So ... my step daughter today got an Apple Watch 3 for her birthday - but the setup process kept blowing up when attempting to update the watch. It would "pair" then ask for LEFT or RIGHT preference. As soon as you selected one or the other, it would say "could not pair" and it would unpair...

First post here... Thanks for reading. I’m a fan of SSDs and have been using them in my (now ancient) iMacs. I am ready to pony up for a new 2019 iMac, but am not wanting to shell out what they ask for SSDs inside. I’m not afraid to install SSDs inside the machine, but figure I can wait until...

Would anyone know of any existing solutions to simultaneously connect both an LG Ultrafine 5K display with a Dell 27" 4K display?

Hey y'all, I just installed Windows 7 a few months ago and have recently started tweaking it to my liking! I'd like to take the time to show off my setup and maybe inspire others to do the same!

Here's the finished...
I ask for help to proceed with data migration from my old 2011 iMac to a new 2017 retina iMac.
My doubt comes from the fact that the old iMac contains 2 hard drives, one 256GB SSD for OS and apps, and one 1TB HDD with relocated home folder inside, with documents and personal files; the new one...
Hey!
Finally on the road to make everything work on my Mac Pro 5.1 in windows 8.1 at the moment.
One thing that is different is of course that you have to install separate SSD drivers compared to OS X.

Just want to hear how you personally will be setting up your iPhone X. Will you be doing it from a backup of a previous iPhone, thus saving time, or will you set up your iPhone X as a new device? Vote in the poll and post a reply telling us why you made that choice.
If I buy an iPhone in China, will the set up be different? I have read in various sites about people complaining that their iPhone is in Chinese. I thought you are to choose your language of choice during setup. Another thing is that if I buy this iPhone in China and I set it up using English...
Hello. I am an undergraduate student about to enter the realm of postgraduate research, and am looking to upgrade/simplify my setup. My current setup consists of two Macs, and I feel that things could be much simpler with a single computer. I feel that, for me at least, it's unnecessary to own...
Hi guys,
So, I got a new Lacie d2 Quadra USB 3.0 and as I usually would do with Lacie hard drives, tried to immediately format it using Disk Utility. The problem is that it seems this time one should only use the Setup Assistant included in the disk. By formating, the setup assistant and ReadMe...

Some weeks ago I've been planing to finally archive all my photos in the right way.
Mi iPhone is full of pics and my free iCloud account can't store all my Reflex photos.
So... my plan is to setup Photos on OSX as my main Library, without sync it with iCloud. So, that way I could store all my...
Hello. How do you set up your home screen, and why do you set it up that way? (Screenshots are encouraged, but not required)
I set mine up with my most used apps (which happen to all be Microsoft) and folders. I don't have a second page because it feels cluttered.
What about you?
