Re: How to Protect and Clean your Apple Card, Apple Support

[Steve Matzura]

While that may seem funny, if you got the card for its show value, then 
it's to be taken seriously. Titanium is a soft metal, easily scratched. 
The laser-etched logo and holoimaging processes are also easily damaged 
by coming into contact with  rough cloth. What Apple (or the actual 
physical card issuer) should do is issue the card in a protective 
sleeve, even one with a thin foil surrounding it to help protect it 
against magnetic damage as described in the article. EZ-Pass 
transponders come in these kinds of sleeve protectors.

Hello Everyone,

I can hardly catch my breath as I have just been reading the seemingly

Man!  I've never come across such a wonderful treasure trove of jokes in my

I wonder if Apple is laughing, also.  Probably not but, then again, they are
the ones who released the cards so, let the jokes fall where they may.

How to clean your Apple Card
See how to protect and maintain the condition of your titanium Apple Card.
  
About the titanium Apple Card

The titanium Apple Card is laser-etched with the card holder's name and the
Apple logo. A white finish is achieved through a multi-layer coating process
that's added to the titanium base material.
If your titanium Apple Card comes into contact with hard surfaces or
materials, it's possible that the coating can be damaged.
  
How to clean your titanium Apple Card

If your titanium Apple Card comes into contact with contaminants that can
cause stains, follow these steps to clean your card:
1.  Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free microfiber cloth.
2.  Moisten a soft, microfiber cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently
wipe the card.
Don't use window or household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays,
solvents, ammonia, or abrasives to clean your titanium Apple Card.
Some fabrics, like leather and denim, might cause permanent discoloration
that will not wash off.
  
How to safely store and carry your titanium Apple Card

.   Store your titanium Apple Card in a wallet, pocket, or bag made of
soft materials.
.   Place your card in a slot in your wallet or billfold without
touching another credit card. If two credit cards are placed in the same
slot your card could become scratched.
.   Don't place or store your titanium Apple Card card near magnets. If
your card is placed close to a magnetic latch on a purse or bag, the
magnetic strip can become demagnetized.
.   Don't place your titanium Apple Card in a pocket or bag that
contains loose change, keys, or other potentially abrasive objects.

Re: Killing the Touch Pad

Thanks, this sounds like a good idea, I just can’t garontie that one of our

Try deleting the incomplete ones.

I encountered this issue when I was using Apple Music, and deleting them solved 
it. However, I don't subscribe to Apple Music at the moment.

Re: Ringer Volume Question

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

That setting is the one you need.  If it says, "Change with buttons.  Off.", 
then the ringer will stay at one volume no matter what you do with the volume 
of music, VO etc.  If that setting says, "Change with buttons.  On.", then 
whatever volume you have VO, music etc set to will be the volume of the ringer 
when a call comes in.

Hope that clears things up for you.

Apple music showing albums twice .

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I think i have written about this but i have a question.
My Apple music seems to show some albums twice where one album has some of the 
song while the other is complete.
Als i have problems with uncomplete albums telling me that i can’t listen to 
this track in my country or such odd message.
My question is if a total logout from Icloud would help?
I have tried turning on and off apple music on the affected device with no help.
That did not help.
Its a bit annoying when i want to play an album and its not complete but has 
been before.
If this continues i might trash apple music and go to spotify instead.

Hi,

This is a good idea.  You'll also need to confirm that the checkbox for

Re: Killing the Touch Pad

[Pete De Vasto]

If your computer has a USB port, and you happen to have an old mouse somewhere, 
plugging that mouse in and putting it out of reach so you don’t actually move 
it around might help. I’ve got a MacBook Air with a track pad, and even when I 
turn Trackpad Commander off I still have issues sometimes, and connecting the 
mouse does help. Connecting and not using a Bluetooth mouse might also do the 
trick.

Re: Stopping Display Sharing to Apple TV

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

When you say that you turn off AirPlay, what exactly are you doing?  If you are 
going into System Prefs, then turning it off via the pop-up menu, then that's 
fine.  Technically, you're not really using AirPlay anyway since you've 
physically connected the HDMI dongle to the Mini and your TV.  That is simply 
using the TV as the connected monitor instead of a computer style monitor.  
Real AirPlay does it wirelessly to an Apple TV or other Airplay enabled device.

The only way I've found to stop sharing my Mac Mini's display with my Apple TV

the box in the Extras Display menu that says Mirror Fit-Headless, which is the 
name of the HDMI dongle I have connected to the Mini instead of a monitor, but 
unchecking this box seems to do nothing at all. The menu closes, the mirroring 
continues, and if I check again, the box is still checked. So what's the 
correct procedure to stop mirroring a display?


Thanks in advance.

Re: Synchronizing Messages Between Mac and iPhone

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

These work more or less normally for me.  Sometimes, messages take a little 
extra time to sync, especially when messing with changing phone numbers in 
group conversations, but works as it should in time.  Contacts don't always 
sync immediately, but will within less than one minute after opening the app.  
If you have messages syncing to iCloud, then I suggest that you turn iMessages 
off on the iPhone, restart the iPhone, then re-enable the iMessages service.  
Because things are synced to iCloud, you shouldn't lose anything.  Similarly, 
you can do this on each of your other devices including your Mac if things 
don't fix themselves after doing it on the iPhone.  A simple restart will not 
suffice, it seems like the resources connected with the iMessage service need a 
reset, which is done by kind of resetting the service as I mentioned.

HTH.

Yes, and my wife who is sighted also has the same behavior with her Mac, iPad, 
and iPhone. It seems like we need to have some sort of refresh process for 
iCloud that is either set to update periodically or is set to sync continuously 
when anything changes, whether an addition to , or a removal of items in the 
Messages or Contacts. In my experience, both Mail and Calendar work fine and 
are always in sync — so why not the others? And I’ve not even started looking 
at Notes and Voice Memos  to see if there are any concern there.

Re: Synchronizing Messages Between Mac and iPhone

[Steve Matzura]

I've had a similar problem since forever, Dave, even though all my 
devices show I'm using iCloud for the Messages *and* Contacts 
applications. What happens with me is that messages come to all my 
devices--two Macs, one phone, one iPad, and if I delete from one, I'm 
expecting that all the others will have that message deleted, too. But 
they don't. With Contacts, if I add a contact using one device,  I fully 
expect that it should appear on all the others,but it never does. Anyone 
who can offer help on these two problems, which I suspect are related in 
some very esoteric way, I greatly appreciate your efforts in advance.

Seems not to be working. Mac messages are way out of date. I thought this was 
handled by iCloud?
