    What to use in 2017?

    This NAS forum, which I haven't read yet, is kinda old. So this is hoping to find out what's new out there that I may find useful. Today at Costco I saw a 5TB Seagate backup plus 'hub'. Reading a bit about this device, it is formatted NTFS (ie: Windows) but contains a MAC ntfs driver...

    So I found discussion here about no health app on iPad. Reasons seem logical enough. So I am supposed to take my iPhone in to physician and say here....this is my data. Hope you can see it on this tiny little screen.... Is there a way to move data from iPhone health app to iPad so I can...

    Notes not syncing.

    Fixed... ===== What I left out of my original post is that this problem apparently started after the most recent iOS update. ===== In Settings->iCloud I toggled off Notes. That removed all iCloud notes from my iPad. I then restarted the iPad. I reversed my prior steps, was presented with an...

    Suggestion needed for evernote alternative?

    Notepad is ok but it only syncs across Apple devices. I started using Evernote because I wanted to access notes on other platforms. I usually do this via their website if not using iOS. Evernote is about to change their policy on free access, charging for access of more than 2 devices. I...

    Problem w/ safari viewing pages at apple

    I found a 'customize settings' section, it's not a white list. I also found that in addition to blocking discussion.apple.com, it blocks this site too! So there is probably a bigger issue than white listing can handle. I also discovered that my iPhone 6, which has same iOS, works fine with...

    Problem w/ safari viewing pages at apple

    Answering my own question. Recently I added a Content Blocker to Safari. Disabling the blocker, Umbra, fixes my problem. Now I have to figure out if I can do something about Umbra.

    Problem w/ safari viewing pages at apple

    iPad pro, latest iOS updated, using home wifi and linking to discussions.apple.com from Safari search I get only the title and 'more like this' links. I don't get the discussion content. This is true for a variety of different discussions. Alternatively, using a linux desktop running firefox...

    I message

    Replying to an old msg. On my wifi only iPad2 I have been messaging my son's android phone for years. In view of the above quote, why did that work? I'm asking because today I traded in my iPad2 for a wifi only Pro. They did the iPad restore in the Apple store. Messaging works to other...
