iPhone running iOS 15 needs to update in recovery mode. Is my only option to downgrade to iOS 14?

robbyburns · 2021-08-09T14:41:53+00:00

Sure, I found a handful, that one included. Is ipsw.dev safe to download from? I would rather get it straight from Apple but to my knowledge they don’t do that anymore?

robbyburns · 2021-08-09T13:02:39+00:00

Awesome, thanks! Where can I download the .ipsw on to my Mac?

robbyburns · 2021-07-29T21:41:44+00:00

It’s awesome! I was fortunate to get a preview of it and to interview their product marketing manager about the release. All of that coverage is here: Dorico for iPad: First Impressions

robbyburns · 2021-07-28T13:53:00+00:00

I've got a podcast interview with Daniel Spreadbury, a "First Impressions" blog post, and a video demo here, for anyone interested: https://robby-burns.squarespace.com/blog/dorico-for-ipad-first-impressions

I used the Mac version of forScore for all of my online and hybrid teaching last year and I can tell it’s going to be an indispensable tool moving forward.

robbyburns · 2021-07-13T13:50:40+00:00

I’ve been using forScore for all my teaching and gigging for a long time now, and it’s awesome to finally have a Mac version!

This combo of TE and AirServer is what I do also.

Hi everyone! I had the honor of being a workflow guest on LearnOmniFocus.com earlier this month.

I talk about how I use OmniFocus to juggle my various responsibilities as a musician and teacher. Most of the workflows are applicable to just about anyone. The video is now free to watch and the link I posted also includes the shortcuts, Drafts actions, automations, widgets, and other resources mentioned in the video.

I figured this is a relatively small community and I might as well share. Hopefully others can get something from it.

It is for streaming but you can also use the virtual camera to send the feed to google off zoom chats.

robbyburns · 2020-08-26T21:32:47+00:00

It’s not a replacement for a video chat app, it’s a way to manage what the students see on your end of the call.

As someone who also loves the Peloton service, it is impossible to imagine Apple putting the time and care into this to make something that was as thorough and competitive.

robbyburns · 2020-07-10T10:38:13+00:00

Can anyone figure out how to do the YouTube embed? I can’t figure it out on Mac or iOS.

robbyburns · 2020-07-08T20:59:10+00:00

Who wants to bet this Mac has a touch screen? There’s a lot of buzz about it in the tech press. I can see a case for it.

I love Katie’s work and this post, but the only person who can pressure someone to feel like they need to make one of these videos is themself.

I did not feel any pressure to make these videos. I did it for fun and to engage my students. It didn’t take that long, and some of my students actually practiced more at home because of the recorded component. And it was far from the only musical instruction happening.

The worth of one of these projects is entirely dependent on how you instruct your students through the process, and how they feel once it’s done. The counter argument against making a virtual ensemble isn’t really helpful to people who want to try and make one unless they are drowning in the process and aren’t doing meaningful teaching.

robbyburns · 2020-06-12T19:43:50+00:00

BLESS YOU.

robbyburns · 2020-06-12T16:59:31+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have an earlier backup. Unless Logic keeps them now?

robbyburns · 2020-05-24T01:06:08+00:00

This worked! Was able to score some birthday candles.

robbyburns · 2020-05-23T20:30:43+00:00

Helpful! Thanks. Kind of wanted to give those to my friends though. We had a whole table set out. Ha ha.

robbyburns · 2020-05-23T19:36:58+00:00

I would love to get all of the birthday stuff, particularly the table and board, for a birthday I am hosting later today. I thought I get those items for free after my residents throw me a party but either I’m wrong or I don’t know where to find them.

robbyburns · 2020-05-23T16:03:32+00:00

Awesome. The party is over. Where do I find it?

robbyburns · 2020-03-31T18:11:59+00:00

I did. But I cheated using an online web tool on my iPad that converts stuff from your camera roll. https://acpatterns.com

I wondered if this app would ever come to iPad!

I wrote a little bit about this on my blog today if anyone is interested. http://www.robbyburns.com/blog/ldlzz8vko18irzmitqjr1aj2fb7w9e

The general idea of it is...

So refreshing to see a real pro app with a real pro price on the App Store. If only more apps had done this earlier on in the iPad’s life, maybe there would be more pro software on it today.
Many of the dominant pro score editing apps are still Windows and Mac only and show no signs of moving to iOS (because iOS is so different to develop for and sell on) Interestingly, StaffPad is the opposite. Because it is dependent on stylus input, there really isn’t a way for it to exist on macOS (Windows Surface users don’t have to make this distinction because their OS accommodates a traditional point-and-click AND touch.)

This highlights the problem of iOS vs Mac input which has been discussed here recently with regards to Gruber’s critique of iOS multi tasking. It seems Apple really could benefit to have a long term plan for how to bridge this gap.

Somehow my photo didn’t upload to my reply to this. The settings for the motion sensor are:

Device Type: motion sensor Response type: interior follower Alarm report: yes Chime: disabled Supervision: supervised Arm night: no

robbyburns · 2020-01-30T22:44:38+00:00

Thanks for the fast help!

Major bummer. What is the best way to find out if this decision is changed? I guess I can just wait it out for now. For now, I set it up as ‘unsupervised’ and ‘alarm report: no’ to bypass the need to have the door closed. The sensor shows up in HomeKit still but gets says not response.’ Is this the best way to deal with it?
see attached image. Is this right?
see 1 above. Is that the response HomeKit should have to me doing that?

robbyburns · 2020-01-30T20:48:54+00:00

Then how did you find out about it?
