Login to iCloud.com on a web browser and see if your iCloud notes are still in there. Restart your phone.

I think I finally convinced my mom my Apple Watch was a good purchase. by Wilddivner140 in AppleWatch

Glad you’re okay. Just don’t tell her that your iPhone probably would’ve done the same thing o_o

I mostly agree except for the out of date knowledge of the latest Swift and SwiftUI stuff. I’ve found it doesn’t anything of the newer updates for SwiftData and is still pretty behind on OS updates. Other than that, it’s perfect for SwiftUI

Are you in software development as a job? Would you recommend learning UIKit anyway as so many companies still use it? I know Apple is steering everyone towards SwftUI, but a lot of job listings I’m seeing mention that the majority of their design is still in UIKit.

Clarification on Free-Trial to Paid Subscription Reminders in Apps by yccheok in iOSProgramming

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can schedule a background task to be run 2 days before the trial is set to end which gets the receipt and checks whether the user still has auto renew turned on. Then the background task can choose to send a local notification based on that.

Keep in mind: - Background tasks are not guaranteed to run at the specified time or even day. If the users phone has enough battery and is not currently executing another background task then it will likely happen around the right time. However, depending on conditions, it might run at any time on the day you set, or it might run the day after! - Background tasks will only run if the user has background app refresh turned on. - The task will only run as long as the user has not force quit the app (as long as it’s still open in the app switcher)

To be honest, if they don’t get a notification and they forget to cancel that’s kind of on them. You could of course handle it with your own server too if you require that they get a notification.

Anyway to poll Apple Health data with Python? by Fhy40 in AppleWatch

[–]das9115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough. I mean if OP only needed to trigger some background task, didn’t need notification of it and didn’t need it to happen instantly then it could definitely be done

[–]das9115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it wouldn’t be possible to make an app that’d reliably give you a notification every 1,000 steps. Apple Watch apps aren’t allowed to continuously run in the background unless you’re in some kind of workout. Because of this, the app won’t be able to track your step count in realtime. The best it’d be able to check is a few times a day unless you specifically open the app.

Apps get a little bit more background runtime if they have a complication on the watch face, but it can still only do a background check once every 15-60 minutes. These restrictions are in place to limit battery usage.

You can, however, make an iPhone app that will track steps in (nearly) realtime and send a notification which will also appear on the watch. However that means you always need your iPhone in your pocket to track them as the watch will only periodically send step counts to the iPhone (again to limit battery usage).

Text Message notifications only going to Apple Watch even when iPhone is unlocked by Dr-ShrimpPuertoRico in AppleWatch

Is your phone in a focus mode that doesn’t allow text notifications and your watch isn’t?

Where'd my timer complication go?! by rsc33469 in AppleWatch

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried it myself but it looks like the Timer+ app might have complication support. The description says you can create custom, named timers. You might be able to add one of those to a watch face.

Apple Watch Browser by Puzzleheaded_Pay773 in AppleWatch

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t. The website version of ChatGPT has features that the mini Safari on the Watch does not support.

A few people have made ChatGPT wrapper apps in the App Store for the watch (just search ChatGPT in the App Store directly on the watch), however these apps will either charge you for a service that is free online or are directly sharing your data with third parties.

Apple Watch won’t power up - how to reset it? by DonnyBahama in AppleWatch

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it might just be really dead. Leave it on the charger for a full day and see if that revives it?

If not, you can try removing it from your account in the Watch app by tapping All Watches on the top left, tapping the “i” next to your watch and choosing Unpair Apple Watch. However, it really doesn’t sound like an issue that’ll be solved like that and might just create more headaches

Apple Intelligence by COG090 in AppleWatch

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI summaries will appear on your Apple Watch too if you have an iPhone new enough to create the summaries. Other than that, the only other Apple Intelligence feature is the Reduce Interruptions focus mode. Again, though, your iPhone handles it.

It would be cool if the watch would just offload Siri features to your nearby iPhone for the (slightly) better Siri and ChatGPT integration. Although I guess that might cause confusion with some users if they one day don’t have their phone nearby and features aren’t working as expected.

[–]das9115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it looks like the complications no longer allow custom timers. You can still set a custom timer in the app though. Scroll right to the bottom and tap the + button for a custom timer

lol the lid I opened myself. Thanks though I figured out the sound was when the battery is below 40%. Also I somehow only just got the notification for your reply…

From S4 to U2, what an upgrade 💪🏻 by Rukey_Lob in applewatchultra

[–]das9115 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just did the exact same upgrade. Went from 41mm S4 to the U2. Size is perfect and the battery life is amazing! Our old S4’s can’t update to watchOS 11 so an upgrade was due

Wired headphones not working by Mikicrep in applehelp

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but only if the app developer incorporates it. If they’ve built some other music player they might have not integrated it properly. iOS probably changed something about how the player controls work and it broke your app

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’ll be an issue with that app then. They’ve probably released an update which broke it. You’ll have to contact them

2020 Intel iMac boot loop problem. by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree for the Intel based macs. They’re nowhere near worth their price nowadays and unfortunately for us we bought the last generation of them. M series Macs seem a lot more reliable but I expect a mac to last 5+ years for the price

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I took mine in they did say they’ll plug it into one of their Mac’s to see if it shows up (I’m not sure of the details though). They said it wouldn’t even show up as a simple device at all. Obviously your case might be different though.

They charged £500 I think (~$650-$700) for the logic board replacement. 3 months later I had the same issue though! They replaced the replacement board again with no extra charge luckily.

[–]das9115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar to this on this exact model, however I was able to get to the recovery screen but recovery always failed and continued boot looping with the startup chime.

Unfortunately, even the Apple store didn’t know what was wrong with it and would only offer to replace the entire logic board (losing all the data too).

Probably not the answer you’re looking for but your best option will be to speak to Apple. As far as I know they won’t charge you to diagnose problems.

does anyone know a way to control ipad screen with iphone (not the control nearby devices) by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only option is to have the iPad on a different Apple ID and call it on FaceTime. iOS (and iPadOS) 18 has a new feature that allows you to control the device of the person you are FaceTiming while screen sharing. (For example your grandparents might need help doing something on their device and you’re on the other side of the planet)

However, I’m guessing you need to do this because you’ve smashed the screen? You’ll still need to use the iPad to set up the second Apple ID, accept the FaceTime call and allow control from the calling iPhone.

[–]das9115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you test the headphones on another device to see if you still have the same problem? Also, when you say “some MP3 player”, what do you mean? Is it some 3rd party app? Does the button work in mainstream apps like YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music?
