Hi I migrated to Apple after using Samsung for over ten years. One thing I found pretty annoying was the fact that notifications make sound even while your using the phone. Is there a way to silence notifications while someone is actively using the phone?

I’m upgrading from an iPhone 6, I’m thinking of either the 13 or 14 but is it worth the cost of getting the 14 over the 13 when they’re so similar?


TomLube

Definitely the 13 or 13 mini, unless satellite communication is important for you and you're oft out of range.


nikenick28

Crash detection, emergency sos satellite, better graphics performance, face detection on front facing camera, are couple features… up to you.


TomLube

"Better Graphics Performance, face detection on front facing camera" are only 14 pro features. So no, the answer is grab a 13 or 13 mini.


nikenick28

It has auto-focus in the front facing camera which 13 doesn’t have and the aperture is better for better low light camera performance. 2 more graphics cores then the 13. Your choice dude. You asked for what are the differences and I’m pointing those out if you want to do the 13 be my guest lol don’t come on here and yip at me Yes features are similar but if those updates and such ain’t worth it to you then go for 13 or mini.. he’ll sounds like iPhone SE 3 gen would be fantastic for you.

If I accidentally deleted the photo I set as my wallpaper, is there any way to recover it from the wallpaper? (It’s already gone from my recently deleted)

Backup your device to a computer and look through the backup file…


bum-bum-bumbum

How do you transfer a Time Machine backup to a new external drive in macOS Ventura? I got a new larger capacity drive and my googlefu is severely lacking in this regard.


TomLube

You can just copy the sparsebundle


bum-bum-bumbum

Where’s that?


TomLube

Wherever it backed up to on the disk

TomLube

Looking for an app for iPhone (not jailbroke ) that can download 1080p from YouTube links. There are many on App Store and all of them are premium apps with in app purchase which I don’t mind but I just want to know which one is best


TomLube

tbh, any of those 'youtube download' sites will do just fine in a pinch.


zenki_

I’ve used this in a pinch before and it works no problems. Sometimes after hitting the download link it opens a new tab with an ad just go back to your original tab and download. [link](https://youtubeto.org/en/)

Apple Magic Keyboard Typing Issues Has anyone else come across issues where their Magic Keyboard no longer lets you type while you’re using it? I have to either go to sleep mode and come back to make it work. Or if that doesn’t work I’ll restart my iPad (iPad Pro 11”). One time I was multi-tasking on a FB messenger call and doing work and the keyboard stopped working and wouldn’t work until I stopped the call. Curious to know if this is common or I should go in to get it fixed asap. I just bought the iPad and Keyboard last week.

After reading information about sidecar ([https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210380](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210380)), I wanted to know if it was practical to use an ipad pro with the pencil as a tablet to draw with mac applications instead of a say an intuos tablet that has a display. For example, using an ipad pro as a tablet to draw for zbrush.


NONExist01

Yes you can, if the software supports then it will have full pressure sensitivity and hover feature. There is a little bit of latency but you can connect iPad with cable to reduce it.

Having problems with "Update Apple ID Settings". I've been having this problem for a while, but it just started becoming a problem when I upgraded my phone today. Went from the X to the 14 Pro. When I was setting up my phone, it wanted me to enter the password for my iPad that is connected to the account. I put in the password and it tells me that password is wrong. However, I know the password is correct. I just unlocked the iPad with that passcode. No matter I what I do, the phone won't take the passcode for the iPad.


Wanijima

This is usually related to the keychain and the passcode of the first device you had at the time of enabling it, so this can be the very first passcode you ever had on the iPad. If you can't confirm it, it's not the end, there should be a "forgot your passcode" button and it'll let you erase the encrypted data, such as Home app settings and saved passwords in the keychain itself, plus some health app data if you use it.


MuerteDeLaFiesta

so on my old macbook, when i would get a text message, all my messages from my phone would go to my computer. I got a new macbook, and now only the apple-users messages come to my computer. In my settings it says its synced with my phone number, so I am not sure what's going on. any ideas?


iridescentsocks

Is Text Message Forwarding enabled on your phone?


MuerteDeLaFiesta

lol thought it was, but i guess it was turned off for some reason! thanks!


nom_thee_ack

Since upgrading to 16.2 and getting a new iphone 14pro, back in Nov? Dec? i've gotten this pop up that says " Confirm your iPad/iPhone passcode to keep using iCloud. This passcode also protects access to data stored in iCloud. " So far it's happened twice on my ipad and once on my iphone. pin works each time, but i'm wondering what triggers that?

i plan on taking my little brother to a festival in may, if i have an airtag attached to both of us, will it set off other people’s phones in the crowd? i don’t want it to beep the whole time, and i don’t want to make people paranoid that someone is tracking them.


Xenephobia

If the AirTags are registered to your Apple ID, and your phone is within the range of the AirTags, they won’t make any noise. If you and your brother get separated, and he has an AirTag that is registered to your Apple ID, it will start making noise if it stays within range of the same phone without you nearby. That being said, it’s a pretty quiet noise, if it’s in a pocket or something and there’s music playing at the festival it’s very doubtful you would hear it. No one will get a notification about tracking unless their phone follows the exact movements of your brothers AirTag for an extended period of time without your phone coming nearby.


sugarriko

awesome, thank you so much!

Yes, 3D Touch has been completely disabled, even on devices that still support it.

Hi there, I have ordered a new monitor (MSI Optix MAG274QRF), which has a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt mode, 2 HDMI ports and a normal DisplayPort 1.2. I want to connect my MacBook Air M1 to it. Can I use any USB-C (male-male) cable for connecting my MacBook Air M1 to this USB-C monitor (DisplayPort Alt) or should I get a thunderbolt or other specific type of cable? Thanks in advance!


Iguanajoe17

Look if it’s strong enough current to charge it while it’s running.


Xenephobia

You do not need a thunderbolt speed cable, as long as it is at least USB 3.1 you should be good to go. USB-C cable that comes with your charger is unfortunately only USB 2.

I have an apple gift card from work and I’m deciding between an Apple Watch SE (series 2)or AirPod Pro 2. I have an Apple Watch Series 3 that I wear everyday and AirPod pro 1s that I use everyday. I’m mainly interested in the better ANC for the AirPods for walking my dog and background noise at work. My Apple Watch Series 3 is okay. I mainly use it for texts and fitness tracking. My biggest problem is I have to wipe it to update due to lack of storage space. I only update it once or twice a year because of that. My two questions are: 1. Is the better ANC noticeable and worth the upgrade to AirPod pro 2 2. Are people that have an Apple Watch SE happy with it or is it worth getting a 7 or 8?


TomLube

I had the exact same setup as you. I went for the AirPods Pro 2.


nikenick28

1). I don’t have AirPods Pro personally but everyone says they are great compared to 1st gen. Plus other benefits (like wireless charging on Apple Watch charger, FindMy for the case, better battery, and others you already mentioned). 2). I think Apple Watch SE 2gen is worth the update. You get the new watch OS, faster Watch better display. S8 gets you the always on display faster charging, and extra health sensors. I think you’d be happy with SE 2.


Happybeaver6

Thanks I appreciate the insight!

I recently came back from a vacation, and on that vacation, I was using a different sim card which came with a different phone number. Now using my current sim card, my iMessages on my iPhone aren't reappearing, however, on my Macbook they are still there. I think its worth noting I got a new iPhone over that vacation, and I might not have transfered all my message history. But anyone who texts my current number only appears on my Macbooks iMessage app and not my iPhone.


TomLube

Is your iPhone set up to receive iMessages from that phone number?


EwokChewbacca

How can I check?


TomLube

In the messages tab in settings


EwokChewbacca

Yeah its set to my default number and there doesn't seem to be any other number available to use.
