RE: Issues for the Apple watch with messenging?

Hi Kawal, I use siri to send messages both iMessages and text from my phone and she gives the name of the person it's being sent to rather than the phone number. I don't always get the replies or messages first time that matter on my watch, It really depends. -Original Message- From:

And a recommendation from me is that if your use to using windows then with a good processor 16GB ram and minimum 500GB SSD You could setup windows in bootcamp and get the best of both worlds. That would be a custom build of the air, but not in the 13inch pros, I don't believe anyway. The thi

Do you have the watch on power / charger when your doing this? I do know it takes a longer time to update the watch os but that's why I do the update over night and my watch is on charge But still yeah it's a couple of hours at most to update the watch last time I did it. -Original Messa

Hi Rhonda, I’ve only had a shortish time with the pro mac book with touch bar so can’t really say a lot other than, go to a store if you can and have a look at one to get the feel of them. One of the things I’m not currently a fan of is the flatness of the keyboards in the new mac books be the

Re: Choosing my First MacBook, Air or Pro, and With or Without Touch Bar?

Hi, You do not need an external keyboard in Recovery mode. Press cmd-power three times quickly to turn VO on/off. In fact, you can use this command while in Recovery mode or regular MacOS mode. Regarding the function keys, you can reach them very easily simply by pressing the FN key and pres

It seems to me that if it’s someone in my contacts the watch will display the name. I’m a pretty new watch user so I might not know enough to really be of help. Marie Lyons Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 4, 2018, at 3:31 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > > Hi. > > Please can someone confirm if t

Hi. Please can someone confirm if they have the same problems as I do when using text messaging on the Apple watch please? You write your message using another apple device with all the contact information i.e. name and number and so on. When you get a reply, all details show up on your comput

Re: More About Buying My First Mac

I agree. It sounds like you don't need anything very intensive, so an Air should be fine. I'd suggest, as others have, getting it upgraded some. Go for more ram and storage, if possible. I'd guess 8GB of ram should be enough, and storage depends on how much you'll want to keep on the computer ve

Re: Standing on the crossroad.

I think many know my story on Android. I had an iPhone six, a Mac mini late 2012, and didn’t much like either. “Apple is buggy and closed,” I said at the time. Of course, weak arguments from someone who wasn’t settled down yet. So, I got the Google Pixel, the latest, coolest device, right from t

Based on what you said you wanted to do, you would probably be fine with the macbook air, I do similar things and that's what will be my next laptop, unless Apple discontinues them. > On Mar 4, 2018, at 10:32 AM, Rhanda Hasley > wrote: > > Hi All, > > Thank you for your very informative and

Re: Choosing my First MacBook, Air or Pro, and With or Without Touch Bar?

One limitation of the 12 inch macbook, unless they have changed it is that there is only one USB C port and that is also used for charging. So, if you want to charge your Mac and connect other devices, you have to purchase Apple's dock that provides port expansion. > On Mar 3, 2018, at 1:26 PM,

Re: Choosing my First MacBook, Air or Pro, and With or Without Touch Bar?

I would suggest the macbook air, one of the big advantages the macbook pro offers is the retena display which is meaningless for a blind person. If you decide to get the macbook pro, I would avoid the touch bar, it can allow you to do some things in some apps a bit faster but in my opinion it ma

Re: Problem with Safari and Facebook

There is a way to disable quicknav, but unless you are using activities this would disable it on the entire system. In the VoiceOver utility, open the commanders area and switch to the QuickNav tab. There are three checkboxes here: 1. Enable Quick Nav 2. Allow toggling of Quick Nav using left
