    Apple Studio Display "Overpowered" Big UPS...

    Weird situation posted as an FYI as much as anything else. I have a M1 Mac Mini (base) connected to an Apple Studio Display. Both have been trouble-free. I got home from work at 6am today and turned on my MM/ASD to check email. Used it for about an hour, no issues. Put it to sleep (via ...

    Longstanding bug with iOS alarm function

    Anyone who uses the alarm feature of the clock in iOS knows that sometimes when you press "stop" after an alarm sounds, the alarm stops and shuts off. Other times, it stops but sounds again later. This is a bug that has persisted in iOS for as long as I can remember. Is there a trick to getting...

    Does anyone know if there's any way to get a media-playing HomePod alarm to send its audio to networked AirPlay audio that's already set up through my Apple ecosystem? Thanks.

    iOS 15 Alarm Bug on iPhone X after upgrading from iOS 11?

    Recently upgraded my iPhone X directly from iOS 11 to iOS 15 finally. It wasn't straightforward as I had to plug it into my PC to get it to install the update. Anyway, I had a daily alarm set @ 8 AM every weekday before the upgrade. It looks like the clock app is different on the new iOS. I...

    Airtag for Checked Bags

    I understand, that Apple has reduced the alert time for AirTags separated from their owners to 8-24 hours. I was planning to use my AirTags for tracking my checked baggage on multi-leg long distance flights. I could well be separated from my bags for more than 8 hours. Therefore, I assume the...

    Best band for strongest Taptic feedback feel?

    Hi everyone, I wear my watch during sleep, and I really enjoy using the silent/Taptic-based alarm function to wake up. Unfortunately I can’t always feel the vibration on my wrist on some days and end up oversleeping. In your experience, which bands are most helpful in noticing the Taptic...

    Anyone having problems with the iPhones alarm clock?

    So for the longest time now, it seems like the iPhone alarm clock isn’t working the way it should. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I wake up and look at my phone only to look at the time and realize I’m super late waking up. The display on the screen looks normal, as if an...

    iPhone If you're like me and you travel a lot by train or bus, you might like my new app - Glarm! Easy location-based alarms

    If you're like me and you travel a lot by train, or bus you might not always recognize railway stations or tell quickly how far is your stop, so you start nervously checking the time and position on the map. With Glarm you can set alarm to ring, let's say 30 kilometres from your destination and...

    HomePod On the HomePod, can you play music as a wake-up alarm?

    This wasn't possible under the initial release nearly two years ago, it was still missing in the iOS 12 update, and now that we have iOS 13 is this STILL not possible? What I want is a way to say, "Hey Siri, play my Morning Playlist at 7:15AM." Interestingly enough, my $30 Google Mini can do...

    iPhone XS iPhone XS Sound/Alarm Problems

    So yesterday morning I had unfortunately slept through my alarm and missed an appointment (wasn’t a required meeting, thank goodness) but I thought this was odd, as I have never missed/slept through an alarm that I had used on my iPhone. Afterwards when I was using my phone with the mute switch...

    iPhone Location based reminder alarm with vibration and message

    I'm looking for an iOS app that would do the following: I realize I need to buy something, let's say a screwdriver. But it's not urgent. What I want is to be reminded of this when I'm walking near the screwdriver shop. However, it's always very crowded and noisy at that location. There are many...

    HomePod Is there any way to set an alarm to start a music playlist in iOS 12?

    This wasn't possible in iOS 11, alarms could only play a single, Apple-provided alarm sound. Seem like this capability should have been present on the original HomePod release and if it is still missing then something is seriously wrong with the HomePod development team (IMO). Well, they did add...
