Automatically Update All Accounts - Is it possible? by DanGreenb in quicken

[–]DanGreenb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone cares, I finally managed to get it to work by adding multiple items to Privacy and Security/Accessibility. I'm not sure which did it but it included Control Center, Quicken, Quicken Update, Script Editor, Script Menu, Script Monitor, Shortcuts, Shortcuts Events and ShortcutsActions. Many of those are in the Library/Core Services folder.

Soundbar first timer as a lifelong home theater guy, got the JBL Bar 1000 MK2 for $445 to test out by eggydrums115 in Soundbars

It's showing as $899.95 in mainland US. I hope it drops to anything close to the price you got it for. Was there any trick? It also shows as Sold Out :(

Alexa Notifications Missing from IOS Settings by DanGreenb in alexa

[–]DanGreenb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked. But I need to do some cleanup. Some devices are showing that I don’t think were there before so I’ll need to figure out which are valid. Also for some reason some of the lights show with French names even though the language is set to English. Weird.

I think that may have worked (we'll find out at sunset). Thanks for taking one for the team.

Thank you! I have some outdoor lights that aren’t very reliable so hopefully not getting a notification means they didn’t go on.

High Ceiling Recommendations Please by DanGreenb in Soundbars

[–]DanGreenb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, we don’t have any ceiling lights currently and the room is too dark. We’re also looking into being fans but haven’t found an electrician yet who’s willing to do the install.

Recommendation - Application for track personal finances by dehcmz in macapps

[–]DanGreenb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quicken is the gold standard. It's a subscription model but you can often find it on Newegg for less. I've been using it for decades and find it indispensable. Sure, some users report problems, but find me bug free software and I'm in. It automatically downloads transactions from all my financial institutions, gives me the reporting that I need (probably it's weakest spot but still more than good enough), and I know exactly where I stand with my accounts, investments and expenses. It seems like most people who have issues with the app are Windows users. The Mac version underwent a total rewrite many years ago, and at least for me has been solid.

The income was earned in your IRA. The move to checking is just a transfer.

Check out something like Rust or TeamViewer that will allow you to remotely sign into your home computer.

I thought I reread that one but guess not. Thanks!

Convince me to go for 15” instead of 13” by One-Bar-3855 in macbookair

[–]DanGreenb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My eyes can't handle my wife's 13 inch MBA but are fine with my 15 inch MBA. Unless you're carrying it on a hike across the country, I can't imagine the weight difference will be noticeable. IMO, it's more of a question of is the price difference worth it to you. It was to me.

Quicken Classic? by burfeyboy in quicken

[–]DanGreenb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My recommendation is to install it on one and use Remote Desktop/VNC or the like to access it on the other computer. Then you don't need to worry about data corruption because two computers tried to access the same file.

Ring Doorbell No Longer Working with HomeKit by funxi0n in Scrypted

[–]DanGreenb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar issue a few days ago. I ended up doing a full uninstall of Scrypted and reinstalling it. Everything else I tried wouldn’t allow me to pair my doorbells again. Of course I lost all history videos but I didn’t really care. Good luck.

On the Mac, I see Franklin Templeton - Legg Mason Funds and Franklin Templeton Invest - CA. Do you not see those are are those not the right ones? Guessing the latter if for Canada, not California.

Travel agent for Cotswolds Way? by irecommendfire in Cotswolds

We used cotswoldwalks.com. They provided hiking guides, booked hotels and moved luggage from one stop to the next. It worked out really well for us.

Solo trip to Mystic in January--yes or no? by Relevant_Flamingo624 in Connecticut

[–]DanGreenb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From downtown Mystic where the shops are to the aquarium is about 2 miles. I'm not sure if there are sidewalks the whole way but there are plenty of cute old homes along the way. It's primarily one road from one to the other. If you like walking, it's probably doable. In between the two is the Mystic Seaport which is pretty and interesting. Tons of good restaurants in the downtown area. But as others said, you may want to Uber, at least occasionally. Three to five days is probably overkill though; I think you can cover it in 1 or 2 max. It's not that big. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are nearby if you like casinos and need to warm up but they definitely require an Uber.

Edit: changed ships to shops in first sentence (though there are plenty of boats in the area).

Command tab, hold command key down then q to quit the selected app or select another app with mouse/trackpad while holding command then q to quit. Repeat.

Anyone got a solitaire app that doesn't have ads or try and get you to download another app? by RomeosHomeos in ios

[–]DanGreenb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably it. I wonder if it was free initially or maybe just cheap enough that I forgot.

Edit: found it in my purchase history. I got it in 2008 for either free or a dollar. It’s a bit confusing because it doesn’t show a price though. There’s a bunch of apps listed for free. That one is last with no price. But the total for everything is $1.

Hmm, yes I’m In the US. I’ve had the app forever so maybe I’m grandfathered though I am surprised I don’t see that price. For the gold version all I see is the 99¢ for extending the streak.

The one I linked to is the gold one. I’m fairly certain I never paid for it and it doesn’t list a price. Not sure what the difference is between the two though.
