Re: Don't go to iOS 14.1 if still using Mojave and iTunes - 2 months ago

Quoterjmacs QuoteSchpark What version of iTunes? I get this: What happens when you install the software? It wants me to install Catalina, everything else up to date. I want to stay on Mojave. Actually it didn't want to do Catalina. Had to run the install twice and now it is working. It did not change my revision of iTunes as it is still 12.9.5.5. Would have been nice if it explici

Re: Diagnose this sound from my car - 2 months ago

Another vote for sway bar end link. It's always the first thing I check for clunks like this and easy to replace myself. Beyond that they should check ball joints, control arms, subframe bushings, motor/trans mounts. Sometimes they can be hard to find.

Don't go to iOS 14.1 if still using Mojave and iTunes - 2 months ago

Shame on me for not doing my due diligence but now I can no longer see my iPhone SE in iTunes. This means I can no longer sync my substantial music library onto my phone. Most of it is ripped from CD's. iTunes does not see my iPhone at all so I cannot revert back to my last save. Ugh.

Re: I may have decided on my next car. Figured you’d want to know. You’re welcome. - 3 months ago

Back when I was 15 (no permit) my mom left the keys out for her manual Chevy Vega. Me and a buddy drove it around the block. Took me a while to make it around but I did it.... The kicker was that it was the first time I ever drove a stick and I was in 3rd gear all the way.

Re: recommendation for screen protectors, please? - 3 months ago

I am a fan of the Power Theory glass protectors that come in a 2 pack for $12.95. The surface feels very smooth and slippery with it on. I have had all three of my kids have damage only to the protector and not the screen so am happy with the protection. We also have my oldest daughter do all the replacements as she has the procedure down and gets good results.

Re: People butt purchasing Tesla add ons for thousands of $$$, encounter poor customer service trying to get refund, Musk cracks joke in response - 3 months ago

Initial Quality is not reliability. Consumer reports is a popularity contest of it's subscribers and has been proven biased in the past. I don't look at any of them. The "insert category here" of the year awards are based on which manufacturer paid the advertising for that particular award. I'll make my own decisions.

I'm not making the move. I'm on Mojave (resisting Catalina). My credit union said the same thing. I'm not upgrading to 14.
