[WAMUG] Apple TV Remote

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Hi members,
I would like to use my iPhone 15 iOS 17.4.1
as an Apple TV remote. 
The online instruction is 
Settings 
Control Centre 
View Apple TV Remote
Tap on the icon to reveal the remote screen.
I must have misread or misinterpreted that because tapping on the icon does 
nothing.
I then looked for an Apple TV remote app.. can’t see that either.
Can anyone provide a work around to reveal the remote screen. Please

Re: [WAMUG] Which Email address?

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

As I understand the situation, IINET or WESTNET are the internet service 
providers and that won’t change. 
One isn’t obliged to use @ iinet or @ westnet.
I haven’t used those addresses for several years and I’m happy with all the 
apple addresses @me @ Mac @ iCloud.

Re: [WAMUG] WAMUG General Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Thanks Maureen.
I’m interested to know if any member or member’s associate comes to households 
or communicates online to do maintenance. 
For example I have 25000 iPhotos and a bewildering number of old emails.

[WAMUG] Problem with replyingto emails in Apple Mail

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

I have an issue with Mail.
When I reply to an email, the text will not type normally, Initially the 
letters are bunched together, then instead of typing a letter, the next key 
brings up a text box and then another key moves to the image shown below within 
a box requesting  "markup “
I can do a work round by typing within the signature and then cut and paste, 
but it’s not one off and more than annoying.
Any solutions gratefully accepted.

 Hi there. I bought a Macbook Pro 2013 Retina 13” in 2013 (late). It
 has been and is still a reliable Macbook. It doesn’t get used for
 much but I do need it. A few months back I noticed the keyboard area
 beginning to bulge upwards and the keyboard alloy shell is deforming
 upwards. It still is working fine. I keep it on power all the time
 and rarely take it away from the power to use it for portability.
 Bulge is becoming more pronounced over time.

 My suspicion is the nearly 10 year old battery is expanding and
 pushing up the chassis from beneath the keyboard. I see some online
 DIY battery replacement procedures and I’ve done many other Macbook
 Air, Pro batteries before - but the Retina seems more complex,
 though not overly daunting for my relevant experience in doing these
 tasks. I could give it a go.

 Naturally I have backups all in order in the event of a disaster.

 Has anyone here done a 2013 MBP Retina 13” battery change - or would
 Apple even touch it?

 Comments please.

 Thanks in advance

 Peter Crisp.

Re: [WAMUG] Fwd: Users Group Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Although I cannot participate in the meeting, I would like to know the best way 
to save all my current emails- just in case-then delete them (thousands) 
entirely from the severs. We have both gmail and apple mail accounts
Should you discuss that I’ll be keen to read the outcome.
Kind regards

Re: [WAMUG] September's General Meeting

[Marcus Harris via WAMUG]

Thanks for the Information.
I cannot attend meetings because I am  carer and needed during that time.
However I follow the queries submitted by members and I feel sure that the 
respondents provide the answers /solutions benefiting all.
Well done to the dedicated committee.
Cheers
Marcus
