This may be a question for my car forums but I'll ask here as well. My 2015 Honda Fit connects via bluetooth to my iPhone. In the past, it would automagically play music pretty much where it left off except when I updated the iOS or the Apple Music app. Life was beautiful. Then I bumped into...

Ok. I was about to do that anyway. I'll ping back if I see it again after the update.

I may not have been clear. I am logged in and working -- or trying to work but I can't until I reboot because of this issue. In fact, just picking the "Shutdown" from the Apple menu takes several tries to pick it before the menu loses focus.

I didn't see any similar posts... Sometimes (maybe four times total) since updating to Sierra when I come down stairs in the morning, the application will loose focus and keyboard input will be sent to nowhere. This happens for all the applications. The name of the app in the menu does not...

I have my MBP set up to see the console messages during boot. Recently there are a ton of messages at boot time like this: Oct 26 19:54:42 localhost kernel[0]: Sandbox: launchd(1) System Policy: deny(1) file-write-flags /private/var/run/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64.map and Oct 25 19:51:26...

The Apple Music app in IOS 10 has a sensible download algorithm finally. Perhaps this was true before but the UI didn't give me the idea that it was. Now, when I download an album, all the songs queue up but only 3 are actively downloaded at a time. This makes much more sense and I predict it...

I have an early 2011 MBP with 10.11.6 on it running Firefox 48.0.1. I went to the facebook home page to create a new account and clicked the link that says "Create a Page for a celebrity, band or business". I poked a few of the squares and then went to bed (not creating an account) but leaving...

Thank you for the tidbits. My experimenting "failed" mostly. I did all of the suggestions above plus many more but my battery kept hemorrhaging power. It was dropping several percent per hour and the only thing that would stop it was going into Airplane mode. I was going to do a complete...

About a week ago my iPhone battery started to drain very quickly. Its an iPhone 6+ that is less than 12 months old. I realize that batteries eventually become unable to hold a charge but this feels like something else. The first experiment I did was charged it to 100% and went into airplane...

If you have a tab delimited file, then this will be a good first step. Lets assume the file is called renames.txt. It has two columns separated by a tab with the from names on the left and the "to" names on the right. Select the text between the dotted lines and copy it to your clipboard...

can you get to a flat file (not a spreadsheet) two columns of names: from to If the names never have spaces, you can separate the names with a space. If they do, find a character that does not exist in the file names. This link might help with this first step...

This is roughly the same issue I have. I come home and plug in my laptop to the USB drive used for Time Machine. It starts up a backup but it never finishes. It slows down and says things like 12 hours to complete but even after 12 hours it still says 12 hours to complete. This started with...

I just tried it. Apple's Map app found one place (as before). Google's Map app spun forever and never finished. I tried it more than once. But you gave me an idea... maybe "chainsaw businesses" or something along that logic. Maybe there are some keywords that trigger the type of search I'm...

I was at the grocery store and had just left the place that sharpens chainsaw chains because it was no longer in business. So I wanted to search the local area for businesses that sharpen chainsaw chains. The brand is Stihl. I first tried the Google's Map app, then Apple's Map app, then...

By accident I discovered the following: Apple -> Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Logic Click "Only these users" but then don't add any users. Now if you try to ssh into the machine, it just disconnects -- no error. If you do "ssh -v -v -v ...." you get stuff like you would expect but...

Thanks. That is what I was guessing but I could not find it explicitly mentioned anywhere. No... its not important to me. I just saw lots of hoopla and was curious.

Ok. I give. What is the secret? I have the new iTunes 12.1 on a Mac 10.8. It has notification center but I can't figure out how to open the widget that iTunes is suppose to have now. Is this limited to a newer version of Mac OS X? Thank you for your time.

Thanks guys. I just had my laptop reboot. The battery (for some unknown reason) wasn't charging but now it is. With an old battery it seems that you don't get a very graceful shutdown. Its curious that Apple is using the Y1 Tri-wing screws. i wonder why they chose those over torx or the...

This is an early 2011 17" MBP. The battery cycle count says 502 and the condition says "Service Battery". So... I find various "How To"s on how to replace the battery. Looks pretty easy. Does anyone have a suggestion of a good place (or a bad place to avoid) when buying a replacement...

Interesting... I'm a Unix guy starting with BSD 4.2 in 1984. So when Mac finally went to OS X, I was really happy. It was a real operating system with real protection between processes and a real file system and a real interrupt structure. I also like how Apple will cut off the old baggage...
