Re: Really, REALLY dumb Apple Music question, re: free trial - 8 years ago

QuoteBernDog QuoteKramerica I still see the Home Sharing options in the newest version. Gone in iOS AFAIK. I'm assuming it's still in iTunes. I haven't done that update yet. If you're seeing it in the music app, please tell me how to get there. I'd love to be wrong. Yeah, I was referring to seeing it in the newest iTunes. Gone in iOS is true:

QuoteSpeedy Yes, for me, Ooma will receive faxes to my standalone but I cannot successfully send a fax. I haven't tried a standalone, but I am able to send faxes using Ooma from my computer with a little USB Fax Modem dongle.

Re: Chris Breen leaves Macworld. - 8 years ago

Going to Apple? How cool. I wonder what he'll be doing there. I liked hearing him on podcasts and such. Too bad he won't be able to talk tech publicly much anymore.

Also, I read you can Cmd + double-click the item to show it in the finder, rather than just Cmd + single click, like it used to be.

I would go Air or Air 2 at 32GB or higher. I even ran out of space on my 1st Gen with 64GB, but everyone uses them differently.

Re: Another fine Goodwill score. - 8 years ago

Nice! Those still command about 150-200 on ebay. I got mine at a Goodwill as well, though not nearly that cheap, back when the HiFis were still on the market, and Goodwill would resell the returned products from Target. I admire some of the design touches on the thing. Even the design of the battery compartment is nicely done showing that Apple attention to detail. There were several prod

Re: Any Vectrex fans here? - 8 years ago

I always lusted over those in the toy store while I was shopping for my Atari stuff, but never acquired one. It's still one of those things I would like to pick up just because they were so compact and unique.

Re: Has anyone else stopped buying media from iTunes because AppleID makes it too much work? - 9 years ago

They're both easy enough for me, but I've actually had more problems with Amazon's 1-click recently, after changing the credit card on file. Never could get my last attempt to go through for some reason, and just gave up.

Re: iTunes 12: Just when you thought that iTunes couldn't get any worse... - 9 years ago

I saw a screenshot elsewhere that still had the left-pane layout, similar to what it has always had. So it's pretty likely the little icons will not be your only view/layout option.

Re: iOS 7 volume tile - 9 years ago

It is fully opaque grey if you have Accessibility>Increase Contrast>Reduce Transparency in the Settings turned on. If that is turned off, it is semi-transparent but with the blur effect, it is not much of an improvement as far as seeing what's under there. The Videos app uses its own less intrusive indicator instead. To change it completely, I think you'd have to look at a Jailbreak solu

Re: sending mail via Siri - 9 years ago

I re-read your message and think you may be referring to sending via the Gmail app while I was talking about using the service, in general, via Mail, and thus Siri. To clarify, once you've set up your Gmail account in Mail, sending with Siri should work, and you can still use Mailbox or the Gmail app to do your sorting and such if you wish. Or use them all. You don't have to use Mail if you like

Re: sending mail via Siri - 9 years ago

I'm not sure if I am understanding correctly, but you can send via Gmail by default. My Gmail address is the only one I currently have set up in my phone, in Mail and I also use Mailbox. If I send a message via Siri, Mail, or Mailbox, it is sent via Gmail.

I've got some of the apps already from previous bundles, but I'll happily buy for Toon Boom Studio alone. I haven't seen an opportunity to pick that up inexpensively before. AccountEdge Pro will be a bonus if I ever need it.

Re: Is there a way on an iPhone to do... - 9 years ago

If you leave your phone unlocked without a passcode, you could use a 1-tap speed dial app on your home screen. With Launch Center Pro you make buttons to speed dial, but those would require 2 taps. With a locked phone, there is an Emergency button if you need it, and you can still dial with Siri (as long as that feature is enabled). I think that's about it, excluding possible jailbreak modificat
