    Emails that claimed to be from Apple Store/Support

    There is also an Apple telephone scam going on as well. You get a phone call (we've gotten 3 so far) stating it is from Apple Support and your iCloud account has "issues" that need to be resolved immediately. They give you a number to call or you can hit one of the phone keys and go directly...

    MacBook Pro software problem

    I use CleanMyMac a couple of times a day and haven't had a single problem with it. I've also uninstalled Office 365 with CleanMyMac when I changed subscriptions, reinstalled it and it works fine. I have a feeling you have a defective machine. I would take it back to Apple, or where ever you...

    To Wait or Not To Wait... iPhone 7+ or 7s+

    I don't think anything is confirmed at this point, other than it might not come out until late in the year. Seems to be all speculation at this point base on what Analysts seem to be saying. But with Apple you never know. I just may go for the 128 gig 7 + now and then, if it happens, go for...

    To Wait or Not To Wait... iPhone 7+ or 7s+

    Rene... I currently have an iPhone 7, 32 gig model. I honestly need more memory and would like to move to the 7+ since I do watch a lot of video... news, podcasts, etc. Should I wait for the new iPhone 7s+ or does it make sense to move now. I have a "JUMP" update at T-Mobile and have been...

    XFINITY modems, 2ghz vs 5ghz speed

    It's interesting.... I took back the "new" modem to the Xfinity store and one of the Techs there was a bit upset that the Associate had informed me that "I needed to replace my modem as it is too old and doesn't support 5 ghz". He said that since I am using my own wi-fi network in the house...

    XFINITY modems, 2ghz vs 5ghz speed

    So if I understand this correctly.... by running the internet signal from the Xfinity modem to the AirPort Extreme via the ethernet port on the modem the AirPort Extreme will (in some way) broadcast a true 5 ghz signal. That being the case, then I won't change out the modem as it is operating...

    XFINITY modems, 2ghz vs 5ghz speed

    We currently have the XFINITY - ARRIS Touchstone DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and Wireless Router with Telephony Adapter linked via an Ethernet cable to an Apple AirPort Extreme 2 and then to two additional AirPorts for coverage in the house... it's a fairly large house with 3 floors. The Xfinity...

    Pop-up On Mobile Web Site

    Is is just me or is anyone else getting a phony Facebook pop-up when you go out to the iMore Mobile site via Safari. Its the only web site I get this on and it completely locks up iMore. It says "Close" and then takes you out to a fake contest website. In the meantime, you can't get to iMore...

    Issues with Apple Watch since iOS beta 10.3.2

    Final update... After much frustration I called Apple Support for assistance. They figured out that iOS beta 10.3.2 release 2 was not playing nice with Watch OS 3.2 in terms of my 3rd party apps. So they walked me through restoring the iPhone back to 10.3.1. It took a good hour to get the phone...

    Issues with Apple Watch since iOS beta 10.3.2

    An Update.... I sent a video to the folks that develop Spark that show exactly what is going on with the Apple Watch on 3.2 and Spark. They wrote me back today saying that the issue is with Watch OS 3.2 and they gave me some recommendations to try to fix it. But as of right now... none...

    Issues with Apple Watch since iOS beta 10.3.2

    Rene... Since the last beta iOS update I can't get any of my 3rd party apps to sync with my Apple Watch. I'm using Spark, Tiny Calendar and Flipboard. The watch is on 3.2. and my iPhone 7 is now on 10.3.2. Have you heard of any issues with the last beta update and 3rd party apps? I do know...

    Issue With iOS 10.3 Beta

    Rene... Maybe you can explain more about the Zoom function. I have had iPhones since the iPhone 4s and have never known what this was for.

    Issue With iOS 10.3 Beta

    Rene... This is a bit hard to explain. I'll give it another go. When I close an application or Safari there is a very small screen shot in the background, just for a second, of the last thing I did within the application as it is closing. For example, if I am on iMore and tap the home button to...
