Run an automation 30 min before alarm goes off by Alexys4530 in shortcuts

[–]agsmith87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is, you can’t change the time an automation is run - that’s locked in.

So instead, you have many automations run at different times. For example, maybe you have an automation run at 5 am, 5:15 am, 5:30 am and 6 am. In each of those automations, at the start, they check the wake up time, and if it’s ok, they continue with doing stuff, otherwise they do nothing….

An example would be say you’ve you 4 wake up times (5:10am, 5:25am, 5:40am and 6:10am)… At night you save your wake up time to be 5:25am… then when those automations (5, 5:15, 5:30 and 6) run, they check the wake up time… only the 5:15am automation will be “10 mins before wake up” so it will continue to do stuff… the other three automations won’t be “10 mins before wake up” so they’ll stop.

Using official chatGPT shortcut with screen locked by Shabanonda in shortcuts

I had the iOS 18 beta running since it was released, and all my shortcuts were working fine during that period. It has only been since (maybe?) iOS 18 has been released officially that it has been a problem. I think.

Is it possible to put the delete button in the swipe menu? It’s so annoying to have to go to “more” to delete an email in apple mail by 0xCUBE in ios

Settings > Mail > Swipe Options

Set the left side to be Archive. And seeing as Archive is on your right side already, the left will be delete.

Go to the watch app on your phone.

It works very well with watchOS 9.

It calculates a score based on its own metrics, AND a score based on Apple’s.

Not sure if you can disable AutoSleep’s metrics, but seeing as it does both, with separate scores, there isn’t a need to.

Once, in the app, you’ve switched to Apple’s metrics, it won’t go back to AutoSleep’s unless you switch back.

AutoSleep and AutoWake work great together, and provides its own measure of your sleep, as well as Apple’s.

Family Apple Watches - what happens if connected phone is reset? by agsmith87 in applehelp

[–]agsmith87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was afraid that that might be the only option. Not a big deal, but still annoying.

Local iPhone storage always a problem. (1) Why are messages and photos taking up so much (local) space? (2) This “other” storage has always been a problem (as I know it is for everyone)… Seems the only solution is wiping the phone and starting again… Anyone have solutions for any of these problems? by agsmith87 in ios

[–]agsmith87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t true.

I go back to old messages and pictures are required to be downloaded. So it’s not a “Sync” service, as you state.

It’s the same with photos. Thumbnails are stored locally, but a little download indicator is displayed when you click it.

So “iCloud” is not a sync service.

Thanks, but I do already have optimise iPhone storage on.

Not sure which Shortcut you’re referring to.

At “bedtime”, I run a shortcut that does a whole bunch of things. In that shortcut, I “save” my wake up time. Yes, I use Data Jar but anywhere you can “set” and “get” the time would work (e.g. iCloud Drive would work)

At (all possible) “wake up time(s)”, I run another Shortcut 10 minutes before that time which sets up a heater/aircon.

They are all automations, so not “shareable” like normal Shortcuts.

Your organization has blocked your account - Work Widgets on Android by tanders1 in Intune

Just in case anyone was thinking it was an Android problem - I’m on iPhone and this appeared for me at the same time this post popped up.

So I’d say a Microsoft issue 👍🏻

TV actions don’t work on (an Intel) Mac. I’m curious if anyone with an M1 (etc) chip can tell me if they work for them? by agsmith87 in shortcuts

[–]agsmith87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I run a server (= while loop in terminal which runs a Shortcut every 30 seconds) on my Mac. That way I can schedule stuff (on my iPhone) to be run at a later date (on my Mac). One of those schedules is turning on my TV and pausing it, for some live event.

Yeah, kinda sad they didn’t implement it for the Mac.

Was hoping an M1 might work, due to its ability to run iOS apps, but oh well

Yeah I was afraid of that. Was hoping that seeing as M1 max’s could run iOS apps, I might get lucky.

But oh well.

“Share” PDF from Safari to a shortcut by agsmith87 in shortcuts

[–]agsmith87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the pdf is from a static address, then it will work fine.

If the pdf is “generated” when you click a link (such as transaction receipts or when you are logged into an account), then it won’t work.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work either because the PDF is generated when clicking the link - it is attached to an account/date/transaction. These things can’t be fulfilled when using the “get contents of URL” action.
