iPhone 11 not recognized

My iPhone 11 is frozen. The screen will not swipe. Even after hard resets. I had my Timer on before this happened and the damn ringer goes off every 10 minutes. I can't shut that off. I had to put it under a blanket to shut it up! lol
I tried a RECOVERY process, but that did not do anything. There is a RESTORE option, but I hesitate to try that not knowing what I might lose - contacts, texts, calendar appointments, etc. I think my photos and emails should be safe, right?

The issue now is...

Downgrade Catalina to Mojave

Before downgrading from Catalina I have to download Mojave. I have followed special links from various web sites that got me to Mojave in the apple store. At this point I understand that I should be able to download Mojave. However, the app is set for an upgrade and dose not show a download button. Does anyone know how I can download Mojave?

Time Capsule and Monterey/M1Max issue - I'm fed up!

Since I got my M1Max MBP 14", it hasn't properly sync'd with my 3TB time capsule. My other computers, no problem.

I thought the issue was that I was on wifi, and I have about 700GB of data on the computer. So I hardwired, and no, still not able to complete a backup. The TC has over 1.5TB free on it.

I hardwired directly to the TC. I hardwired directly to my router. Neither affected it.

I tried having wifi and hardwire at the same time. No dice.

I thought the issue was with...

Delete iOS Files and iOS Installer?

As long as I have backed up my iPhone today, can I delete these files off my MBP since they're eating up 17.77gb + 5.87gb?

MS Office 2011 no more?

I installed this on my 2016 MBP in 2014 but now I'm using macOS Monterrey 12.0.1 and it seems I can't use it and must now go to the App Store and subscribe to MS Office monthly or annually.

Before I toss my CD for MS Office 2011 and subscribe to MS Office, is there any workaround to still use it?

Looking for external hard drive recommendations

Hi, I need to replace a 6Tb LaCie external drive I use for Time Machine backups. I've been told that Seagate and Western Digital drives are risky and that LaCie drives are also not reliable, even though they seem to be almost the only drives available in Canada. Glyph Studio and Oyen Digital Avastor HDX Pro have been recommended but they don't seem to be easily available north of the border.

Has anyone found a Canadian source for Glyph and Oyen drives?
I'm in Toronto.
Cheers
Madeline

question re disk reformatting

I have an old G4 that I will be putting up for sale soon but I want to be sure any data of mine is cleared off of it. I believe that I can go into Disk Utility and do ....I think it's "erase" to reformat it. I have two questions about this:

first, is it the erase function I want to use and
second, if I use it and the disk is reformatted, will the OS still work? I think all the applications that are loaded onto the machine will be removed but don't know if also the OS will be. I don't...

Issue with activation Lock

My father-in-law has had issue with his iPad that wouldn’t accept any passcodes. He tried erasing and restoring it through iTunes, but, in the process, can’t get past the “Activation Lock.” I suggested he log into iCloud.com and erase and remove the device. It didn’t seem to appear as a device.

Any suggestions from this point would be much appreciated.

My Airport Extreme is finally going - suggetions for a replacement router?

It was just going along for so long and doing exactly what I needed it to do that there wasn't really any reason to replace it. But I'm really tired of the recurring 'this unit may be overheating' error message (yes, I've done run through the tips and the options never seem to stick for too long).

I live in Vancouver. In an apartment. Alone. And I'm never ever going to afford anything bigger so 'range' isn't really a problem (and I have a little Netgear wifi extender that works fine to get...

could not activate cellular data network

I just bought an iphone 3gs on ebay and can make calls through my carrier but can't get a data connection through it. It gives me the "could not activate cellular data network, you are not subscribed to a data service". My service provider, Sasktel says I have a data plan connected to this phone. They told me to contact apple for support. The phone was on ATT before and I unlocked it myself. I have reset the network, rebooted, entered the cellular data network info myself, used the...

Blue light screen protector

Just before the pandemic, I purchased one of these for the wife's MBA on a trip to the US. Could not find anybody here to install it. All the Mac shops said bubbles or dust ruined the sheet. Cannot be replaced here, not available for sale.

I may have found one shop, an Apple Authorised retailer. Anybody have any hints on success with this?

2008 mac pro question

I recently bought a 2008 mac pro that was advertised as a quad core 2.8 and I got a really sweet deal on it. I took it for what he said and started using it. I recently went into system report and about this mac (don't know why I missed this) and see 2x 2.8 quad core and under hardware overview I see 8 cores. I am assuming now I have the 8 core and not the advertised quad core? Sorry if I sound stupid here but can someone confirm this?
Also when he sold this he advertised 32g ram, I just...
