I want a Yoga App where I can define intervals and positions, but I can't find any that are free. AKA I want to make a unique yoga class.

So anything that can attain the above features would be appreciated.

These two seem to do what you want.

Intervals Pro - specifically geared towards workouts including yoga
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/intervals-pro-interval-timer/id957586938

1timer - general timer app but supports "timer chains" and does VoiceOver for prompts
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1timer-voice-timer/id1357874791

They both cost money however, good apps aren't free. Intervals has a free tier and $8 in-app purchase, 1timer is $3

I’ve also used Seconds Pro for HITT where you set up timer chains, each one can have a voice intro, different music, etc. Might work for you. The UI is kind of ugly but it works. It does cost money but I found it worth it.

My wife would like to construct a thing that combines text, pictures, and hyperlinks on her iPad and I’m not sure how to do it or if it’s possible/worth the hassle.

For use number one, she’d like to make a sketch of our yard with all the plants labeled. Then (in general terms) if you tap on a plant the view goes to a section with info on that plant (preferably with categories like watering, pest care, pruning time, etc.), and probably a couple of pictures too.

It doesn’t look like Pages can do it, but I’ve only tried for a few minutes. Any suggestions?

I think OneNote will allow you to create a diagram, then put objects like text boxes or photos into it, then turn those objects into hyperlinks. Might need a computer to do some parts of that process, I'm not as familiar with the app.

Yeah OneNote with hyperlinks to different pages or collapsing text boxes- drawing is better with the Apple Pencil. If you really want to use pages you might need to look at using comments?

Looks like Keynote can do it actually, you can select an element > Link, and pick another slide. It looks like it could potentially get confusing while building though, since when you pick a slide it just shows the slide number, and not sure there's a way around that. So if you end up making a whole bunch of slides you have to remember which particular slide is where when linking. And if you link to a webpage (if that was part of the plan) it switches to Safari instead of opening in app.

Something like a personal wiki or mind map w/drawing seems like it'd work well here, but no clue what's out there for that (if there's anything) and searching the App Store right now didn't help. Sounds like OneNote is worth a shot at least if Keynote is too clunky or limited.

Hi.
I am SURE this has been discussed here but what are people using for a simple(r) calendar app that works with Google calendar? That isn’t fantastical. Must also have natural language input, an agenda view, be able to invite people, recurring meetings. Don’t need much other stuff like tasks and junk. $$ is okay but hoping to avoid a subscription unless it’s pretty cheap per year.

yeah, apple’s almost certainly not surfacing how many characters your password is.

also i know not every bit of tech support advice on the internet is correct, but it just takes a quick google to see a universal agreement that an icloud account and apple id are the same thing (which is correct). afaik the only way you’d have a “separate” apple id and icloud account is if you just ended up making two accounts at some point.

I don’t know what your problem is but I can log into iCloud.com with my Apple ID email which is email@something.com. This lets me access my email@icloud.com email account on iCloud.com. To sign into my iCloud email in an app, any app, I need to make an app specific password.

Apple doesn’t know your password is 16 characters btw. If they did this is a massive issue as it means they store your password in plaintext.

I already tried iforgot.apple.com. I tried it before I posted here. It only lets you reset your Apple ID password (which I did); there ain’t jack poo poo on there for resetting your iCloud Mail password. At least, not that I could see. And I looked. If there is a way to change my iCloud Mail password on that site, I’d love for someone to tell me where it is.

I have now reset my Apple ID password twice today while trying to fix this poo poo.

An iCloud account and an Apple ID are the same thing with the same password, yes.

An iCloud Mail account, however, can apparently have a different password from the Apple ID/iCloud account in general. This is the problem I am having.

My Apple ID/general iCloud account password doesn’t work on my iCloud Mail account.

Actually I should rephrase that sentence: None of my three Apple ID/general iCloud account passwords — the original one or the two new ones I reset it to today — work on my iCloud Mail account. I have tried all three of them, multiple times, and before some smartass suggests that resetting the Apple ID password might’ve hosed things up, NO IT DIDN’T. BOTH TIMES I RESET THAT APPLE ID PASSWORD, I SIGNED OUT OF MY GENERAL ICLOUD ACCOUNT ON ALL OF MY DEVICES, AND THEN SIGNED BACK IN ON ALL OF THEM WITH THE NEWLY-CHANGED PASSWORDS BEFORE I TRIED USING THEM TO LOGIN TO MY ICLOUD MAIL ACCOUNT. And they still didn’t work.

I could not find anything on Google about how to reset an iCloud Mail password. I found tons of stuff about how to reset an Apple ID/general iCloud account password, but nothing on how to reset an iCloud Mail password.

Go to icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Tap on the Mail app icon. Is this your @icloud.com email address that you're trying to access?

If it is, then go to https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage and generate an app specific password. This is your @icloud.com email address password. Ideally you would generate a new password for every email client you want to use.

There is no such thing as an icloud.com email password (anymore, if there were ever one). You log in via your Apple ID, and you generate app specific passwords for each app you want to access your email account, calendars, contacts, whatever. For obvious reasons, Apple will not let you log into your iCloud email account using your Apple ID and password as that gives the app access to your entire Apple ID account.

I decided to try Google ONE LAST TIME and it finally spit out the solution to my problem!

Turns out I just needed something called an “app-specific password” which is a thing you can get from your iCloud account profile page. You click a couple of links and it farts out an auto-generated character string that you can use as a login password with your Apple ID on third-party apps that connect to your iCloud account, like iCloud Mail.



I can’t help but feel like Apple is to blame for this taking me 12 hours to fix because they completely failed to make this information easier to find.

aside from the part everyone's already said, there's an entire page on apple's support site about 2fa that's very relevant to you:

Apple support posted:

Generate app-specific passwords
With two-factor authentication, you need an app-specific password to sign in to your account using third-party apps or services such as email, contacts, or calendar apps not provided by Apple. Follow these steps to generate an app-specific password:

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
Follow the steps on your screen.
After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally.

I was literally halfway through typing the very last sentence in that post when I decided to try Google one more time and found my answer............ but I’d already written up pretty much the whole post, and it was a long post and it took me like an hour to type it, and I went gently caress it and posted it anyway thinking I’d come back 10 or 15 minutes later to say I found the solution but it ended up being more like 2 and a half hours later so it didn’t look as good.
