I just got my neighbor to replace her aging Windows PC with a new MacBook Air, and while I was setting it up for her, the only problem I ran into was with the printer. It is a HP LaserjetPro connected via USB (no wireless available). The Mac sees the printer, and I can send something to the...

I have a pair of original HomePods. When I set them as the default output for my AppleTV4K, after about 8 hours or so, they no longer work for Apple Music. I ask for a song and I get “there was a problem with Apple Music, please try again.” The only way I can bring back Apple Music is to break...

I recently set my AppleTV 4K to output to a stereo pair of original HomePods for Atmos audio. It sounds so much better than my 5.1 setup, but I’ve started to have lag with the Apple TV. Pause takes a few seconds, skip ahead takes a few seconds, and worst of all, it often just goes black with the...

I have an extensive Home setup, but recently Home will no longer allow me to add accessories from either my iPhone or my wife’s. It just tells me it was unable to add the accessory (in less than a second), and suggests I reboot my router (I have). I then tried adding the accessories using my...

I just got an Xbox One Bluetooth controller to use with my MacBook Pro/iPhone/iPad particularly with Stadia. I paired the controller with each device with no problem, but it doesn't do anything. I cannot control any game on any device with it. Even games like GRID that I can use my Steel...

I have several items controlled via HomeKit through my HomePod and Apple TV’s. Every so often, an accessory becomes uncontrollable by HomeKit. At the moment, my TV bias light is out of the loop. I say “turn on the tv light” and the HomePod gives me “uhoh something went wrong, please try again”...

I have my HomePod updated, and all three of us have personal requests allowed in the Home App. Unfortunately, personal requests are only working for me. For the rest of my family, the HomePod either "Isn't sure who is speaking," or if asked "who am I?" answers "I think you are John." That's...

Since iOS 13 (and 13.1, et al), I have noticed that my background app refresh isn't working. I only allow a few apps to background refresh, such as Reeder 4 (RSS), and Apple News, but every time I open the apps, they have not refreshed. Both used to background refresh every half hour or so...

Is there any way to get the Siri watch face to display scores from multiple games? I find that I’m following the score of one game, the. Another game starts and the first game disappears. Even turning the crown doesn’t bring back the first game. I wouldn’t mind if I could still check up on the...

My wife and I both have Apple Watch series 3. We both have Watch OS5. I opened walkie talkie and invited her. She opened walkie talkie and invited me. Now, both watches show each of us as “invited.” We can’t actually accept the invites or use walkie talkie. Help?

I discovered that since downloading 11.3 yesterday, the Apple Music app on the "for you" tab just shows a spinning wheel and says "loading." I've left it that way for an hour, no change. All the advice out there is for when Apple Music doesn't work, but everything else works fine. Likewise...

I like the new Hey Siri Give Me Some News function, but it always defaults to NPR so I have to switch it to Fox News every time. Is there a way to get it to default to Fox News?

Yesterday, my WiFi calling just stopped working. I have Sprint and WiFi calling has worked perfectly through two phones now until yesterday. Details: We have 4 iphones on the Network, 3 still work for WiFi calling. WiFi calling no longer works at home or work for this phone. WiFi calling is...

I need to turn on HFP in Maps, but I can’t find the setting in iOS 11. It used to be in the map settings at the bottom right of the maps window, but not anymore. Anyone know where the setting went?

I have noticed that my Internet speed on my MacBook Air has been slower than on my other devices. I see a lot of buffering on video on my MacBook, but not on my iPhone, Apple TV, etc. I ran Speedtest on my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad consecutively, and I get 45 to 55 MBPs on both iPhone and iPad...

I have tons of Apple devices on my Apple ID (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple TV, Apple Watch). My iPad, which only has 32GB storage, keeps trying to download movies, even though I have the automatic downloading for Apps, Music, and Video switched off. I managed to finally figure out that it is...

Ever since the last Apple TV update, whenever I press the microphone and say "what did he say?" It turns on the subtitles like it's supposed to, but it never turns them back off. It is supposed to leave them on for like 30 seconds, but it doesn't do that anymore. What's up?

I have a MacBook Air with 256 Gb drive. I had 127 Gb left. I edited two HD videos on just over an hour each using iMovie, the output the result to a file (each final file was 10 Gb). That left me with 17 Gb of Drive space left. I offloaded the two final files (-20 Gb) then deleted both projects...

I have an iPhone 6s Plus, and I watch TV shows on it regularly. The Internet coverage at work is awful, so I download shows from iTunes for my lunch break. I used to open the Videos app instantly and start watching. Now, with the TV app, it can take up to two minutes to open before I can even...

I'm new to Mac. When using Excel, I would just go to Page and Setup and set it to Landscape. How to I do it in Numbers? I look online and everyone says use the "inspector" but there is nothing about orientation in the inspector.
