It is called “Original Sound”, and you want it turned on for your guitar sound to go out over Zoom. - Brad - On May 30, 2024, at 16:32, 'Patrick Ford' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi, on zoom using my iPhone, I was trying to find the button to turn off the original musician sound on zoom for

Re: Question for anyone who uses AirPods Max with there Mac.

No, I have not experienced behavior like this from my AirPods Max headphones. You might try resetting the headphones, by holding down the crown and the ANC button together for about 10 seconds. Then tell your devices to “Forget” the headphones, and then pair them again, and see if this helps. -

Re: Apple Watch Series 9

I agree with Donna. I have the Apple Watch Ultimate, which has cellular, but I have not enabled cellular service because it isn’t worth $10 per month for something I’m not going to use. - Brad - On Jun 3, 2024, at 23:54, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi ET, I agree with everyth

Re: Apple Watch Series 9

I have had several Apple Watch models with the Silicon Sport band, and was originally very surprised at how much I liked it. Donna is correct, that the Sport band is not very “dressy”, but nevertheless, I found it very comfortable, and enjoyed wearing it. - Brad - On Jun 4, 2024, at 08:58, 'D

Re: iPhone se 20

I would suggest checking your battery health by going to: Settings > Battery > Battery Health, and check the Maximum capacity. If the capacity is below 80%, you may want to consider replacing your battery, or getting a new iPhone. - Brad - On Jun 6, 2024, at 00:06, Lorie McCloud wrote: for t

Re: Updating phone while in another country

It should be the u.S. version because you have your region set to United States, but I’d just leave it alone until you get back home. Your phone will be just fine until then. - Brad - On Jun 8, 2024, at 23:39, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi all, I live in the US, but am in Ita

Re: What VPN service are people using?

I don’t think iCloud Private Relay does the same thing as a VPN service, which makes it appear that your IPs location is somewhere different than where you really are. - Brad - On Jun 16, 2024, at 11:01, Herbie Allen wrote: I would think the best solution would be iCloud Private relay. It’s

Re: Moving files to a portable drive with folders already present

Well, I don’t use column view because I don’t like it, but in whatever View you choose to use, simply navigate to the top level in the drive, and copy/move your folders there. Alternatively, you can press CMD + Shift + C, and then select your drive, and press CMD + DownArrow to open the drive.

Re: Granting permissions

I assume when you say Rogue Amoeba, you mean you are trying to upgrade Loopback. There is a big problem with the latest update to Loopback, and you should avoid this update for now. Since it sounds like you have already installed the update, and are stuck trying to grant permission to the new aud
