Seems Apple have for some reason made a strange omission. Using podcast on Mac, air playing direct from the application to a pair of HomePods. The only way to control volume is to revert to the application and use the slider. Control panel volume can only control system volume / airplay volume...

yes, and it was perfect on that till the update. Apple have acknowledged it's the new HDR setting. It seems that really, it shouldn't be on as default because (I assume) all but the most recent most expensive monitors will not support it, and cause problems.

Hi! I've been using Apple stuff personally since the Bondi blue iMac was released, and a little before that for work when they were brown boxes. Since, I've used iMacs and MacBook Pros continuously.

The thing with that option, although I don't disagree, is that albums like 'people / faces' will only go back as far as the photos on the service you're using. So say you archive pre 2016 images on one drive, pre 2010 on google and the most recent on iCloud, you'll never see the chance old...

I've just spent another 30 mins on to Apple Care, having been given incorrect info in the past, and this seems fairly concerning if you use iCloud as a mail service for anything important. Correct me / them if I'm wrong... In the past I've been told that Time Machine will back up all mail if...
