Re: A question about the Sonos

[Kristeen Hughes]

If you use an iPhone, can you adjust the volume, bass, treble and such? The 
Sonos itself is totally flat, and I don’t know how to use its controls.

A question about the Sonos

[Kristeen Hughes]

I just got a Sonos Player: 5. I have installed the Sonos software, but it seems 
very visual and I can do nothing with it. It appears to have added my music, 
but all I see are images and I’m wondering how to actually make it work. It is 
testing my stupidity levels right now and finding them high.

Re: Battery draining quicly on ipod touch latest generation

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hello Anne,

Thank you for responding.

I have updated to 10.1.1 on my ipod touch but it still feels rather dodgy.  I 
have spoken to Apple support and they have advised me to restore my ipod.  I 
have done so.  Things have  become better but I'm still uncertain.  What makes 
me worried is that I would use my ipod touch for an hour or so, never more than 
that, and then lock it, and when I use it again, and look at the battery level, 
it would be suddenly 20 % less although my ipod would have been on lock 
throughout the time.

Hi, Jonathan,

Just wanted to make sure the email on the security of email communication comes

Your Email. Just Better.
Hey, we love email. Unfortunately, it was designed decades ago without any real 
thought to security or privacy. Some 13-year-old Estonian boy is probably 
reading yours right now. Even though we all use email — to send and store our 
most precious personal and business data — it’s truly broken. You needn’t 
worry, though. We have the fix and it works with any email address.

SecureMyEmailTM is email software with end-to-end encryption built-in. Give 
your email and attachments the safety, security, and privacy they deserve.

I think my email is fine. Why do I need to encrypt my email?
Why not? You don’t have to change anything with your current email. Just use it 
when you want to.

SecureMyEmailTM is a fully-featured email client that can be used in parallel 
with your current email setup or software. You can use it for all your email, 
or just switch over to it for emails you want to ensure are protected. Even if 
you just use it for a few emails a year, it’s well worth the 99 cents.


Google, Yahoo, and other mail providers, read your email and attachments.

They state this is to better target ads to you, enforcement of their terms, or 
other reasons they may deem necessary. We’d guess it’s also about building one 
big ol’ permanent profile on you. Not cool.
Perhaps you consider this a fair exchange for free email service. Maybe you 
don’t. Point is, you probably would like the ability to send and receive a 
truly private email every now and then. Right? SecureMyEmailTM lets you choose 
what you share with your email provider. And what you don’t.
Email is more than just communication. It’s your digital filing cabinet.

If you’re like us, you save a lot of important things in your email. 
SecureMyEmailTM not only secures your email and attachments in transit but can 
protect them when they’re stored in email. Only you can access them and their 
contents.


Protect against identity thieves,
email hackers, and other assorted snoops.

Even if someone does break into your actual email account, email and 
attachments sent and received using SecureMyEmailTM will remain encrypted and 
of no use to them.
Plain old-fashioned privacy?

Not to get corny, and surely not to date ourselves, but we remember when 
putting something in “the mail” meant something and you didn’t dare tamper with 
it. There was a trust there and an expectation of privacy. Like its namesake, 
“email” should at least be as safe as putting something in an envelope. But 
it’s always been far worse. Until now.


You don’t have to learn a thing. It’s easy.

We spent over two years and a gazillion dollars making it that way. If you’re 
using email now, have no fear.

Re: playing music in IOS 10?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Kawal,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I do know about that other table.  It just appears 
that with the interface for Music in IOS 10, you have to dig a little deeper 
before you can actually play anything.  Not a good move on Apple's part, IMHO, 
but I guess that's just life.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Battery draining quicly on ipod touch latest generation

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Andrew,

Is it on iOS 10.1 or 10.1.1? There’s a problem on some iOS devices with these 
releases. I had it on my iPhone SE, but fixed it by restoring to factory 
settings. I had to do this for iOS 10.1 and iOS 10.1.1. Apparently, a new iOS 
10.1.1 has been released which does not cause the problem.
When it happened to me, I reported it to Apple Accessibility and they had me 
send them the crash logs for my iPhone, where they found multiple crashes. The 
problem is not imaginary.

Cheers,

Anne

Battery draining quicly on ipod touch latest generation

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Listers,

I have a new ipod touch - the latest one - but I'm somewhat puzzled if not 
disappointed, that the battery doesn't last on it as long as it is promised in 
the advert on Apple's website.  I haven't been using it very much and yet the 
battery drains quite quickly.  In the last 24 hours i would have used it for 
about 3 hours and it's already down to 20% only. Is this normal?  Just wanted 
to know what your experiences with batter life are, any tips and tricks?  I've 
switched off "background app refresh", and enabled "reduced motion" both of 
which are supposed to improve battery life.  I've also switched of mail 
fetching so that I do it only manually.

Re: playing music in IOS 10?

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hi Donna.

Last week I connected my new 7 + to my Mac to get a ring tone as I have a 
favourite ring tone that someone sent me many years ago and it's still my 
favourite ring tone.  I don't know why I can't just open the same ring tone 
which is in ICloud to get it in to my ring tones so I need to connect to Itunes 
for that one item.  Sorry for all that, let's get back to your question.

So do a bit of exploring in the library table and there you should find your 
albums.

By the way I love listening to music using the I phone 7 plus.  The only thing 
is those headphones which are supplied are not loud enough.  I'm waiting for 
those Earpods.

Re: playing music in IOS 10?

[Donna Goodin]

OK, well, having said this, I decided to give Siri another go, to see if I'd 
have better results under IOS 10.  And sure enough, I did.  Four out of five 
tries, I was actually able to get Siri to play what I wanted.  So maybe that 
will be the way to go, now.

How to research a problem after forced shutdown

[Larry Thacker Jr.]

Twice in the past week, I have come in to wake my Mac Mini from sleep to fined 
it hopelessly locked up, apparently due to a rogue process eating up all the 
resources.  The only way to regain control is to force the machine to shut 
down.  Since there’s nothing I can do when it gets into this state, I’m 
wondering if one of you Mac OS experts can tell me where I might look after the 
fact to discern the source of the problem.  Are there logs I can examine?  My 
computer usage patterns have not changed significantly except that nightowl has 
been left running and I remember Skype possibly upgrading itself in the past 
week or so.

playing music in IOS 10?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

Am I correct that there is no way to play an album accept to open it and select 
the first song?  This is very time-consuming and tedious.  On my iPod, which 
still runs IOS 9, Play is one of the options that shows up in the rotor when a 
particular album is selected.  Is there any way to configure IOS 10 so that it 
behaves similarly?
Cheers,
Donna

Next step is to restore from Time Machine once the SSD is installed. 
What do I want to boot into, Recovery Mode? So I can format the drive from DU,

RE: Mac Mini as a windows machine?

[Simon Fogarty]

It's not as easy as VM fuson, But it's doable it just took some playing to make 
sure I got things correct,
 I also made sure that I had my settings correct by getting someone sighted to 
check things for me before the final ok.

 Fusion is easier.
