Hi: I have a lot of photos and would like to delete some off my phone without losing them on my Mac. Everything is in the Cloud. When I have tried to delete something, it is deleted off everything. Thanks. Carol

I’ve had a checkered life with electric garage doors and their openers. For example: A decade or so, I drove into my garage with my VERY expensive racing road bicycle lashed to the top of my car via a Thule rack with beefy box-frame steel support rail. Although I was driving VERY slowly, the force actually BENT the that steel rail. It appeared initially that the bike was undamaged, but the next day when I went for my next ride, I drove to my starting point, removed the bike from the now slightly curvaceous bike rack, mounted the front wheel to the fork, hopped on, took my first pedal stroke… and slumped to the pavement because the bike actually HAD suffered a fatal injury: the carbon fiber steerer tube had cracked at the bottom of the headset! All’s well that ends well, however, because my insurance company said “no problem: your bike had an accident with your house, and we cover that!" A bit LESS than a decade ago, in Sonoma County, CA’s devastating Tubbs Wildfire that destroyed about 5,000 homes, my entire HOA community disappeared. One of the fire’s few fatalities, fortunately, was a retired widow who (it’s assumed) didn’t know how to get out of her garage once the power went out as the fire approached. Her charred skeleton was found in the charred remains of the driver’s seat of her charred car. About a month ago, I pressed “close” on the wall-mounted hard-wired control panel for my opener, and instead of the door moving, I heard a snapping sound as a metal gear sheared off from the motor and the chain slumped off its tracks. Fortunately, I found a garage door retail and repair shop that could do a same-day replacement. Without really knowing EXACTLY what I was buying, I commissioned a new replacement, and once it was installed I discovered that it was enhanced by Wi-Fi and an iOS/Android app that could monitor and control the door from anywhere on the planet where an internet connection was available AND report the door's current open/closed status. The iOS app includes some very nice touches, such as enabling delivery service drivers to open and close the door under very specific circumstances to make delivery of your latest 32 GB/12 TB storage MacBook Pro more secure, and optional security video camera monitoring of the door's current status and even imaging whomever or whatever vehicle is . However, just yesterday I tried to complete the iOS connection for the door (from LiftMaster) by adding my wife’s iPhone to the hinces permitted to control the door. The app requires designation of a primary user but is supposed to allow seamless addition of other family members. One data field required for setup is a user’s email address. And, THAT includes designating whether the email address uses “hide my email” or “private relay” (which I think are the same thing, although I’m not sure). For my spouse’s connection, I checked “yes” to that question in the iOS app’s settings, but then what displayed on her phone’s iOS app was a gibberish address that the app itself could not use. My guess is that the “set” of people who might be able to address this issue is limited to those who already use the “myQ” iOS or Android app, but if there are any of you out there who’ve done this, I’d be grateful for pointers. We’ve solved the functional limitation by putting the one radiofrequency transmitter included with the opener in my wife’s car, but I’m still hoping we can get her and her iPhone added to the iOS setup. -- Jim Robertson

Jim - I know it’s past Christmas but here are a couple things re backward/mirrored text/font on Mac. This is what I found online a few minutes ago but I also found a place ON one of my Mac's apps - but now I’ve lost track of that, too. There’s some program (“Mail?”) which will do it but … ????). So I also accidentally found a website because I was trying to find it again on my MacBook Air - Sonoma 14.6.1. They’ve got a “flip” and a “mirrored” here - just go down the left-hand menu. https://www.fontspace.com/font-generator ?zz?p ?,I ?u?op-?p?spu pu? sp??????? ?oi???|??? ?uo? ?? ?oo| uo? ?i ?i?? d??? ??? uoY I don’t know what else you can do with it .?uos p??z?? ?u???? s?? ?o? ???s ??W?

The USB-C power connector on the MacBook Pro really sucks. It doesn’t stay snug to provide power consistently. Has anyone found a way to keep it firmly attached?

Dear All Thanks all I downloaded Maccleaner Pro. Did the job and I reclaimed 250 GB. I am still not sure of what other files are Happy for now!!

The most volatile topic in my household the past few years has been my “addiction” to riding a racing road bicycle. Montana’s official and unofficial postures with respect to bicycles on public roadways is somewhat less than welcoming, and I had one life threatening crash in spring 2022 as a direct consequence of that. However, the two less serious crashes I’ve been in since then, although each productive of temporary disabling injuries, have bothered my psyche very little, EXCEPT for my wife’s continuing threats to sell my bike. That’s led to a humorous Christmas present from my wife’s son and my former riding partner when we lived in the same CA city (we’re now 100 miles apart in Montana). One casual road cyclist’s mantra is “keep the rubber side down.” The Christmas present is a T-shirt , with the following text on the chest, presented upside down: OK? My Bike IS Hey, Is there any easy way to send an email, SMS, or iMessage in iOS or macOS with the text upside down? (I want to respond in kind). Thanks so much, -- Jim Robertson

SOMEWHERE in our home, there’s a 13” inch MacBook Pro from 2017. We’ve not been able to find it for about 3 months, and FindMy can’t help because its battery is exhausted. And, of course, it cannot run much of current Apple Ecosystem software and won’t support Apple Intelligence. So, my love has a new MacBook Air, and I’m doing initial setup before she wakes up Christmas morn. I have a “family” version of 1Password, license purchased directly from the software publisher. Is there any reason not to download HER copy from Apple’s app store? Is licensing any different between the version on Apple’s store and that on the publisher’s website? Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas to all!!!! -- Jim Robertson

This is a reminder to be alert to phishing attacks… I just received a message, purportedly from iCloud, telling me that my account needs to take immediate action (as if my account could take any action) and asking me to verify my Apple ID. This was supposedly because I violated Apple’s policy and terms of service, but at the same time said it was other individuals “attemp” (my quotes; their spelling) to impersonate my Apple ID. Later it says go to “A-pple” ID (again, my quotes; their spelling). Looking closer at the sender, I can see an underlying email address that is a resort — not Apple. The URLs under the various links point to various sites. For example, the “Support” link would take you to Netflix’s privacy policy. So there are several indicators that this is from a scammer. See Apple Support’s article, “Recognize and avoid social engineering schemes including phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams”. for information on how to report such messages to Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102568 -- Bev in TX

Has anyone found a work-around for 1PW demanding manual entry of your password every 14 days on an iPad, please? (in between I use touch ID). On the Mac there's an option to extend the period between manual entry to 30 days and even to "never", but this seems to be missing on the iPad (and iPhone?). For me it's a major frustration: one of the reasons I use a PW manager is to make my life easier, ie I don't have to enter passwords all the time, and when 1PW demands one it's "always" when I'm in a hurry to do something ? BTW I understand the reason 1PW thinks this is necessary / advisable, it's to help reduce the chance that you forget your PW. I'm not entirely sure I understand the logic behind this, it seems to suggest that the biometric id (on which we all depend, don't we, eg for making payments with the Apple wallet) is likely to fail and / or is not to be trusted. I'm considering moving all my PWs into the new Apple PW manager. This is not ideal, not a 100% replacement for 1PW, but if I use it only for log-in items and keep all the "other stuff" in 1PW, the level of annoyance will diminish significantly. Keith

As proposed by an upgrading message I received, I downloaded Mac OS Monterey and tried to install it 4 or 5 times. Each time, everything seems ok till the end, then I get a message saying: "macOS Update Assistant Unable to install required firmware update. Update requires compatible internal storage." But I have a 2 To disk. Can you help me?

Hello A couple books on Amazon both got bad reviews. I've had my macbookpro for many years (14.6.1) as well as my iphone ( 8 - 16.7.10) so I am not a new user. However, I still have confusion and many questions. My icloud supposedly is full but I don't back up photos or music on icloud. A playlist entitled playlist is replicating itself over and over. I don't know why. I spent hours yesterday deleting duplicate playlists but did not finish. Today synced my phone with the mac and there is a new copy of the playlist on my mac, but not on the phone. The copies of playlist deleted from the phone stay deleted on the phone but they did not delete from the mac. Are there separate libraries for the ohone and mac? I previously contacted apple support after upgrading to sonona but they had no clue as to why I was getting duplicates if the playlist. Other playlists have been duplicated but not most and not so many times. 1, How to solve duplicating playlist/s 2. reference for sonoma 3, tackle kater - full icloud Thanks for any help. Doris

What browser are you using? When I rest over a link in Apple Mail in Sequoia 15.2, all I get is a popup window that tells me where the link points. cjc

Wow, no wonder people were complaining about iOS 18. There are tons of changes, stirring up resistance to change. Time to review all the moved Settings, new options, and find any changed defaults. I have run into an odd issue. I basically 4 email accounts. All we setup in Mail about 5 years ago then I bought this iPhone XR, but suddenly the phone is telling me the password on one of them is incorrect, after all this time. If that were the case, it would not have confirmed and set up the mailbox. Brent On my iPhone Xr

Two reasons for this post: I get too much email I worry more and more about exposing my identity online So, I’m wondering whether there’s risk involved in clicking “unsubscribe” when unneeded emails keep arriving from commercial or political entities where I’m quite certain that the incoming messages really ARE from whom they SAY they are, but are no longer relevant to my needs. Does clicking “unsubscribe” basically just create a confirmation that I’m a live target and therefore actually INCREASE my risk of phishing or scams? Should my strategy be just to route such messages to my junk folder instead? -- Jim Robertson
