easily fixed.

Re: Full Hard Drive & Mail

[Brian Risbey]

Thank you Ronni for checking in,
Telstra and I have had some issues with 'changing account details', which are 
now sorted.

I followed your instructions and liberated some space, I am currently creating 
an external copy of my Photo library onto a networked drive, that should free 
up 360 GB and Music another 200GB.
I am going to use my MacMini as the main home computer and this MacBook Pro 17” 
just for work. 
September may see it retired, after 8 years of service.

Thank you again,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Just checking if your problem has been fixed as haven't heard back from you.

Are these Data_Rebuild size 32GB, and Data_Rebuild-1 size 29GB, folders visible 
in the User's ~/Library/Mail/V3/ folder?

If so, I would suspect they are failed rebuilds and can be deleted.
1. Quit Mail first  (I take it you have a current BACKUP! just in case)
2. Then delete the Data_Rebuild folders
3. Open Mail and check all is ok.

But you do need to clear off some GBs of files from your hard drive, as I also 
need to on my MacBook Air which only has 90GB free.

Hi Brian,

Are you using Apple Mail version 9.3 El Capitan? If so a couple of things to 
check:

1. You have  ‘emptied the trash folder’?
Note: Deleting a message in Mail or deleting a folder in the Finder merely puts 
the respective item in the Trash but does not actually delete it. You then have 
to empty the Trash/Deleted folder.

You can set Mail to auto delete items from the Trash folder by:

Going to preferences in Mail
Click on Accounts at the top
Click on Mailbox Behaviours
Set 'Permanently erase deleted items when - ' to a desired length of time e.g. 
One week'
You can do the same for Spam/Junk Mail

2. In your ~/Library/Mail folder
If you see a V2 and a V3 subfolder, the V2 folder is old, stale data left from 
a migration. That could be the source of extra wasted space. You can probably 
delete V2, though I would STRONGLY recommend you save a backup of it somewhere 
to be safe.

3. Note: A common issue people forget is that the Sent messages folder never 
throws anything away so far a decent period of time this can actually become 
the biggest folder, bigger even than your Inbox.

4. Finally check the following

In Finder from the Go menu select - Go to Folder
Type in - ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads
Then you can use the Finder to delete everything here

The contents of Mail Downloads are all the files attached to emails that have 
previously been found and saved. The attachments will still be in the original 
emails if the original emails still exist. However over time this folder will 
build up a lot of old obsolete stuff.

Kind regards,
Ronni

Full Hard Drive & Mail

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All

My 1 TB Solid State Drive is 95% full, time for some pruning…
I am looking at file sizes and noticed that the Mail Folder inside Library is 
77.96GB!, I just went through and removed lots of redundant emails, and I 
noticed files titled:
Data   65GB
   Data_Rebuild size 32GB
   Data_Rebuild-1 size 29 GB

Does this sound correct? 

I am not deleting anything in the Library File, just looking.

It is Music and Picture that are taking up 570GB that I will prune.

Hi Michael,

I think you mean Avira Phantom VPN
https://blog.avira.com/avira-phantom-vpn-now-available-apple-ios-mac/

Avira Phantom VPN is now available for Apple iOS & Mac!
Protection for people with a mixed-technology portfolio

I’m not familiar with this VPN as it was only released in June 2016. 
The VPNs that I do know are  'PIA (privateinternetaccess) VPN’ and Cloak 
 
Public WiFi networks. Are they safe?
Exactly how unsafe are public hotspots?
VERY unsafe!

Airports, hotels… On vacation we also spend the whole day connected to the 
Internet. People want to be able to check Facebook, post photos on Instagram, 
tweet something they've  seen, and answer work emails from wherever they are… 
and it’s possible. We mostly do all these things from a smartphone, or perhaps 
from tablets or (increasingly less) from laptops.

It is quite common to scan for and connect to public WiFi networks which aren’t 
password-protected and let you connect to the Internet cheaply and simply. In 
fact, a typical selling-point of many restaurant chains, coffee shops, nowadays 
is that they offer free WiFi connections to customers, and in many places there 
are public WiFi hotspots provided by local councils.

When I have needed to use Public Wi-Fi Networks (Hotspots) when I’m out and 
about I’ve used CLOAK VPN.
The solution is to find a VPN provider with an app that is iOS compatible. 
I am very happy with Cloak. They have figured out how to deal with the 
limitations of iOS. 
Their app can easily set to trust particularly networks, e.g., your home 
network, assuming it is protected, & you trust your ISP. 
Everything else is untrusted and Cloak will connect with VPN.

 /Quote:
Cloak secures your Internet traffic without the hassle

Thanks to iPads, iPhones, and ever-lighter MacBooks, we’re doing more work and 
play while on the go than ever before. 
A caveat of working this way, however, is that most public Wi-Fi networks 
(hotspots) are anything but secure, which means they’re prime targets for 
would-be hackers, identity thieves, and general do-no-gooders.
 
If you’re lucky, your company provides you with a virtual private network (VPN) 
for securing your Internet activities. 
But if you’re like the rest of us, you need to fend for yourself if you want to 
hide your login credentials, email, and other sensitive activity from prying 
eyes. 

That’s where Cloak comes in.

Put simply, Cloak is a VPN that just works. It encrypts all your Internet 
traffic so other users on the same network can’t snoop over your shoulder, so 
to speak. But Cloak does away with the typical VPN song and dance of digging 
into System Preferences and filling in a bunch of cryptic server details and 
protocols—not to mention having to shop for and set up your own VPN service in 
the first place. With Cloak, you simply sign up for an account at GetCloak.com 
and install a little menu-bar utility.

Yes, it does seem to be a problem limited to some ISPs - not just 
Westnet/Iinet, since our telstra pre-paid also fails. I tried setting the DNS 
to google on one of our machines, but that didn't work either. When I did a 
trace route the other day I succeeded in getting to his nameserver.

I'll get back to Michael and let him know that large numbers of people who are 
specifically interested in his work can't get to his site because of the 
westnet/iinet block. He can take it up with his hosting site.

Re: iPhone Battery Replacement?

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Rod n Bill
I concur, the 6S plus is great for older eyes and reading ebooks. The larger 
screen is a real 'plus'. And it saved me buying an iPad too. Now if they would 
only re-introduce the MacBookPro 17"!

Rod,

If the budget allows, I would go for the 6S.  I had a few issues with my old 
iPhone 4 - battery failing mainly.   I use it the phone 24/7 for emergency 
service needs.

The 6S is excellent.  The size alone justifies it, but also I can actually read 
things without a magnifying glass.  So now joined up with eBooks and reading 
novels again.

I do not need an iPad after all!

Have you considered a refurbished unit from Apple?
Book a Genius appointment at Perth or Booragoon and tell them you'd like an

Re: iPhone data and documents

[Brian Risbey]

Season’s greetings Ronni, Pete, Severin and those interested,

I cannot work out where the 35GB of documents and data came from, didn’t show 
up in any apps, so
I did a 'complete factory reset' and have started again as I didn’t want 
everything re-installed. 
I knew most of settings for wireless, Bluetooth Accessories and reloaded the 
apps, Music and Books. So, all is well.
Thank you again to those who made suggestions.

Hi Brian,

iCloud documents don’t usually add up to a lot unless you’re a heavy user of 
the iWork suite on your iPhone. But when you do, it’s time to make sure these 
aren’t occupying a lot of space. You can remove documents individually from 
Pages, Numbers etc., from iCloud documents. To do this:

Go to Settings -> iCloud
Tap on Storage & Backup
Now tap on Manage Storage
Next, under Documents & Data, tap on each app
Now tap on Edit from the top-left
Tap on Delete All to remove all documents. Alternatively, tap on the ‘-‘ 
against each document to remove it individually.

Actually Brian, go to this link as you might find it helpful -

Re: iPhone data and documents

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Pete

Last synced, yesterday and again today.
Documents and Data 35.59 GB
Photo 52 GB
Music 9.8 GB
Videos 1.8GB

128GB iPh9one 6 Plus.

When I look in iTunes I see a green bar named Documents and Data.

A few IOSs ago you could use your phone as a portable HD but I don’t believe I 
have done that.

When in iTunes when I look under the Apps tab there is a list of Apps and any 
documents that are stored in them, not much there.IOS App scanners and other 
apps show that only a small amount of data is on the phone.

Hi Brian,

I'm still on SL so can't confirm this for El Capitan, but

I just use the Video DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox:

I've used this for some years now and it's been really useful. Works on
other sites besides YouTube. Occasionally stops working when YouTube change
their streaming details but they are usually pretty quick to issue an
upgrade to fix it.

They also have a chrome version - but I've never used chrome, so can't
comment.

HI Brian
Jaksta has been taken over by Applian.  They are offering a good discount for 
previous Jaksta licence owners.
I need to upgrade my OS before I can download it and try it out, so cannot say 
whether its as good as Jaksta.
Would appreciate if you could let me know if you go ahead.

I've been using ClipGrab, which is good for downloading Youtube videos.  I 
think they only ask for donations..

Re: Upgrading to El Capitan???

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Blitto,

I have El Capitan running at a DET SOE4  school,
I can print to networker photocopier, using all its features, including stapler 
and double side…(first time in 27 years!) - wirelessly and use Safari- 
internet. I don’t hook into Admin servers.

Outlook appears happy too, Office 2015  Version 15.15.
Outlook 2011 worked as well before I upgraded.

Is that useful?

Re: el capitan 10.10.1

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Bill

Both children, El Capitan - Version 10.11.1 & MS Office 2016 - Version 15.15, 
are playing nicely together at the moment, latest upgrades all done.

Was some jitteriness (word?) initially as I scrolled up and down in Word 2016, 
haven’t noticed it today. Perhaps a little slower to start-up Word app. and 
open a document from Finder, if I was being picky.

Menus take some getting used to, different icon groupings and even  re-ordering 
of commands in pull-down menus.
I notice more keyboard shortcuts available now that were previously only 
available to 'the dark side’.

Re: Apple ID log in

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All 

I took it back to MacWorx Joondalup, and they 'flashed' the correct serial 
number.
iCloud all happy again and updates were able to be completed successfully.
Thank you Ronni for your diagnosis and experience.

Brian

Yes Brian,
I had this happen after a new logic board replaced in my 17-inch MacBook Pro.
Normally the technician changes the serial number to match the new logic board, 
but some times they 'forget' to :)
Took it back to MacWorx and they 'flashed' the correct serial number.

You'll need to take it to an Apple Technician, or give Daniel a call he might 
have the correct tool to do it for you.

My god the fog is thick down here I can hardly see to drive to my next job.
It was clear before 5am when I started work.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Apple ID log in

[Brian Risbey]

Bingo!

Hi Ronni
Yes the serial number is blank.
This is an older 17" MacBookPro and has had various upgrades and repairs over 
the last 6 years. Perhaps this is why the serial could be missing.

Like Rob, I am waiting for the new Broadwell processors for the 15".

Basically you run a Systems Query Log while you are trying to log-in to the App

It could be a Hardware Serial Number Error.

If it is you'll need to take it to an Apple Store to get them to register the

Re: New Macbook

[Brian Risbey]

Hi Rob
Do you follow MacRumors.com?

While the 13-inch models moved to Intel's latest Broadwell processors, the 
15-inch models continue to use the same Haswell processors from the previous 
generation, as Intel has yet to release quad-core Broadwell processors suitable 
for the larger model.

http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/


That is why it is very similar in specifications!

Hi everyone

I'm a little bit confused/annoyed.

I bought my 15" Macbook pro (2.6 GHz I7 4 core, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) late in 2012.

Since my 3 year Applecare is running out, and the machine is slowing down, I'm 
looking at 'upgrading' to a new laptop.

I went in to Macworx today to see what was available. The top end machine 
available was a 15" 3.1GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, 16Gb RAM and 512GB 
'storage'.

Most of the tech specs seem hardly changed - what happened to Moore's Law? The 
price doesn't seem to have changed much either - if anything it has gone up. 
What is even more disturbing is that the storage has decreased from 1Tb to 
512Gb - in the top-end machine! Are they serious???

My current system uses 650Gb - 350 Gb in photos. I can't upgrade without 
splitting up photo libraries or deleting old photos. This is 1990s thinking, 
and the Apple hardware is forcing me backwards. In almost 30 years of Mac use, 
I can't recall storage capacity going down.

What are my options for a portable machine which exceeds to capability of my 
current machine? A few years ago I heard that it is possible to install OSX on 
non Mac hardware. Is this still an option?

Hoping for some creative solutions...
Rob

I have tried un-authorising the MacBookPro, now it isn’t on the list and iTunes

just grey out, App Store just hangs too. After all this now change of status.

I can internet search and mail is working perfectly so it isn’t my connection

Is there a need for a clean system install with expert assistance?

Re: Two step verification

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All & Ronni,

I have read and been through all this information,
now according to my iPhone 6 OS9:

Cannot set up Two-Factor Authentication
is not available for your apple id at this time.

RE: Apple ID:
I can change password, see list of Devices, but none of them, all current 
software updates, have:
This device cannot be used to receive Apple ID verification codes.
I have my Recovery Key but haven’t been asked to enter it anywhere.

Okay, mobile phone number is required, for text message, I entered:
County Code = 61  (correct format, yes?)
Mobile 040….  (Correct format, yes?)

Am I missing something? I still can’t sign in to iTunes or iCloud in system 
settings or App Shop when trying to update, on my MacBook Pro OSX 10.11. 
programs just hang and require Force Quit.

Brian

With two-step verification <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570> turned on for

You'll need to provide your Recovery Key and be able to receive a temporary

Two step verification

[Brian Risbey]

Hi All
So
I have upgraded to El Capitan, all good, even Office 2016 is happy.
But, I can't get a trusted computer for my iCloud two-step verification.
I enter password into iTunes and it 'hangs', iCloud too, have to force quit!
Been through the process, changed password, waited 2 days, yippee, still no 
change.

My iPhone6plus should be able to receive message with code,Pad can't be a 
trusted device, so, is my old MacBookPro 17" too old for all this? My other 
computer is MacMini server not running El Capitan so ineligible. 

There is any advice in Apple support for El Capitan on this subject just on the 
beta issues.

Apple ID is working on iPhones and iPads.
Waiting was fun:
(This email is to notify you that your waiting period has ended and you can now 
set up two-step verification for your Apple ID)

Hi Brian,

Did you click the ‘here’ link in my previous message it would have taken you to 
this Developer Support page below.
Two-Factor Authentication in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan

Have a good read there as it might help you. If all fails you could follow the 
instructions under:
How do I regain access to my account if I can’t sign in?

"Account recovery will take a few days—or longer—depending on what account 
information you are able to provide. The process is designed to get you back 
into your account as quickly as possible while denying access to anyone who 
might be pretending to be you."

Changes to two-factor verification for Apple ID

• Two-factor authentication: Apple has beefed up security by adding two-factor 
authentication for your Apple ID in El Capitan and iOS 9. 

Apple’s current “two-step” system requires users to specify a trusted device or 
trusted phone number to which a four-digit code can be sent which you can use 
to confirm your identity. Without both the password and verification code you 
won’t be able to access your account.

Apple has posted an explanation of its plans for two-factor authentication in 
El Capitan and iOS 9, here. 
Similar to the existing system, users will set up at least one iOS and OS X 
device as “trusted devices.” These devices appear in a list in your Apple ID 
account and can be removed from there. They can be found in OS X in iCloud 
system preferences, by clicking Account Details, and in iOS 9 in Settings > 
iCloud > Account. You also have to verify at least one phone number.

Following set up, whenever you sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or 
browser, you will need to also verify your identity by entering your password 
plus a six-digit verification code that will be displayed automatically on any 
Apple devices you are already signed in to that are running iOS 9 or OS X El 
Capitan. If you don’t have one of your trusted Apple devices handy, you can 
receive the code on your phone via a text message or via phone call instead.

Hi All

So, I checked my iCloud account, all up to date… then I read "and you need to 
log on using a PC or a Mac", very clever, my MacBookPro freezes when I enter 
the password, 
very “Catch 22”

iCloud log in and iTunesStore Log in

[Brian Risbey]

Hi all,
I mentioned in my upgrade comments that I couldn’t log into iTunes or iCloud.
Still can’t.
Changed password. updated iPad and iPhone, all happy.
MacBookPro, not processing change, log in screen goes grey, unresponsive.
Tried iCloud and iTunes to re-enter password. 
Delete plists and restarted,
Been through Apple support - nothing…
Have I missed something?
