Re: An iTunes question

I can’t find any genius setting on Apple Music on my iPhone and if I ask HomePod to play more like this track, Siri says genius is. Not available. Am I missing something? Thanks Harry > On 17 Jun 2018, at 17:22, Kristeen Hughes wrote: > > I have apple music, and it’s fine if genius needs to

Re: upgrading my 2009 macbook memory?

Adding extra RAM is easy (my wife did it for me) and my 2009 MacBook does run High Sierra - but voiceover is now so sluggish that it might have been wiser not to have upgraded the OS. So, I agree that the latest and greatest is not necessarily the best choice! Harry > On 7 Jun 2018, at 20:54,

Re: Using Hearing aids with Iphone, anyone has experience?

I just got a ComPilot to connect my Phonak Nathos S+ Wireless hearing aid to my iPhone 7 Plus via Bluetooth. The results were very disappointing. The ComPilot made things more tinny and when I tried using BlindSquare, as soon as the GPS navigation app started speaking, the robotic ComPilot

Re: Has anyone noticed Siri getting exponentially worse?

Today I repeatedly asked Siri on my HomePod to play the latest episode of the Apple Insider podcast - and each time she played a programme called Apple Cider! I wonder whether it was her sense of humour... Harry > On 17 Feb 2018, at 18:19, Donna Goodin wrote: > > I've been

Re: Apple watch

Like Marie, perhaps, I have my watch series 3 set at full volume and that is ok most of the time but if traffic goes by while I’m out, I really cannot hear the watch. I’m in my 60’s and do have some hearing loss. I will get another hearing test soon but I would love a bit more watch volume too!
