And the iPhone SE is completely intact despite its violent enforced trek across a hall last night. Perhaps the claims made for the LifeProof case have some validity. I did have to reclose the case at one end where the two parts had separated under impact.
I got cross & upset last night, trying to demonstrate an app at a user group meeting. First, I needed to connect the iPad to the wifi network so it could connect via AirPlay to the Apple TV connected via HDMI to the video projector. But the bastard thing wouldn't connect to the AirPort Express in the room despite the iPhone & the MacBook air connecting OK.
I explained clearly the name of the app & it was showing on the top left corner of the Finder window, nicely magnified FOR ALL TO SEE, yet people were still asking for its name.
I explained quite clearly what the app did, AND STILL PEOPLE WERE ASKING WHAT IT DID.
I use QuickTime X, select new movie & choose the iOS device as the camera & and then its display is mirrored to the projector along with the Mac's desktop in the background. The iOS thingie must be connected via USB for this to work, and the cable I had was not sustaining the connection. The iPad kept bonging as its charging process was interrupted because of the shit cable.
So I tried with the iPhone. For some ungodly reason, since Sierra, the iPhone won't show up on the screen in QuickTime, and QT itself crashes, totally defeating the exercise.
At that point I angrily gave up, shutting the Mac, asking for the next person in line to demonstrate their favourite app, then hurling the iPhone SE onto the carpeted floor and letting it crash into the timber shirting board & bouncing off the metal legs of several parked chairs, while telling it that it was a piece of useless junk.
Nothing went right with that presentation. NOT A FUCKING THING.
@phoneboy A friend & I do, occasionally, just to confuse others at parties.

Nightshirt soaked with gastric reflux fluids. It's just after 4 am & my throat is rather irritated. Coffee or tea is out of the question as the caffeine content will just increase the irritation. I'll have to hit my herbal infusion supply after I down a few antacids.
Fuck my life.
Simple fare for supper tonight: Highland oatcakes with a generous dollop of Quark cheese on top.
@kdfrawg The process selects ALL email in the inbox. Depending on how your email is set up, for example I can move the whole lot to an archive folder rather than the Bin.
A member of the Mac User Group who's now in an Aged Care facility wants to know why, in iOS 10, the ability to trash ALL emails en masse has been removed.
I found a workaround, but it's an extreme one: EVERY email gets deleted or archived. This lady has 2000 emails to deal with.
OF ALL THE SILLIEST, COCKED-UP IDEAS TO FIX A CRANKY MAC, THIS TAKES THE CAKE. I couldn't, despite multiple restarts, get the search window in Launchpad (my preferred app launcher) on the MacBook Air to respond. No problems with the action on the MacBook Pro. Wanna know what the cure is? Log out of the user account then log back in.
Yep, as simple as that.
