Re: urgent! Thorough and Good back up programs

Yes, reverse it. For extra points, defragment and zero the Windows partition, and use bzip2 to compress the output of dd. That makes an even smaller file. It’s a shame that all this can’t be easily automated, although to be fair Apple has taken great care of Apple’s own side of the fence.

Apple TV-No Optical Port

Hello, I have a question. I know that there are 3.5 mm jack to blue tooth adaptors, which I learned a while back. Will this work with the new Apple TV if one needed to use an optical cable to rout the Apple TV through their receiver? This may be an option for those who are not in the market

Re: Apple TV-No Optical Port

Totally forget that option. The ONLY connections on the Apple TV are as follows: 1. RJ45 port for ethernet. 2. HDMI port for connecting to either HDTV or HD capable AV receiver. 3. MiniUSB. 4. Optical digital output. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac,

Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

Hi all, so if you have multiple albums by a given artist, how do you get your i-device to play all songs from all albums? I've looked in the Apple Support forums, and saw something that said you did it by tapping on the artist photo. I've tried tapping the artist's name, but that did not do

Re: Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

Hi Alan, thanks for responding. I don't have any problems with playlists, the playlist tab at the bottom is very easy to find. What I would like to do is be able to pick a specific artist, say Erik Clapton, and play all the songs that I have by him in my library. You used to be able to do

RE: Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

Donna, I sync my desired playlists to my iPhone 6 so that my iPhone actually contains the music I enjoy listening to as opposed to using Apple Music or another streaming service. The way I would listen to a particular artist on my iPhone would be to call up Siri and say something like "Play Bruno

Learning Pages for the Mac

Re: Anyone know how to play all songs by an artist on an iPod or iPhone?

Hi Donna, So have you tried asking Siri to play Eric clapton to see what happens? I'm still using ios 8.3 so my music app has not been affected by the changes they brought in to support apple music. I'd be curious how Siri would handle a request to play tracks by artist when both owned and

Re: Apple TV-No Optical Port

The new Apple TV, which isn't even available to purchase yet, has dropped the optical audio out. So the only option is to get your audio via HDMI or send it to an airport express with optical audio outputs. They did add 7.1 surround sound if you're really into that home theater sound setup.

another braille question..

Hi, OK, this is probably a stupid one, but is computer braille the same as 8 dot? And, if I have 8 dot mode turned on, can I leave the contracted box ticked? I suppose I’ll have to get used to reading in 8 dot mode if this is the same as computer braille, but honestly, so far, when I’ve tried

Hi, Can somebody enlighten me as to how to read .brf files on the mac? I thought I could just pull up one in text edit and as long as I was reading with a braille display it’d be fine. I just tried to do this with a file and it was gobbledy gook! I am using a brilliant bi40. Thanks! Caitlyn

Re: another braille question..

Computer braille is the same as 8-dot braille. In computer braille, there is a different dot pattern for each symbol. For letters, uppercase letters have dot 7 added to the letter. Numbers and punctuation are different. Remember, print is not contracted. One cannot have contracted braille
