Do you need AM to listen to genre stations? I have AM so I'm not sure.

The radio station Beats 1 is available to all. No subscription required. For additional features like listening to past episodes of shows you need Apple Music, however. But anyone can listen live for free.

Google Play Music has free genre stations IIRC. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6230658?hl=en Check it out here: https://play.google.com/music/listen Click the burger menu and go to 'Browse stations'.

I wonder if I can prune that list somehow. The normal swipe-to-delete gesture should give you the option to hide a purchase. As for unhiding (in case you want something back), iirc you have to do that through iTunes. It'll take you a long time to do a lot of pruning though.

Having a weird issue after upgrade from a 5S to a 6S. Restored from iCloud, everything working fine except when I try to send a pic to someone it says the pic failed to send. They still actually receive it, but it says it was sent as a text message. I've tried the usual stuff, disabling/enabling messaging, removing/readding iCloud account. Not sure what to try next.

I'm finishing up a weeklong vacation. I got hundreds of photos and plenty of 1080p 60FPS video. Quite a few family members want to know what I've been up to. Is there an easy way to bulk upload a portion of my photo album online so they could see? I used Imgur last time, but that was a little complicated for mom and dad. That, and it didn't like videos. Any options that are simple for me and dead easy for my parents to see?

Do they have iDevices? You can share a photo stream with them.

Just use Google Photos, it's faster and easier. Download the Google Photos app then send people a shared link. No need for an iDevice.

General hardware question: Has anyone ever had problems with their iPhone or iPad home button? I am talking about it stopping working or being sticky or hard to use, etc. (For the record I've had several devices and never had any problems whatsoever but it goes get pushed probably anywhere from 20-100 times each day.)

My iPhone 5 developed a really hard to activate home button around about a year and a half or so. I was living and dying by assistive touch until I got my 6S+. My girlfriend's, purchased at the same time, did it as well but not quite as bad.

I'm helping my mom set up a new iPad as a desktop/laptop replacement, she likes it so far, but I'm having a small iCloud issue. She has a 5C, both devices are fully updated and have rebooted/cycled iCloud, but it seems as if only Photos have properly synced between them via iCloud. I can't manage to pull her contacts and messages (if the latter is even a thing between iPhone and iPad?) Everything looks in order on the iPhone -- iCloud is the only account on the device, and Contacts are enabled in iCloud's settings pane. Both devices are set up for full iCloud usage. I'd add them manually as she doesn't have a ton, but I'd really rather figure out the parity issue so she can enjoy messaging and FaceTime while using the iPad instead of having to swap to her dinky phone.

Check if the 5C has an iCloud backup completed under iCloud settings. If it doesn't, make one. After you have a backup on iCloud, erase all content and settings on the iPad and when setting it up, select restore from iCloud backup and choose the backup from the 5C. This will bring back her contacts and messages as well as most of the things from the 5C.

Edit: I found it -- mom had her default contacts on the 5C set to "On My iPhone," so none of them were being added to iCloud contacts. enojy fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Apr 23, 2017 |

Not every phone can have the flex assembly replaced, and as such, they'd need to do a replacement display.

^ - thanks I love that guy I thought the issue was that the fingerprint sensor talks directly to the Enclave chip - there was a story about DIY replacement places (not an Apple Store) doing replacements that ultimately caused the phones to brick (I belive because the Enclave was like "wait a second, something is wrong with the fingerprint sensor!")

fwiw, I had a "sticky" home button on my SE and they replaced the front panel for free. No AppleCare or anything, I was just within the standard 1 year warranty and there had been no physical damage to the phone.

http://www.cultofmac.com/252406/apple-pairs-every-touch-id-sensor-to-its-a7-chip-to-make-them-super-secure/ The little ICs you see on the flex cable are cryptographically tied to the mainboard's secure enclave. You can't just replace the enclave it's part of the SoC as far as I know. There is a way to update the secure enclave firmware and I'm betting that is what Apple does when replacing TouchID sensors. Another very Apple thing to do would be to replace the mainboard/TouchID button as one part.

Apple has special machines that allow a new TouchID sensor to be paired with an existing enclave. Supposedly it's pretty automated. It was in blogs recently.

Pivo posted:http://www.cultofmac.com/252406/apple-pairs-every-touch-id-sensor-to-its-a7-chip-to-make-them-super-secure/ Replacing the mainboard would wipe all the data and change the phone's IMEI. I'd suspect the firmware update would be how they do it. I'm kind of surprised there is a way to update it, it seems like that would defeat the whole point if the procedure ever leaked out or was otherwise discovered.

I am about to do a complete restore of my wife's iphone (not from backup), so I understand all apps and settings will be lost and it will be a complete factory reset. But once she logs back into iCloud, she'll have all her photos and videos and messages restored. Is that correct? And she'll be able to download previously purchased apps and in-app purchases? What about imessage attachments (photos she received, voice messages)?

No, her messages (and attachments) will be gone, as well. Those are part of the backup, but they're not stored in iCloud. Photos and videos will be restored if she has them uploading to iCloud.

polyester concept posted:And she'll be able to download previously purchased apps and in-app purchases? I can say 'yes' to this for sure. IAPs have to be 'Restored', apps with IAPs should have a 'Restore Purchases' button which basically asks the App Store which IAPs you have. Otherwise, the App Store even has a 'Purchased' view which shows you apps that are tied to your account but are not on the phone. I'm not sure if iMessages are backed up. I didn't get iMessages from my iPhone downloaded automatically when I logged into my iPad (although new msges worked just fine) - but my iPhone isn't set to backup to iCloud so YMMV.
