    Solved! Do I want or need IOS 15.1 on my iPad and iPhone 12s?

    I’m getting the usual messages on my iPad and iPhone 12s that iOS 15.1 is now available! I’m running 14.x and I’m satisfied. So…. I read the thumbnail description today of what it does. I don’t do ANY of the things it says 15.x makes “better”! All I do on the iPad is email, texting family...

    Solved! Working on file either on desktop or laptop

    Limited expertise here so be gentle! I use a windows desktop and windows 10 to do straightforward things like email, MS Office, following my investments, not a lot more. My wife also uses the desktop for the same things. I am the administrator on the desktop and she is a limited user...

    Solved! Sync pics on iPhone and iPad

    I have an iPhone 12 and an older iPad. Right now both of them are set so I can use the photos app on either one to see pics I’ve taken on either device. But there’s a bit of a time lag btwn taking a pic on the phone and being able to see it on the iPad, and v.v. Is there a way I can “force”...

    Simple Q re Bluetooth and medical devices

    Good thought, but in this case I think it’s simpler than that. I’m pairing a Tandem insulin pump, using Tandem’s mobile app, and a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor sensor, using Dexcom’s mobile app, to my iPhone 12. Both those devices have BT built in and both talk properly with my iPhone, as...

    Simple Q re Bluetooth and medical devices

    Yes I am. Moments after I posted, the 2nd device lost connection too. Considering the actual devices involved I’m certain the second device had stopped its normal functioning (it does that often!😡😡😡) and that caused the other one to drop also. The sequence of my being alerted to the two drops...

    Simple Q re Bluetooth and medical devices

    I have an iPhone 12 and home WiFi via ATT using a modem in the bonus room over garage. I’ve paired the phone to an insulin pump connected to me. At the moment I’m outside on the patio and the pump has lost its connection to my phone. Even tho the two devices are less than a foot apart. But I...

    Question Is there a way to test a tv in a store before I buy?

    Yes. I know how to tell Roku I want CC. With Roku my pblm right now is that before their latest update it did, and now, after their update, with no changes at all by me, it doesn’t. Thx for the tip about asking BB to help. I’ll work on that.

    Question Is there a way to test a tv in a store before I buy?

    I’m looking for a smart tv that will show me closed captions when I watch regular live tv with my Roku and YouTube tv which is how I do it. My older non smart LG won’t, and since the latest Roku system update I can’t get CC I used to get on normal tv shows. I know I can read specs. I know I...

    Question Why is a Bluetooth device shown in settings as "not connected" when I know it is

    Yes, no, in that order, for the Dexcom. Because of how the Dexcom works I cannot do that at all. But I did resolve a side issue with Dexcom for how it’s supposed to share data. It’s working right regardless of how it shows up in the iPhone settings so I’ll let that sleeping dog lie. I did...

    Question Why is a Bluetooth device shown in settings as "not connected" when I know it is

    iPhone 12mini, ios up to date; very limited experience with connecting anything by Bluetooth. I wear a medical device (A Dexcom continuous glucose monitor) that I know is paired correctly to my phone and to the Dexcom receiver, as far as the device itself goes, but on the phone, in ios...

    Solved! What causes apps to constantly reload almost every 5-10 SECONDS.

    I think you’re right. It’s not the iPad per se. It’s the particular app. Thx again.

    Solved! What causes apps to constantly reload almost every 5-10 SECONDS.

    Hi. Thx for helping. The app that aggravates me the most is the New York Times. The content they send is very ad-heavy and very video-heavy and IT is constantly updating its articles. Sort of its own version of the obnoxious “breaking news” crawler constantly on the bottom of my CNN or...

    Solved! What causes apps to constantly reload almost every 5-10 SECONDS.

    I’ve got an iPad, not the latest vintage but serviceable. I keep the ios up to date. I spend a lot of time reading news on New York Times, Washington Post, etc. Lately (past couple months) many of those apps and other photo-heavy news type apps seem to almost constantly try to reload...
