Re: anyone having trouble with Siri on HomePod and Wemo smart plugs?

Hi Donna, I had a similar problem with the same smart plug and Amazon Echo. To solve the problem I had to reset the Wemo plug. Just resetting my Echo and rediscovery didn’t work. I had to follow the reset directions on the Wemo plug and then set it up again. After that it worked

anyone having trouble with Siri on HomePod and Wemo smart plugs?

Hi all, All week, my kitchen HomePod has not been playing nice with my Wemo smart plugs. On Thursday I did a factory reset of the HomePod and that helped, but today the problem came back. Siri on homePod can neither turn them on or off. Just wondering, is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone

Re: AIFF file converter

Hi, Interesting and ingenious idea. I wonder, though, if there still might be an issue with a purchased ring-tone. if the ring-tone is purchased and has DRM, will the player within Mail be able to decode it? Hope I'm off-base with that one. Later... Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech

Re: Incoming email sounds on the Mac

Hi, The Mail app uses sounds as opposed to the Messages app using tones. It's sort of how the specific app accesses noise files. Yes, Mail does not have as many to choose from because it does not access the tone kit library. I'm not in the know as to why Mail accesses audio files

Re: Incoming email sounds on the Mac

And this is what confuses me. Sinking between apple devices logged into the same apple account is usually very easy and seamless except for this one thing. I mean all of the ring ring tones and alert tones that are available on the iPhone are available in the messages app on the Mac, but there

Re: Incoming email sounds on the Mac

Hi Simon, If it was music, then it's easy. Tones are a different animal as they are not managed within the Music app or iTunes anymore. I believe that it would be an exercise in futility with purchased tones but workable with self-developed or shared tones. Later... Tim Kilburn Jamf

RE: (Auto-reply) Apple Support

Yeah as petrus said there is no apple store in NZ, We have a number of retail chains that sell apple products but accessibility is not something they know of or probably how to spell. I’ve tried teaching some retail staff how to use voiceover but that went in one ear and out the other.
