More businesses kissing the ring. The emperor has no clothes!

Yeah, we all know they should have renamed it "Gulf of Apple” in honor of the most valuable company in the world.

Re: Wacko GPS

 

Lee thanks.
When my wife read your reply she chuckled and said “It knows where they are on the moon but had no idea where we were!”

Is there anybody to whom the malfunction can be reported?

My first guess would be someone interfering with the GPS radio frequencies in that area. Maybe an out of band defective transmitter? Russia is doing this purposely in Eastern Europe, causing airliners to go astray. Ukraine is doing it over their own territory to confuse Russian drones.

For location services a GPS system needs to simultaneously see at least three of the system satellites. There are normally at least 24 satellites in the whole system. It can use them to triangulate its position in 3-D space. I was amazed to see a couple of weeks ago that the Blue Ghost lunar lander was able to use the earth-orbiting GPS satellites to figure out where it is on the moon.

Wacko GPS

 

What I am about to report to you happened once before.

Yesterday my wife and I were driving east on the Watterson XWay about 1:50 p.m. We had WAZE running on her phone and connected to Apple Car Play. Around Taylorsville Rd. WAZE no longer knew where we were - it kept thinking we were off the highway and kept trying to route us back on. I had cruise control on. When cruise control is engaged and you go from one speed zone to a lesser speed zone the car automatically slows down. When WAZE thought we were off the highway the car began breaking. I turned off the cruise control to keep the car from breaking. Once we got off the highway I pulled over and used the car’s navigation system and the same thing occurred - it didn’t recognize where we were. I tried WAZE on my phone - same result.

I figure there must be something wrong with the GPS Satellite. Is there any way to check if a satellite is malfunctioning? I mean if my phone, my wife’s phone, and the car’s navigation system are acting as if they don’t know where they are then it’s got to be the satellite, RIGHT????

Your thought will be appreciated.

Re: Printing problems with IOS update

 

Penny,

I had the same thing a few months ago with an Epson printer. I finally deleted the printer & reinstalled. That solved the problem.

?Hi Everyone,

I’m hoping one of you can point me in the right direction to solve this problem. I see HP charges for customer service calls beyond the warranty and I’d like to avoid that, if possible.

Since updating to the latest IOS on my iPad and iPhone , I’m no longer able to print. I’m using an HP Envy 4512. From the printer, I see it’s on the network, but when I try to print I’m told “printer not found.” I have unplugged the modem, the router, and the printer, waited 10 minutes before plugging them back in. No luck. I’m on Spectrum for internet.

I’ve, also, done some google research and don’t see that anyone else has had the same problem.

Thanks, in advance, for any help you might give me.

Re: Help needed

 

I assume you are talking about the Dock. The items in the dock are aliases. If you accidentally remove and item from the dock it is still on your computer. Just do a search for the folders.
Good Luck.

Hey all….

First thing is whoever is controlling the thermostat turn it up!

OK. Somehow and I still have not figured out how, but I have lost a file folder from bar at the bottom of the screen on my MACBook. Since day one I had this file icon (actually two) in the row with mail, browser contacts, iMessage and such. One was a folder with ALL my apps in it in alpha order. And then my Downloaded files.

I do not remember what I was doing that somehow both of them got deleted and I can not figure out how to get them back. I did make a file folder and copied some programs to it and it is on my desktop. It’s not ALL the programs/apps tho just what I put in it.

How do I get those back?

Richard-
I assume you aren’t talking about the Mac icon named ‘Launchpad”, which has all your apps.

If that’s not what you meant, I found this in Apple Support:


I hope that helps.

Re: Question of pictures in iPhoto albums

Yes, the Albums. I can see I have picture ‘A’ in my library, but also in an iPhoto Events album named ‘Christmas 2001’.
I think iPhoto used to make albums of photos based on events or dates. I’ll try your idea and see what happens.
Thanks!
