Seeking recommended 27" monitor
Hello
What are your best suggestions for a 27 inch monitor for my new Mac mini ?
Best affordable resolution, of course.
Apple monotors are nice, but financially out of reach … what are the best alternatives?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Re: another iPad question- music in the background
There are usually settings (certainly in Firefox) in web browsers to stop autoplay of audio on websites-

How about audio from a website being played by a browser, as described in

Audio does not seem to have a standard. ?
I listen to audiobooks with Libby. It is an app to borrow books, similar to borrowing thru a library.?
It will often play, even when actively using another app to do other things like Mail.app, many items on Facebook, Messages.app, or games. Games and their ads seem to give the widest range of results. Some allow the audiobook to play, some if the ad is short, some allow two audio track to play and some mess up all audio.?
This is on an iPhone Xr, running 16.5.1. I am sure it varies by device and OS. I have found no settings to alter this.

Re: Off the Subject ... an iPad Question
Everything overlaps. Just look at, for example, networking a Mac computer with any other computer, not to mention connecting all sorts of mobile phones and tablets to a Mac via USB or even wifi.

You won’t see an extension listed with the name “Geneio”. The bad guys don’t want to make it that easy for you to delete it. As per my instructions, delete any extensions that you aren’t 100% sure that you purposely installed. If you aren’t 100% sure that you installed a particular extension on purpose, delete it. I did delete a lot of unrecognized cookies I didn’t suggest that you delete any cookies. It’s fine if you did, but it probably didn’t/won't help anything. I suggested that you delete unrecognized “extensions” and “Web site data”. __________________________________________________ Randy B.

Re: Off the Subject ... an iPad Question
The IO, or internet only, as opposed to face to face, when we still used dial-up modems and bulletin boards.
MUG, or Macintosh User Group, from when Mac was their only product. It has since expanded to Apple devices.

Re: Off the Subject ... an iPad Question
My thanks to all who've responded. As it happens, when I asked I was thinking of buying the new iPad at a Best Buy five minutes from our house. And I don't know that they'd do a t; so I was figuring I'd do it myself at home. But my wife prefers we buy it at the Apple Store which is about forty minutes away--the iPad is really for her--so she can ask any questions and such that occur to her. So I'll have them handle it. The way I understand it is they'll get it started for me, I'l hang there while it completes the switch. Steve
Certainly. When setting up the new iPad, you’ll have the option to transfer data directly from another iPad or from a backup on a computer or in iCloud.
Sorry for going off-topic, but does anyone know whether one can migrate everything on one iPad to a new iPad?

Re: Off the Subject ... an iPad Question
Have you tried backing up to your iCloud account, then syncing the new device??
You nay have to buy additional storage storage for one month.?

physically place the iPads next to each other (and away from all other iOS devices) and the iPads 'should' sense each other automatically. At that point you confirm that you want to clone from the old iPad to the new iPad.

Steve,
If the old iPad isn't outdated, normally all you'll need to do is plug both iPads into their charger just to make sure you don't run low on power, physically place the iPads next to each other (and away from all other iOS devices) and the iPads 'should' sense each other automatically. At that point you confirm that you want to clone from the old iPad to the new iPad.?
Assuming that works, funny thing, don't forget to immediately go to the new iPad, General/About and give the new iPad a 'new' name, as I believe it literally clones everything. 'including' the name of the old iPad to the new iPad. You don't want both devices with the same name.
For more info on this just Google, but this method should be the fastest, I believe, rather than up and?downloading from the cloud.? That being said, it still make take a little time depending on how much storage is involved.?
All the best, John?

Thanks of the info. I have no idea what intego is but I’ll take your word for it.
Randy’s answer about going to safari preferences was good. I did not see the so called Geneio virus listed but I did delete a lot of unrecognized cookies. there were many and some I did not want to delet and have to find the passwords again. I am so tired of passwords, but that is besides the point. I write themem down and then for some unknown reason some may stop working.
I am still having a lot of email problems. don’t know why but am tired of all of it as well. I am under a bit of stress lately and the technology is not helping. ?whether this email gets out, hard to say.
Ellen
Almost certainly VirusBarrier is seeing something in an XProtect signature file that matches a VB uses. Intego should correct the situation with an update shortly, so ignore it for now.
