Make sure nothing is touching the screen, as it can register any skin as a a touch attempt. We lost access to a locked phone that was in a pocket facing a thigh, had to restore it to recover. Now all phones are put into pockets with the screen facing away from the body. As for a Stetting you...

Reading Apple's website, there is a 128GB version with an ethernet port (to use in place of WiFi).

It is not possible to upgrade the iPad Mini 2 beyond 12.5.7 as this device lost all support in March 2017. You cannot install that app on this device. If you really want that app, you will need to buy a newer device that can support iOS 15. The iPad Mini 6 starts with iOS 15 and continues to...

You will never get into this iPhone again, once the iPhone goes into disabled mode, it must be restored from a backup. All data that was added since the backup will be lost. I have experienced this with a the thigh inside a pocket being detected as fingers. Lost 4 months of photos. Screen...

Hard to say exactly, as Facebook notifications are the last thing I want, so they are disabled at the phone and in the app. Did you try and resolve your issues with these tips? https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-facebook-notifications-not-working-android/

I moved your thread to make it easier to help you out. iTunes tries to not let you get the songs off of your iPod. Since Windows recognizes it, you can get the music off the iPod. I documented the steps for a different user here...

There are rules around AirTag use. My guess is when she disables data, she does not disable Bluetooth. This keep the AirTag into the "Near-Owner Mode". So it will not query other devices for connections to get location updates. If both data and Bluetooth are disabled, then the AirTag would...

Typically you just reply to the thread. I merged your post to the original thread. Then made it a bit more readable with white space. The Apple "shuffle" is not great. I have a set of 30 playlists to make a better random on my iPods and iPhones. If that SD card was not a name brand or...

Air tags rely on data connected devices near them to relay their location. If you put an air tag in an empty lot where no one walks by with a cell phone that has a data connection, it will likely not get located. Same for an air tag where there is a dead zone for cellular networks and no wifi...

The older Ford had a secondary interface that could communicate with iPods, as was popular in the mid 2010s. Most likely this was NOT using Car Play, but a direct iPod interface left over from previous models of the same vehicle. Since iPods became end of life (July 2017) then automotive...

Car Play requires iOS. The iPod does not have that obviously. I found I can use lower capacity iPhones just fine with Car Play. I just rotate my music with iTunes on a weekly basis and use compressed audio (m4a/AAC). I also liked Bluetooth directly from the iPhone without Car Play, as Car...

Confirmed. Smart playlist on iOS 17.1.1 are static until the next sync with iTunes. This ruins my pool lap swimming playlist as all the track will remain unchanged until the next sync, same with my car radio playlist, but in the car there are enough tracks I probably don't care. I won't buy...

I am in process of upgrading an iPad for testing. I don't see complaints about missing smart playlists on Mac Rumors so I think they will still work. There are some caveats to smart playlists on devices. 1. The source data has to be on the device for the smart play list to truly work. This...

So, syncing smart playlist to iOS 17 does not fix it? I am considering upgrading a device just to see this.

The playlists being blank is a long term issue where occasionally, a smart playlist needs to be edited and saved to have content again. I see this every 3-5 years or so. I currently have dozens of smart playlists on iOS 16.7.2 on my iPhone. They continue to work. Another article on this from...

The PC does not get My Photo Stream copies of the photos any more. As Apple shutdown that service earlier this year (see post above for an article on it). You would need a couple things to do what you are trying to do. Install iCloud for Windows: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204283 (I...

Just in case you missed it: My Photo Stream was ended in June 2023, and all photos in iCloud in My Photo Stream were deleted in July 2023. (https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/05/26/apple-is-shutting-down-the-really-old-my-photo-stream-on-july-26) Shared Albums seem to still work fine. Are...

When I swapped an iPhone 11 for an iPhone 13, I had both in my possession to allow for the direct transfer. You have a limited time to get the old phone back to Apple, a week or a bit more if I remember correctly. You can (and should) backup the old phone with iTunes on a computer (Mac/PC), as...

It is not that I am not willing to help, the tone was interpreted wrong. I was pointing out the effort already spent on this, so the same steps could be followed, but I would recommend using the USB drive to copy the iTunes folder from the old laptop to the new laptop as all the work that was...

Of course the library is empty. I am pretty sure we did this before, and we really don't want to do all that work again. The easiest way is to migrate the library from the old laptop to the new one. You would need to copy the iTunes folder from the old laptop to the new laptop. Do you have...
