    Is there a fix for Google's image search hobbling for SAFARI?

    This is what I'm talking about (settlement with Getty leads to removal of "View Image" and "Search by Image"): https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/internet-rages-after-google-removes-view-image-button-bowing-to-getty/ There are plugin workarounds for other browsers, but I don't see one for...

    Safari keeps using DuckDuckGo even though it is set to use Google

    If I type a search into the address / search bar on Safari it takes me to DuckDuckGo. I have checked the settings / preferences and Google is set as my chosen search engine. I have tried selecting Yahoo, Bing etc but all have the same outcome. I don’t suppose anyone has any ideas why this is...

    iOS mail or gmail AND outlook?

    I have the iPhone X, I have email with outlook and gmail, I’ve been using the official apps for both but am tempted to use the built in mail app but I’m concerned that as gmail has to use fetch it will drain the battery? I would want it to fetch new mail as often as possible so every 15 minuets...

    Iphone with google photos

    My iphone has very limited free space, and I am looking for a cloud where I can save photos, safely store them there or save to my ext hard drive, and then delete from my phone. I have these questions though: 1. Apple's iCloud seems to not be a good option because if you delete the photo from...

    iCloud account not sharing with Google account

    I cannot get iCloud events to appear in my Google Calendar. I know that Google cannot fetch anything from iCloud, but I do know that I can subscribe (or share) my iCloud calendars with my Google account. The problem is that I keep getting errors when I try to share with my Google account...

    Problems with Gmail since Sierra

    A couple weeks ago, I updated my iMac from MacOS 10.10 Yosemite to MacOS 10.12 Sierra. In doing so, I encountered a confusing and vexing glitch. I have a personal Gmail account, set to IMAP. I have the Gmail account setup as an internet account on my iMac. I also have my Gmail set up to work...

    iPhone X - Food for thought

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but just had a thought........ What if all these story's we are hearing about low supply, short supply, delays RE iPhone X is coming directly from Apple, I mean let's be fair it's nothing but speculation at this moment in time...

    Who Uses Google Voice?

    Who Uses Google Voice? I do get Google Voice notifications on my AW3 with LTE, but I suspect it’s via my iPhone. I can hit “Reply” from the message and it works but, again, I think it’s all iPhone doing it. That’s fine, but for those times when I'm away from my iPhone, I would like to compose...

    Touch Bar in Google Docs?

    Hey everyone! So I love using the text editing features that appear on the touch bar when typing in Pages, Word, or other text boxes that allow for the use of bold, italicized, underlined, and other text editing and customization features. For some reason, though, MacOS doesn't show these...

    "Project Fi" viable?

    Browsing the Google phones, due to iPhone 8/X debacle, I see Pixels come with a "Project Fi" SIM card. It says $20/month and $10/GB, and my zip code is covered. I'd like to hear from anyone actively using this. So I can drop AT&T? How is the coverage? Are there any catches? Will it work with...

    iPad Anyone else struggling with Google Play Music app?

    As per title, is it just me or is something horribly wrong with Google Play Music on iOS? I strongly prefer the radio stations in Play Music over Apple Music, and thanks to having an Android phone I haven't noticed any issues on mobile. But now that I have the current gen 9.7" iPad I'm using the...

    Blocking the Google Translate bar

    I really like that Safari in High Sierra can actively block cross-site following, but there is one drawback. The Google Translate bar that keeps reappearing every few days. Of course, the tracking prevention prevents it from remembering that I don't want, but I don't want it at all. Is there a...

    Tab Over in Google Sheets (iPad)

    Hi everyone. I use Google Sheets frequently and am working on my iPad more and more. The one thing I really miss is being able to use the Tab key to move to the next horizontal cell. When hitting Return, it brings me to the next cell down which isn't as helpful for entering data across a...

    Google keyboard built-in ?

    I've been on Android for many, many years and for 2-3 years, have used "swipe" keyboarding input a lot. Since Apple's default keyboard has no support, I installed Google's keyboard for iOS. After installing it, you have to manually "Add New Keyboard..." and so on. Well, when I look in the...

    Google/YouTube link delay in Safari?

    Hey everyone, I noticed that about 25% of the time, links I click in a Google Search listing or YouTube links of any kind won't "click" the first time. The loading bar doesn't appear, and repeatedly clicking it doesn't change anything. The only solution is to click it once, then sit back and...
