Yo gots an iPhone now - more or less have everything adapted after a few hours coming from Android, but one thing I can't find a good google (lol lmao) suggestion for:

There a way to set alarms + indicate a blackout/pause period? Say I have a regular Mon/Tues thing, but want to say "hey from January 1st to 4th gently caress off" and neither would play. About the only thing I'm not able to 1:1 more or less. OK with using an App if that's a better answer, because as is the alarm/health thing seems janky at best.

I use this same pack and cable all the time and it works perfectly. If it were trying to charge the pack, I don't the pack wouldn't go from full to empty. The phone was seemingly drawing full power but not banking any of it and just converting it straight to heat for hours.
The phone and battery were probably sending charge back and forth. I had the same issue when I got my 15 Pro with an Anker Powercore Slim that uses USB-C to both charge and discharge.

The solution I found, like the other poster who replied, was to use a USB-A to USB-C cable I had lying around. It does charge very slightly slower (15W vs 18W I think) but it’s fine.

If you have a holiday set in your calendar Siri Suggestions should ask if you want to disable your alarm during that period but for doing it manually I usually just have to turn the alarm off and remember to turn it back on.

Also once the alarm is active (what the phone is in bed mode), you can long press it on the Lock Screen to disable it only for the next day.

Yeah using the Shortcuts thing seemed like the best result but that's some premium rear end jank and more steps than it needs to be. Sigh. Probably my best solution is using calendars tho, I guess functionally the same but a little more reliant on me being remotely capable of remembering to do anything. Thanks y'all.

Other Q: Theoretically I should have the option of adding my local media (music) files through iTunes to upload to my phone. I'm on Windows. This doesn't work. Online guides suggest some options (iPhone -> Music -> Checkbox there to Synic Music (isn't there), or, Summary/Options - Has a "Sync only checked songs and videos" but it's greyed out). Syncing doesn't actually do anything. All my stuff is "in" my library and appropriately points back to it's home folder (separate drive). Click sync and... Nothing has shown up. What gives?

I know there's apparently also an option to manually upload to iCloud/Dropbox or whatever and then pull the files from there into the phone but I'd rather just sort through this means. I did it like 15 years ago with an iPod no problem, but maybe my feeble brain has atrophied.
it was some iCloud bullshit i mad

e: this is some truly obnoxious bullshit - i can turn off icloud syncing to do as i please but then it fails to recognize my phone at all. gently caress off.

Rather than trying to upload mp3 files directly to your phone, your best bet is to add those local songs to a playlist in Apple Music or Spotify of whatever your streaming app of choice is, on your pc. Download them as an offline playlist and they should work.

Avoid using iTunes for windows if you can.

Very dumb question here, but has anyone made good use of Smart Reminder Lists? I have about 6 different lists in reminders (General reminders, shopping, work, etc.) to keep different to-do lists separate and I'm not sure what the benefit is to having smart lists, since I'm not sure how many reminders would really cross over across multiple lists? I'm sure it's useful though so I'm curious how other people use it to see if there's any other way I ought to be organising my stuff.

I previously used one that shows me all high priority reminders from specific lists scheduled over the next seven days but that was when I was dealing with a lot of scheduled tasks I needed to keep track of and couldn't just use the "Scheduled" smart list that's built in.

Most of my lists are smart lists with smart tags for...

#personal
#work
#things-borrowed
#invoices (I split internet service family memberships with friends)
#shopping
#home-diy
#bills
#vacation
#costco

I rely heavily on "Today", "Scheduled", and "All" to consolidate these all into one master list so I can get more of a overarching chronological idea of what's on my plate, and if I want to dive deeper into specific categories, I can use a smart list. These tags let me easily filter across all my lists at once and categorize things a little better without having to jump into each list to look at things. You can even setup a smart list with multiple smart tags, so maybe you want one list for invoices and bills since they're similar but not quite the same.

I also really like that Fantastical, a third party calendar app, integrates scheduled reminders and displays them in a calendar view and on their widgets so I can easily check them off when I'm looking at my agenda for the day. Apple should really add this to the calendar app, along with colored dots for specific calendars:



Smart tagging is huge across most of Apple's apps - It's great in Reminders, where you can add smart tags within notes and easily sort and filter them and create folders for specific collections of tags.

It bums me out that haven't added smart filtering/sorting to the iOS version of Photos, Mail (although I use Spark on mobile), and Apple Music - their macOS apps have them. I want to be able to create a smart photo album that identifies specific people or animals and sorts all of them, or a smart playlist that pulls in specific artist's DJ sets all into one big playlist.

Hmm, that seems to be more or less how I use it with mostly using the Today view, but with smart tags rather than individual fixed lists for each category. With your workflow do all your reminders just get added the default "Reminders" list and then the smart lists do all the actual separation with those tags? That seems to be the most natural way to use smart lists, but I suppose I'm struggling to see how it's functionally different from using separate lists other than it being quicker to create a "new" list by just typing a new #tag when making a new reminder. Although I'm also maybe just an old gently caress who is too used to file structure folders and subfolders to think about things any other way! :)

That feature in Fantastical looks great though and it's really something Apple should steal be inspired by.

That's exactly why I use tags - the smart lists do all the updating automatically and can add the same item to multiple smart lists if I need a reminder to be able displayed on two lists at once in real-time.

You're completely right - smart tags/lists goes against the hierarchical folder organization structure that we're all so accustomed to, but it does offer more flexibility with automatic sorting and filtering.

I'm not sure if this question specifically belongs here since the iPhone is only part of the equation but here goes: I have an iPhone 15 Pro running 17.2.1 and a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt. I use CarPlay in the Bolt every time I drive and generally it works as intended (until the 17.2.1 update there was a problem with wireless charging in the Bolt but that has been fixed), but lately when I play music through the Music app via CarPlay once in a while a song will suddenly start rewinding playing backwards at I'm guessing 4x speed until it hits the start of the song and then starts playing as normal until it randomly does this again. I will skip to another song and the same action will inevitably happen. Sometimes I can select a different album to play and this will fix it, but sometimes not.

Has anyone else run into this bizarre behavior before?

I have this exact combination of phone and car, but rarely use the music app. In general wireless CarPlay works perfectly, but I wonder if your issue could have something to do with downloaded vs streaming tracks. Have you noticed if that makes a difference?

Can I turn off “FaceTime voicemail” on ios17?

FaceTime Audio used to be a great way to call my wife hands-free, like on a bike ride. If she didn’t answer, it would just “bonk” and my music would resume.

Now I have to fumble to hang up before the voicemail beep like on a regular call. Voicemail is for old people

I got in my car today and for some reason my CarPlay was flipped backwards. I mean not like the screen contents were mirrored, but the navbar was on the right, all the elements which are traditionally on the right were on the left, etc.

I pulled into a parking lot and pulled up my phone to see if this was some iOS update change but I didn't see anything in CarPlay settings about display ... direction? Was fairly annoyed for the remainder of my drive and promptly forgot about it.

Then got in my car to ride home an hour later and it was back to normal.

Anyone else have this experience? :raise:
