I don't know what happened but when I connect the phone to the Mac via USB it sees the phone but says somethings wrong, that I need to reset and start over. Fortunately I have a recent back up so I'm about to the point of doing a reset. Hopefully everything will come back in without too much effort when I do a restoreby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Thanks Markintosh. It looks like just what I need. I was hoping for something less than $50 though, maybe $10. I think I still have the MP3 file somewhere so I'll just create the ringtone for my friend with tools I have.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
I have some custom ringtones on my iPhone that I would like to share with someone but do not have them on my Mac. Would appreciate a recommendation of apps that will allow me to do that. There are more than a dozen ringtone apps in the App Store but I haven't found one that mentions sending the ringtones from the iPhone to the computer.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
I have an iPhone 11 Pro running under iOS 13.7 and a brand new MacBook Air running Catalina 10.15.6. I was trying to figure out how to transfer a very large collection of music albums ripped from CDs from my iPhone to my Mac. I don't know what I did but I managed to lose all but two albums of my music. Because of Covid I am not able to access the computer that has the music files in it. Theby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
space-time - I have had a corded mouse plugged I for 24 hours and it has not crashed. I have not been using it as heavily as usual however. Sarcany - there were a lot of panic logs and no, I did not look closely at them as I do not know what to look for. There is a check box on Energy Saver for "Automatic graphics switching" and it was checked. Ii will uncheck it and see what hapby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't have a second cordless mouse but just now turned off the cordless mouse and plugged in a corded one. I had a look at the last log and though I have been using Macs since they same out in 1984 am not the level user to understand what it is telling me. I am replacing the Pro with a MacBook Air and intend to give the Pro to my grand daughter, so will probabby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
I am running a mid-2010 MacBook Pro under High Sierra Version 10.13.6 (the latest it will run under) with 8 GB RAM and plenty of disk space. The only known hardware problem is that the track pad "click" does not work although it does still support cursor movement. The problem is frequent crashes when I move the Apple rechargeable blue tooth mouse. The screen goes black and then a lby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals

I am in the early stage of Parkinson's so voice input is becoming increasingly important. Although it works OK in other applications, when I try to use voice input in any version of Excel, including the latest version in Office 365, all that appears in a cell is a lower case "a". If I delete the "a" and dictate the cell contents again it shows what I dictate correctly.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
I need to send several pdf documents via email but the total size is too large. I could send several emails but prefer not to do that. Preview will supposedly reduce the size Tools -> Adjust Size... but it is grayed out. The file is unlocked so that should not be the problem. Any suggestions as to how to get Preview to work or any other app (preferably free) that I could use?by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm still on Mojave. I am just trying to salvage files for which the applications are 32 bit and won't work on Catalina. I have lots of FileMaker files from FM 11 which will not run under Catalina. Even though I have been using FileMaker since before Apple acquired it I cannot justify $500 to upgrade to the current version. Even though they sometimes offeby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
freeradical - read my original post again. It is not possible to export CSV or tab-delimited data if the original file cannot be opened. The question was what application besides Office 365 and Office 2011 Excel might be used to OPEN old files from the 1990s that are plainly identified as Excel files. MrNoBody - thanks for the suggestion. I downloaded LibreOffice and was able to open xls anby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
While cleaning up my iMac in preparation for installing Catalina I have run across a lot of Excel files created in the late 1990s that both Excel 2011 and the current Office 365 Excel refuse to open. The have a square black icon with the green "exec" in the upper left corner. They are identified as being Excel files. Any suggestions of how to open these as a spreadsheet would be apprby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Daughter uses the Zbrush application to design silver jewelry, downloads it to a 3-D printer to make the master, and then casts it in silver using the lost-wax technique, AKA investment casting. . I don’t know which printer but it cost her around $3500. Send me a PM if you would like to get in touch with her to find out specifics of what she’s doing.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
The title says it all. I think the steps start as follows but I can’t find where to go after tapping on the Apple ID. - Tap on Settings - Tap on iTunes & App Store - Tap on Apple ID What’s next?by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Anticipating it I would go first I started years ago maintaining multipage very detailed set of instructions on what to do with every aspect of our lives. I have had numerous surgeries over the last 10 years and updated the document before each surgery. I wish she had done the same least with her logins. Almost forgot to mention that I got into the Air using the link decay provided. Thanks.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Thanks for all the help and condolences. Space -time: Thanks for the advice, but I have no concern about finding things I shouldn’t see. She was 75 years old and we had been married for 54 years so I am not afraid of what I will find. She does have files on her computer as well as lots of pictures I would like to keep. So I do need to get into her account.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals

Updated last night and iPhone 6 missed call from doctor regarding minor surgery tomorrow. Fortunately they called the senior facility where we live who told me to call the doctor. I tried dialing using the doctors Contact entry and with the keypad but neither would dial. After a few minutes of panic I powered the phone off and then on and the phone worked. So don't panic if it happens to you.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals

Thanks decay. Looks like that will do I need however the name is MP3 trimmer not MP3 extractor. Now for red face time. I already had an older copy of it in my applications folderby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Sorry I was not very clear as to what I wanted to do. I have a large MP3 file that is made up of a dozen individual songs. I want an application to extract individual songs so that I can load them into iTunes. Ideally it would work like the Ringer application referenced above that lets you extract ringtones from mp3s. Hopefully that is a clearer explanation of what I need.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Need an MP3 file extractor with graphical user interface that works essentially like the Ringer ring tone application. If you are not familiar with Ringer have a look at the app store information for it using the following link.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals

I have physical problems that make typing difficult so I was delighted to see that voice input is supported in Sierra. It works just fine after a restart but if I leave my Mac and come back for another work session it doesn't work. I have tried it both with the internal microphone and an external USB microphone with the same result . Yes I am running the latest version of Sierra. I read soby mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Somehow managed to wipe out my music and custom ringtones on my iPhone and cannot find a good set of ringtone install instructions that pertain to the software versions I am running (which I think are the latest).

Sorry, I neglected to say it was the Medicare Part D premium that had doubled for each of us.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
I just looked at my Social Security benefits statement for the coming year. I was shocked to see the monthly Medicare premium is going to increase by about $100, the reason given that I made too much money last year as a result of having withdrawn the required minimum distribution from my IRA. They are graciously giving me a cost-of-living increase of $64 per year.by mjgkramer - Tips and Deals
Wife and I recently moved into a senior apartment facility which provides free password-protected Wi-Fi. Although both iMacs can access Internet they cannot see each other or my laser printer or inkjet. To do filesharing I have to use Drop box or iCloud or disconnect both iMacs from Internet and create a computer to computer network which isn't convenient and does not permit printer sharing.
