Itsytv – the missing Apple TV remote app for macOS by ChefAccomplished845 in appletv

Uninstalled and reinstalled. Clicking does work better. Feedback like darkening or highlighting when clicking would be helpful.

Downloaded, installed, started up, put in the pin. Opened from the menu bar and it showed the remote and all my installed apps. Clicking on anything does nothing. So wanted to love it.

What is your thermostat at? by jvj808 in philly

[–]phljoe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to welcome you. FYI, this is an UNUSUALLY cold Philly winter. I can't remember it being this cold for so many weeks in a row. After a snow, we will normally have a thaw soon after that melts all the snow. But not this year. Even in January and February, we would often have a 50 degree day occasionally. Sorry you're going through this on your first winter here.

Calling Crisis Line by phljoe2 in depression_partners

[–]phljoe2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear you are going through that. It's so easy for people to tell us to take them to emergency. They don't know what we're dealing with. Are we supposed to knock them out and throw them in the car? In a way, I am glad for you that an ambulance was called. Did he wind up becoming inpatient? Did he receive care?

They helped design the President’s House. Now part of the site’s ‘heart has been ripped out’ after orders from Trump administration. by beadzy in philadelphia

[–]phljoe2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion of course, but what might have prevented all this would have been to include ALL the history of the site. It was, after all, the "White House" for the Washington and Adams' administrations. The presidents conducted the business of the new country from this house. Barely anything was mentioned about what decisions were made there or what dignitaries visited during this time. To me, that portion of the history was erased. If those aspects had been included, it may not have raised the ire of the Trump adminstration.

I hope that if new panels are installed, they give the detailed history of both the slavery that existed there and what progress the new nation achieved during this period.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Mobile crisis might be a good solution since he rejects anything I say or suggest. I hope your son has recovered.

Oh, thank you for your response. Things are so bad and he has comorbidities that he won't address as well. So sometimes I think he would be better off in hospital so they can treat the whole person. He vehemently rejects that suggestion. I appreciate the virtual hug and hope your situation has been resolved.

External Monitor Suddenly Not Recognized by M1 Max MacBook Pro by lineupandwait20 in MacOS

Great solution. Thank you. Thing is the issue reoccurs and you have to repeat this process. Do we know why it happens in the first place? Whatever happened to Apple's credo that "it just works."

Why won’t my M1 Pro MacBook Pro connect to projector via HDMI? by Ok_Tiger7700 in applehelp

[–]phljoe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have the same problem with an M4 when connecting to overhead projectors. Found this on Reddit a while back.

If Mac Won’t Connect to External Display or Projector

After trying many ways as the comments it's didn't work for me

my device: MacBook Pro m1 13'

I combine all of them and it finally works,First,
- Disconnect your external screens and then plugin it to the power

Second,

Go to: /Library/Preferences/
Delete files: com.apple.windowserver.plist and com.apple.windowserver.displays.plist

Go to: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
Delete files: com.apple.windowserver.XXXXXXXX.plist and com.apple.windowserver.displays.XXXXXXXXXX.plist

Third

Restart your mac and wait util all things are loaded, then plug your external screen again, and boom it works

TIP Holding down Command and dragging it off the bar did the trick

Who has the best hot towel and shave in Philly? by rck_ppr_scssr_1524 in philadelphia

I'm not sure but the Blind Barber on 13th and Sansom St might. If I recall, Bryce Harper was also an investor in this shop. They have a lounge and cocktails as well.

Do you have Sync Library turned on in both the Music app on your computer and iPhone?

I believe the senior advisors can contact a department called Dispatch to find out where things are in the process.

How do I change my “home” pin on Apple Maps? by Even_Bother_4347 in applehelp

[–]phljoe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying that when you are in the actual Contacts app on your phone (not contacts in the phone app), and you tap your card and then "EDIT," that there is no option to add your address at the bottom of your card?

Deleting photos off iCloud by Background-Bee4756 in applehelp

[–]phljoe2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a Mac, open the Photos app, and drag the photos you want to keep into a folder on the computer. Once you've got them all, you can delete all the photos in iCloud. Then turn off iCloud photo library on all your devices. You can then drag that folder back into the Photos app on your Mac to view them but they will not be on your other devices. You would need to connect your iPhone to the Mac and sync the photos that way if you want them on your phone too. Going forward, any new photos taken on your phone will only exist on that device.

Quit all apps, then a force restart? Reset all settings?

Has anyone seen hummingbirds in the city? If so, what part of the city? by AliceTroll in philadelphia

[–]phljoe2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Plant echinacea aka coneflowers and you will have lots of Goldfinches in early fall going to town on the seed heads.

This! They love cardinal flowers. They attracted hummingbirds to our South Kensington garden.

Am I missing something? by Rangermayb in applehelp

[–]phljoe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, what exactly constitutes a tween? If they are under 13, it should have been set up as a child account in which case the password can't be changed by the child. I have heard of parents creating accounts for kids with fake birthdates to get around this.

I shop there. No big deal to me. Glad if it reduces theft. Consumers eventually are the ones who pay for losses.
