I think I've found a bit of a problem with third party keyboards. It seems that they (or at least SwiftKey...) can't access keyboard shortcuts as set up in Settings. I have a lot of shortcuts set up and it's a bit of a pain to switch keyboards for them, especially since you can't hold the little world icon to bring up the full list of all your keyboards.

Yeah, Apple doesn't allow third party access to keyboard shortcuts.

I bought a $10 cable with a car charger from the gas station a few months ago and it's still running strong and I haven't engulfed in flames yet. If the cables are officially certified like the Amazon and MonoPrice ones then they're good, but uncertified cables can explode and burn your house down yes.

I think the issue was more that they stopped working. But it's been two years now since Lightning came out, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese manufacturers have figured out how to clone the chips properly. Now, random Chinese power supplies I wouldn't touch. Those really will burn your house down.

Then she asked to see information. I'm sure it was just her wanted to follow some policy that wont be necessary anymore. It just made my first time using it unnecessarily awkward.

I've found a swipe keyboard with emoji support called TouchPal. Can anyone vouch for it being safe enough to use as my main keyboard and that they won't be scraping passwords and poo poo if I enable full access?

I'm back on iOS after about two years on Android. I'm digging it so far, but have two questions: 1) Is there a quicker way to get to the WiFi networks and/or Bluetooth connection screens? This is probably less of a problem once I've paired with all my Bluetooth crap and made initial connections to my usual WiFi networks. 2) Is there a way to cancel an alarm after I snooze it?

You could tell Siri to open wifi or Bluetooth settings as needed. I think the answer is no. 2) yeah, go to the clock app from control panel and turn off the snoozed alarm. Or tell Siri to turn off your alarm.

When my 6+ gets here I want to set it up as a new phone and have a clean slate, rather than restoring from my cluttered 4's backup. That way I can use it for a while and figure out what apps I truly need, as I need them, instead of sorting through a dozen folders and thinking "Well I might use/play that some day..." There are some apps with saved data I know I will want to carry over. ifunbox doesn't look to support the new phones/os yet, so how can I move select saved app data to the new phone? Is it possible?

The jailbreak software DataDeposit has spoiled me for this. See if you can install them on another device signed into your iCloud first and if they sync your saves then use the second device as a backup. Maybe do this in an evening watching TWD with an iPhone bro or something?

What if I backup my 4, plug in my 6, and install the apps via iTunes? Would they bring over the stored saved data that way even if I'm not restoring from a backup? It's totally asinine that there's no easy way to just copy saved data. Eh, I'll figure out on Thursday. Maybe I will have to restore from my 4 and then spend the night pruning the gently caress out of it.

You could delete all of the apps aside from the ones you want to carry over, make an iCloud backup of that, and then restore to that backup when you get your 6+.

I'm having an issue with iCloud backup. When I go into iCloud, it says I have 6.0gb available, out of 20gb. If I go into Manage Storage, it lists my backup for my phone as 13.9gb. I don't have any other devices backing up on that account right now. If I click on the iPhone, it lists my next backup as needing 23.6gb, and the highest data using app is my Photo Library, listed at 19.3gb. That seemed really weird, so I went to check in General > Usage > Storage, and my Photos & Camera app is listed as only 10.8gb. Any idea on what could be causing the 10gb difference?

So my boss's car got broken into, and they took his Mac laptop and his backup HD. He still has his phone, and with that, his iPhoto library in a way I imagine. Is there a way to pull the library from his phone and put it on his iMac? This is the thing he's the most worried about losing.

Third party keyboards shouldn't even come up when you're typing passwords. If it's any sort of secure field like a password or a credit card number, you should get the Apple keyboard automatically.

You could also just use something like ifunbox to back up the data for apps you want backed up, get new phone, download apps, import data.

I've been trying to change the "Year" field for an album in my iTunes library, and the changes absolutely refuse to sync across to the Music app on my phone. I've tried deleting the album from my phone and resyncing it, deleting it from my iTunes library, re-adding it, and resyncing it, toggling music sync for my phone and then resyncing my entire library. The correct year is listed for the album in iTunes, in Finder's "Get Info" window for the individual mp3s, and in CanOpener on my phone, but the original incorrect year is still displayed in the Music app. I can only assume that there's some cache of metadata maintained by the Music app that isn't being updated as it should, but I don't have any idea how to access or clear it. Any suggestions?

So my boyfriend has an upgrade available. We both use AT&T but we are on different plans. Would it be possible for him to buy a new phone, and for us to then swap sim cards or something so that I have his newest phone with all my data and he has my current phone? What's the procedure? Might be a good time to look into non-two year contracts, too, but I'm not sure what I'd even be looking for there.

If you want all your data from your current phone you'll have to restore from a backup while setting it up but yeah if you just swap the sims then it'll be like you just switched phones.

I just cracked my month-old 6 today because it slipped out of my hand when I got out of my car. Fortunately Amex will pay for the screen replacement costs since it's within a 90 day window, but this is the first time I've broken a phone screen and I've had iPhones since the original. Guess I really am gonna have to go with a case now. These things are just too slippery and even if you're babying it the thing'll fall before you know it.

Is there a way to pull the library from his phone and put it on his iMac? This is the thing he's the most worried about losing. The iPhone follows DCIM rules and appears like any other digital camera when attached to a computer and unlocked. iPhoto or Image Capture (or whatever else he may have made default on his iMac) should pop up and immediately offer to suck down his photos and videos. If it doesn't, you just need to launch it yourself and then you can go hog wild. Edit: Or maybe that won't work. iOS and iTunes/iPhoto have varied in the way iPhoto albums synced back to the device are exposed. Eh, give it a shot. At least anything he shot with the phone should be easily recoverable. Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Oct 29, 2014 |

So this is interesting...NY Times posted:Apple Pay Runs Afoul of MCX, a Group With a Rival Product I have used Softcard (Android Apple Pay) at CVS before, I use it all the time at the Walgreens by my house. Given CVSs business model has been to open up as closely to Walgreens as possible I have a brand new CVS opening in a few weeks a block down, the last two times I have been to Walgreens the question has changed from "Oh, is that Apple Pay?" to "Wow, everyone is paying with their phones now, do you like it?" This is going to cost CVS a lot of money in urban areas, I wonder how long they can keep it up.
