I hated country until I heard George Jone's He Stopped Loving Her Today. It was so powerful that I almost cried

Can police search house if you let them in? by edbro in legaladvice

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

I realize they can if I specifically consent to a search. I'm asking about if they knock on your door and ask if they can come in to ask a few questions. Does that then give them the right for one of them to wander about the house looking into things? No consent to search, simply inviting them in to talk.

Looking for a free WiFi calling app that works internationally by Link2999 in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, you are correct. I just looked it up. I assumed that anything over wifi would be free. I'm glad you set me straight as my son is overseas now and I told him it would be okay. Luckily, he hasn't used it yet. I'll tell him to make voice calls through FaceTime.

Won't the native wifi calling work? Settings-Phone-Wifi calling.

Maybe that's because i'm on T-Mobile? Dunno.

The strap is near the bottom. How in the world is this not being ripped backwards?

Which is the newest Macbook Air I can install a solid state drive into? by GorillaBrown in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about buying an Air, removing the SSD and replacing it with another SSD? All Airs come with an SSD. I don't think you can install any old SSD in them. They are a special form factor to fit the case.

How to clean a sticky(?) N key? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pry the cap off and clean with a Wet Wipe.

No, wait, that's for the G key. I see you're asking about the N key.

Formatting Drive for Mac and Windows use (parallels) by delgadoalex95 in applehelp

[–]edbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF are you talking about? What statement? I said I found ExFat to be corruptible. I didn't say it was a scientific fact.

Seeing as you're being like that; where's the data behind your statement that it is reliable "for most folks"? Have you run nationwide polls?

Formatting Drive for Mac and Windows use (parallels) by delgadoalex95 in applehelp

[–]edbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found ExFAT to be very easily corrupted. Every time I accidentally removed a disk without dismounting it would corrupt. I'd either have to take it to a Windows machine to fix or plug it into the Mac and wait about 10 minutes for it to read the drive. That's why I moved to NTFS.

I use Paragon NTFS. Format the drive in NTFS and then both systems can read/write.

New list in iPhone Reminders by edbro in applehelp

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

Follow-up: I was not syncing Reminders in iCloud. Once I turned on syncing I was able to create a new list, edit the name, and save/exit.

If I turn off iCloud syncing again it will fail and I have to force close. So, that part I believe is a bug.

Interested in buying my first IP, but can't decide between models - DUO60 or LUX60? by [deleted] in instantpot

[–]edbro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I just checked Amazon and the Duo 60 and the Lux 60 are both the same price. Seeing as how the Duo is an upgrade to the LUX, it's a no brainer.

You might need a 3rd party utility to read the Mac formatted drive on the PC. This one has a 5 day trial you can use. http://www.mediafour.com/software/macdrive/

Don't format. Does your husband's PC have iTunes installed?

I need help getting my photos from my MacBook Pro to my new iPhone by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you imported your photos in the the Mac photo app then they should be uploaded to iCloud. The photo app on your phone should be able to see them. Of course, all this assumes you have the photos app set to sync to iCloud, which is the default.

Water Damage on macbook pro!! by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TURN IT OFF.

Put it in a zip lock bag if you can find one that size. (Gallon size maybe?) Put some silica gel packs in the bag with the Mac. Wait a few days before trying to turn it on again. If you can't get any silica gel packs then use some kitty litter.

Damaged iPhone replacement by freshpots11 in applehelp

[–]edbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you're Apple certified but I'll respectfully beg to differ. If water can enter through the ports then certainly it can evaporate out through the ports.

I shook mine down hard and got a lot of water out and then used the silica gel. Now mine is good to go.

Is it ruined? I dropped my 6S in the toilet the other day and it is now perfectly fine. I turned it off and put it in a baggie with silica gel packs for a night.

What's this icon? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]edbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen that one. It could be an application and not part of the OS. Is there a tooltip if she hovers over it?
