It just doesn’t work properly. I mean, in general, the tech is clever, but not actually clever enough yet to live up to the claims. It’s good at detecting which swimming stroke you’re doing, yes, but it regularly fails to detect that I’m moving around, or credits me with moving around when I’m sat still. The other day it recognised that I’d walked briskly for 8 minutes to get to work, but also reckoned I’d achieved that by sitting down motionless.
Then there’s the apps crashing, the watch switching itself off, or displaying a weeks-old text message instead of the one that just came in.
Between this, the Apple TV working like a pig, and Apple screwing me over on an item in my library, I’m seriously fucking fed up of them.
It can’t even do that. I struggle to get it to play films most of the time. I’m just faced with an endless buffering icon, and the film doesn’t start. I usually give up. It’s one of the reasons I wasn’t delighted about the complementary rentals I was given recently.
Just had my iPhone work out that I was trying to enter a password on my Apple TV and offer to auto-fill it without me having to fiddle around with the remote.
It’s moments like that which remind me why I love the Apple ecosystem.
Long time lurker, infrequent poster here, with an iCloud question:
After updating to Mojave, I appear to have lost an extremely important file that contains my own personal "musical output" masters in iCloud. This is the ONLY file that has been deleted - all of the other files that I wouldn't care if deleted, are still there (as a strange side note: my iTunes playlist that contained all the mp3s from these masters was also deleted, alongside the actual mp3 files themselves on my iMac. No worries, I think, I'll just make a new playlist from the master files in my iCloud, which is when I noticed they had gone...)
Has anyone had experience of having Apple recover files via iCloud? Is this is even possible?
Oooof! iCloud should keep deleted files for thirty days. If that didn't work, then you're going to need better advise than I can give I'm afraid. Good luck!
If that doesn't work, then maybe you could try something like Fireebok Data Recovery software, as the files may still apparently be "hidden" on your desktop. (scroll down to option 3)
Thanks for the advice guys! Unfortunately, nothing worked out, so barring a miracle from Apple themselves, I've just got to accept the files are gone for good....
Yep. Also the pencil charges in a way that isn’t s complete abomination and you know longer have to use your thumb to unlock the thing (and is now a viable cookery tablet)
Even though my 2012 model is only running the bare minimum of software, it still runs slow as all hell. I blame MacOS and iTunes for getting bloated and just not running smoothly on older hardware.
