I use my iPad as a second screen when traveling. Now that I think about it, I haven’t even taken my laptop on the last few trips, just my iPad.

I have several unused HDMI cables but I will look into the audio quest chocolate cables. Thanks John.

Harry,
Beth may have found your answer but I want to tell you my experience. When we built our home I had purchased Monster HDMI cables thinking they were great. The quality of the video wasn’t that good so I purchased AudioQuest Chocolate & boy are they great, I now only use that brand for any HMDI needs, TV’s & Computer.

Thanks Beth. These two reasons speak volumes to me:
4. Cable Quality: Lower-quality cables may not meet the necessary specifications for
high-bandwidth signals. Over time, they may degrade and fail to transmit signals
correctly.
The cable I took out was thinner and more flexible than the one I replaced it with.
8. Age: Over time, materials used in the cable can degrade, leading to failure.
The bad cable has been in use for years.
The cable I took out was thinner and more flexible than the one I replaced it with.

In the latest Apple Watch OS the nerds at Apple have decided something was missing in the Timers App. They have included 13 preset timers (AKA Pinned Timers) that cannot be removed. And those Pinned timers appear at the top of any timers I have set up on my own so if I want to use one of my timers I have to scroll all the way past Apples Pinned Timers to get to the timers I set up to use with my workouts.
So I have gone to “apple.com/feedbac <>” and registered my complaint with Apple, though, unless a gazillion Apple Watch Users make the same complaint, Apple probably won’t fix the issue.
What pain in the patootie Apple!

Thank you bunches Harry, it’s my hope you also have a marvelous New Year

Re: Missing Photos in iCloud
So three days later they finally appeared. I had charged/synced my phone every day since the photos were taken and they didn’t show up until Saturday. The only common denominator was that they were taken with the timer and that they included bursts.
Weird.

Re: Missing Photos in iCloud
Beth, I’ve used the Watch to take family photos for years, never had a problem as you describe. ?All photos sync. ?I hope you find the issue?

I used my iPhone to take family photos on Christmas. The first few were taken using the timer function on my Apple Watch with the phone on a tripod so I could be in the pictures too. The rest were taken as normal with the phone. All the photos appear on my phone, but I wanted to see them on a larger screen so was using my iPad and noticed the pictures using the timer function are missing on my iPad. I figured that was just a synching issue there, so I went into my iCloud account using the browser on my desktop computer and they aren't there either. They only appear on my phone. All the other photos I took before and after those are there. Thought it was odd that only the photos using the timer function are missing. Anyone have any idea why?

Thanks!

I use ApplePay several times a day, if a site doesn't offer ApplePay I use the Virtual card number associated with my Apple Cash card.? This past week my wife wanted to try some gummy's to help neuropathy but from walking through the process I felt something wasn't right.? When I got ready to pay & this time used the Apple Virtual number I was immediately told it was a fraudulent site, a scam & not only did the payment not go through the site was immediately deleted from my device. ? Try to use this on sites that don't offer ApplePay & see if Apple protects you as it did me.? Also I'm not leaving my card info at numerous sites that can be hacked. ? John.?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply. My Mac is got an M1 chip. I used to use Wonderlist which was better than reminders but Microsoft bought Wonderlist, killed it and tried to get me to use their product (I don’t remember the name). I tried it but didn’t care for it so went to Reminders, which works fine for me.
I’m not going to upgrade from Sonoma to OS 15 till I have to or until Mac separates Reminders from Calendar. I don’t need or want that grief.

I see what you mean with the reminders. I've never used them for anything with a date (I use OmniFocus for things like that), but I can imagine it's really annoying to see things little chores show up in the calendar (which typically gets used for appointments and blocking dates), what with the limited space to display a day's activities.
I'm never quite sure why software companies make big sweeping on/off changes without any preferences to shut them off. Of course, Apple has alway had in it's mind what is right for the user, even if it runs into their increasingly ignored interface guidlines.
While griping, lemme tell you why I don't use reminders more ... I started finding them useful once there were sublists. BUT ... while sublists work on my iPhone, they don't work in Ventura, which is the last macOS I can use (still on Intel). Whatever.
One good point with iOS 18: the app preferences are much less of a mess. I'm glad that Apple decided putting all apps in alphabetical order could be useful.

I recently upgraded my phone to iOS 18.1.1.
I also am a heavy user of Reminders.
One of the "non-improvements” apple added to this latest iOS is that reminders show up in the calendar. It is annoying as as annoying can be.
I called Apple and they said there is no way to turn that feature off. However the person I talked to created a ticket. Right now it is at level 3 and as people call in to complain about the issue they add those complaints to the ticket. As they add complainants to the ticket it will increase the ticket to level 2 and eventually (if enough people complain) it will reach level 1. If that happens the complaint goes to the engineers who hopefully will provide a fix.
So I am asking all my friends who have iOS 18 to call apple and complain. (Call even if you don’t use reminders). If you do use reminders and like that the reminders show up in calendar then follow your heart.
If you do call then you will have my undying gratitude. Also please pass this on to all your Apple iPhone user friends and aquaintances.
Here is the number to call: 1 (800) 692-7753
Thanks to all of you who do this.
Harry
