I don't usually look at my workout maps unless I run an unfamiliar route...but sure enough, the gps data is missing from my runs since I updated. I'm also getting poor battery performance on my Apple Watch 4 since the update as well. ihatescre…

I use a mid-2012 MacBook Pro for work. Since my job primarily involves “office“ type tasks (so no heavy video editing or anything), I have thought about getting an iPad Pro as my sole work computer when the MBP kicks the bucket. I can’t think of a …

apple ][ said: I still have a third gen Apple TV 3. I didn't think that it would ever be seeing any more additions, but I was thankfully wrong. Also an Apple TV 3 user. Here's something I haven't found documentation for: Is it possible to …

Nice reviews. A couple questions: 1) The last review (Yootech) mentions that the lights can be turned off if you'd like to charge your phone next to you while you sleep. I'd be interested in hearing from others' experience about quality Qi chargers…

We have an Ecobee 3, and the thermostat itself is wonderful. There is a steep learning curve if you want to use many of the features (behaviors when motion is detected, not detected, how to turn that on and off in the schedule, etc.), but perhaps th…

OneNote's strengths are in the fact that it handles tons of notes and notebooks well. I use it for keeping notes in meetings, house projects, writing, etc. One feature I like is the ability to attach files to notes, and there are plug-ins available …

I'd love to see a comparison of the low-data plans. I'm in range of wifi most of the time, don't travel for my job much, and live in an area where the four providers have good coverage, so for our family, price is the biggest factor.

It's interesting to reflect on the history of Apple and where they are now. On one hand, the products that get the most press are different—mobile today, desktop/laptops back them. But still, the best selling point (at least when steer people toward…

Wasn't able to access iCloud calendars via the Calendar app on my Mac or iCloud.com, and my iCloud drive on my Mac was wonky. As of now, I'm back up and running.

Is there any data on how many Mac users have upgraded their RAM and hard drive after purchase, especially in years past when it was easier for a typical user to do it on their own? For me, being able to do those upgrades myself was a selling point i…
