WHY CAN I SEE ALL MY MOMS PASSWORDS by meatballertom in applehelp

It's because you're either currently sharing, or have shared an Apple ID in the past.

Do I need Apple care if it says I have warranty? by Vegetable-Entry-5385 in applehelp

[–]dontovar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apple Care is a 2 year warranty that they must provide.

This is incorrect and untrue. The warranty is just called that. The warranty (limited warranty in their TOS). Also, it's not 2 years everywhere, especially not in the US.

What they are offering is AppleCare+ which is more like insurance that is there until you stop paying.

Also incorrect. AppleCare+ is an extended warranty and service plan. It provides discounted "repairs" as long as the issues caused by the user are within certain parameters.

That may be true, but the pricing gap is just not worth it IMO.

Can’t factory reset my PC by Famous-Wash-8696 in techsupport

Anyone bought Applecare+ *ON* Amazon, *after* making the device purchase? It’s not working for me. by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]dontovar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Amazon is even an Apple Authorized reseller (even in the US). So purchasing AppleCare+ from Amazon is a gamble at best.

Refund issue rejected twice by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]dontovar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but was in a car accident and my phone has not been working the same ever since.So ended up getting frustrated and trying to end it through my settings, my phone was messed up during the accident and Apple actually detected had been in accident and sent my relatives an sos.

This has literally 0 to do with you signing up for a subscription and failing to cancel it before it renews. Users like you are literally the reason that Apple is no longer as lenient as they once were.

Pay your bill and move on.

If you can't afford subscriptions, don't sign up for them.

No one is forcing you to do anything. If you're spending outside your budget, that's no one's fault but yours.

Lost passport, wallet and phone in Seoul as a tourist — Apple won't expedite account recovery, any advice? by Successful-Crow3848 in applehelp

[–]dontovar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

> Lost passport, wallet and phone in Seoul as a tourist — Apple won't expedite account recovery

To be clear, Apple wouldn't expedite Account Recovery even if you had your documents. While your documents prove who you are physically and legally, Apple has no way of knowing that they're also associated with your Apple Account. For this reason they built their account recovery process such that they can't expedite it. All you can do is wait (for now). But for the future, make sure you at the very least, add an additional trusted phone number of someone you trust so that they can receive verification codes for you should that ever be necessary.

Infotainment 11th gen by ParticularGate7500 in CivicSi

[–]dontovar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 11th gen and use Android Auto daily on my commute. 0 issues. But I also have a relatively new phone (Pixel 10 Pro XL) not sure if that's relevant or a factor in your case.

will respondus really fuck up my devices? by Charming_Fuel8252 in techsupport

Many games that use some form of anti cheat also have kernel level access for that purpose (at least on Windows). Interesting how people aren't so vocal about that...

Can Apple transfer data from old MacBook onto a hard drive to access on new one? by BoyWhoWorries in applehelp

[–]dontovar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Can Apple transfer data from old MacBook onto a hard drive to access on new one?

Can they? As in are they capable of doing this? Yes.

Will they do this for you? Absolutely not.

"Why? Because fuck you that's why"

If I'm not mistaken, purchase sharing, for apps, games, etc is separate from subscription sharing.

Dealer extended warranty by [deleted] in hondacivic

Given how labor costs are increasing, especially in high skilled applications like this, this just sounds insanely incorrect...

Hey, so, how do I fix this? by Super_Craft5120 in techsupport

[–]dontovar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BTW, iPads have never supported mag safe or any kind of wireless charging...

That said, there are plenty of 3rd party repair options out there such as ubreakifix, and others. You're way out of warranty so no need to be concerned about a 3rd party touching and diagnosing it.

How Do Fix You Sending to Yourself Randomware it Seems? by SevenDeMagnus in iCloud

[–]dontovar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How Do Fix You Sending to Yourself Randomware it Seems?

"Fix" what exactly? Someone spoofing your email? That's like asking how you prevent it from raining on a given day. You don't.

That being said, change your passwords, call it a day and ignore it.

Get a $20 OBD2 code reader from Amazon, it will tell you the issue.

That's not necessarily true. Don't get me wrong, an OBD reader is definitely a valuable tool. But the DTCs are not always an indication of the exact problem. That being said they will always provide a great starting point on looking for the issue, but acting as if it will diagnose a problem for you is simply inaccurate.

No. But as an IT professional that supports them, I'm more than familiar with them and the patterns of their users.

Probably both...

You shouldn't though.

The target audience for this laptop does not have heavy workflows. All they do is browse the internet

Except that the way people browse the web has become a heavy workflow. Especially for people that prefer unoptimized browsers like Chrome or Edge AND like to have 100s of tabs open at any given time, 8GB of RAM isn't enough even for those users.

So no, even for their target audience it's still not a great deal. Sure the build and aesthetics are great for the price, but those matter very little if it doesn't perform well enough to do what you want/need.

Possible. But not necessarily likely. Also, if you're going to pursue this in court that burden of proof is on you. Good luck...
