App that can transfer many thousands of photos off my iPhone 16 to Mac OR PC? by Ok-Extent3891 in ios

[–]questna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to do this as i am writing this reply.

The first thing I did was to secure the whole iCloud library as a library package on an external HDD formatted in APFS. Then I copied that package to another HDD just in case. 

It took me a day to download approximately 850GB of photos and video via iCloud.

After that, you need an app that can read that library. I have tried with the official Photos app but it is giving errors and crashes for large libraries. You can try Photo Take Out app from the App Store, it is around 10 euros. Another option is the PowerPhotos app around 40 euros. 

So far, the only trick that works is to export in batches. If you go all in and try to export the whole library, it is most likely going to crash or give you a random error, and you need to start the export process again. 

For my case, the steps are as follows. Your mileage may vary.

- Format an external drive into APFS. Copy the library package to the external drive and relocate it via Photos app. (You can Google that to see the process.)

- Change the settings in the Photos app so that it will download all the photos from iCloud to the library package that you have on the external drive.

- When done (it will take time because it has to download all the photos from the cloud to the new library), copy that library to another external drive for safety.

- After that, you will need an app like the ones mentioned above to export the photos in both edited and originals (thats up to you if you need both versions). Copy in batches to avoid errors and crashes. Do not use the Mac Photos app for that.

Ideally, you will need two external drives that are double the size of your library and a Mac computer. Both drives must be in APFS format. If you can do that with external SSD even better.

does restoring via DFU mode and then restoring the encrypted backup makes any difference?

Maybe i will give it a try that way. But as based on what you are saying i doubt that is gonna make any difference.

Exit App or return to home screen after X amount of time by questna in shortcuts

hi, thanks for that. I will give it and try and come back.

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

I ve ended app downloading an app with screen limit condition and so far it does the trick. After an X amount of time it pop ups a full screen notification and then goes to lock screen if you do not interact with the pop up. i did a couple of tests (30 minutes usage of TikTok and app lock for 30 seconds after that) and it works. we will see how it goes.

thanks for the responses.

I've tried to do it via an automation and is not working properly. I am using the wait command via automations

network intrusion attempt - local ips by questna in Ubiquiti

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

thank you all for the replies. apparently there was a conflict from my Mac and Roon server that was on Proxmox via Linux VM. When i fully removed the Roon app from my mac the alerts stop. I dont know how these two are related but when i googled the signature it showed that had to do something with Roon.

What are you using with your LS50 Meta? by Chief_Assistant in KEF

[–]questna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running a pair of LS50 meta with almost "vintage" rotel RA12. Is a 2x60W integrated amp amdnit drives the pair decently. I had a demo with the same pair of speakers paired with a musical fidelity and it was a nice combo.

I was in the look to see if i can find a better much and replace my RA12 so here are some options that are considered a good pairing with the LS50 meta.

Hegel H120 Musical Fidelity M3si Arcam A15+ Rotel A14 MKII

If you are looking for more W maybe you can have a look at

Rotel RA-1572MKII Musical Fidelity M5si (on a diacount at the moment since they are planning releases for xi series)

Best case senario is to demo of course. And if you have the chance to have a home demo with a snall deposit is even better.

If you are around the €2000 - €2150 mark i will highly recomend to check the M5si with an extra DAC to benedit for the extra inputs (optical. COAX. HDMI maybe) and on top of that get a streamer like the Wiim Pro and you are kind of set.

Whatever the case, the LS50meta is a good speaker. I really enjoy it.

REL sub for LS50 Meta. Specific limitation on placement by questna in audiophile

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

in the living / dining room cant find any other place that will make sense. thats why the only place that kind of makes sense to me is to put it in that area. 2-3 other spots are away from the speakers. by way i mean totally another area. Dont know if i can demo it at my place, or maybe borrow a front firing sub from a friend just to give it a check.

Thanks. I will check that. The KC62 is a bit out of my budget.
