I've looked in the home app. I don't see where the plug is located. In the Home app, I see: Speakers and TV Main Bedroom HomePod I don't have a separate app for the plug.

I have an Homepod mini, and want to use it as a home hub. I bought a couple plugs, added them, but now don't know where to go and find them to set them up. I'm sure this is a very newb question, for which I apologize. But I'm flumoxed. I try to add the plug again, it says it is already in...

Excellent answer. Unfortunately, she does not have an Apple Watch. We are going to have a CarPlay head unit installed soon. Thank you! Mike.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Finally I have a decent client that gives notifications in a timely fashion. Mike.

One of the things that drives me back to Android is email notification for my work IMAP account. With Android, I get almost instantaneous alerts when mail comes in. With iOS, it takes quite a while for the notification to occur. I'm willing to pay for the privilege, if necessary, but I really...

I imported some RAW photos into my iCloud library when I had a Macbook Air. When I look at the info from one of those photos, it shows that it is a 10mp file. I imported some RAW photos into my iCloud library from my PC, and the info from one of those photos shows that they are only 2 mp. It...

I'm sorry. I thought I had logged in. I've done so now. Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing this behavior. Thank you. Mike.

Thank you. I'll take a look, although it talks about iOS development, not MacOS development. But it is somewhere to start. I appreciate the link. Thank you. Mike.

I want to write an application for my own use on MacOS. Not on iOS, just MacOS. I'm a newbie when it comes to development. For the most part, the examples I've found are iOS examples, not Mac examples. My app would be a very simple app to copy files from my SD card onto the local drive...

I currently use IP camera software on my Windows PC to view my three IP security cameras. But I would like to do that on my Macbook Air. I found the Reolink software, which works with my Reolink camera, but it won't see my other two IP cameras which are Wyze cameras with the RTSP patch. Any...

Understood. What I was looking for was an application that would download to a specified directory, rename the images using a 'project code,' and then optionally delete the images from the SD card. I see there isn't anything like that available that I have found so far. So I may just write...

I'll leave it plugged in during the day when I use it, but not at night. Thanks all. I just don't want to kill my battery before I actually use it as a 'laptop.' I am loving it though, after Windows.

I'm a new Mac user, having purchased an M1 Macbook Air 12/23, after 35 years as a Windows user. Previously, with my Windows laptops, if I've left them plugged in constantly, I would see battery degradation over time. Since I mainly bought the Macbook Air as a desktop replacement, for now, I...

I am new Mac user. Previously used Windows since v3.1 . I had an app on Windows called 'Downloader Pro', which would find my SD card reader, find all the images on said SD card and download them to a directory on my hard drive. While it did this, it would create a new folder in say...

So it doesn't signify battery level? SMH. My mistake. Thanks!
