Re: Warning to anyone looking to buy a HomePod: apparently Apple thinks it's OK to sell paperweights disguised as Homepods

For me the fact that HomePods do not have any sort of Bluetooth or casting capability is a no-go for me! In case I ever want to leave the Apple ecosystem I can't believe the only thing they let you do is airplay well I guess I can believe it lol! On Sun, Mar 31, 2024, 3:17 PM 'Donna Goodin' via Ma

Re: Warning to anyone looking to buy a HomePod: apparently Apple thinks it's OK to sell paperweights disguised as Homepods

I have to agree with Donna about the HomePod. I have had Google nests, the mini ones, and overtime, Google Assistant is actually getting dumber. They’re taking longer and longer to respond and they often don’t have a clue. As for the Amazon devices, they’re OK too I suppose if you don’t mind questi

Re: Apple Quick Note

Hello, I apologize. I should have said that if you are using something other than an apple keyboard you will have to create your own shortcut for it. At least I have to when using my logitech keyboard. Greg Wocher > On Mar 29, 2024, at 9:32 AM, Brad Snyder wrote: > > A shortcut for Quick No

hi Mary, You might be surprised what is available, and inexpensively, to insure your stereo equipment can connect to other things. Part of my professional life is as a radio producer. Often those working in broadcasting need to connect their standard equipment to these new toys, so smaller ada

Re: Apple Quick Note

Yes that shortcut works. Have also added Quick Note to control center on iPhone and iPad. Will give it all a test run. Did not know this is the native Notes app. From E.T.'s Keyboard... "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." -Helen Keller My e-Mail: ancient.ali...@icloud.c

Re: Apple Quick Note

It is just a quick way to start a new note in the Notes app, so it is just as accessible as using the Notes app the regular way. There is a keyboard command to start a new note, but I can’t remember what it is. It can be done by dragging the mouse pointer to the lower right corner of the screen,

Re: More on the HomePod from hell

Hi Donna, Well good for you keeping those speakers. I think I’ve heard of Sonos amps, and I imagine they’re pretty pricey. I still have my old Adcom power amp and a preamp that dates from Gali sometime in the 80s maybe. A long time ago. It sounds great. But there’s no Bluetooth or anything anywh

Hi Brad, On Windows, it is possible to install Logitech software to change the behaviour of the function keys. No idea if Logitech do a Mac version. Ian > On 4 Apr 2024, at 19:19, Brad Snyder wrote: > > This may not be possible with all makes and models of keyboards. > While the built in key

Hi,I have an MacBook Air. I sometimes use the MacBook Air keyboard, but other times I use an Apple Magic Keyboard. Do I only need to change this setting once, or does somehow I need to do that for both keyboards?Thank you. MB.On Apr 4, 2024, at 1:20 PM, Brad Snyder wrote:This may not be possible

Re: Changing how f keys behave.

This may not be possible with all makes and models of keyboards. While the built in keyboards on MacBook Air/Pro computers, and Apple Magic Bluetooth keyboards allow modification of the behavior of F-keys, I once had a Logitech K750 Bluetooth keyboard that would not allow modification of F-key b

Re: Changing how f keys behave.

Hi, Go to System Settings, Keyboard. Interact with the scroll area and press the Keyboard Shortcuts button. You should have 2 tables. In the side Bar table choose Function keys. Stop interacting with the table and press VO+right and you should find what you are looking for. HTH. Ian > On 4 A

Changing how f keys behave.

Hi! I can not find any way to change how f keys are behaving. All of a sudden I have to press the fn key and vo+f8 to open VOiceOver utilities. I changed that long ago but have forgot. /A -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. If you have any qu
