Re: Apple TV wifi connection

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Severin,

tvOS 10 is only available on the fourth-gen (and later in the future) Apple TV. 
Third-gen and earlier Apple TVs run a different operating system that no longer 
receives updates.

Ah come on Severin, lash out and purchase a new AppleTV 4 you will not be 
disappointed. ;-)  Only A$299 for 64GB (which I have) or A$239 for 32GB

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Ronni Brown]

Hi again Marcus,

If the test I mentioned in my previous reply did not make any difference, run 
EtreCheck.app version 3.1.2 to get a system report.
It might give you/us a clue as to what is happening.

The EtreCheck report is a snapshot of the overall health of your Macintosh. 
Each individual line in the EtreCheck report may not have much meaning by 
itself. 
But taken together, the whole report tells a story about what is or is not 
really going on inside your Macintosh.

It will also check for any Malware.

If you don't have EtreCheck on your Mac, download it from here:

 Thanks Ronni,
 I don’t wish to take up your time on this problem.
 I used Activity Monitor and when I went back NC it faied again with “not 
 responding” I repeated that so I can say it didn’t work
 Then I went to Terminal and entered killall NotificationCenter as you 
 suggested.
 Nothing happened after I pressed “return” Or if it did there wasn’t a 
 response from NC.
 Maybe I have some Malware, but Sierra is working fine other than this NC 
 problem.
 Disk Doctor says AOK.
 Should I try some other startup command?

Re: Update to new iOS for iPhone 5 ?

[Rob Phillips]

Hi
The issue will will be the version of OSX that the iPhone will try to 
pair with.


If that's on old mac - you might not be able to sync contacts, music, etc.

Hi Marcus,

>> The remaining MAIL alerts appear after 10 minutes.
>> 
>> I can’t close these alerts and the NC window is not able to be opened again.

Test if this makes any difference:
Go to System Preferences > Notifications - scroll down to Mail
Mail alert style: select “Banners’ if you don’t already have this selected.

"Banners appear in the upper-right corner and go away automatically. Alerts 
stay on screen until dismissed”
That is how I have Notifications set for most of my applications.  

Cheers,
Ronni

 1. Open Activity Monitor.app

 3. Now click the (X) “Quit Process” button, and choose “Quit” to relaunch

 Notice the Notification Center menu bar icon disappears and reappears when

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC

[Marcus F Harris]

Oh Sorry about that Ronni and Peter.
Yes I tried a “Guest Account”  and no apparent issues with NC..It works fine, 
but there are no documents in that account. I added a little used Gmail account 
and that was OK, with all boxes ticked in NC prefs.

Back in my Principal Account, NC is stable until an Alert appears.
The first Alert is From Apps asking whether I want automatic download. This 
appears after 5 minutes.
The remaining MAIL alerts appear after 10 minutes.

I can’t close these alerts and the NC window is not able to be opened again.

I’m wondering if it’s MAIL that’s the problem. What do think about that?

I have 4000 emails in my iCloud Inbox and 5000 in Google Archive.

Pretty slack, I know.

Sure I would like to get rid of 90% of them. Is there a straightforward bulk 
removal process?

Thanks and sorry to bother you again.

Re: Update to new iOS for iPhone 5 ?

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Stephen, I 'upgraded' from a 5S to a 6 last week. Prior to the upgrade I had 
updated the 5S to the latest iOS 10 with no problems. All good - a number of 
good features included and no apparent flaws - fatal or otherwise.

Hi Stephen

Kind regards

Update to new iOS for iPhone 5 ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

I have just returned back from 5 weeks in the UK and installed the new iOS on 
my iPhone 6s.
I deliberately waited till I got back thinking this would be sufficient time 
for any bugs to be ironed out.
Seems OK since yesterday.

However before I left there were suggestions that it should not be installed on 
the iPhone 5 yet (my wife’s).
Does anyone know if it is now safe to upgrade on the iPhone please ?

Regards,
Stephen Chape

Re: Apple TV wifi connection

Yes I have 10.12.1 installed.  I have an older Apple TV (gen2 or 3) and had my

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Ronda Brown]

You have something wrong happening on your system.
Are you sure you had turned Notifications back on after you had disabled it 
prior to carrying out my suggestion?

I haven't seen your reply to Peter's help.
What was your result when you carried out Peter H suggestion? 

/Begin Quote from Peter's reply message:
"The tried and true simple trouble shooting  resource is to log into another 
account on your computer (create a new one if necessary) and see if the problem 
persists, just to rule out the possibility of something specific to your 
account"

 Reset/Restart Notification Center:
 You can forcibly restart the Notification Center in Terminal.app by 
 issuing the following command string:
 
 killall NotificationCenter
 
 Note there is no space between the names

Re: ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE

[Marcus F Harris]

Thanks Ronni,
I don’t wish to take up your time on this problem.
I used Activity Monitor and when I went back NC it faied again with “not 
responding” I repeated that so I can say it didn’t work
Then I went to Terminal and entered killall NotificationCenter as you suggested.
Nothing happened after I pressed “return” Or if it did there wasn’t a response 
from NC.
Maybe I have some Malware, but Sierra is working fine other than this NC 
problem.
Disk Doctor says AOK.
Should I try some other startup command?
Cheers and thanks

 Hi Ronni,
 Thanks for your advice. Yes, Sierra otherwise operates just fine.
 I pretty much know how NC works as I had no issues before with El Capitan.
 
 I wouldn’t be concerned except when NC is functioning it reveals Mail 
 alerts which cover the RHS of the screen and cannot be deleted. In fact if 
 I point the mouse any where near the alerts, the system will freeze with 
 the spinning wheel turning for up to 20 seconds.
 
 I have turned all the NC alerts off  and that clears that up. As soon as I 
 turn Mail back on the alerts reappear and block the screen.
 Then I have to restart.
 
 I have a lot of emails in iCloud as I’m uncertain how to delete them en 
 masse so maybe that’s an issue
 
 Is it possible to reset NC somehow?
 Cheers
