Yes, I agree with that one sometimes. I like to play music shuffled on my bluetooth speaker at work and if I have wet hands I have to use Siri to ask it to play music. If I ask it to play my hard rock or heavy metal collections shuffled it does fine, but if I ask it to play alternative shuffled

I went through the Apple Store app, and followed the trade-in option when ordering the new mini. I’m glad to be getting something for it because I think the SATA HD is going bad. It has been doing weird things for about a year, and I have been backing it up constantly in anticipation of its

I just ordered a new Mac mini and it is on the way. I am getting $150 USD for my current 2012 mini, which will be applied to my credit card/Apple Pay used to purchase the new mini. I am being sent a kit to send in the old mini. Shipping is being paid by Apple or whoever is the subcontractor.

Hello, Can you recommend a way to download a video from youtube on my iMac so that I can play it via Zoom without advertisements? I only need to do this rarely and so ideally want a free or low cost way to do it. I have tried some of the approaches from a Google search but find them most

Hi, To add to Julie’s comments, the iPhone and iPad seem to retain their value longer and thus are more likely to give you some extra towards a new Apple device. I have used this system with both iPhone and iPad, and was pleased. The Mac is a different story. As I mentioned, past about five

Hi Ian, About 3 years back, when Apple stores were open to go into, I traded in 2 Iphones and an Ipad. The only thing I was able to do in the store was let them wipe all the data and personal information off of my devices. The trade-ins had to be done by mailing them in. And if I am recalling
