    Thanks a ton for the last tip! I found if you go to the control center and click the arrow for the display and link the keyboard and mouse, then click to go to the display settings, just to the bottom right of the 2 displays (laptop and iPad in my case) there is a little arrow with a plus sign. Click that and you can enable "mirror or extend to" and extend your desktop to the iPad! This will come in handy when editing my photos and video while on the road in my camper van. Cheers!

    4:31 Many mobile providers in the United States also support WiFi Calling For Other Devices (WiFi Calling On iCloud-Connected Devices). If you enable it on your iPhone and then confirm the setup on each of the other devices you want to use it with (other iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches), you’ll be able to make and receive calls with your iPhone’s mobile number as long as those other devices are connected to the Internet, even if your iPhone isn’t nearby at all. This works by allowing those devices, for example an iPad, to connect to the same WiFi Calling servers from your mobile provider that your phone does so it can use the provider to make and receive calls on your behalf, without your iPhone nearby. One handy use-case for this is using an iPad to make and receive calls when your iPhone is dead or unavailable, and it’s especially useful if you have a cellular-enabled iPad with a plan, so you can make and receive calls on your iPad without your iPhone while on the go.

    I’m really surprised that you are promoting Clean My Mac. Because it runs constantly in the background it slowed my iMac down to the point where it became almost unusable. Deleting it was a real chore! I’d never install something like that again and many youtube channels say it’s unnecessary.

    • @ProperHonestTech
      @ProperHonestTech  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      I respect your comment. My response would be that I honestly have been using it for about a year now, and the only experiences I've had with it have all been positive, so I stand by what I said in the promotion.

      @@josefhab8095 You're surprised I'm promoting something because you had issues? That's like saying "I don't like cornflakes, I'm surprised Tom says he likes them." You've also not given any usable information here - just 'issues', that have apparently been resolved by removing CMM. As I already said, I can only promote (or not promote) based on my personal experience, which has been entirely positive.

      I’ve been using CMM on multiple Mac devices for a few years now. We use 2 x MacBook Air (circa 2015 & 2017 respectively) a 2015 MacBook Pro and a 2021 MacBook Pro (M1). We have had ZERO issues across any of these devices, nor any IOS versions. I don’t think Tom would ever undermine the integrity of his channel, nor dishonor his audience, by promoting a problematic product.

      I've been using Windows continuously from Windows 2.0 to Windows 10 (I refuse to use Windows 11), but when Apple released OS X 10.4, I was shocked to see how much better it was. Since then, my main computers have always been Macintoshes, because I found that they helped me get work done twice as a fast (because of the very intelligent multi-layer structure of OS X/MacOS, reminiscent of the Unix philosophy).

    It is interesting that on Sonoma I cannot use iphone as continuity camera as my Mac mini does not recognize the phone at all. The only solution is to plug any kind of web camera. After that you can choose between web cam and iphone. Pretty silly. If you want iphone as web cam on your mac, you must buy a web cam. I hope an update will fix it.

    Tom, Guys. Can anyone help with Air drop issue? It used to work very well, but for last few months I can't transfer big files like 2-3 Gb. Mkv files, video. iMac - MCB - Iphone. It shows processing but at the end it collapses and says not finished. I have all machines up to date all set ups is same as it was in the past. Now I have to upload these big files to Cloud and download to Iphone. Thanks for any intel. Very appreciated.

    One bad thing about Universal Control is it requires Wifi to be turned on, even if you are using a hard-wired connection. From what I understand if you plug your iPad into your Mac with a cable it should use that connection instead of using it over wifi, so why the requirement? It's the only reason I need wifi turned on on my laptop when I would rather have it off, it's annoying.
