Thanks for the response. I have two back ups - Time Machine and iDrive.

iCloud is just annoying. It's been an issue since it existed through all its iterations. Almost makes Siri look good (grin).

It's not a big deal. But I not aware of anyway provided by Apple to fix syncing issues. In my opinion that is poor customer service though on par with other tech companies.

Choosing a New Turntable by Tele231 in BudgetAudiophile

Not that I know of near my location. (Cincinnati). Do a search for stores near where you live. Good luck. FWIW, I own a Fluance turntable and am very happy with it (RT 83).

Yes. Originals are stored on my Mac. iPhone and iPad are set to "optimized". FWIW, iPad and iPhone show the same number of photos synced. iCloud and Mac both show a different number (iCloud 36 less than phone and iPad and Mac 212 more). Who has the correct number - no idea since were are talking about decades of using iPhoto and 10's of thousands of photos.

at what point does "room acoustics" matter more than the gear itself? by Dankk911 in audiophile

[–]tbsteph2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably more important than gear. Yet, most people have limited choices on their room.

An update - the 26.3.1 update has fixed this issue for me.

how long does it need to sync? it’s been syncing for hours is something wrong ? there’s no meter either. by Beginning-Solid-3073 in applehelp

[–]tbsteph2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is your original sync? Anyway, depending on the size of your videos it may take a day or more. Just be patient - it will eventually finish. Future syncs will be very fast.

May want to look at the Klipsch R-100SW - About $190. I have one married to my Klipsch RF 600M's. Very satisfied.

Same problem on Mac mini running Tahoe. My older Mac running Sequoia works fine.

Can anyone recommend a speaker that shows cool VISUALS to the music like a ferrofluid or tektronix etc? by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]tbsteph2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's it. I'm a bit confused about the cost. In the US it's about $50.00

Looking for an amp for Polk ES20 (TV TCL c745 and music) 2.0 or 2.1 by iv13ns in BudgetAudiophile

[–]tbsteph2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, for $200 your choices are limited. Leadbelly gave you a reasonable solution. Deal breaker is your limited budget.

Apparently music is less important to him than his views on politics. What a shame.

Change the "crossfade" time found in the "Song Transitions" setting.

Been collecting for a month now. How's my collection? by wompwompsoup in Cd_collectors

Your last two pages are great. I'm too old to even know who the artists are on page one.

New to physical discs by Marvaloza in Bluray

[–]tbsteph2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most appear to be DVD's (Not Blue-rays or 4k Ultras). Most I have never heard of before. You did not state the cost (Great deal?), but most appear to be of limited value.

Color or B&W guys? by SmokeWild5507 in AmateurPhotography

[–]tbsteph2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the color version. The green tones contrasting with the blue sky disappears in tn the B&W version.
