Apple’s key communication and note-taking apps have some awesome features.In the iPhone’s email client, Mail, for example, you can swipe an email message right to access more options; tap Unread to mark that email as unread, or tap Remind Me to set up a reminder about the email, so you can deal with it later. If you swipe that email left, different options present themselves. Tap the Bin to delete it, Flag to mark it with a flag or More for an options window that lets you reply, forward, archive the message and more, without actually opening it. The Hide My Email feature lets you send an email without giving the recipient your email address. Before you send it, tap the From field to open the CC and BCC fields.…

When you give Amazon’s digital assistant a command, do you say, “Hey, Alexa” out of habit? When you return to Apple’s service, do you forget the “Hey”? With iPhone 17, you can solve this problem by changing Siri’s wake word from “Hey Siri” to simply “Siri”. To do this, open Settings and tap Siri & Search.At the top of the screen is an option called ‘Listen for’. Tap this, and choose your wake words. You can get Siri to read a web page to you now too. Just open the page and say “Siri, read this to me”. It might not work if a page isn’t very text-heavy. If Siri makes a mistake while listening to you, it can be corrected, as long as you’re set up to see what…

IT WILL TAKE 10 minutes YOU WILL LEARN How to edit and share images and clips in HDR format YOU’LL NEED Pixelmator Pro 3.5 Flare (£49.99, pixelmator.com/pro) To capture more detail in shadows and highlights, your iPhone can shoot HDR (High Dynamic Range) images by automatically combining a series of rapidly shot exposures into a single Raw or JPEG image. This HDR format also produces photos boasting more colour and tonal information than SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) images can. You can view and edit HDR shots within the Photos app on your iPhone’s Retina display but, thanks to the latest version of Pixelmator Pro, you can edit an iPhone-sourced HDR photo from the comfort of your Mac’s larger display (though older Macs may not support working in HDR). Pixelmator Pro…

Quick-fire questions Why does my Mac change its name every few days? > This is likely to result from that Mac having two network connections. When macOS checks every couple of days to ensure that its name is different from others on that local network, it sees itself through the other interface, assumes it’s another Mac, so changes its name. Can iCloud Drive mirror files like Google Drive? > Yes. That type of cloud service is a ‘replicated file provider’, and files stored locally in your iCloud Drive folder are the same as those in iCloud Drive, and kept in sync. To enable that, turn Optimise Mac Storage off in System Settings > [Apple ID] > iCloud. Turning that on allows local files to be removed. Does Private Relay impair…

Quick-fire questions Where should I use case-sensitive APFS volumes? > The only place you’re required to use casesensitive volumes is for Time Machine backup storage, probably for compatibility with iOS and iPadOS, which use case-sensitive APFS. Copying case-sensitive to case-insensitive could lead to data loss. Case sensitivity isn’t needed for any other purpose. How to remove a file from Time Machine backups? > Although you can delete files from older backups made to HFS+ volumes, newer backups made to APFS volumes are turned into snapshots, which can’t be changed by removing or changing files, as they’re read-only. Although inconvenient, this ensures the integrity of those backups: if you could change them, so could an error or malicious app. Q I’m replacing my old Mac with an Apple silicon model.…

Unfortunately, in computing, nothing lasts forever. When 32-bit processors gave way to the more efficient 64-bit chips, it was inevitable software written for 32-bit CPUs would eventually be abandoned. It was a long time coming Which Macs will run macOS High Sierra? macOS 13 High Sierra was a performance release. That is, it was primarily designed to solidify its security and polish the performance rather than introduce new features. You can install it on any Mac that ran its predecessor, Sierra, though its successor, Mojave, left a lot of Macs behind. The Macs that can run High Sierra are as follows: Mac (Late 2009 or later) MacBook (Late 2009 or later) MacBook Air (Late 2010 or later) MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later) iMac…

Apple prides itself on its security, but it looks like the company has suffered a damaging incident close to home. Asecurity researcher who reported bugs to Apple – and was publicly thanked by the company for his efforts – has been arrested for using an internal Apple tool to steal millions of dollars. The researcher, named Noah Roskin-Frazee, has been accused alongside acoconspirator of scamming Apple out of over $3 million over the course of nearly 25 suspicious orders. That apparently included around $2.5 million in gift cards and over $100,000 in products and services. According to the indictment, in 2019 Roskin-Frazee used a password-reset tool to gain access to the account of an employee at a company that handles customer support for Apple products. That access led the accused…

[MAC APP] Apple provides a decent number of tools when taking screenshots and screen recordings in macOS, but ScreenFloat goes one better with a great selection of extra tools and features. Now, its version 2 update sees the app completely rewritten and improved throughout. Once you’ve taken a screenshot, you can add tags, change its file type and resolution, copy the file, share it with other apps, and a whole lot more. It can detect faces, barcodes, text and data, which can all be edited (for instance, you can quickly blur out faces). Your images can be made to float above your other windows for quick reference, and ScreenFloat even integrates well with the Shortcuts app. If you frequently take and edit screenshots on your Mac, ScreenFloat 2 could be…

The combination of Apple software and hardware have always been something of a closed shop. This is by design. The company argues it has created a walled garden so that it can offer only the best, safest products to customers and allow them to pay in the most straightforward, secure way. Meanwhile, its critics claim that it has created a silo so that it can trap customers in its ecosystem and keep taking a 30% cut of all apps and services purchased through the App Store and through Apple Pay. Both arguments are true to a certain extent. But, irrespective of who is right, things are changing. When iOS 17.4 is released in March, Apple is going to allow so-called sideloading in the EU because of the bloc’s Digital Markets…

The Camera and Photos apps have some useful advanced features, and there are some great apps out there to make use of your iPhone’s augmented and mixed reality capabilities. In Photos, Visual Look Up gives instant access to information about things in your photograph. This includes landmarks, pets, flowers, books, works of art and more. It’s easy to use.

If this icon is augmented by a star, or changes shape to resemble something in the photo, Visual Look Up is available. Tap the icon, and at the top of the panel that pops up is an option marked ‘Look Up [Object]’. Tap this option…

With version 13.2 of this easy-to-use app, Apple has rolled out some very useful new features that will make your Keynote slides virtually burst from the screen. These include the ability to add 3D objects, live video and new Dynamic themes – items that will make your work feel far less static. Live videos enable you to place yourself in a slide – perfect if you’re presenting remotely. Dynamic themes use procedurally generated ambient animations to add motion, while 3D objects…

QHow can I discover which version of SMB my Mac is using? by JOHN GORDON AThere are two different version numbers you might need: that of Apple’s SMB software, and the version used over a connection to a network share. The software version is given in System Information; select the Extensions item in the Software section, and scroll down to smbfs, where you’ll find the current version is 5.1. To discover which version of SMB is being used over a connection, ensure that share is connected to your Mac, then in Terminal type ‘smbutil statshares -a’ and press Return. You’ll be given a list of current SMB connections, within which is the line for SMB_VERSION. As of Sonoma 14.2.1 that’s likely to be 3.0.2, although older versions can be used.…

QWhat’s the best way to keep backups of a Linux virtual machine (VM)? by RICHARD HORNSEY AExclude VMs from Time Machine backups, as they’re large files that change relatively frequently, and would swell those backups. Also avoid them being captured in backup snapshots, as those changes will make snapshots large as well. Store your VMs on a dedicated volume, excluded completely from Time Machine backups, so they won’t have snapshots either. Third-party backup utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner are ideal for making nightly or weekly copies of VMs to their own volume on your backup disk. Unlike Time Machine, those won’t perform more efficient block copies, which only back up parts of the VM that have changed. That will take longer, but if the backup runs overnight that shouldn’t…

What do you look for in a printer? Do you want a device with great networking capabilities and high speeds for small office use? Would you prefer a cheap and cheerful printer just for outputting the odd letter?

For this group test we’re looking for the best all-round inkjet printer that’s great for printing photographs. A decent device for the home or home office. Something that does more than gather dust between printing letters to your bank manager or the tax office, but not a pro-level printer for use in a bigger office or design studio.

£99.99 FROM adobe.com NEEDS macOS 12 or later A new Add Text Guided Edit enables you to add captions for social media The full, monthly subscription version of Adobe Photoshop features many tools that the casual photographer won’t require, such as the ability to animate layer content or edit properties of brush tips.

Fortunately, Adobe’s streamlined Photoshop Elements focuses on the needs of the average photographer, to help quickly edit photos to fix problems with colour and exposure. Photoshop Elements also offers plenty of fast ways to produce creative image content that will catch the eye of your friends, family and social…

According to multiple reports from sources with solid track records, a bevy of new Apple products are on the way. That includes a new iPad Pro with a mouth-watering display upgrade, as well as a slate of new Macs joining the M3 chip generation. Starting with the iPad Pro, Korean outlet The Elec believes that the device will come with an OLED display for the first time. It adds that these OLED panels have just entered production, which puts the iPad Pro in line for an April release date. That lines up with claims from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who reckons Apple will release an iPad Air with a new 12.9-inch size at the same time. Speaking of Gurman, a recent report from the Apple tipster has claimed that a new…

“What the heck is happening?” That’s what we said as we played virtual DJ, spinning two records in front of us with a cross-fade knob and special effects we could control with our hands in mid-air. We just reached out and touched them. We had a similar ‘What the heck’ moment – in a good way –when we looked at a MacBook to connect and supersize its display on the wall in front of us. Then we pinned the Apple Music app to the left of our desk and Slack to the right. This is what Apple means by spatial computing. And we were left almost speechless when we viewed a 3D spatial video of three dogs coming towards the camera. It’s so immersive you may get a bit emotional.…

For fans of Focus modes, there are some interesting tips and tricks you can try. If you want to quickly change between Focus modes on the Lock Screen, touch and hold the name of the Focus mode you’re currently using, or if your phone isn’t locked, open the Control Centre (swipe down from the top-right corner), and tap and hold your current Focus mode from there. Either way, you’re shown a list of available Focus modes, from which you can choose a new one. Another quick and easy way of changing between Focus modes is by using Siri. All you have to do is say, “Siri/Hey Siri, turn on [name] focus” or “turn off [name] focus”. It’s excellent for turning off the Sleep focus first thing in the morning, for…

If you can’t find an item, Ctrl-click the ‘…’ button to open a search bar. You can pick from a list of hidden items or search by name. Your Mac’s menu bar is a good place for apps to store icons providing quick access to their settings, but it can quickly fill up with macOS features and third-party apps. When that happens, your menu bar goes from ordered neatness to unruly bedlam, overflowing with tiny icons and with no way to hide them. The problem is compounded if your Mac has a notch, which can end up…

YOU WILL LEARN How DockKit can be used for action videos and photography Key fact Most recent iPads have Ultra Wide cameras that provide 122° field of view (FOV). The Centre Stage feature can follow you around within that 122° viewing angle, but will lose sight of you if you move beyond that. In contrast, DockKit is designed to rotate a motorised stand through a full 360° horizontally, and also to tilt the camera through 90° vertically as well. A few years ago, Apple came up with a feature called Centre Stage, which allows FaceTime and other video apps to follow your movements and keep your face in focus if you need to move around during video calls. This is useful if you need to give some sort of presentation…

AWhen you use the Finder’s Get Info on the iCloud Drive item in its sidebar, that doesn’t measure what’s stored in your iCloud Drive, let alone the overall total in iCloud. Instead, the Finder shows the size of what’s being stored locally on your Mac. If you have the Optimise Mac Storage setting turned on, many of the files there may have been evicted into cloud storage, so taking no space at all on your Mac’s local disk. What’s in iCloud Drive is also only a part of what takes up space in your iCloud storage allocation. That includes databases such as Contacts if you put those into iCloud, any photos and videos including Photos libraries, mailboxes if you access those in iCloud, and all your Messages. The only way…

Q My Mac has an external disk named Mac User. Can I create an alias to it in the Volumes folder so I can also access it using a different name? by NEIL LANGDON ASadly, it’s not as simple as that, as the top-level Volumes folder can’t be changed by the user, only by the system, which uses it to automatically mount volumes. There’s one notable exception to that: it also mounts a link to your current startup volume there, for convenience of access. No matter how you try to create a Finder alias file there, you’ll be refused because you don’t have the permissions to do so. The simplest way to address this is to change the name of that volume on the external disk. There’s no straightforward way…

iCloud was first introduced in 2011, so it was already up and running when macOS High Sierra launched in 2017. Log into the service on your older Mac, and it still syncs your data with your other Apple gear. The latest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote won’t run in High Sierra, but if you open the Mac App Store and go to the Purchased tab, you can download earlier releases from there.

1 How good is the photo printing? Check for things like colour accuracy, flesh tones, sharp lines and more. Try printing on quality photo paper, at A4 as well as 6x4-inch prints. 2 How good is text reproduction? Look for sharp, clearly defined characters, even at very small point sizes. Is it vibrant and black, or does it look dull and washed out? 3 The feature set Is a printer packed with features, or is it a bare-bones basic model? The latter isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it depends on your needs. 4 Build quality You want a printer that will last several years, so consider how well built a printer is. Is it robust and solid, or fragile and flimsy?…

Apple’s Vision Pro has had its US release; people are getting their hands on it, and we’re starting to see how it might function in the real world. While it looks amazing, I’ve yet to see a killeruse case or perfect app that I can see justifying spending that much money on this new thing called ‘spatial reality’. Apple recommends that Vision Pro is used indoors, in a controlled environment, like your front room. However, there are videos of people riding subways and walking around Times Square in New York while wearing a Vision Pro. There are even videos of people wearing one while sitting in the driver’s seat of Tesla’s new Cybertruck! (It should be noted that all current self-driving cars require the driver to be present and…
