    Since updating my M1 MBA to Monterey, I am not able to create a Time Machine backup on my HP SSD USB 3.0 external hard drive. I've erased, repartitioned, formatted the drive multiple times, made sure the disk was in the correct format, It will go through the entire process of creating the...

    iMore is has become Unusable

    Re: Imore is has become Unusable It's garbage. The only way to access the forums from the home page is to actually open an article and then click the forums link on the right. The forum link on the home page on the left, in the yellow is non functional. In fact none of those links work.

    iOS 11 Public Beta 2

    Re: iOS 11 Public Beta 2 available Yeah, stability-wise it's a noticeable improvement, but my battery life has definitely taken a hit. I am going to give it a couple more days to settle out before I make a final call on the battery.

    How many smart watches do you have?

    One, soon to be two. I have an LG Urbane that is almost two years old that I have loved, but it’s not pairing with my iPhone any longer (probably because iOS 11 beta, but hey, any excuse) so I have an Apple Watch S1 on the way.

    Nagging issues in iOS 11 (so far)

    I don’t like that I can no longer swipe notifications away on the lock screen or when I pull down the notification shade. I hope that it will show back up in the final release version.

    WiFi Sharing

    Did a search and didn’t find anything, but I just wanted to call out a neat feature that I just ran across. WiFi Sharing. If you have an iOS device that you want to connect to a WiFi network, simply place it near another iOS device that is connected to the network and select the network. Then a...

    VZW unlimited throttle speeds

    A good analogy is a super-highway with an HOV lane. Under 22Gb you are in the HOV lane and move at highway speed or better. Once you pass 22GB, you are moved over to the regular lanes, and if there's not a lot of traffic, you stay at highway speeds or better. But if you hit a spot of heavy...

    Who is NOT getting an iPhone 8?

    Re: Who is NOT getting iPhone 8 I'm keeping my 7 till it's paid off in late 2018, just in time for the 9, lol. Reason being is that I got a promo trade-in and am paying $4/month for my jet black 128GB 7, and it's doing everything I could ask for.

    What would it take for you to not upgrade to the iPhone 8?

    The fact that A) I am perfectly satisfied with my iPhone 7; and B) I still have about a year and a half left on my DPP ($4/month due to promo) I'll most likely hold off. By the time my DPP is satisfied, the iPhone 9, or whatever it'll be called, should be released and then I'll look into...

    Battery still not right

    Must be joking. That's some very good battery life. I'm at 66% but have 12hr standby and 3hr20m usage. So you got me beat!

    Can I upgrade to an iPhone 7 and then sell it on eBay without activating it?

    No, if he bought it on contract it wouldn't be clear for resale until the contract is satisfied. Alternately if he is able to transfer an upgrade from an upgrade eligible line to the contract line, then upgrade and get an inexpensive device paying full retail. That may clear it up for sale as...

    Can I upgrade to an iPhone 7 and then sell it on eBay without activating it?

    Then yep, as long as it's not tied to a DPP then it's good to go.
