Re: iPad Air DISABLED and not connecting to iMac
Thank you David. Yes, I tried the suggestions in the link...no luck. I am heading to Tucson next week, so will try to make an appt with the Genius Bar to have someone help me. Oh...I do currently use my older iPad, but because there seemed to be some significant differences between the old and new, I just stuck the new one away. Then I lost my son, faced some serious health issues, dealt with hubby's cancer, etc., so I just wasn't focused on the new iPad.

Hello Eileen. ?
Did you do this? ?
As things are obviously not urgent (two years without use!) you could, surely, post the device back to Apple for service.
Here’s how: ?
Good luck

I have been using my late wife’s MacBook with a different user sign in.
2020 MacBook Air
Ventura 13.6.1
Does Time Machine backup both users information or only the one that is currently logged on?
I don’t like this laptop. It works well but I prefer my much slower 2011 MacBook Pro. It displays mail and other programs better. I don’t have to scroll vertically or horizontally to use my regular programs.
I may trade it in on an iMac. I don’t need two laptops.
I don’t know why but I have been unable to get SuperDuper to work. It will load but will not copy.

Re: Migration Assistant Woes
Jim, Paul, and Vince,
Thank you for your helpful replies to my migrating questions. I’ve finally managed to move nearly all of the data and settings nearly virtually intact after re-installing Ventura in Recovery Mode. I was concerned about Mail, i.e., loss of folders, applied rules, etc. but the content and settings transferred over faithfully.?I did lose some of my album covers in iTunes as I have an extensive music library but that was easy to fix. I?succeeded?with the transfer after a couple of disappointing fails migrating through ethernet. I re-read Jim Saklad’s reply, where he wrote "I suspect the iMac is too recent to run Sierra and the migration the way you performed it may have tried to install Sierra on it,” and based upon that I migrated without including the apps believing that by doing so it would also bypass the Sierra OS. As many apps would not perform on the much newer OS regardless, updated installations would be necessary at any rate. The reason why I waited so long to do this was because I dreaded losing my Adobe programs, primarily Photoshop, my version being 32 bit. After having paid for the program time and again since 1993 I am loathe to shell out monthly or annual payments for subscription service. I finally took the advice of Randy Singer who some time ago suggested I check into Affinity Software which apparently offers much of the same processing power and bells and whistles as Photoshop.
Thank you again!

The *usual* way of using Migration Assistant is to start with a bootable computer and use the assistant ON THAT COMPUTER to transfer (data) files TO it FROM another.
I think you may have to re-install an operating system on the iMac, which likely means using Recovery Mode.
Then boot from that, and run Migration Assistant to extract files from your Sierra laptop.
How old is the iMac? Is it Intel-based or Apple Silicon (M1, M2…) (This determines how to get into Recovery Mode.)
Last night I tethered my Laptop running Sierra to an iMac running Ventura via ethernet and activating Migrant Assistant between the two commencing the night long transference of documents and all related files from the laptop to iMac.
This morning I received a prompt on the Sierra laptop end that the migration had completed but on the receiving end of the iMac running Ventura the screen was black except for a message that the computer was shut down improperly and to strike any key to reboot.
After the same message appeared again and again I forced the shut down, waited a few minutes and attempted to reboot again, receiving the same message.
The internal drive receiving the migration appears to be unbootable.
I was able to start the computer booting from an external drive I have which contains two partitions, one running Ventura and the other running Mojave, both boot successfully.
Using either as a startup I was able to view the contents of the internal drive.
Upon doing so I see no evidence of any documents having been transferred in from the migration.
The internal drive appears to be in the same state as it was before except now I cannot use it as a startup volume although it still appears in the startup list of bootable drives.
Now I’m concerned that I used Migration Assistant improperly and have corrupted the internal drive in the process. Did I need to perform the migration using Target Disc Mode to transfer documents, apps, and settings properly? I have no experience with booting from Target Disc Mode.
Also, I’ve read that the fastest way to migrate would be to go through Thunderbolt. But I cannot find Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cables available from Apple and I think buying one from a third party might not be a good idea.
Apple sells a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter, but at $49 for a single use, I would probably stick to ethernet.

Re: Beating a dead horse, by degrees
Bottom line: if you ever need to insert a “masculine ordinal indicator” while using an iPad or iPhone, you’d better have a physical keyboard or some way of copying the symbol from a comprehensive glyph map of your font.
I had to look up “masculine ordinal indicator,” in Wikipedia, useful because the VERY comprehensive discussion reminded me of what “cardinal” numbers were as well, and also reminded me of what the “feminine” ordinal indicator was, as well as why they both sometimes were underlined—and different from the degree symbol, the masculine of the species really is just a tiny superscript letter “o” (the one between n and p).
Rarely used in English (Brit or US). The Wikipedia examples, ???and???in Italian, make it clear I think, but it's still odd that Apple chose ? 0 for this instead of the degree symbol on the Mac (and iPhone/iPad physical kbs). ? 0 is not only more intuitive, as is hold 0, it is one key less for a much more common character in English. (? 9 on the Mac gives you the feminine ordinal.)
This might be too nerdish for some, but if you switch your iPhone/iPad onscreen kb to Italian or Spanish, both of the ordinal versions for the single digit numbers come up for each when you hold down that key. Do that for “1” and you will see the examples above.

MagSafe vs. USBc/TB4 charging of MacBook Pr
Now that MagSafe charging ports are back on Apple laptops, I’m wondering whether there’s any difference between using that port vs. one of the TB/USBc ports to charge the computer. Obviously using the MagSafe cable frees up an additional port for data transfer, but does it make any difference to the machine’s health, speed of recharging, or longevity to use the MagSafe port preferentially.
And, compared with its ancestor, I think there might be one additional difference. It’ my impression that the magnet is a bit stronger than was the case with original MagSafe ports, making me wonder if it’s a bit LESS well suited to its primary mission; i.e., reducing risk of a laptop plunge from desk to floor less effectively than did its grandparent.

Re: Beating a dead horse, by degrees
Yes, the presence of a kb with Option/Alt key seems to make all the difference.
Our iPad Air 3 behaves just like an iPhone using the onscreen kb, i.e., hold-0 gives me a degree symbol.?
With Apple Smart Keyboard attached, the iPad then behaves like a Mac: ??8 gives me a degree ° ?0 gives me ? (masculine ordinal indicator).
We seem to be repeating ourselves, but summing up, we have:
Mac ? ? 0 = ? ? ? ? 8 = °
iPad Onscreen ??Hold 0 = ° KB ??? 0 = ? ??? ? 8 = °
iPhone Onscreen ??Hold 0 = °
(I’ve used Notes synced between the 3 to get the above
So, Apple’s logic seems to be that iPhones and iPads should behave the same using the onscreen kb, but iPads behave like a Mac with a physical kb attached.

Just one more post about the correct way(s) to enter the “degree” (temperature, not academic certificate) symbol on various Apple devices. My iPad(s) are probably my least used but most abused Apple devices (witness the recent terrifying expedition one suffered through on the R front fender of my car at 80 mph).
We’ve settled on agreement that the correct way to enter the character on a Mac is by typing the key combo <option-shift-8> , and that on an iPhone, it’s press on the “zero” key and hold it, then slide to the left to select “degree” instead of “zero.”
But, I’ve discovered that the keyboard battlefield is muddied by attaching a “Magic” keyboard to my new iPad Pro 4th generation 11 incher.
One might expect behavior similar to that observed with an iPhone, given the similarities between the two operating systems, but pressing and holding the “zero” key just produces a single “zero” (and perhaps, eventually, a tired finger).
The “Magic” keyboard has an option key, and the keystroke combo that works on the Mac seems to do so on the iPad as well. However, the glyph produced by “option-zero” differs subtly from that produced by “option-shift-8” (both entered from the magic keypad. This is made obvious by using an app that permits changing the font size of individual characters and enlarging them both, say to 24-point size. And, if i remove the iPad from its attached keyboard, the resulting iPadOS virtual keyboard does not include an option key, and the only way I can find to enter what LOOKS like the degree symbol is to press and hold the virtual “zero” key. Put iPad back into its “Magic” physical keyboard case and the “zero” press-and-hold is gone (magically?)
In the Mac app store, I’ve found two apps from “XO4 Studios” named “Ultra Character Map” and “Font File Browser,” which cost the same and look the same. Each of them permits the user to enter from the keyboard or select from a document (I think) a glyph to identify what it’s supposed to be (its “name”; e.g., “upper case a” or “semicolon” will appear, but not the ASCII or quoted printable encoding. So, it ?might enable differentiating between those two subtly different glyphs, but I don’t yet know. I’ve written to the developer to see if it has any suggestions.

That isn’t how I would phrase it. The Magic Keyboard with the iPad emulates using a physical keyboard with the Mac (and can, in fact, be used exactly that way). One might expect behavior similar to that observed with an iPhone, given the similarities between the two operating systems, but pressing and holding the “zero” key just produces a single “zero” (and perhaps, eventually, a tired finger).
And in fact the screen keyboard on the iPad works exactly like the screen keyboard on the iPhone – whether it is the built-in screen keyboard, or the alternate “Padkeys” one.
However, the glyph produced by “option-zero” differs subtly from that produced by “option-shift-8” (both entered from the magic keypad.
Yes. They are, of course, different characters. <Opt><0> is ? which is “Masculine Ordinal Indicator”, or Unicode U+00BA, or UTF-8 C2 BA. <Shift><Opt><8> is ° which is “Degree Sign”, or Unicode U+00B0, or UTF-8 C2 B0.
How similar they appear varies by font (although anyone viewing this in Plain Text will see them all looking the same…). In the Mac app store, I’ve found two apps from “XO4 Studios” named “Ultra Character Map” and “Font File Browser,” which cost the same and look the same. Each of them permits the user to enter from the keyboard or select from a document (I think) a glyph to identify what it’s supposed to be (its “name”; e.g., “upper case a” or “semicolon” will appear, but not the ASCII or quoted printable encoding. So, it ?might enable differentiating between those two subtly different glyphs, but I don’t yet know. I’ve written to the developer to see if it has any suggestions.?
This is the Mac’s version: Although it isn’t apparent here, if you select a character in a document, then open this Character Viewer, it displays just that selected character in the central area, with its info on the right.
And as you can see, circling back to the degree sign, you can choose a single character for ℃ or for ℉ …

To add to my confusion I just checked the volumes on the computer, the Startup Volume “Western Digital [Ventura],” Western Digital ?[Mojave] … both partitioned on the same drive, AND the internal Macintosh HD which I used as the destination
for the migration. See screenshot. It shows that the volume is filled to near capacity which suggests to me that the data DID transmit yet when I view the contents of the volume it shows the content from BEFORE the migration. It’s baffling.
I also just remembered that Migration Assistant issued me a temporary password containing jumbled letters and symbols before the migration to write down and save because in order for me to access the migrated content I would need to create
a temporary Admin to access it for the first time. But as indicated in my initial query I am unable to boot from the internal drive to type in any password whatsoever. Very confusing to me.

I think the Apple News notifications are potentially quite good. Timely and informative for the most part. But what I find incredibly annoying is how the summary notification that appears on my Mac display. Apple apparently forces (or baits) us to click on "read more" which opens up the full article to actually see the significant piece of news that they intentionally leave OFF of the summary.
For instance:
"Former NFL star dies at 50 years old" etc.?
"Congressman charged with crime" etc
Why don't they simply include the name of the individual??? Obviously so you get baited to click to open the story and then perhaps get sucked into subscribing the AppleNews+??
Is it just me to find this annoying? Is it possible to change a setting to more easily get another level of detail without having to open up the news feed and have to read the entire article??
