Hi Tim, Practically it’s opening it, but doesn’t appear right. It cannot be read. So a friend of mine suggested me to play with encoding. I did so and everything seems to be OK. Thanks a lot > 9 Φεβ 2022, 9:32 μμ, ο χρήστης «'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > » έγραψε: > > Hi, > > So, you

Recovering Safari Bookmarks on Mongtery

RE: Should I assume Installed when being Downloaded?

Thanks much, Tim. In the application Folder, apps are arranged in table form, isn’t it? Once I interact the table and arrow down to the required app, should I hit VO-Spacebar or should I stop interacting and open the app outside the table? Thanks! From: 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries

Hi, That’s a good idea, although it’s more for AirPlaying music from your iPhone/iPad to the speakers. The shortcuts can be sent out from the HomePod, but they do not normally control the HomePod. But, yes, definitely you can use shortcuts on your iPhone/iPad to send music to Home enabled

Re: Has anyone else noticed that since the last update, their Homepods are a hot mess?

Hi! I wonder if you could make use of the shortcuts app on the phone. So you can creat a shortcut which will work on all your apple devices. I don’t have these speakers so I can not try this at my home. /A > 9 feb. 2022 kl. 20:58 skrev 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > : > > That did work.

Re: Has anyone else noticed that since the last update, their Homepods are a hot mess?

Hi, I don’t believe that Siri is particularly adept at multi-action commands. She can sometimes request more info, but a “complicated” request messes with her mind :). You still have issues though with the playing of albums though, correct? Later… Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple

Re: Has anyone else noticed that since the last update, their Homepods are a hot mess?

Hi, If you wish to have music play on additional speakers, try using the phrase, “Hey Siri, also play this in such and such room”, of course substituting such and such room with the specific room that your Home app believes has those specific speakers. That works for me when I want the

Hi, Tim, I may not have been clear about this. Our sound system is a combination of Homepods, HomePod minis, and Sonos speakers. Intercom works fine on all the Apple speakers. The two things that don’t work are Siri commands asking it to play music that is in my library, and getting it to

Hi Donna, On your iPhone or iPad, go to your Home app. Do all the rooms and devices within those rooms show as responsive? Next, if you have the intercom feature enabled, try asking Siri to intercom to such and such of room where the HomePods are registered. So, you would say “Hey Siri,

So this has almost gotten commical. Here is what I did this morning. First, I told the homepod to play an album, which failed, as expected. So I decided to see if I could trick her into doing what I want, so I told her to play that artist. I then just kept saying Next Track until she finally

I agree this sounds awful. It’s honestly one of the reasons I’ve kind of given up on voice assistance for now you never know what you’re going to get. Alexa is often OK but then randomly it doesn’t work. I guess we could say the same for operating systems to appoint but I like the old way of
