APPLE: Only one message destination fail to send???

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

One problem that has just started happening today. I am trying to forward an imessage to 7726 spam and it’s not being sent. I’ve done extensive stuff singout and in; restarted. yada yada. And it is ONLY this one destination that is failing.

#102678619378

Never mind I can’t spend anymore time on it.

Apple chat support is slow to respond.  Apple support options don’t let you focus on iMessage problems. 

Argh!

APPLE: Forcing Apple to support EU Porn App is just wrong

Apple Says It Doesn’t Approve of EU Porn App

Monday February 3, 2025 1:15 pm PST by Juli Clover

*** begin quote ***

Apple does not approve of the “Hot Tub” pornography app that was released for the iPhone in the EU using alternative app distribution, Apple said in a statement to MacRumors. Further, Apple is concerned about the potential user safety risks with a pornography app, and says that it undermines consumer trust in the Apple ecosystem.

*** end quote ***

I agree with Apple.  Not that they are “saints”, but forcing them to support an app (Apple’s Notarization process only checks for malware, fraud, and other egregious issues) is a violation of their independence. 

I thought, that by “alternative App Store”, Apple would have no part in the process of putting an app on their hardware.  Guess I was wrong!

I see a whole slew of issues and “finger pointing” when some app bricks the hardware.  Apple’s response should be “Nie mój cyrk, nie moje małpy” . . . literally, “not my circus, not my monkey;” figuratively, “not my problem.”

I guess monkeys are “problems” in Poland, and circuses are where “problems” come from. If it’s not your monkey, and it’s not even from your circus, then it’s not your problem. 

And, the User should seek help from the EU technocrats.

Tough nuggies but that’s what the EU wanted.

APPLE: iMessage failure

Friday, July 21, 2023

2023-07Jul-21

imessage on my mac is stuck “signing on”. Put in uid and password and is just spins. Comes back after a long while with “unknow error occured”.

Verify which mac

Verify time, date, and zone

Then, magic: Something just happened. “did you forget password” and then opened as normal. Did you do something?

# – # – # – # – # 

Support blames it on a network or wifi glitch.

Conventient

Lost time about 20 minutes.

APPLE: Got back an empty repaired MACBOOKAIR (#3)

Monday, July 19, 2021

And, it was back to a factory reset.

No problem!  Initialized it like a good little User.

“Wanna use a time machine to get your image back?”

Yeah, sure, that’s was my plan.

PROBLEM

It’ll take an estimated ~6 hours to restore.

Argh!

We’ll see what that translated IRL time.

Sigh!
