    iMac prefer ethernet over WiFi

    I have my 2017 iMac hooked up with an ethernet cable, which obviously gives me speeds of approximately 1 Gbit/s. Useful for me for file transfers in my network etc. Recently I got myself a Watch Series 3, which I use to unlock the iMac. This requires WiFi to be enabled on the iMac. So far so...

    iOS 11.2 Stopping Music with Watch Notifications

    Updated to 11.2 yesterday. Today was doing my exercises with each notification through the watch (halfway point, exercise ring closed, etc.) music would stop and require me to restart it each time. Very annoying.

    Apple Watch As My Primary Device

    Jony Ive was recently quoted when asked what he regrets about the iPhone is "Perhaps its constant use." I've wondered about that and how to return to living in the real world while still having access to the power of the internet with me wherever I go. The answer is the Apple Watch. Unlike an...

    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...

    Notifications Showing up Odd on Watch OS 4?

    This never happened in Watch OS 3. I would get notifications from apps, even apps that didn't have a supported Apple Watch app and I would see the application image, now I see this. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on the Apple Watch Series 3 if that makes a difference.

    Music sync is incredibly slow

    Hi, I just bought a new Series 3, my first watch. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it takes forever to sync just a few albums. Well over an hour! From what I understand, it's using Bluetooth to sync. Why? If the watch has to be docked in order to sync, power consumption shouldn't...

    HR Resting rate - Series 0

    I found this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666 "Apple Watch measures your heart rate throughout the day when you’re still, and periodically when you’re walking (Apple Watch Series 1 or later)." So, the series 0 used to do this with OS3 but not any more with os4. If you have a series 0...

    Prior to iOS 11 and Watch OS 4 when I got a notification on my watch, like say a WhatsApp message, if I unlocked my phone without interacting with the watch notification, the banner notification on the phone would still slide down and I could tap it to take me into the app. Now, if I get the...
