[WAMUG] 3G Closure affecting Apple Watch?
Hi Folks An email from Telstra has me wondering if I need to get a new Apple Watch? I have a Series 4 (2018): Many smart watches and wearables can operate in “standalone” mode. This means you can make and receive calls or use data without having to carry a smartphone. While most smart watches and wearables are 4G compatible, some do not support our main 4G frequency band, 700 MHz (also known as B28). Once we turn off 3G from 30 June 2024, these devices will only work on a limited set of 4G frequencies and as a result, may experience a reduction in Telstra mobile network coverage. You’ll still be able to use data or make voice calls using the cellular feature on your device, but the service may work intermittently on our mobile network. When your smart watch or wearable is connected to your mobile handset via Bluetooth, your experience will be based on your handset’s network capability. Impacted devices include: * Apple Watch Series 3 * Apple Watch Series 4 * Apple Watch Series 5 * Galaxy Watch * Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <https://www.mail-archive.com/wamug@wamug.org.au/> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Settings & Unsubscribe - <http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug>
Re: [WAMUG] Which Email address?
Thank you everyone.
I have opted in to The Messaging Company (I think following Daniel K’s
instructions).
I have changed my “send new mail address" in Apple Mail to
[1]bli...@mac.com
I will also keep my iinet address and review this when TMC decide to
start charging.
I guess I have a year to change email address for various
accounts/logins from my iinet one to my mac.com one.
Cheers
Blitto

As I understand the situation, IINET or WESTNET are the internet
service providers and that won’t change.
One isn’t obliged to use @ iinet or @ westnet.
I haven’t used those addresses for several years and I’m happy with all
the apple addresses @me @ Mac @ iCloud.

Hi Rod, I am with Westnet as my ISP - same org as iinet I
understand.
Westnet advised me a couple of months back too they are outsourcing
the
email management. This was received with big groans. However,
Westnet
(and iinet) are outsourcing the email management to The Messaging
Company. You have the choice to Opt In to their plan, in which case
they will manage the full migration of your Westnet (or iinet) Mail
accounts to The Messaging Company, but importantly you will keep
exactly the same email address afterwards. I have opted in as
making a
change to a different email address would be a huge undertaking
with
all the tangles with multiple other subscriptions, providers etc my
email address is associated with. Same to for the 4 other family
members in my family. I dug further into this - the first year of
email
management is free with The Messaging Company and then from year 2,
they will charge a fee for the email management. If I look at my
Westnet plan, the current email management fee will disappear form
day
1 after migration and thereafter. I don't know yet how much The
Messaging Company will charge from year 2.
You can ring the helpline for further details if other questions or
there is an FAQ page for the commonly asked questions.
Kind Regards
Peter Crisp

I have the following email addresses:
rb...@iinet.net.au

Thank you

Re: [WAMUG] External Monitor for MacBook Pro
Thanks to everyone for your useful advice. So I’m thinking it doesn’t seem essential to spend big bucks. Nor does it seem the monitor needs to be labelled “mac compatible”. Probably don’t need 4K resolution, but 1920x1080 or 2560 x 1440 might be nice. I am wondering whether Brightness specs are important? Some are 250 nits? Others are 300 or higher. Anyway going to look around at Officeworks and JB.

RANT WARNING! iiNet NBN
Sorry - smoke coming out of my ears I guess this is the sad result of a great WA company being taken over by TPG I have been a loyal iiNet customer for 25 years 15 days ago I signed up with iiNet to switch from iiNet Broadband to iiNet NBN After numerous stuff-ups, being on hold for 20 - 40 minutes at a time, not receiving promised call-backs, receiving a call-back yesterday FIVE hours after requesting one etc I am still not connected to the NBN. Finally my hardware arrived on Friday afternoon. I connected it as instructed on Saturday - guess what? It doesn’t work. Finally have been told today that it can’t proceed as iiNet are waiting for my connection request to be lodged with NBN.CO I asked the caller whose job was that - she replied -“iinet’s” Not satisfactory? Don’t worry sir it should all be taken care of in the next 2 to 3 days. And don’t disconnect anything in the meantime So now I wait for up to another 3 days with no Internet (as i had to disconnect my existing Broadband.

Replace Timecapsule????
Hi WAMUGers Haven’t been able to complete a wirelessTime Machine backup for a while. OS 10.12.6 Have a feeling the Time Capsule goes on the blink now and then. Complicated by the TC disk getting pretty full and the attached external Hard drive giving up the ghost. Bought a new external hard drive and plugged it into the TimeCapsule and started backing up last night. After a few hours Time Machine just failed/quit - no error message. Tried again today - failed again after a few hours (60GB done out of 500) So please: 1) Do I get rid of the Timecapsule? 2) Can my wireless internet and attached Time Machine external backup drive work from my iiNet modem/router 3) other suggestions? many thanks Blitto Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: New Macbook Pros?
Hi everyone I really sweated on buying the new 12 inch Macbook 18 months ago. 512 GB internal drive Must say I’m really pleased with it! So light and easy to pull out in the middle of a meeting, in the lounge chair, in bed etc etc Don’t often have the need for plugging in peripherals, but when I do- the apple adaptors do the trick. Plug in a usb flash drive, a usb hard drive or a projector cable no worries. Regarding managing photos: - I got to the stage where I now use Aperture to manage my Photo Library. I select the option to store my original files on an external drive and low res versions on the Macbook. Still have 50 GB free - but I’m a terrible hoarder! No longer making lots of movies. A teeny bit of Photoshop and plenty of Aperture, MacPhun Creative Kit and Plug-ins, Aurora HD a teeny bit etc When I do the School Newsletter I use the school 15 inch Macbook Pro - just for a bit of screen real-estate. cheers Blitto Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: iPhone 7 or 8?
Dear Daniel, Ronni, Susan, Peter and Robin Thanks for your thoughtful input. Yes - photography is important to me. I have to stay with Telstra for my bush trips. The 7S is too big for my pocket. I can only justify a new phone every 3 or more years. I’m thinking ATM to wait for the 8 and maybe get a new battery for my current 5.

iPhone 7 or 8?
My iPhone 5 is due for replacement (but still going fine). Would you get the 7 or wait for the 8? I’m thinking the 8 will have some big camera improvements AND new battery technology may equate to a much longer lasting battery. ta Blitto Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Swelling Macbook Air
Dear WAMUGers We have a macbook air at school- around 6 years old that has suddenly started to swell. I believe this is due to the battery swelling. Is this dangerous? How should it be disposed of? your advice appreciated Is it as serious as suggested below ta Blitto "Rod. Yes its fking dangerous! Don’t plug it in! Call the WA bomb squad and walk away! Or cover yourself in serious protective garments and remove the battery. Seriously heavy duty gloves and eye protection at least! If you are successful and haven’t received 3rd degreed burns, place the battery in a sealed appropriate bag and dispose as it as if it was a normal battery. The macbook is 6 years old put it in a display case, or use it as part of your computer history class." Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
