Strong Sauce posted:So if I turn off my AT&T sim in the States it'll remove it from iMessage but I should still be able to get imessages for "my" account though right? Because what happened last year was it asked if I wanted to add my foreign number after it recognized a new sim and I said yes but it ended up not actually syncing with my imessages. If you "lose" that specific number from iMessage, people trying to send messages to that number would not reach you. I would suggest keeping the US sim on, just replacing it in the favorite data provider picker with the travel one.

Ah drat, they’re wise to people trying to pay less for a battery replacement on an AirPod Pro rather than a repair. When they noticed that both of them failed basically every diagnostic they had, they wouldn’t even give me the option of only replacing one. Replacing both gen 1 AirPods Pro is most of the way towards just buying a brand new set of gen 2 so it seemed silly to do that. I’ll bear the ear deafening cracking when I put them in until I can no longer stand it and just buy a new set.

I hope they make the battery replacements more economical because god drat these wireless earbuds are the epitome of buy-and-throw-away consumerism. It’s wasteful as poo poo. It’s not just Apple; even for other brands these things are basically never repaired, only replaced.

Is there any way to get native photos on Windows? The stupid Win 11 Photos app looks to be falling back to JPEG, which is pathetic. edit: iCloud Photos in a browser, select the photos you want, click ... in the menu and download Highest Resolution. Not the most ideal, but it works. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Dec 22, 2023 |

Everyone my coworker texts, calls, etc. it shows up on their phone as his wife's name. This recently started happening (past few weeks). I tried to help him out:
Is this as simple as taking the other phone numbers off the iCloud list? Those other phone numbers have been there for 10 years so it doesn't explain why this is now all of a sudden a problem.

Talked with him again and it's actually the Contact Photo/Poster thing that other people are seeing. His apple ID is still in use by like 3-4 people in his family, but everyone has the "send/receive iMessages from" checked with their phone and email. It let us get into his contact photo this time and sure enough it has his wife's stylized poster showing up. Now I think this happened "weeks ago" when the wife got the latest iPhone and it asked to set up poster for her. So, long term what's the right way to iDivorce and split everyone's iCloud accounts out? I think my wife and I have separate iCloud accounts but sign into the App Store with the same creds. Would that work here? Is there a migration tool or is it just start over?

Yeah I thought it was pretty nuts when I was like “who are these other phone numbers?” But I guess it’s worked for them until the contact card thing. I don’t know how the apps and backups worked with all those drat devices. I’ll tell him to split it apart but doesn’t sound like there’s a way to split it out.

Wife and I shared an iTunes account before the iPhone existed so we only had to buy songs once that both of us liked. Then we got phones and split and now I got so much of her stuff (that I am not a fan of) littering my account.

My wife has two iPhones, a work provided one (Xr) and a personal one (13). Whenever she plops the two of them on top of each other to bring the laptop/notebook/papers menagerie anywhere, they pop up some contact syncing thing. (Her own to her own, curiously). How do we turn this off completely? It steals focus from whatever she’s doing.

I dealt with trying to explain this to countless customers and some of them just don’t get it. There are also some couples that I guess like having their contacts sync. My favorite memory was helping a customer get her daughter a phone, she used the same Apple ID, her kid later went to contacts and was like “I don’t know these people” and erased them all. Whoops.

I'm really enjoying shooting photos on this new 15 pro but I'm someone who knows nothing about photography, iPhone or otherwise, beyond tapping subjects to focus on them. Are there any good resources where I can learn about iPhone photography? Not just the different lenses, but things like toggling focal lengths and how that affects the composition of your photo, all that kind of stuff I'm curious about now. Preferably something to read rather than a dead-eyed YouTuber sat at a preternaturally clean desk. The Grumbles fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Dec 23, 2023 |

There's nothing unique about composition on the phone versus a big camera, the only differences are going to be the amount of messing around with gear or post processing. Probably the most verbose book on the topic is "the art of photography" by Bruce Barnbaum. But it's a common recommendation and a pretty good read. If you can stomach YouTube blabbing I'd start with something like this: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTQtLjIqecdydlanOGh6iwoWOb9VxpDts&si=thHYGOHIGP5qoRt9 It's a relatively well done playlist stepping through the elements of composition and the overall lesson is using a camera is more about observing the world than learning rules. If something catches your eye as "interesting" there's probably something good there so the education is more about teasing the most effective frame out of it.

Your local library should have books on general photography, and even digital/phone photography and specific editing apps, if they're large enough. There's also a cell phone photography thread, if you wanna poke around and show some stuff.

I’m kinda sympathetic to account sharers, I think if you’re not computer-brained it can be a much more natural way to set up something you don’t really care about. Especially for something like an iPad! “Family iPad” has got to be one of the most common unsupported use cases. It should be possible to set up individual accounts later and then reassign purchases or whatever post-facto, but because IP law is this world’s prime directive it can’t be allowed.

Lot of people think "account" is like a bank account and therefore "joint checking account" That's why back in the day when I was building community sites I avoided using the term "account" and veered toward "profile" to try to prevent people from applying their preexisting metaphors to it

~Coxy posted:Even sharing a password using the new AirDrop thing, it just creates a copy of the password in their account, it doesn't actually create a family password. True but this doesn't take away from the functionality of Family Passwords - you can move any of your saved passwords to it and the menu entry to do it is right beside the airdrop entry. I think airdropping a password is intended as a secure way to share a password with someone not in your family group. So yeah it would be nice if Apple did introduce a Family Contacts list that exists outside of your private contact list, where edits would be shared, while still keeping airdropping for a one-time "here's so-and-so's info" if it goes to someone not in your family group.

Question Mark Mound posted:I don’t know if it’s still common but Apple Stores used to do bookable free lessons on using their devices’ features. I did the photography one and it was actually really good. Some of it was explaining the phone’s features but a lot of it was an intro to photo theory like rule of thirds and leading lines and taking us around the local area showing good photo spots and how to frame them. They still offer these, they're called "Daily Sessions" now and you can find your local store's schedule on their store page through apple.com. My local store has Workshop: Photography on iPhone set for December 27th.
