Has anyone else noticed that there are two different volume levels now ? When I call for an advisor, the IVR (AI introduction sounds fine. When the advisor or any other call speaks, i'ts so low I have to put it to my ear.

Unfortunately, I have forgotten old passwords. I finally wrote my first swift program in xcode. I get multiple errors where codesign wants to access to the keychain for my developer corporation. I have 5 failed requests that won't go away no matter what program I'm in. There is no CANCEL, just ALWAYS ALLOW, DENY or ALLOW. Do you have any hints on how to get rid of them and then figure out later how to reset the passcode?

Obviously I am a developer, I was also one back in the day with Borland when they came out with great alternatives to Microsoft! Back then we had two people in a garage trying to develop a tinkerer version of this revolutionary small version of a device to rival the big bucks vaz and huge mainframes. Prts were cheap, we didn’t have disk drives, just tapes. And in concert with someone with Apple in charlotte We d v loped a contacts database to be saved on tape. Then later with Borland I met with a developer to install the correct hp laser jet driver to print. I was main online Compuserve to support a programmable word processor which had its own language. then the Internet came, RjJ Reynolds donated multimultiple lIBM IPCs to our ham club, Grinos came out in C, so I modified it for packet radio across th the repeaters in NC. So I left law school and went working on an Apple //e at a local retailer. I’d replace power supplies and graphics chips for 16 and 64 k computers, occasionally the accountant who needed amore screen. All great but bills were just bareable at that income level. Like the Raspberry Pi’s of today (which I just created. again unfortunately my MacBook Pro 16” display developed a screen went south but plugging in an hdmi to close monitor works, almost. So I call Apple support send me to Greensboro Apple Genius Bar because I have AppleCare, but she continently forg ts to write that in her notes. So when I’m at the store, the do find an issue with my brand new iPhone 15 with AppleCare but I have no proof so they will fix my MacBook Pro. My main development machine. I just published a new apple book last month on it. im 66 now in impermanent housing trying to make myself worthwhile to the community, yet I can’t. I can at best submit a formal complaint to Apple and “hope it gets to the right channels” just like when the first Apple Music rollout deleted 4000 songs because they weren’t in iTunes Match. Apple sent two puzzled techs out for Pinkerton had thousands of followers, but not me. I got from executive support “ we don’t need user input”. And it’s now true: woz is gone, all feedback goes to a robot and the live people ”forget to write down crucial info”. so it all boils down to how will I learn swift with Xcode and use the 15 to upload to the Vision Pro (when I can afford it) when even the newest Mac beta was too big to fit on my MacBook Pro with moving files to the cloud.

I have internet inside but 5G outside. The Apple TV device responds to INTERNET only, not 56. So why not have an autodetect?

Never mention BETA, because when you revert to shipping, it's a disaster and the docs aren't correct. The carrier, T-Mobile is not technically astute. So, how do I get heard and acknowledged by a REAL person?

Shouldn't Siri use iCloud to post alarms for ALL my devices?

What would be your recommendations for an online course for learning to use XCODE and planning a swift app ? After a law degree I've spent 40 years learning systems engineering. Mostly networking, some programming so I have the basics, but there are some absolute mysteries. My first app was a basic program for the //e a contact database we could save on tape before diks were avai.able. Now I'm stymied with some cryptic messages about not being able to create schema and I simple downloaded the new code and told it to create a new ios app.

I've been working a while on removing duplicates in a 5k+ library. I have a decent program to find the dups and first move to a special subdirectory. I want to make a library from then make it the system library so that I can see that on all apple devices. Yes, I know the feedback site and hate it. There's no interactive help if you run beta and I've not been able to successfully back up to the shipping version.

I'm stuck in a loop. Maybe someone else can point me in the right direction ? I'm having issues with Bluetooth device. Developer Admin says call regular tech support. But they will not handle beta. I'm glad the forums are here, but where is the PROPER place to ask ?

This happens through last 4 ios releases. certain phones don't hear the speaker well. So I grab beats pro or bose headset and if they wait long enough to get it setup, the call goes fine. But when I'm driving or having. to use both hands I'll try to make a call. They can't hear me.

I hope this is the "right" place to get help. Last time was a BIG failure. I'm trying to take my idea for my app and make it. more concrete. At first it's a simple database and UI to fill it. Then it becomes a networked database (file and field locking). Next step is iPhone or iPad entry in the field. So first step is ironing out the database. Then it's internet communication to the database. Once I get. that step comes the creative part. At first the entry form would remain fixed. But the goal is to be able to use the database for filling out other forms and add them to the database. I'm hoping to get the grant from NNCEH or NC Coalition to End Homelessness. Which means this must help get them off the streets and into stable housing and healthcare. There will be mountains of forms to be submitted. If the database expanded for each new "field" or piece of information, in turn it could be used to fill in other forms. Then the database could be updated routinely to indicate eligibility for other programs like food stamps, etc.. Then the forms to apply for that would be generated. This database could also b´us´d as the central location for information. such as food banks. That eliminates the old mimeo sheets (out of date) that are passed around. In short I want to the movement to end homelessness a push into the "information age" making forms easier as well as keeping up to date. My company is a real 501(c)(3) corp, so there will be no charge to social agencies who ask for access. The actual equity is the database. Imagine that with a report writer for the Database it could be used to predict changes. Most importantly it can predict what's needed by the homeless with real figures not "gut feelings". North Carolina has a job description called Certified Peer Support Specialist. They interact with the homeless so they would be the ones with iPhones entering information in the field. I've been so long winded to give a good picture of where I'm going and what I need to get there. to highlight the critical areas show what an impact this program could have once deployed. I need advice on all aspects: which database, how to setup the comms between field iPhones and the database server.

I'm very familiar with running a program in an IDE or closed system in order to allow quick access and quickly fixing the code. What I'm not used to is these "certificates".  I'm just picking some open sources Xcode friendly programs just so I can learn. I'd think that if it has an Xcode project file then it should compile. Most of them, instead, it stops on the state of these certificates. What can I read or watch that would prepare me for fixing them /

I'm establishing a Muti-user database that will be updated by lan based stations as well as many in the field. That means at the least file & record locking. What's the best solution to have this solution through Macs and iPhones ? Is this going to take a Linux server with an SQL database or is there an apple solution ?

I'm an apple developer beginning the creation of a network for development. I want to have shared services such as file server(s), printing, email, etc.. I hope to include other developers in my effort to create my company's software. I'm looking for an area with others who can discuss beta products from apple as well as the challenges of development on a lan/wan. my first question is how the new server package differs from the last release and how that can help with a shared database and communication program.

I'm hoping to contact others who've successfully installed macOS for both local and remote networks. I have a G5 that I want to setup as a file/database server so that I can remotely access data files, get query results from a database and update the remote iOS device. If you've used, installed, uninstalled any of the above G5s or macOS products.
