Contacts in Sierra

I may not have looked at Contacts since installing Sierra so not sure when things went south. I found duplicates so used the look for duplicates function. In the On My Mac section, all the groups are doubled. So before I do any more on the Mac, I will look at the contacts on my

Amadeus Pro: Working with Audio Unit Effects

Hi everyone, I love Amadeus Pro so far. Just started using it a few weeks ago. However, is there a way to accessibly apply audio unit effects? I'm trying to apply a high pass filter, but can't see a way to configure the settings. I just see a dropdown with presets, of which there are none, a

Re: Syncing tones

Hi, Really, other than the limits on length, there's no difference between a Text tone and a Ring tone. I can go in to set my default Text tone and see all my Ring tones that are less than 30 seconds. Sometimes, you'll need to expand an item to see tones that fit within a specific category.

Haha. Last week I tried using “computer” as the wake word for the Amazon Echo. I quickly discovered that I didn’t like it because, when one has to yell “computer" over a noisy household, the “p” in computer lends itself to spittle. Yuck! I switched the wake word back to Alexa. -- The
