Apple Maps is renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Change is rolling out now.

US: Lake America
Canada: Lake Ontario
International: Both names

The computer is still on, and i can use it with external display, I've tried everything from recovery mode to safe mode to repeatedley turning it on and off countless times, to no avail. Sometimes it shows the backlight on a blank \black screen, but the screen is mostly completely off. One time it got back to normal but as soon as I closed and reopend it it was fucked again. 2022 Macbook Air M2

Forgive the flair if it is incorrect, not sure what else would fit (and if there's a better sub to go to for this please let me know)

Was digging through some boxes earlier today when I came across my dad's old iPod Touch 2nd Gen, and wanted to see if it still worked

I've had it plugged to my old 30-pin iPad charger for about 3 hours now, and it's been flashing between this screen and one with the Apple logo, what's wrong with it? I assume some part of its hardware is shot or just eroded, but I would like to have a more accurate idea before I take it to the Apple store or something like that

Thanks in advance!

All other handoff features work, except copy & paste. I've turned it off and on, logged out and in. Everything is on bluetooth and on the same network. I don't know what else to try.

Basically what the title says. I’m staying with my dad currently. The Amazon cube and TV showed up and connected up after the update. Neither I even connected to, but that’s a different issue. Why can I not remove these? I don’t want them there and I don’t want to be connected. It’s not affecting audio or anything at this time but I should be able to remove anything, it’s ridiculous to not allow that

Is anyone else having this issue? I’ve done your standard trouble shooting/reset/power off/etc stuff.

Edit: I added and clarified the fact that I was specifically meaning the Amazon devices

I just bought a pencil pro and did what the support website said in letting it charge on the side of the iPad if it wasn't pairing, my iPad is up to date, and Bluetooth is on. Is there something im missing? The pencil popup isnt happening at all and im a first time apple user so any advice would be appreciated thank you!

I have an old iPhone 11 that is connected to my iCloud account. My bf broke his phone and is going to borrow my old phone as an emergency phone until he buys another one.

I just unlocked it to clear it, and it contains messages from deceased relatives that I would really like to have saved in my phone (since I got my current phone I’ve had that messages automatically deletes after 30 days so they’re not on my current phone).

How do I transfer the messages?

I upgraded my phone back in march from my iPhone 13 to this 16 plus and I noticed my old journal entries were gone. I did some research and it said that it may take time for them to sync to my new phone and since then nothing has changed. Is there any way for me to get them back??

Team,

Today, on my first day as CEO, I just wanted to send a quick note to thank everyone for the warm wishes. I also want to extend my deep appreciation to Tim for sharing so much of his knowledge and experience during this transition, and more importantly, for everything he contributed to Apple over the years. We’re so lucky to have had a CEO who led with his values and with such decency and humanity. We are all better for it, and I’m so grateful he’ll be our executive chairman.

I’m honored to be stepping into this role at what is truly the greatest company in the world, and I am so excited about everything we have in store. We have a huge launch next week that’s going to be phenomenal. Thanks for everything you’ve all done to make it possible.

I’m just as excited about what lies beyond that, including the incredible products already in the works and the ones we haven’t even imagined yet that we’ll dream up and create together. There’s no team in the world I’d rather build the future with.

More to come. In the meantime, thanks for your excellent work!

John

Is it possible for someone unknown to you to send you a reaction to a specific workout if you're only sharing with select people?

Weirdly got a message with a preset 3 target emojis reaction to a activity I had completed earlier (didn't help that in Messages on Mac it strips the activity from the message so looks like someone annonymous was oddly pissed at me).

The odd thing is that while I do share my activity, I share it with only 3 people and none of them have this number nor have recently changed numbers (edit: none of them sent it either).

Wondering if this is a "known" thing. Obviously can just brush it off as some glitch or spammers finding a new way to start a conversation but its offputting that this would be possible.

The display is flickering, and sometimes visual artifacts appear where the previous window/tab remains partially visible and overlaps with the current one, as if the screen isn’t refreshing properly.

Any idea what's the cause? how much will cost? Will I need to change entire display?

So I get a notification that my storage is almost full and I see the first picture, I screenshotted it to show to someone, I look up an article about debloating iOS or system data, dont really learn much from it or do anything at all, I go back to look and now 20GB are freed? I can assure you these screenshots are minuted apart I could even send the metadata in replies, but anyone have any idea about this? I dont want to be too skeptical and jump to conclusions but its very curious it happened right after I looked it up. Any ideas?

The Apple help website isn’t making much sense at all.

Essentially, if I choose the “keep for 30 days” option, it will delete all past messages. Will it keep it in the cloud, off my phone, still accessible? Or is it gone for good?

Same applies to photos. I want to offload to the cloud to free up space on my new device but I’m confused about the process.

4 digit code stopped working to exit, can't reset iphone via iTunes because doesnt trust pc, can't approve pc as stuck in assistive access mode

My iPhone 16 seems to behave weirdly recently.

Among other things, my girlfriend called me today and I've never heard the call or received the notification about it. When we met, she asked me why I didn't pick up, and explained her the situation.

On her iPhone the call is shown as rejected, while on mine it's shown as answered on another device.

The only other device that is connected to my Apple Account is Macbook but never used it at that moment.

iOS is updated to the most recent one 26.6.1.

Couple of weeks ago I've also noticed FaceID turning on on my status bar, while it's completely turned off.

Only these two devices are logged on my Apple Account.

WTF is happening with iOS?

How do I turn this feature off? I’ve tried turning off auto ear detection and nothing changed.

I’ll be on a run and sweating and needing to adjust the pod in my ear and it pauses, so I have to readjust again to get it to play. And then I do the other ear and I wind up adjusting the thing 4 times. Very frustrating. Is there any way to turn this off? Thanks

I just got a notification that a new ipad was added to my account…first of all, no there wasn’t. The ipad listed under my devices is the one I’ve had for 5 years. But it did bring to my attention these “devices” I don’t recognize/have no idea how they would’ve gotten there.

For context, the living room TV in my house used to be a Roku before we got a Fire TV, the one in my bedroom is a Fire TV, and my Xbox is connected to an old LG TV.

My question is how would these TVs possibly be added to my account? And what’s the weird Amazon AFTDEC012E device listed? Is it just the second Fire TV in my house?

Another probably important detail is that I have in the past used the Fire TV and Roku remote apps when I lose the physical remote and don’t feel like searching. So this would’ve connected my phone to the TVs, is that enough to add it to my account??? That would seem strange. Plus, I got a new phone recently and haven’t used those apps since I had my old one.

Is this just normal and i’m being stupid or is it something to worry about? Thx in advance!!!!😊😊😊😊

The new Apple CEO has just launched their social media presence on X, with the handle @johnternus. His bio is simply ‘ CEO’.

His first post: 'hello'.

Recently my airpods pro 3 keep on disconnecting from my iphone when using them. While listening to music they just disconnect and reconnect after a little while. If I try to open my bluetooth settings whilest the disconnecting happens, my phone completely freezes.

It is extremely, extremely annoying, does anyone have a fix?

In de image you can see a lot of devices randomly connecting to my phone (it is not a jammer, it happens in multiple places)

Any help will be very appreciated

Edit: everything is on the latest version and its an iphone 17 base model

Gonna get an iPhone for the first time, currently using a 6.5inch phone Huawei Y9 and deciding wether to get the base iPhone 15 or the iPhone 15 Plus. To me: the iPhone 15 is better because at 6.1inches it'll be a new experience because I've never used a phone that small before, but at the same time I don't wanna be missing out on the better battery and larger display of the Plus. So I'm asking if the bigger screen really does matter all that much since I don't really play games that require a larger screen or watch youtube on my phone, just basic social media and light everyday use. (Don't recommend a phone other than those 2 because I cant afford anything more expensive than them im broke asf).

Apple sets pay for John Ternus and Tim Cook in their new roles. Ternus CEO target pay for 2027 is $58 million, while Cook as chairman is at $47 million. This is salaries + stock units that can fluctuate in value so could be higher (likely) or lower.

End of an era: Apple today informed developers that universal Mac App Store apps that require macOS 13 or later can remove support for Intel-based Mac computers.

We're reaching out to let you know that universal macOS apps on the Mac App Store that require macOS 13 or later can now remove support for Intel-based Mac computers.

By removing support for Intel-based Mac computers, you can simplify your development and optimize your download and on-device size.

Apps that drop Intel support will no longer deliver updates for those machines, but Intel Mac users will be able to keep using the last compatible version of an app. Apple did not previously allow ‌Mac App Store‌ apps with Intel compatibility to drop support.
