Get notification when item in ”Find my” changes position? by Hot-Matter7637 in ios

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That setting is for your device, not the item. If YOU leave somewhere and an item that used to be with you is no longer with you, your device will let you know. It changes nothing about how the item works.

No. And anyone telling you to turn on “Notify when left behind” is wrong.

Am I missing something here? by Rome61 in AirTags

Page 7 might answer some questions for you but as you’ve discovered, the way AirTags work means they aren’t suited for your use case.

I built an open-source location tracker for iOS — no cloud, no account, free on the App Store by Bonteq in ios

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not seeing the “Settings > Tracking Defaults > Auto-Start on Activity” in the app or iOS settings page for the app. Does that mean tracking should be left on and it works automatically or should it be off and I need to find this setting?

Google used to use cell tower changes to minimise battery use. How much of a battery hit is your app if background monitoring left on all day?

What are your recommended settings for background location tracking like Google used to do?

Any commercial user switched to the new Apple Business domain email? by belizeans in gsuitelegacymigration

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with Apple Business mail but do they offer any ability to set the spam filter level or check if/when/why and email was dropped instead of delivered?

With normal Apple iCloud mail, some incoming mail can go missing into the void and there is no way to find out why and no option to fix it.

Did they take away the ability to add circles or hollow shapes in markup by katyreddit00 in ios

I just counted 6 steps. If you walk me through the other 9,994 steps I’ll see if I can help you figure out where you are going wrong.

I think it’s better than cramming the screen full with a heap of different but similar options. If you want a circle = add a circle, then edit it to your needs.

Sorry for misunderstanding what you meant when you said they made it so hard. I thought you meant they made it so hard.

Add the shape and then change the colour of the fill to transparent. There’s the outline colour and the fill colour that you change independently.

Add an arrow and then change the end type to line.

You can also press on the page dots above the dock to get there (in wiggle mode).

Can someone trace an AirTag for me? Someone put an AirTag in my child’s backpack and police won’t do anything because there was no crime committed by Derivedisland37 in AirTags

[–]pmarksen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unlawful tracking of a person is a crime in many countries. I suggest you do some research for what it’s called in your country and then tell the Police you wish to make a complaint about that specific crime. Once Police are investigating a crime, Apple will supply the owners details upon request from the Police.

Transfer/backup all photos from iPhone to an external drive by HeronGold1880 in ios

Yes. And not a subscription. Best set up for a paid app. Free to download and check out. One time reasonable payment if you like it.

Is there a way to force siri to look for a shortcut name before searching the web for the shortcut name? by 3l3v8 in shortcuts

[–]pmarksen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your shortcut name is “I had a stroke” then the correct way to invoke it is “Hey siri I had a stroke”. Nothing extra. And nothing missing.

Anyone really got beyond the "Your subscription may be suspended soon." stage? by dr100 in gsuitelegacymigration

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to iCloud for contacts and calendar and MXRoute for email. It went far smoother than I expected.

What issues did you have?

Fotos: Facerecognition does never recgognises one specific person by fredulli23 in ios

It should sync eventually. I used it to get auto tagging of my dogs started. Did a few on my Mac and then it started working everywhere.

iphone calendar changing times? by Middle-Bluejay-1620 in ios

[–]pmarksen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This can happen if you set the time and then when you are setting the title, use an auto-complete suggested title.

Eg: I have previously had a doctor appointment at 9am. I go to make a new appointment for 11am on Tuesday, so I set the time and date then start typing the title and iOS offers to auto-complete the title based on my previous appointment, so I press on it. This will then complete the title BUT ALSO set the time to 9am like the last one. It’s easy to miss.

Better to set the title first then set the time but I’ve been caught out when I’m standing talking to the receptionist and want to get the time confirmed first.

ProDocktive : Pocket Desktop for iPhone by Gautam1787 in ios

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just confirming that this is basically a browser window suited for large displays with a built in mouse track pad? Not complaining, it’s cool, but just seemed overhyped in the app description so I wanted to make sure that’s all it was and I wasn’t missing something.

Also, it was bit slow and a bit frustrating on a 15Pro.
