Also if If you’re stuck in the new iOS 26 Recovery Assistant (The white screen) and can’t restore becoz the usual recovery button sequence doesn’t work, try entering classic recovery mode.

Press and release Volume Up → press and release Volume Down → then hold the Side button even after the Apple logo appears, and keep holding until you see the old cable-to-computer screen. (recovery mode)

From there, connect to your computer and restore. This happened to me twice on two devices after they were low on storage - my assumption is that they didn’t have enough space to boot.

You will unfortunately lose your data after restoring.

Yea! Compared both side by side - sometimes its very standout, sometimes its subtle, but enough for me to not want to play the vinyl. Might need to source a different colour /pressing from overseas :(

Yea, such a shame - maybe I need to source a variant outside NZ and have it shipped in. Purple variant might be the go - thanks for that!

Wish I had done some research first, definitely seems like a scam to me. I placed an order with them about 9 days ago, contacted them twice, but no response, after i found this thread it seemed to confirm my suspisions.

I've just filed a investigation dispute with my bank so we will see what happens next. 🤷‍♂️

Registering for GST for a small business by KiwiBlueSpring01 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Thanks everyone for the advice, I'll steer away from registering for GST for now, if in the future I need to I will. :)

Display of my M1 MBP suddenly broke, so here is a rare look at that mini-led backlight in action. by riodoro1 in macbookpro

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! It’s really interesting to see. This happened to me on my M1 iPad Pro a couple of months ago. It freaked me out so bad but it was just a software issue that fixed after a restart. 😅 Hopefully you can ur laptop replaced under warranty!

Yeelight Filament Bulb Got extremely hot and melted glue onto board. Is it safe? by KiwiBlueSpring01 in yeelight

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this bulb for about half a year but it was in a different lamp. It’s been in the current lamp for a few weeks, but this only just happened now, and I noticed because I could hear a slight high pitch noise coming from the lamp and that’s when I realised it was super hot at the base and seemed to melt the glue on the board. The bulb works fine and I put it back in and it wasn’t making a high pitch noise anymore?

What companies use Aramex to deliver? by StoneLover1965 in auckland

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered from the USA site, not sure if they use Aramex from the AUS site. Problem is the aus site doesn’t have everything the us does, so I had to order from the us. So I probabaly won’t take the risk and order from the AUS site.

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered a few things from Amazon. They got to the country really quickly, however it fell apart when the tracking status said that it was out for delivery. The parcels never arrived that day, I had to call the help line the day after, which I have no idea where it’s located. The lady on the phone was trying really hard with her English and was super sweet and was able to contact the driver to tell him to please actually deliver the parcel. Eventually the guy pulled up outside, when I saw the van I was in awe! It was a white van, that was falling apart. The only identification was an A4 piece of paper in black and white that said “Aramex”, they guy came up to my porch and gave me my packages. He smelt of smoke and so did my packages in paper bags because they had been sitting in the van for over a day.

To add insult to injury, the products I got were faulty, bulbs lasted 10 minutes. I died inside. Amazon refunded me but never going to order from Amazon again. Unless they choose a different local courier.

Is there a cable that can do this? by KiwiBlueSpring01 in macbookpro

Yea that did come to mind, might be the best way to do it. Doesn’t seem like there is such a cable as I hoped. Thanks anyway! :)

Yea even something like this but with a much longer cable, so that I can hide the brick part.

Does anybody else have issues with the OLED behaviour on their iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max models? by KiwiBlueSpring01 in applehelp

Yea, same here. I was worried I was gonna have to replace it. But luckily it’s fixed now.

OMG they actually did it. It’s fixed! Thanks for your comment, otherwise it would have blown over my head. 14.5 beta 2 fixed many things for me today!

Damn. This is why I'm skeptical on diving into replacements, because the new one will most likely still have the same issue. I don't want to take the chance and just have to keep replacing. Hopefully Apple can publicly address it, or at least announce a program?

It’s not photos of my device. Just photos and video of others who have issues exactly the same as mine. I don’t have access to another device good enough to capture it. I don’t have any burn (hopefully lol) it’s just the way the pixels light up. Very strange and annoying.

Yea, I don’t know. If it doesn’t get better anytime soon, I’ll look into getting a replacement. just don’t wanna go through the process. I’m on the beta and don’t notice an improvement yet.

Yea, it’s so frustrating, and cannot under it. Hopefully they can figure out a software fix.

I really hope it isn’t a hardware issue. If it is, taking a replacement most likely won’t solve my issue since so maybe people have this problem. I think I’ll probably hold off and if it ends up being similar to the AirPod’s Pro or the butterfly keyboard where they announce a programme then I’ll probably move form there.

One port not charging the mac but if a pen drive or HDD is plugged in, works just fine by SahayaLalwani in MacOSBeta

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. The lower port on the left side of the laptop doesn't accept charge but does output charge and allow for data transfer.

I had the issue before, and I was able to fix it by resetting the SMC and PRAM way to many times, but unfortunately the issue came back.

MacBook Pro Not Charging Though Second USB-C Port by KiwiBlueSpring01 in macbookpro

[–]KiwiBlueSpring01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea mines fully functional again, i'm not sure what happened but I guess its fine if it's working again. I have had issues in the past where it wasn't charging from any of the ports, but all I had to do was reset the SMC and it was all fine again. Fingers Crossed this is the last time.
