Why does Apple sleep alarm move to watch but you can my do the same with other alarms on Apple Watch

Ok so this is something that has bugged me for sometime between the Apple Watch and the iPhone.

If you use the Apple Bedtime and Sleep settings and are wearing your Apple Watch instead of the alarm happening on your phone, your watch will vibrate. Some people hate this, but I love it, as it doesn’t disturb my wife or newborn baby.

The weird thing is there are no controls for this it just happens and you can’t say have the alarm on both your watch and the phone or even just the phone.

Even weirder to me if you set alarms on your phone they don’t alert your watch even if your phone is set to silent (when it should default to vibrating your watch).

Apple really needs to have settings for this and they should be global.

If I have on my watch and have my phone set to silent I should be able to have all alarms go off by vibrating my watch, but there are no controls for this whatsoever. And the only cross alarm that happens is in the sleep/bedtime alarm mentioned earlier.

Why is Mac sync to iPhone so damn bad and so damn slow!

I have been syncing my mac to the iphone since the iphone first came out, and the problem is that it has never gotten better. I sync a bunch of live music that isn’t available on streaming, so I sync to my computer Iplus it means my phone is backed up with passwords so if I restore I get my full working phone, which people on iCloud do not, they have to re-enter all passwords), but the actual sync is so awful.

First off unless you turn cellular, wifi and bluetooth off, the sync takes forever, but if you turn it off it is very quick, we are talking muti-hour sync vs 30 minute sync so it is huge. Why can’t apple fix this? Obviously they don’t care at all.

I hate having to do workarounds, but syncing my iphone with my mac via lightning cable means I have to switch my phone to airplane mode and that is fucking bullshit! If Airplane mode fixes the issue, then Apple could easily fix it, and they don’t care, as they do not want you to backup locally or put your own music on your iPhone.

Any One Else get locked out of their Apple Accounts yesterday or today?

Was watching a movie on my apple tv yesterday, when I git kicked out of my Apple account, on all of my devices. My Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, and it fought me on entering my correct passwords, then said my account was locked, and I had to change my password, then re-enter it on each device (ever try and enter a long password on an Apple Watch? My account is an old .Mac account, but my password is only 6 months old.

I was glad to see I am not the only one having this issue, check out Macrumors, Forbes, Gizchina, and Engadget,

Apple announced the iPhone 15 Pro and it will shoot Spacial Video for Apple Vision Pro

So Apple has announced the iPhone 15 Pro, and it has some pretty interesting video features, from being able to record to an external hard drive (at higher rez) better low light, and later this year it will be able to shoot Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro.

Coming later this year, iPhone 15 Pro will add a new dimension to video capture with the ability to record spatial video for Apple Vision Pro. Users will be able to capture precious moments in three dimensions and relive those memories with incredible depth on Apple Vision Pro when it is available early next year in the U.S.

So it will be able to shoot 3D footage? Or is it 2D with a depth map, like Portrait mode, which could be very exciting for compositing.

I was actually wondering if they were going to use the depth map of portrait mode to make 3D photos for the Vision Pro since you can already make them 3D in Facebook, and since it is Apple photos, Apple must be able to do that as well.

9to5Mac on LumaFusion adding a full multicam editor to LumaFusion for iPhone and iPad

From Fernando Silva at 9to5Mac.

LumaFusion is really the first normal video editing program on the iPad that works like AVID and Premiere Pro (Not Final Cut Pro) and it just keeps getting better and more powerful.

I have edited on it and it was well worth using, though of course I love keyboard editing the most, so the iPad will always be a second class editor.

No Film School on how you should use ProRAW vs. ProRES on an iPhone

James DeRuvo from No Film School has a great article on ProRAW for Photos and ProRES for Video on the iPhone.

The one thing that doesn’t get touched on, which always drives me nuts about the iPhone is not only that the video frame rate tends to drift, but also that there is a 24FPS but not 23.976. I know 24 is film, but most people shoot everything for video which is 23.976 in the US, and most of Apple’s stuff should be for TV.
