Is there any way to prioritize networks? There are several wifi networks at work, and the strongest one is the internal (no internet access) network. I need to connect to that occasionally, but normally just want the 'public' wifi with internet network. Without fail I have to manually reconnect to the public network. I'd just delete the secure network, but I don't want to have to remember the goddawful passcode.

Did the online storage get bumped to 100k from 25k after? I could probably trim my crap and get down to that, but it's still annoying it can't support my library being over that size. Just let me tag stuff I'm happy to not have online.

I understand with Spotify that is a concern, with Music I can't recall anyone ever pulling their music from the service. Maybe it will happen in the future but so far so good.

At the iOS 9 WWDC reveal they said the limit would be bumped to 100k when it launched. I have no idea if they actually went through with it since I'm not even near 25k of my own songs.

Yeah the upload limit changed to 100K in either September or October.

Does LastPass work without internet access on the iPhone? If so just put the wifi password in LastPass, then you can delete it and connect to it when needed, you should be able to copy/paste the pass fairly easily. Could be wrong but just an idea.

Minidust posted:Google Play + Windows iTunes is a pretty great combo for listening to your own music. There's a desktop app that uploads/matches your full iTunes library into Google Play (up to 50,000 tracks) so it's all available for streaming in the phone app, alongside the usual Pandora-type stations. The desktop app even adds new music to Google Play when you add it to iTunes; it's not just a one-time dump. I've been doing this exact setup for a couple years now. I ripped all of my old CDs into iTunes and they let the PC Google Play app do it's thing. Anytime I buy a new song on iTunes it automatically uploads out to Google Play. I have playlists in iTunes I use for some stuff, but I also set a bunch of up Google Play. Makes it super easy to stream any of my personal music.

Even if you've never connected your Mac to a specific network, it gets the credentials from your iPhone via iCloud Keychain and the networks can be arranged on it regardless. Makes sense. I have an old Wallstreet G3 that still boots into OS 9 - maybe that'd work...

Contract deals are fluid. It doesn't happen often but it does happen sometime - Prince comes to mind as he pulled all of his stuff in favor of Tidal streaming exclusive. Spotify has a contentious label relationship to say the least so you tend to hear about it more. iTunes is also still chugging along happily so you usually still have the option of buying the album outright too.

My girlfriend texted me this morning saying her iPhone deactivated itself overnight. I questioned her on what she meant, and she said that she woke up late because her alarm didnt go off. She then noticed that her phone was deactivated, and nothing would work (email, imessage etc) until she activated it again. I asked her if it seemed like it factory reset itself, and she said no because when she activated it, everything was there intact and started working again. Does anybody know what happened? Google keep talking about jailbroken phones, but hers is totally stock.

Weedle posted:If I had a bunch of MP3s I wanted to keep in the cloud, I'd switch from Spotify to Apple Music in a second. I've still got a student discount from grad school, so I decided to sign up for Apple Music for a month and compare them. My guess is that I'll end up keeping Apple Music just because I can keep everything in one spot. Plus with them adding their own Discover-style playlists in iOS 10, there's nothing Spotify really has on them. Google Music would be another option for keeping my normal files, but that's not actually available in Korea.

The only bad thing I've heard about Apple Music is that it's impossible to browse a genre that isn't on the drop down list. A friend of mine was trying to figure out how to browse J-Pop, which does show up as a genre if you click on a J-Pop album, but there's no way to do it. You can't click on the word, you can't search for it (it gives you the curated page, which isn't what she's looking for, and a bunch of unrelated albums). She just wanted a list of albums of that genre and she can't find it. She couldn't find folk or celtic music either, again she can search for those words but she gets a partial list of albums at best, and on that list it's like mostly stuff that has the words in the song/album name rather than stuff of that particular genre.

Upgrading to a Steve Edition from my 5S, just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Gifting my unlocked 5S to my Mum cause her current Huwai Android phone is just garbage. 1. Perform wired backup through iTunes 2. Wipe and reset the handset (General > Reset > Erase all content and settings?). Remove it from Find my iPhone. 3. Swap Sims. 4. Restore my backup to the new iPhone Do I have it right? Anything I missed? I assume I don't need to worry about iMessage cause the SIM is the same and I'm swapping to an iPhone. If I want to back up all the apps on my phone to my PC, how do I do that? The chat earlier mentioned apps are no longer included in wired backups and I recall when I activated my 5S redownloading all the apps was kind of a pain, it'd be nice to get them at the same time I'm re-adding all my music to my iPhone.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:If "until she activated it again" means she had to enter her Apple ID information again before she could access the phone again it likely updated itself overnight and needed to reauthorize her Apple credentials, as firmware updates will occasionally trigger. Interesting, I'll have to ask her tomorrow when I see her what exactly happened. This sounds like a likely scenario. Would an OS update disable alarms that have been set, though?

Biodome posted:Actually, I thought he said that about 3.5" phones because he died before the 5 was announced. Oh yea, that's true. I forgot the iPhone was actually 3.5" prior to the 5. Case chat: this company NOMAD is taking pre-orders for a leather 6/6S/6+/6S+ case. $39.95 gets you a case that looks pretty similar to the $50 Apple leather case, but made with confirmed Good poo poo Horween leather, so it's almost certainly better. It really looks like they were trying to emulate the Apple case, which is a good thing IMO. I really want it, but I'm on my third case in 2 years and that's enough money spent on cases when I haven't really ever needed one.

I deleted a bunch of un-needed photos from Photos on my Mac recently - about 9,000 of them. Now every time I plug my phone in it shows that there are 9.000ish photos available to import, so evidently those photos are still living on my phone somewhere. They don't show up in Recently Deleted, though. Is there any way to fix that?

It behaves really weirdly because one afternoon I deleted all of the temporary one off public networks I've ever connected to that OS X saved only to find it all was restored when my iPhone decided to sync key chains, I'm assuming. My point is that whatever order you drag and drop them in will probably be overwritten by the phone.

I can verify I missed my alarm for work because I okayed an iOS update for between 2am-5am or whatever. The alarm doesn't function until after setup. I imagine that's made quite a few people late getting up in the morning, I wonder why there hasn't been more of a stink.

The iPhone Upgrade Program terms are confusing. If I use the program but want a new phone after 6 months, what are my options and which is the most advantageous? I'm thinking of getting the 7 but might also want the 7S.
