Re: My HomePod will not play music
Hi, Mary, I’m having a similar issue, though it sounds like it’s not as severe as the one you’re having. Whenever I play a playlist, the Homepod just skips a bunch of songs. This morning, this happened, and when I tried to go back to an earlier title using the Previous Track button, I could only go back so far, and then it treated that track as though it were the first song in the playlist, even though it was probably the sixth or seventh track. For me this started happening some time on Friday. I’m thinking something must be screwed up on Apple’s end, though I can’t imagine what would cause this. And I agree, it’s bloody annoying. Hoping someone on this list has a solution, but I suspect there won’t be one until Apple fixes whatever’s causing the problem.

It is my long standing opinion, that the best thing to do when setting up a new computer, Mac or Windows, is to make a clean start, and never setup a new Mac using a Time Machine backup.

I believe that you should move all of your important documents to your iCloud drive, where they will be available from the new Mac, once you sign into your AppleID, and access your iCloud drive. Then, I would begin the process of installing your applications using the most up-to-date installers available. I agree this is the best approach.

There is a direct connect mode between mac machines.

Re: Need advice on best method for migrating from ancient Mac mini 2010 to brand new MBP 2021.
Hi, A couple of notes here. If you used Migration Assistant, all applications, documents and data, whether stored locally or within your iCloud Drive are migrated to the new Mac. With your older Mac on High Sierra, this would still be the case. Yes, going from an Intel Mac to an M1 Mac has caused a few people some problems with voice transfer, but if you use Alex, this is not an issue. The benefit to using the Migration Assistant, is that all license keys and such are transferred over as well and can save huge amounts of time as opposed to re-installation of such things. The drawbacks are that any problems you might have had on the older system can potentially be migrated over as well. While starting from scratch does have numerous benefits from this sort of prospective, I can also tell you that I’ve migrated machines from one to the other using Migration Assistant directly from the old Mac, and/or from Time Machine backups with no issues for probably the last seven or eight MacOS iterations. The suggestion of the cable for migration would improve the speed of migration from one Mac to another, but you may find this to be a bit of a challenge when migrating from such an old machine as a 2010 Mini. This is due to the need for adaptors to make the connection directly from the Mini to a USB-C Mac. Any time you can use a wired connection instead of a wireless connection will improve the speed of the migration, although having to purchase cables and adaptors for this one time transfer may be less desirable. Wireless migration is definitely possible, albeit rather slow. In the end, I’m not really recommending any of the approaches, just giving you some more food for thought.
