iTunes backing up for 6 hours - 2 days ago

I connected my iPhone 6s plus to my Macbook Pro 6 hours ago and it still says it is backing up (step 2 of 4) my data. Anybody else been through this? The iphone is on 15.7.2 and the Macbook Pro is on Mojave 10.14.3

QuoteForrest Has anyone been quoted what it will cost to upgrade your home’s electrical service to accommodate the AC Level 2 (240V/30-70A)? I’d bet it’s many thousands on a 50+ year old house. I have a 60 year old house and it cost me $1600.

I stopped using an airport express for internet about a year ago. It would only download at 12mbs. I replaced it with an Asus gaming router. It downloads at over 170mbs. I didn't know I had that much bandwith using the apple router. I just use the apple router to play music through my stereo now.

Re: Home electric cost to charge EV? - 1 year ago

My Tesla Model 3 SR raised my monthly electric bill $60. From $82 to $142. I bought this for my retirement car so I don't have a daily work schedule and I do a lot of unnecessary driving. I was driving from Virginia to Florida twice a month for the last 12 months and putting about 3500 miles a month on the car and found not much difference in gas and electricity. It did add at least 2 hours to my

Re: How did you buy your iphone? - 1 year ago

I started with an Android Tracfone phone from HSN, where they triple the minutes and text when you buy more. The phone died a little over year after I bought it. I then bought an iPhone 6S plus from Gazelle and transfered it to the Tracfone plan and they let me keep the triple minutes and text plan.

QuoteMikeF Of course, they'll follow in Apple's footsteps and switch everything to a proprietary connector no one has ever seen. Tesla's connector is a proprietary connector. All other makers use CCS, j1772, or chademo.

Re: EV chargers: are all non-TESLA compatible with each other? - 1 year ago

Yes you can charge at any charger as long as you have the right plug or adapter. Chademo is on the way out. None of the newer EVs use that anymore. Tesla has offered there network to other car manufacturers but to date no manufacturer has accepted the offer. In Europe all Tesla Superchargers have CCS plug because it is mandated by the European Union and all Teslas shipped to Europe now have CCS p

Re: question(s) for electric car owners - 2 years ago

My Tesla can lose up to 10 miles of charge a night depending on the weather and how many people come within the security camera zone of the car. If I drive my car on the interstate only I can lose up to 50 miles for every 100 miles I drive. When I drive in the city I don't lose any miles. My Tesla would charge at 6 mph on 110V. It charges at 34 mph on the Tesla wall connector. If your drivi

Re: Oh, why not: Tesla Model S erupted ‘like a flamethrower.’ - 2 years ago

The Teslas have retractable door handles so if you don’t get out quickly and the door handles retract, good luck. Most cars for the past few years have automatic locking doors and most safety minded people lock their doors when they get in their car so it doesn't matter what the handle does.

Re: Iphone 11 at 86% Battery - 2 years ago

My 6s plus still reads 100%. I never leave it on the charger after it completes charging or run it down lower than 20%. It has read 40% but was actually dead. Takes about 20 minutes of charging just to get it to boot up when that happens.
