    Home Homekit accessory not showing up for all users.

    So I have some new shiny Lifx Z led Strip lights (which were an absolute nightmare to join by the way). They appear for me as the main Home user but do not appear for anyone else in the family. Its odd, across all devices where I am signed in, they appear. But for anyone else they don't. This...

    Duplicate folders on root level

    Hello experts, I was playing around in the Terminal yesterday learning some basic navigation commands from some video tutorials. I was able to display all the Folders and Files in the Root of my computer. I was also able to copy that info to a text file. Looking at it today, I think there are...

    Unresponsive Home buttons in Control Center

    Hi, Does anybody else have this issue? I'm currently using iOS 14.3 RC2 in an iPhone 12 Pro but I'm pretty sure it was already happening with any of the 14.x versions: Randomly, and once in a while (so, not every day or so) the Home buttons in the control center become unresponsive. When I...

    iPhone X App Library Only vs Hidden Home Screens

    Which have you found yourself using more so far? I can't really find much of a use for hiding home screens, when you can just move an app entirely being "library view only." Initially, I planned to keep everything on home screens - but hidden - for the sake of being able to quickly take stock of...

    HomePod HomePod turns on TV/ATV randomly and switches states

    Hi, everyone. Every day, I ask my HomePod to play a radio station. Usually with zero issues. On occasion, it starts playing but turns on the AppleTV and therefore the TV as well. The HomePod isn’t set to airplay to the TV/ATV and the Home app shows both ATV and the HomePod as ‘playing’ when...

    A Most Elegant Home Server

    Recently moved into a new place with my partner and while I'm a :apple: addict she'd rather I don't infest the vibe of the whole house with tech. We like to play Minecraft together on our own server and I like hosting other simple servers from home. I was using a 2007 Mac Mini but the 3GB Ram...

    I'm just new in Mac (macOS Mojave 10.14.6 - MacBook Pro 15", 2019) because besides being more ergonomic, it has some specific keys used in my language. In addition there are some other very useful keys: "print screen", "page up", "page down", "home" and "end". Unfortunately I found that they are...

    Stuck with a broken home button? Jailbreak right now!

    I am one of these people who have been desperately holding onto my iPhone 6s. With a new battery, I still believe this is one of the best, most utilitarian phones available. (Headphone jack, 3D Touch, works with AirPods, etc.) To my dismay, my physical home button finally stopped responding...
