Re: Trying to figure out accounts for Music / TV and multiple computers... - 17 days ago

Sarcany!!! Thanks!!! Thanks!!! Thanks!!! Under "Restrictions", iTunes was disabled. Once I re-enabled iTunes then Accounts showed up in both TV & MUSIC. Not sure how I disabled iTunes like that on all three computers! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated... That was driving me nuts. Now to see if I can get all these computers setup like I h

Re: Trying to figure out accounts for Music / TV and multiple computers... - 17 days ago

Sarcany, That is what I picked up from googling as well, that the Accounts would be listed by Window. Looking at MUSIC/TV apps on my Big Sur machine right now is the following: (same for the Catalina MacMini): Music, File, Edit, Song, View, Controls, Window, Help TV, File, Edit, Video, View, Controls, Window, Help I must have screwed up a setting somewhere, but cannot figure

QUAKE: Just had a good quick shake here at the house, just east of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA - 17 days ago

About 5:07pm local, had a good shake that lasted about 5-ish seconds. Anyone else local to here feel it? EDIT (5:14pm): QuakeFeed shows it as 2.6 less than mile from my house. Pretty close to where CA-57 and CA-91 cross. So, other people in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas may not have even felt it. Hope it doesn't lead to anything else...

Re: Should this "Thunderbolt" cable setup work? Maybe I need some 101 on this topic... - 3 months ago

QuoteSarcany Your Tripp Lite cable was designed to work as a display-only cable for USB-C ports. It passes a display signal from a USB-C Mac or PC to a display that has a Mini Displayport input. It does not pass a Thunderbolt signal. It would not work to pass any other sort of signal than video. It only works in one direction. That is, it won't even work to connect a Mini Displayport Mac to a

I am not up to speed yet on the nuances of specs regarding Thunderbolt cables (and perhaps the latest USB specs). My experience with Thunderbolt is still limited, feel free to help me out on any details that I might be missing out on. Focus of this thread is on the cable/adapter setups shown in BLUE below. The MacBook Air is currently on Big Sur 11.2.1, the setup below has even worked on previ

Re: Almost forgot about all these damned masks I have around here - 3 months ago

I found the masks now around the house handy for doing yard work when taking the electric pruning shears across the bushes, and also when getting rid of old mulch and replacing with new. Like said above, masks keep my face warmer when out walking when it's cooler weather. On my bike rides, when riding thru the an occasional cloud of gnats, makes it handy not getting any flying into mouth or nos

iCloud Share account question... "too many devices"? - 3 months ago

Sarcany... This "unable to delete" situation hit me again while manipulating another Catalina Install file while on my MacBookAir7,2 on Big Sur (this time 11.2).
