RE: Choosing a Mac, getting started

The 2012 mac mini can allow you the user to update ram to 16GB max where as the newer mac mini models I believe are only upgradable by the factory with a custom design. This is the same for all mac notebooks unless you pay more for the custom builds they are all released with fearly lowish specs

Braille displays with VMware

I have a braille display paired with the Mac and now want to pair it with Windows under VMware. I cannot disconnect it from the Mac so that Windows can discover it. I do not want to unpair it from the Mac. What is the trick to make this work? Thanks. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali..

Re: radio and iPhone 5S

Hi Ricardo, Interesting thoughts. To be honest, I get the impression that the US has yet to get the full benefits of competition enjoyed by most of the rest of the world, who have had GSM all this time, and are now starting to realise what we now take for granted: that buying an unlocked phone

Re: discovered a movie rental with audible narration

The AppleTV connects to your TV via an HDMI cable, not a USB cable. If you have an old TV that doesn't have HDMI, you gonna have a problem. There may be adapters but I don't think there are. You'll need a new TV that has one or more HDMI ports. Sent from my IPhone > On Jan 1, 2016, at 8:25 PM

Thank you for clarifying. I and my partner are seriously considering purchasing an Apple TV. We are tired of TV ads! As I understand it you can stream movies and shows from Netflex and, learnt today, from Apple too? What else can you do with it? I have Comcast TV with basic cable via the mobile hom

Re: discovered a movie rental with audible narration

Currently, the only way I know to do this is via an Apple TV with the latest tvOS. I've emailed Apple about this, and they say they're working on the problem. However, there's not yet a solution. Some movies say they have description right in the title, but now we're seeing some that have descr

Re: radio and iPhone 5S

Is it just a matter of activating the FM chip, though? I thought I remember reading somewhere that part of the problem was getting an antenna that could be shared among all the radio frequencies. Some phones were using the headphone socket to provide the radio with an aerial, and that of cours

Jonathan! I still have my n82 phone that has radio and Icould use that in an emergency but it seems counterproductive to have a chip in a phone and not have access to it. I've lived where power is out, and there is no access to services and radio is always reassuring during those times. I can o

Hi Jim, with your talk of the blizzard you experienced, you've hit on exactly why many of us believe there should be an FM radio in every smartphone. Disasters. In an earthquake, major storm, or sadly even in a terror attack, it's too easy for infrastructure to be overloaded or damaged. There wa

Yup, Exactly. I called Apple yesterday, and this is indeed not a bug. Its a limitation caused by how they route calls. Basically, Your watch is already being treated as a bluetooth speaker/mic. So,The call is being defaulted to the watch speaker. I didn’t realize that calls were being relayed v
