    iPhone Shortcut to save photos to a specific album?

    I’ve just started a trial of the Halide photo app. I’m trying to figure out how photos I take with it can automatically be added to an album which I’ve called ‘Halide’ in the Photos app. I’m sure there’s probably a way of doing this with Shortcuts, but I’ve absolutely no idea how. Can anyone...

    Any Terminal Command to Cancel FileVault Encryption?

    Hello Apple friends. In the heat of the moment, at work (while there's discussion perhaps), I accidentally turned On FileVault encryption which is slowing things down and those who need to access my public files (Sharing thing) can't easily access my drive (Public folders) but I was actually...

    3rd party iPhone manager

    Hey, I'm looking for a 3rd party iPhone manager and since there are more of them available, I don't know which one to choose and I felt like this would be a great place to ask. I'm mainly looking for overall quality (no failed operations, corrupt files etc.) but also privacy and security (want a...

    Weird battery cycle count

    A few days ago I received a new battery from iFixit for my Mid-2013 11" MBA. After I installed it, I've done the calibration procedure and did a SMC-reset. Unfortunately...without plugging the MacBook to a energy source. Stupid. From this moment on, my MacBook Air keeps forgetting it's own...

    Chrome Freezing Due To Memory Hog

    Can't even open chrome on macOS Sierra due to memory hogging. It freezes whole OS when Chrome is started up then within a second it uses up all the ram. Won't be able to use chrome on macOS 10.12 beta until google pushes any fixes to it.

    Do 3rd party cables affect the actually day to day battery life of an iPhone 6?

    So, I have a question and I'm sure all of you staff and members can help me answer. This issue has been bothering me for quite some time. So I recently purchased two different 2-in-1 3rd party lightning to micro usb cables. This way I only carry one cable with me whereever I go. They both seem...

    Best Apple Watch Hermès Cuff Band Replica available?

    Hello. I have to admit I have an Apple Watch band problem—my collection has grown up to 16 bands. I change the bands frequently, mostly based on mood, model or outfit, because that's a huge benefit (and a lot of fun) of Apple Watch—and I really enjoy it. However, I would love to have the Apple...

    Problem with mailed WordForMac 2011 Files

    In the last couple of weeks, people have reported being unable to alter the Word files I send them, which has previously not been a problem. I have made no changes to any Word prefs so I figure it must be due to an OS update. I've checked the properties on the docs and they are not checked "read...

Im not an app developer or anything like that, but thought by now there would be some better apps out already. Some apps are dire. Deleted straight away. I regularly try...
