MacBook Pro 13”. 2019

Am I expecting too much?

I like to have an external keyboard,a mouse and a hard drive back up on my Macbook. I also need a printer and or scanner on occasion.

Right now I have bluetooth keyboard and mouse and a wireless printer. I am also wireless for the internet. The scanner is plugged in and one hard drive is plugged in to the computer.

We tried to hook up an additional hard drive that I save documents to on occasion..
That would not work - could not be seen on the computer. Also my mousE and keyboard started acting up - or not working as the case may be.

It’s the second hard drive that is confusing us - we have a Macbook Air that it works on.

How do we fix this?

Thank you for all your help

Apple moving to ARM processors

So it looks like Apple will be jumping ship from Intel to their own processors again. I have not watched the event yet so maybe it was answered there, but will we be looking at a similar transition like the PPC to Intel? Any other issues to expect? I did read it should allow for iOS apps to work on a Mac... not sure I need that. I am not planning on upgrading anytime soon, my 5K iMac is still running strong thankfully. The way Apple has been going this just might be my last Mac. The few apps that keep me in High Sierra (will upgrade to Mojave soon) and away from El Capitan will mean finding new solutions anyways. Adobe is already cross platform with my subscription so changing over would not be all that expensive as I will be stuck finding a few small replacements for apps I have.

"He won a British Academy Film Award and gained a supporting-actor Oscar nomination for portraying pioneering athletics coach Sam Mussabini in the hit 1982 film Chariots of Fire." Loved him in this role as well.


Loved his role of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Antifa Experiences The Midwest

Quote:

Some town in Western N.Dakota I think. Got wind Antifa and worse were going to cause trouble. A whole bunch of locals, veterans, and bikers, coordinating with the police, did full load out kit (rifles, pistols, body armour, etc.) This included night vision gear, drones, and guys posted to rooftops. Some plain clothes in cafes and such gathering Intel & photos. Whenever an Antifa cell would case a place and get ready to hit it, the militia guys would come out of the shadows to talk… and Antifa would run off. In one case 2 Antifa with “rifles” were suddenly looking at 2 militia guys (more in the shadows with IR)… turns out their rifles were airsoft guns. Those LARPer Antifa were very lucky the locals were very experienced at gun identification ’cause the locals had the real deal.

Apple Educational Back to School program starts, includes free AirPods

Not sure who is technically going back to school yet, but.. Apple's popular summer free headset this year includes AirPods, with the potential upgrade to AirPods Pro.

MacRumors has this starting today. Usually the offer proceeds through September.

Don't forget there is also the reduced educational pricing, though that isn't what it used to be.

This would be the first time the 'free' product is AirPods.

Soaked iPhone XR

I kayak at least once a week and yesterday while beautiful turned out to be a little disastrous. I had a crack in the bottom of my kayak that I had patched on the weekend. Turns out there is a another one that I missed which led to the back of my kayak getting a lot of water. I did not sink thankfully but the supposed dry box area in the kayak came out and my phone and keys were floating around in the back. I am not sure how long the phone was in the water, not sure if it came out when I lifted the kayak up to drain all the water or if it had come out earlier in the voyage. I am assuming it came out at the end so did not spend a whole lot of time submerged, but just an assumption.

Anyways long story short the phone was off when I pulled it out, I have not attempted to turn it on and put it in a container of rice immediately when I got home. I know the iPhone is supposed to be water resistant to a point and would have thought it should have been safe here as there was no way it was under a meter of water for an our. Is there some sort of fail safe where the phone turns itself off when detecting water in a situation like this? Not sure how long I should leave my phone in the rice and the temptation is to try it out. It is my only phone so I obviously want to have it up and running soon.

File sharing problem

G'day,
I have a 2012 Mac Mini running High Sierra and a 2007 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. When I want to share files I click on the Mac Pro icon in the sidebar. The Mac Pro Public Folder, Home Folder, Hard Drive and connected drives all show up in the window. Is this normal or are there some settings to be tweaked?
Cheers.

a way for iTunes to save where you were listening?

I have been listening to lectures lately while at work when doing some mundane tasks. I had made the mistake a few times of quitting iTunes rather then just minimizing it and keeping it open. Doing this loses my place in the lecture. Is there a way for iTunes to remember my place much like Audible?

Retrieving email from iPad

Hi all,

New member here! Found the forum through a web search and I feel like I'm in the correct place.

I have an iPad related question. My Mother recently passed away and I want to save all the email on her iPad to a backup drive. Her account is no longer active so the email only exists on the iPad.

How would I go about retrieving and saving these? I know how to do it on my desktop but haven't a clue with the iPad.

Specs:
iPad 7th Generation
iOS 13.3.1

Thanks in advance!

Mac Mail

HI,
Recently we received photos in line in mail (Yosemite) and they don't show up. They do show up in my MBP running Sierra and in Thunderbird mail. Rebooting did not help. We had our friend resend them and that didn't work either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sonny

MBPro language keeps changing

I have my laptop set to Canadian English, but every now and then I see it has changed to U.S. I suspect it occurs when I wake it after it goes into energy saving mode during inactivity. Anyone else encounter this? I run Mojave on all my laptops and the same happens with all of them.

Thanks,
Thom

Will OCR help with this?

Seeking some technical guidance regarding a book my 94 year old Mum-in-law is writing.


The issues are numerous . I’ll do my best to sum up what I’m up against.


The book has been written entirely as a PDF**using MS “Wordpad”.


The process to spell check the PDF’s and make other corrections is remarkably painful to the point I offered some assistance only to discover what I thought may be a somewhat*easy fix is anything but…


I’ve used google docs to convert the pdf’s to Libreoffice ,odt which allows spell checking BUT all ‘images’ do not carry over. This means all images would have to be imported and inserted back in the appropriate spots.**This would be a more daunting process that I am willing to undertake. Why? You might ask….


Well the book is now up to approximate 500 pages with more to come and on those 500 pages there are more than SEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE images!!! With more to come.


I’m aware of the limitations PDF’s present but Wordpad is the only app mum feels comfortable with and at this point 500 pages in… what do you do?


I’m wondering if an OCR program of some description can be employed to convert the complete document with all images/photo’s in tact in place.

Hopefully I’ve explained my dilemma. Thanks for what comes back.
