Can't search in Notes

 

I upgraded my 2017 Air from Catalina to Monterey, and have Notes 4.9 (c. 2011-2021). Suddenly I can't search across all the notes. Ideas (other than switch to OneNote)?

Thanks,
Barbara

Well, that’s interesting, Otto. Tell me if you would, are there advantages to doing it the way you are doing it vice the way I have mine set up?

The router I purchased from Verizon is an Actiontec M1424WR Rev I GigE

If there are advantages, do you have the time to explain how to do that???
The advantage, as I see it, is that all your LAN management is done in the one device, so you don’t have to go into one for managing, say ethernet, and the other for wi-fi. Where do you manage port forwarding, if any, for example? Also, the device from your ISP might have only 100 Mb ports; the one you buy will probably have Gigabit.

I’ve done some basic searches and I can’t find any reference to modem-only for your Actiontec, so I don’t know if it’s possible. Our ISP, Virgin Media, supplies “Super Hubs” made by Arris, previously by Netgear; these have always had the option to enable modem-only.

There’s another way of doing this, depending on what short of device the ISP gives you. You might be able to switch that to “modem-only”, connect to your other router using ethernet, and use that as router, switch, and wi-fi access point. All your local network is still controlled by one device, just not the one from the ISP. That’s what we do, with a Synology RT2600AC as it happens.

Easy-peasy…once you sort it all out, which took me a while to do.

Connect the original router to the new router by an Ethernet cable from a LAN port in the first router to a WAN port in the second then access the first one and turn off the WiFi.

The routing table is still done via the first router. ?

Ellen, you had this same issue several weeks ago.

I have been doing that since WiFi has been available. Just never remember calling it that. I have always either turned off the WiFi capability or ignore it in any modem or gateway device other than an Apple Airport, since I line in an 800 sq ft apartment. But I like to keep some what up to date, as it is getting long in the….?

Re: loading background pictures

 

I only ever _send_ e-mail as plain text. I don't think HTML belongs in e-mail in the first place, but that is a separate discussion.

We have no control over what other people send, but if they send HTML, I get a plain text part _and_ an HTML part. The infamous "web beacons" cannot function in plain text, but they can in HTML which is why it is a good idea to generally disable remote content.

For any of you who use RSS readers - I use and strongly prefer the free NetNewsWire app - here is a great link to the?Top 60 Mac RSS Feeds.

If you click on the bright orange [+Follow RSS] link, it will open the link in Feedly (which I tried and did not like).

I was able to poke around and get an RSS link to cut and past into NNW app instead.

Are Howard, Jim and Bob speaking of macOS? Does the latest call it System Settings instead of System Preferences??

I only have an old macOS and current iOS to look at.?

In iOS 16.6, all those are in Settings (System and 3rd party apps included). There all there with no demarkation other then how they are organized.?

Is Howard British? I just noticed his spelling of authorisation.?

Re: iOS Private address Query

 

I too established specific IP addresses for my computer, iPad, iPhone and ?watch. Never saw a need to use a private Wi-Fi address since they rarely leave the house, so am quite certain I never enabled it. One day my Fing box noticed a new iPhone on my network and found somehow private Wi-Fi address was enabled on my iPhone.

I meant to reply to this thread, Jeff, but forgot. ?

Like you I have Verizon FiOS and a router I purchased from Verizon.

The Verizon WiFi signal was quite week three floors down where we have our TV so I bought this router which got great reviews for the strength of it’s WiFi signal and was, at that time, top rated by the Wirecutter.com


Here was the way I set it up, as a Wireless Access Point [visuals are from the Synology router page]

Screenshot 2023-07-29 at 12.00.46.jpg

Screenshot 2023-07-29 at 12.00.41.jpg

Multiple Mac computers, iPhones, an iPad, and an Apple Watch all connect just fine on either the 2.4 or 5 network.
