Found this works
I’m sure there are other means. Note this does seem to require a computer. I imagine works same from Mail.macos.
“iTunes cannot sync voice memos … because the Voce Memos app is not installed … You must download the Voice Memos app …”
Got this error message in iTunes today. I haven’t used voice memos.app in a long time (I use iTalk.app) and didn’t notice Voice Memos.app was no longer on my iPhone.
So why am I only getting this now … and why did a search on this phrase only find some phishing/spam page? Why does searching on Voice Memo Apple find only a bunch of third party apps? Why isn’t Voice Memos.app on my iPhone?
One good thing — I ran across Apple’s Music Memos.app — which I’d missed. It does sound useful.
Older Canons cameras had a lovely IR remote. Worked great.
Now they use a Bluetooth remote — or you can use a complex remote app on an iPhone called Canon Connect.app.
It’s awful.
If you do ever get your camera paired to your iPhone you’ll run into trouble when you switch phones. How do delete the old pairing?
I think you don’t - at least, not directly.
Go to Wireless Communication Settings. Then Bluetooth Function (not Wi-Fi). Their you check/clear connection info and then do Pairing again. The Wi-Fi info will then get set when you use the Cannon Connect.app to connect to the Camera’s built-in hotspot.
The trick is you start with Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi settings are stored thereafter.
I remember when you could get an RSS feed for a Facebook wall. Years after that when away there was an RSS feed for Page posts, but I think that’s gone now.
Up until a year ago there was some obscure way to see the Pages Feed (all Pages) in Facebook Mobile, but I think that’s gone too.
AFAIK the only way to view a page feed on mobile is to save the URL to the Home Screen. Go to https://www.facebook.com/pages then click on tab feed then save. Safari will sync un/pw via keychain across Safari on devices.
Looks like Facebook only wants Pages to show up in the news feed, and then only for a price.
I think the spotlight/contact bug was introduced in 11.1. It’s not fixed in 11.2.
If I search in spotlight for a Contact name, or search on Contacts field of phone app, I get an empty (Null) Contact as a result. It has no content.
Turning Search (spotlight) off then on for Contacts restores search, but only transiently. I have 2,162 Contact Cards, I did find one that was empty and deleted it.
I’ve now removed all Contacts from my phone (iCloud) and restored them. I’ll see if that works.
I got a notice from Google yesterday. tech.kateva.org had been quarantined as a phishing vector. Visitors would be warned away. I had a short time to fix the affected page that was listed below …
But there was nothing there. Same thing with a link to a downloadable spreadsheet of issues. That was empty too.
Elsewhere in the message a page was identified. It sure looked benign, the only link was to an Apple support site. It’s a (Google) blogger site and all the widgets were default Blogger. No extra HTML. No comments.
Also, despite Google’s warning, the blog was not quarantined.
A puzzle.
Oh, I left something out. The day before a published spam comment showed up in my comment tracking feed. I get a few spam comments every day or two, but this was the first published one in a while. I went to delete it … but by the time I got to Blogger’s post management menu the comment was gone.
This is what I think happened:
I changed comments on the blog to require authorization at all times — no two week window for authenticated users. Clearly authentication is no longer a sufficient barrier. I don’t want phishing attacks on my blog, and I don’t want to get quarantined.
This reminds me what a strange fish Blogger is. It works fairly well, though there’s a longstanding problem with CR/LF handling that reminds me too much of DOS 2.1. It gets very few, but still some, updates. Google has switched their blogs off Blogger, but they haven’t used their new proprietary RSS/Blog platform to replace Blogger. Blogger is neither dead nor alive, and Google RSS is similarly quantum.
Like many veteran geeks I have a different iCloud ID and Apple store ID. This used to be a supported configuration. In my case it was essential because of some complicated history with Apple’s .mac precursor to MobileMe and iCloud. (In an unrelated matter I have another 3-4 Apple IDs that aren’t connected to anything but, depending on the vagaries of Apple’s hacked together legacy databases, sometimes pickup Apple Store hardware purchases.)
This is what Apple’s support document says now (emphases mine) …
Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support
… We recommend that you use the same Apple ID for all Apple services on your device—including the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud …
… If you have multiple Apple IDs, you can’t merge them …
I went looking for this document because I think iBooks.app doesn’t work properly with an iCloud ID that’s different from the Apple Store ID that can be used to purchase iBooks. It looks like this will be a trend.
Note what Apple says here. Your Apple Store ID and iCloud ID should be the same. You also can’t merge them [1]. So you either need to abandon all your Apple Store purchases or your iCloud storage purchase.
Anyone remember when Cook promised to fix Apple’s original sin of botched identity management system? Apparently the problem is harder than building spaceship headquarters.
Apple should bite the bullet and come up with a process to merge Apple IDs. I fear they aren’t going to bother though. I really miss class action lawsuits.

[1] There is a possible workaround. You may be able to use your iCloud ID as an Apple Store ID and then make it a family member of the original Apple Store ID. This will run into rules about changing device Store IDs and constraints on family member size as well as issues with the total number of devices that are part of a family (10). It isn’t an official workaround and I suspect it has irreversible problems of its own.
