  • Handoff issues (very temporary).

    From Alan@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 13 13:50:08 2023
    Well, I've never said Apple was perfect.

    Today, the "Handoff" feature between my iPhone and my MacBook Pro
    stopped working. I suspect it was related to the overnight software
    update on the iPhone.

    For those of you who don't know, Handoff allows quite a few things, such
    as allowing you to open a web page on your iPhone, and then continue
    reading it in the larger format of your Mac just by Command-tabbing to
    the Safari icon in the list tagged with icon of an iPhone (or accessing
    it in the Dock with the same tagged icon). It also allows you to copy
    text on one device, and then paste it on another device logged into the
    same AppleID.

    And today, it suddenly stopped working!

    For about 5 minutes. I turned the feature off, restarted the iPhone and
    the MacBook, and turned the feature back on and it was fixed!

    I know that the equivalent feature for your Windows machine and Android
    phone never fails...

    ...because it doesn't exist!

    more than likely operator error.

    And what could that "error" have been, hmmm?

    Describe a series of steps I could have taken.

    "Set up Handoff
    Use Handoff with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch that meets the Continuity system requirements. Handoff works when your devices are near
    each other and set up as follows.

    Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID."

    Both devices were signed in to iCloud at all times.

    "Each device has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on."

    Bluetooth and Wi-Fi were always turned on and both devices are always on
    the same network when I'm at home.

    "Each device has Handoff turned on."

    Both devices had Handoff turned on.

    So... ...thrill me.

    So again, I'll ask.

    What actual "operator error" could there have been.

    One day it was working fine.

    The next day, it wasn't.

    So, to recap. You had a weird issue. Rebooting fixed it.

    End of story. Rebooting can fix hundreds of weird issues. Why even
    report it here?

    Random example. About once every month or so, one/some/all of my many
    iPads here will boot up into a weird issue where starting ANY app results
    in a blank white screen. Been happening for many years and many versions
    of iPadOS. Rebooting always fixes it.

    I’ve never mentioned it to anyone before. Because computers are not
    perfect and shit happens.

    I can’t count the number of times my Windows laptops/desktops have had
    weird issues over the years: Wi-fi can’t connect. USB ports very slow. Screen is wrong resolution. Whatever.

    Of course, rebooting always fixes it. If rebooting does not fix it, then
    it is a real issue that can be brought up here or wherever.

    The problem didn't go away JUST by rebooting, little Johnnie.

    On both devices:

    1. Turn off the Handoff feature.

    2. Restart.

    3. Turn Handoff back on.

    Sorry, but if someone else gets the issue and tries either:

    turn it off and turn it on, or:

    just restart,

    then you're not going to solve the problem.

    How can you read something as short and to the point as what I
    wrote and
    get it wrong?

    I turned off the feature and THEN rebooted, and THEN turned the
    feature
    back on.


    No matter what the comment to your post you have a jackass reply.

    What was "jackass" about my reply, Little Shit?

    He got what I wrote wrong.


    It is jackass to post a "problem" that goes away when rebooting.

    The problem didn't go away JUST by rebooting, little Johnnie.

    On both devices:

    1. Turn off the Handoff feature.

    2. Restart.

    3. Turn Handoff back on.



    So what. Trivial and not enough to even complain about it. Unless one
    is just trolling.


    Sorry, but if someone else gets the issue and tries either:

    turn it off and turn it on, or:

    just restart,

    then you're not going to solve the problem.




    Almost everybody knows to do that. So it was a trivial complaint on
    your end.

    Funny then that you just claimed that all that was needed was a reboot.
