    Can't pair S3 after update

    So I updated my S3 last night (had to do the unpair and update process, despite having almost nothing on it). Now it's stuck in setup mode, and my phone refuses to connect to it. I've restarted them both countless times. When I go to pair on my phone, the camera viewfinder won't display, it's...

    Apple isn’t serious about Series 3 updates…

    What the heck? Two months ago I was frustrated by the fact that I couldn’t do anything to update my Series 3 Watch. I had to erease everything and then it finally updated. Since then it spent all this time on the charger. I didn’t restore the backup, didn’t set anything up, it was just erased...

    So I went down some rabbit hole after trying to get my AirPods Max to update and noticing that they weren't updating after following all voodoo steps that I saw online. I saw this tweet which says that you could debug the process with the Console app on Mac. After playing around with it, here's...

    macOS apps not updating properly

    Whenever I try to update apps on my Mac I continually face an issue. The download for the app update will begin and will reach the point of installation.

    I'm running Mac OS Catalina on my 2019 MacBook Pro. I have an administrator account, where I usually do all the updates, and another account. Recently, for instance, there was an update to iMovie that I did in the administrator account and the App Store is showing it as recently updated. But if...

    Hello and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, I have a mid-2012 13” MBP running on 10.12.6 Sierra, which I’ve been trying to update to the latest OS for some time now.

    Logic Won't Update Even Though I Know It's Compatible

    Wasn't sure whether to put this in Pro Audio or here, but I went for here because I figure ultimately that's a Mac App Store issue, not an issue with Logic itself. So here's the thing… I have a Mac Pro 5,1 running Mojave, and Logic Pro X 10.4.8 running on it. I also have a MacBook Pro...

    Catalina update (Nov. 5, 2020) broke display mirroring

    I usually run my 2017 MacBook Pro connected to an external monitor. Since installing the supplemental update to Catalina (10.15.7, released Nov. 5, 2020), display mirroring no longer functions properly. It hops back and forth incessantly, alternately blanking the external monitor but leaving the...

    Disappeared Siri Contact Suggestions when Sharing

    Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I no longer have contact suggestions in my share sheet. I verified that Settings > Siri & Search > Suggestions when Sharing is toggled on. Curious if it’s a known bug in the new update. This is happening on both my iPhone and iPad.

    Security update / Supplemental update

    Hi! I had installed the security update 2020-005, which slowed my Mac to unbelievably low levels so I had to restore using a snapshot. It took my Mac back to just before installing the security update and now it's working fine. I've noticed that there's a supplemental update, but the security...
