    Transfer text files from iPad to iPhone via Bluetooth

    (Apologies if you've seen this twice... I posted to the Tips & Tricks forum earlier.) I'm looking for a way to create a text file on my iPad and transfer it to my iPhone using only Bluetooth, no wifi. Wifi isn't available, and my iPad is an older version that doesn't support AirDrop. I've found...

    Control Center Bluetooth settings

    I recently purchased a bluetooth adapter for an old speaker with the original iPod dock, which works great. (I got the Samsom BT30 that Wirecutter recommended.) However, I always have to manually reconnect it by going to Settings / Bluetooth / My Devices and selecting it there. It does not...

Airdrop on my MacBook pro works fine when connecting to the other macbook pro in our house (on the same network). But I cannot connect from my iPhone to either of the MacBook pros. Neither shows up...

    Multiple Macs in office, keyboards interfering with each other!

    Ok hold the jokes. We have 6 x 27" iMacs in the office, all running 10.12.5, models range from late 2013 to this year. All are on the same wifi network, but no direct file sharing between each Mac (all data shared via Dropbox), and each logged in user is unique (no same user names on different...

    Savfy True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Headphones review

    The True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Earphones from Savfy mimic a lot of what the new Apple Airpods do but in a more generic fashion. These come nicely packaged with a rechargeable protective case, a pair each of small, medium & large silicon tips, a Micro USB cable and user manual. While this...

Then it works just fine, until...

    Hi, I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard that works well with Macs and has the Insert/Delete/Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys. This Macbook is used mostly for software development, and having to press Fn-Up to page up is killing me! I really like the slim feel of my other computer's wired Apple...

    2016 Macbook Pro 15" Bluetooth issues on Windows 10

    After installing Windows 10 via bootcamp on 2016 Macbook Pro 15", I noticed that Bluetooth is very unreliable. Since bluetooth works flawlessly in macOS, I can only asume that the reason for this issues are poorly developed drivers. I tried a logitech M557 mouse, Creative bluetooth Headphone...

    Choppy mouse on macOS Sierra 10.12.3? (Both trackpad and wired)

    My mouse movement periodically becomes choppy/jumpy after maybe an hour of use. The problem goes away temporarily with a reboot, but it returns before long. This seems to happen regardless of RAM usage (I'm always at about 3.25/4.0GB used). The choppiness is exactly what you'd expect from a...
