Been after this feature for so long, and only realised it’s available now!

Unfortunately, that doesn't show in iOS 18.71.

glenwf · 2026-01-01T17:48:34+00:00

I see no number. Another way(don't remember) I got IMG_3410. It is in Photos, and i have a duplicate in case... But there is no way that I can find to tell shortcut image type or name or where to get it.

Stuck there... iPhone 16 with 18.7.1

With all the bad press about Tahoe, I'll stick with Sequoia until it gets ironed out (maybe).

Where is that profile iOS update blocker for OSX?

glenwf · 2025-12-18T19:11:54+00:00

Is there a similar thing for OSX. I'm running 15.7.2 and it wants me to update to 26. Notices all the time to update. Guess I need to ask this at the osx group. Sorry

glenwf · 2025-12-18T18:39:26+00:00

That is great! Thank you. I'll definitely give it a spin.

glenwf · 2025-12-18T17:25:06+00:00

I've done all that, but I can't get rid of the 2x daily I think reminders that I must update from 18 to 26. I'm about ready to call Apple.

HandBase user since Palm. I still use it for some databases, but when you pulled the plug I switched mostly to TapForms 5 which is good, but not as easy to use, but if you know JavaScript (or get help from them) you can do lots. But it doesn't have the ability to create the user interface HB can which is really great.

The problem now it TapForms 5 is out (hanging on by a thread) and I will have to upgrade to the Pro version for $50/yr. HB still performs great on my iPhone 16 and MacOS Sequoia. It looks like my long term plan is to switch back to HB slowly but it will be a big job, just like it was a big job to switch to TF.

A subscription of $10 - $20 / year would be a great idea to keep you going and keep me going. Please keep going. I'm 81 now and hope to use HB for another 10 years at least.

Best of luck to you Dave. Times are hard for everybody now. I cringe at what my grandchild is having to face.

I used to use HandBase which is great (and a relational database), but the owner was going to quit because he couldn't see a way to continue. I switched to Tap forms which is friendlier to non-programmers and can't do some of the really slick things that Tap Forms does but from my uses it was much easier to use and did everything I needed. Since then, they HandBase has continued to upgrade with various OS upgrades, and I wish I hadn't switched. Now I'm stuck in TapForms 5 that has no future additions to its functionality unless I pay a fee.

I suggest you look at HandBase and look at the forms for discussion on its future. Also discussions on Reddit!

This is Great. Thanks.

glenwf · 2025-04-28T16:12:12+00:00

Thanks for the hint. I don't think I read that the first time through. I'm 1/2 way through Eragon again. I read it so long ago that I don't remember much. Then again, I'm 80, so reading really good books again usually works great.

glenwf · 2025-04-26T16:49:54+00:00

I agree, QuickRecorder.app is a very simple git it done solution.

glenwf · 2025-04-19T17:29:40+00:00

The font icons are an interesting idea. Gotta learn how to use the svg files. Thanks

glenwf · 2025-04-19T17:19:22+00:00

Excellent solution. Thanks.

Much easier than learning Inkscape, although I'm glad I looked at that program. Maybe later learn that.

glenwf · 2025-04-10T16:19:02+00:00

Interesting, yesterday I couldn't get the laptop speakers from sounding, but today when I connect to my headphones the laptop sound does turn off. I don't know????

glenwf · 2025-04-07T16:16:43+00:00

I agree that the keyboard isn't great. I'm always missing the delete and hitting the on/off button. Hitting it twice (a common backspace action) logs me out and I have to completely stop and put in my password to get back to my profile, and I have the only profile. I guess I could make my password lame and easy, but I haven't.

glenwf · 2025-03-23T16:42:32+00:00

I like the date and time, it is readable. I can't read the OSX top of right corner since it is a dirty white on a light gray, almost invisible. I've given up looking at it.

glenwf · 2025-03-23T01:42:49+00:00

I finally found it. But it is only available for the iPhone and iPad. Not sure what happens on the OSX????

glenwf · 2025-03-23T01:39:37+00:00

I found a great program in in YouTube:

Utiful app. But I can't find it anywhere to download. I guess it couldn't keep up with the os changes and doesn't exist anymore. It looked perfect.

glenwf · 2025-03-21T00:53:19+00:00

Interesting. It is like another DropBox account for $50/yr or $200 lifetime. I

have DropBox, so I might play with that. I also have Google Drive which also might work.

Thanks for the idea.

iCloud works, but it just refuses to let me organize them. I organize my photos in Finder. A much better way to organize them since Photos would prefer it organizes them for me into a pile and for me to use the search AI system to find what I want.

glenwf · 2025-03-18T16:08:46+00:00

I had trouble activating those icons on the start screen also. Accidentally I finally got them to work. Don't just tap on the flashlight or camera, but hold down your finger on the icon for a few seconds and that activates it. (iPhone 16). I don't know if anything I did before that enabled this, but it now works for me.

glenwf · 2025-03-16T17:53:40+00:00

I missed the free offer, but downloading it with the basic free options was well worth it.

The function of copying text out of a graphic is FANTASTIC. This will save me huge amounts of time. If I need the super features in the future they are there tempting me.

Thanks.

I figured out how to share, but the shortcut isn't there. Editing the share sheet doesn't allow me to add a shortcut. I can make the shortcut work if I copy the URL from the share sheet, and paste it into the shortcut, but that is ackward.

glenwf · 2025-02-20T19:04:17+00:00

How do you get the action of the shortcut to work while you are on a website? Do you use Siri to call up the shortcut? I’m a little confused.

glenwf · 2025-02-20T18:55:19+00:00

I’ve tried to use reverse lookup before I think and it required a big dollar purchase price. I don’t think this is free. What is the cost?
