I love Safari.
It’s the browser I use most often, on both Mac and iPhone. I have started to run into a bit of a problem, though. It’s both annoying and important.
On a few completely unrelated retail websites, I have been unable to complete a purchase.
It’s usually right at the end, after entering all details, including discount codes and so on. I’ve had to then redo the whole thing in Chrome and, at least once, this has resulted in us losing a discount due to “code has already been used”.
I figure it’s something to do with ad/popup blocking. Anyone know more?

I’m selling my M1 Mac Mini (256GB storage; 16GB memory) and thought somebody here might want it at a slightly better price — say £450?

So 17.2.1 has broken my Mail app, anyone else? Sync to Exchange has gone to shit.

The trouble shooting tip for Mail is always: remove and re-add your account
I don't know how long its been since you updated but they removed basic auth some time last year which caused sync issues, so if you re-add it, it will force OAuth.

Le sigh. Not so straightforward when it's an office account and I'm trying to work remotely. I'll need to go in to get them to reauthorise it.

Does anyone else have a recent Apple TV? I have two and the latest update has pretty much fucked it. They’re trying to change the menu systems and it constantly locks up and needs resetting. The fact that the same thing has happened to two different devices suggests it’s pretty widespread unless I’m just very unlucky.

I've a 2021 2nd gen and a 2022 3rd gen 4K in use amongst the family and neither has had any of the issues you mention.
Other than the way they're trying to change the menu on the Apple TV+ app, I've been very happy with them. No real problems apart from mine (2nd gen) which very infrequently boots up with a lovely pink "filter" over the entire screen, but I think that could be my HDMI connection. A reboot sorts that out each time though.

Also the update in general is dreadful.

I've got two and both have been fine, the latest updates have made some good UI improvements. The only problem I have is sound, they're both paired to HomePod Minis and both connections are glitchy.

Good UI improvements? There's no accounting for taste I'm a fully invested fanboy, but Apple's latest UI overhauls of TV and Watch OS have been pretty naff; both (in my mind) have made things counterintuitive.

WatchOS is frustrating now: my muscle memory has not yet recognised which direction I need to swipe.

The TV UI seems to be in transition at the moment. I guess they didn’t want to change it all in one go but it’s definitely neither one thing nor the other at the moment. Might be ok once they fully see it through.

I hope so. Seems like they definitely had some stakeholder disagreement when it came to removing the TV Show and Movie apps.

There's no accounting for taste Well I prefer the side panel to the weird separate Apple TV+ 'app' that wasn't an app. But most of all I like the long press on the home button that brings up the little miniplayer at the top which lets me change key settings quickly without diving into the settings menu.

I have an iPhone question. My wife has an iPhone 12. Recently my daughter started using a hand-me-down iPhone, so I duly set up the family thing, using my wife's Apple ID as she's under 13. Since then, my daughter's phone number appears to be the primary and I can't delete my wife's number from my daughter's phone. Which means she gets all my wife's calls.
If I look at the Apple ID details on my wife's phone, her number isn't associated with Facetime/iMessage and I can't seem to find a way to make that happen (claims an Apple device isn't associated with that number, when it clearly is). Help! I didn't have this issue with my son's account when he used an iPhone, so I've clearly fucked up somewhere.

I’m not entirely clear on what you’ve done, but my 12 year old has their own ID managed by me as the ‘organiser’ of the family.

Hmm. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I find it all way more confusing than Google but I guess that's because I don't use iOS at all.

If you go into the family bit of the iCloud bit in settings there’s an option to create a child’s account.

It’s far easier if you set up the girl with her own iCloud account managed under the family group otherwise you get bits of info all over the place.

I think I must have been pissed. I had created her an account but managed to sign in on her phone with my wife's account. So that's sorted. Although still can't associate my wife's number with iMessage etc.

What you’ve done here, Doug’s, is gone and fucked it up
Good luck un-fucking it. I’ve spent a year trying to work out how to fix my mum’s iPad. Learning one: Don’t give a landline number for 2fa Mum. It really fucks everything up.

Why don’t Apple do any TV shows in 4K? It’s really strange.

To be more clear I was referring to the non Apple TV+ content. The paid for stuff.

4k tv seems to have some exclusivity stuff going on. For the longest time not even HBO/Max had GoT in 4K, it was a Vudu exclusive.

It seems strange that there’d be exclusivity for everything. Seems more likely to be an Apple thing which is weird.

Oh yeah, that is odd. Haven't noticed that until now, though I don't have many purchased shows.
