Certainly to Amazon. I’m not sure if it’s them or if it is the companies concerned. Since Netflix in particular used not to have this problem, I’m thinking it’s on Amazon. But I really don’t know. I know lots of people have told Amazon they don’t like it, to no avail. Sent from my iPhone >

My only problem with the fire stick is the screen reader. Apps like Hulu and Netflix for example, don’t honor the screen reader settings that you have set. If you speed it up your speech, when you go into apps like that, it slows down to a crawl. It’s very very annoying. It’s a good product.

This isn’t an Apple product, but definitely check out the Amazon 4k Fire TV stick. It’s on sale, accessible, has an excellent remote with buttons instead of a touch screen, has excellent voice control compared to Siri, and the best part is that it’s on sale right now for $24.99. The Apple TV

It’s a very dependant question, What type of connection does the external drive have or allow for And what type of connector does your mac book have? If you don’t have the right connectors either side then you will require an adapter but that is the question what do you have and what do you

The new MacBookPro computers have a usb-C connector. There are some docking stations that can provide several old style USB ports, an ethernet jack and a video port. I would expect you can also find just a simple cable with usb-C on one end and the appropriate connector on the other.

Hi, I believe that she is simply hoping to manage apps through iTunes or its replacement. In either case, this is no longer an option. The older mobile apps may still reside in the Mobile Apps folder in the iTunes Media folder, but there is no longer facility to manage apps from within
