Re: Transfer photos from iPhone to MacBook
I found a simple solution. If there are say 150 photos in album all one needs to do is press SELECT ALL and then AIRDROP to the computer!

Re: Using Logitech 'Keys to Go' with iPhone
开云体育?Basically, it said if the keyboard is not listed, discovered, to press and hold the Bluetooth connect button for two seconds.? Your iPhone should be displaying Settings/ Bluetooth/ BT discovered devices. The keyboard should be added to the list. You then press the name if the device, and after that it should connect.? Unless one device is extremely old, you shouldn’t even have to enter a pin. They should just pair, and it should show as connected in the iPhone settings. ?

Re: Using Logitech 'Keys to Go' with iPhone
开云体育What do you mean “right model”??Logitech seems to no longer make the Keys-to-go” model. From the 2015 article you found, the photo shows it has markings to use with both Windows and Apple. It mentions the iPhone 6, which is either the iPhone he uses or one of its variations.? If it is not discovered by the iPhone, I would attempt to connect to another device, to see if the keyboard is alive. The manual mentions a blue and red lights, and recharging the batteries.? I have a folding BT keyboard, from Think Outside the Box. Folded, it is a bit smaller that a pack of Player cigarettes, open it us about 3/4s the size if a full-sized keyboard, sans bezel.? I enjoyed it very much, only it apparently has an intermittent short in the ribbon cables. It, too, is no longer made. It was $70-100, when new. I bought it used when I had a Palm Treo cell phone. ?

Re: Xfinity outage
开云体育Ok. So you are implying that the Verizon network connects to the internet locally or wider, only thru Comcast, with no secondary or redundant connection possible.?As to turbin down, was a urgent enough. We supplied the tools for all of North America, for the worlds largest manufacturer, installer and maintenance service. So tens of thousands of turbines, some dating back to the 1970s. So expedited shipments were a regular issue. We were under contract to supply tools for 20 years and many needed annual inspection or calibration, usually at our tool facility. The site operators, were under contract to keep a certain percentage operating at all times.? One of the tools we supplied was high voltage switching, to either isolate a system so it was safe to work on, or engage a parallel or redundant system, so outages were minimal.?

Re: Xfinity outage
Brent your question is addressed in the second part of my answer.
Verizon splits the data off as soon as they can, either at the tower or at the first switch. This is very sensible as chewing up an entire synchronous voice channel for asynchronous data is inefficient. The data is stripped out and connects to the Internet through conventional although usually business grade ISPs. My speculation is that in your area Verizon connects to the Internet with Comcast Business so that when Xfinity went down, so did Verizon's connection to the Internet and thus no cellular data. With regard to your wind turbine story, in my experience descriptors like "turbine down" are usually bracketed by expletives. dave |

Re: Xfinity outage
开云体育We’re close, but we missed.?On my iPhone, running the latest iOS, WiFi Calling is turned off.? Sometime between 1 and 2 am, my coaxial internet connection went down. I looked and saw the status lights on the gateway repeatedly try to reconnect. Figuring it was normal system maintenance, going long, I attempted to use cellular data from the phone. It kept failing, also.? I understand accidents happen, equipments fails, and maintenance and upgrades need to be performed. I used to provide tools to install, maintain, upgrade and decommission wind turbines. Our highest emergency expediting was declared by simply saying “turbin down”. Back to this. I have both my internet connection and cell service thru Xfinity. Ok, my coaxial internet connection is down, but why is my cellular internet connection down, also. Are we under terrorist attack? Broadcast TV works, so no attack. ? I want to know by the cellular data was down, but voice works, as I called Xf and got an automated ETA for repairs, the ever so satisfying, “As soon as possible.”. At 2:30 am, I didn’t really expect a human.? Here’s the question: How is cellular data usually routed to the internet? Why didn’t cellular data work? The Verizon network had no issues.? I had assumed it would work like a “landline” connection: from my device to the nearest switch/cell tower to be routed to avoid heavy traffic and blockages. But, it seems like to was routed to Xfinity, that had a major problem with their router/ internet connection out of service.? The outage was 5 to 6 hours. I called in after the fix to ask what happened and why did my Xf Mobile cellular data failed. I could neither reach a Customer Service Supervisor or Engineer. I wasn’t even seeking a credit, just answers.? Brent On my iPhone Xr On Oct 21, 2023, at 05:26, Dave Skolnick KO4MI <dave@...> wrote:

Re: Xfinity outage
Hi Brent.
I'll do my best. Xfinity Mobile is an VMNP (or MVNO or whatever). They do ride on the Verizon Wireless network but they also default to Xfinity WiFi (WiFi calling) to maximize performance and reduce the network costs to Comcast Xfiinity. If the local WiFi from your Comcast router/access point comes up before the Internet connection your phone will grab the WiFi signal but have nothing to connect to. That's part of your issue. On the Verizon side, when you are connected to a cell tower, you will see the difference between SMS (classic text) and iMessage. SMS runs over the control channel for the tower. iMessage runs over a data connection which is over a voice channel. However some towers are set up to send data and thus iMessage over a separate connection to the Internet than the voice and control channels to the phone company switch. Sometimes that will all be consolidated over a microwave, coax, or fiber link. From your description I'm guessing voice/control and data are split at the tower and (big guess) Verizon is using Comcast Business for data from the towers. With microwave to a phone company switch voice and SMS (classic text - the green bubbles) will work but iMessage (the blue bubbles) and data will not. The good news is that for a very wide area outage, Verizon and Comcast are going to be very energized to fix things. There is always a chance of malware or even cyber attacks that have affected a bunch of devices but most likely its one device that failed and they're working on a repair or replacement. For those really big routers there are not spares sitting around. Hope this helps. dave |

Xfinity outage
?
I don’t know when this will reach the group, because Xfinity internet connection, WiFi and cellular data is out in my area. Funny cellular voice and some text are working. I was hoping our communication expert, Dave S, ham operator and yachtsman, will answer this. The Xfinity co-axial internet connection is down in my zip code. The gateway can’t finish booting since, there is no handshake with their server, so no local WiFi. I also have Xfinity Mobile, or a virtual mobile network provider on the Verizon cellular network, the owner and operators of the physical towers. Cellular data is down, but voice is working. Some texts get thru, but apparently not all or iMessages. My question why is the cellular data down, but some texts get thru. Why is the cellular data down at all, or is there more going thru Xfinity before it gets to Vz, than I am aware of. I would have assumed( as bad as that is to do) that texts needed some internet connection, or because it rides with the signal to locate the phones and towers, does it manage to get around that? Does this mean that the Xfinity server is down, and maybe the some of the Vz server, too? When I got Xfinity on the phone, of course I could not get a human at O2:30 hrs local. The automated voice sent me a text with two worthless urls, I can’t reach the internet, and said the estimated time of repair would be a helpful (sarcasm) “As soon as possible.”.

Re: Transfer photos from iPhone to MacBook
Thanks Vincent. I’ll try to download the photos to my computer from iCloud. Hope I am able to do so. Thanks again for the suggestion.
