Not updating to High Sierra until Fusion Drives work with the new file system.

1Password is great otherwise, but.....that's a pain

1Password & High Sierra co-exist here just fine, but I'm not on the subscription setup yet
windrider

Just checked my settings, I'm using Dropbox, that's why there's no probs with iClod (sic).
patrice
16:20:23
Real time follow up from Agilebits: This is due to some changes that Apple made to iCloud recently. Please A) be sure that Safari is your default browser, and B) that you put a checkmark in the "Keep me signed in" checkbox before logging into iCloud the next time this happens and that should resolve the issue.

Hello Welcome tot he Mac Show and BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!
DeepPan
16:33:37
Wouldn’t that “normal TV” coming in streamed via their cable box not count because the data is within their own network? The same reason Netflix put so many of their content servers within the datacentre of the cable companies when they started out

I haven't seen any issues with Office 2008 for Mac on my Fusion iMac (2017). Not that I use it much.

Office, that is. I use the iMac a lot
DeepPan

much discussion on social media today re Sierra gone missing from MAS. I copy each macOS installer to an ext drive before installing, so I have a copy

Maybe they can use the FM radios in the wearable iPod Nano's. Probably 5 or 6 people still using them.

Because Microsoft skipped version 9, so Apple are doing the same! :D
DPhoto
17:20:20
So the 8 isn;t worth it, but the iPhone X (with minor tech spec differecnes) is somehow worth it?? I had a 7 + and I'm very happy with the 8+ purchase. The X is blinding people to how great the 8+ is.
DeepPan
17:20:36
:D
PaulDixon
17:20:49
or why not call the 8 the 7s
patrice
17:21:59
Even the 10 is not THAT much better than the 7+ It's just different enough for the crowd who's upgrading anyway

The wireless charging need a magnet, the same as the Apple Watch, pull it into the correct location to charge
DPhoto
17:36:43
I bought this charge and it's working well. Large target area. Maybe because it;s square? anyway....$20. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073S5WJBR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

"Doing Lines at the Apple Store" Show title!
DPhoto
17:40:09
Angela Ahrendts in an interview said that it was Apple's plan to give customers a choice to buy from home or come to the store. Bad move. Perception is reality and short lines reads as Apple failing.
