RE: Question for Apple TV users regarding sound bar

Hi mary, I think I saw this reply from Tim also. The newer 4th gen tvs don't have the optical connection. This is why my sonos play bar connects to my Samsung tv and then my apple tv also but using HDMI connects to the Samsung tv also. I then had to disable the Samsung tv's speakers to ensu

RE: New router or not?

No reason why you can't use it as an access point in another part of the house to extend your range, You should have no issues connecting it via a network cable from one of the ports on the back. -Original Message- From: 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries Sent: Friday, 14 June 2019

Yes, I helped teach a specific class on this just this spring. I haven’t turned on my Mac mini in almost 4 months, I probably should just to update apps and Mojave. But my iPad Pro 11 inch gets the job done for me, the reading of email on the split screen is not bad at all. You just change yo

Hi Simon, I have decided on a poke sound bar, from Amazon for 400 bucks. It had really good reviews, including one by a blind person who said they were using an Apple TV with it. It is the Polk audio magnifi max. It comes with a nice healthy sized sub, so I am looking forward to a significant up

Re: reformatting 2009 iMac drive

Hi, Do you already have the High Sierra installer? Or, does it already have High Sierra on it? I ask this because it is slightly challenging to download the High Sierra Installer app now that Mojave is the most current MacOS. It is doable, but not as easy as just going to the App Store. Bey

Hi, Sorry. Took me a bit to get around to looking at this one. When you say that you're changing the label of an unopened folder, what exactly are you doing? Are you using the VO labelling feature, or something else? I've never modified the name of a folder from the outside before, only whi

RE: reformatting 2009 iMac drive

Hi, Tim might think differently to me on this, 2 ways I would suggest are either you have a USB flash drive setup to be a bootable installer with High sierra on it. Not that complicated so log as you have an 8gb usb flash drive and obviously the actual install media. Or possibly the simpler on
