    Hi! If I use my Spotify on my iPhone to AirPlay to my HomePod and I have the Spotify app installed on my AW7, then the Spotify app on the watch won't allow me to use the digital crown to control the volume. However, if I delete the Spotify app on my watch and the "default media player...

    Program Requires Password for every change and opening

    Hi, Please, don't give me a lecture on "the password fail-safe protects your system". Of course it does, I'm not stupid. It's annoying to have to keep typing in a password when all I want to do is change one small computer control. I coded my own system monitoring program. It monitors Ghz...

    Use iPhone to remote control another?

    I am using my iPhone 7 for product photography. The iPhone is clamped in a bracket and that makes it hard to use. Also when it is set up and level I don't want to disturb it. I would like to remote control the iPhone 7 to use the spirit level, camera and camera apps. I'd also like switch...

    How Airpods and Apple Watch need to work

    I'm really finding i miss those inline controls of the standard wired earpods. They had everything you need. I got an apple watch as i knew i wanted the airpods and i knew they didn't come with controls. No one wants to use Siri on the bus, train and you can't even on a plane. Being Australian...

    iPad Pro Mission Control for iPad Pro

    Alright, this is something that I have wanted for a long time now. Mission Control on the iPad. It would function just the same way it does on the Mac but you wouldn't have multiple desktops. You would be able to see multiple pages of apps that you are currently working with. They wouldn't all...
