Kind of. Like I am cool and I set "jesus" to just be lowercase because I refuse to respect our lord and savior. However it only works for words without spaces so it will still change things it detects across spans of multiple words, like Jesus Christ. jesus and christ by themselves are fine but it will still "correct" them when put together.

Hmm, this is going to be pretty useful. I'm going to have to play around with it some now that I know about it. Really appreciate the help, thank you.

The shortcuts have plenty of non-obvious uses, I keep my phone number, email, and spam addresses in "##", "@@", and "@@@". Works for logins too, I wouldn't try passwords, 1Password is too easy. Also the intended usage, like: tf 10-4, ct Copy that, rt Roger that. Go wild people. Correctly training the auto-correct is a must, also you can override temporarily by WRITING IN ALL KAPS LOKE THUS Which is kinda fun sometimes, and you can also disable auto-corrections entirely via Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-correction. With keyboard suggestions on (the little grey bar above the keyboard) you won't see the x, your "incorrect" spelling is always on the left, when its in quotes it doesn't know that word but wants to learn, tap to tell it to remember that. With keyboard suggestions hidden or disabled, you see the good old x when getting suggestions. Hit the x when it suggests the wrong word, or if you don't quite catch it in time backspace TO the word and it will pop a bubble with your wrong spelling, tap that if you miss the first edit don't just back it all out. When you do this iOS will pretty quickly learn to suggest your spellings, or to force the issue just use the shortcut/contact workaround.

I have to side with the guy who is annoyed at some words always correcting to something (e.g. All caps) that you typed in maybe twice a year ago. I should actually reset my whole dictionary since I can't type JAPAN without the word JAPAN always coming out in all caps for some reason, even if I pretty much always hit the x on it. Which is a pain, because usually I don't bother capitalising the first letter since every other country corrects fine, like Germany.

I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to "force" iOS to update things in the background? I ask because I never manage my calendar on my phone - it is all imported from multiple Google calendars, and often times the notification center widget has very old or nonupdated events on the calendar until I open the Calendar app. Along the same lines, when I open the Google Calendar app (which doesn't have a widget), it refreshes and has not updated in the background at all. This is just really frustrating because I can't trust the widget to be accurate when its pretty much all I want to use to check my schedule. Along the same lines, waiting for the weather widget to refresh every time I pull the shade down is also annoying, but livable. The calendar app doesn't even do that.

Do you have background app refresh off? Have you considered using a different calendar app?

If I have the app active, the widget syncs immediately and without issue - with both Sunrise and default. If, then I swipe away Sunrise and delete an event on my web calendar, the widget does NOT sync at all. It appears the app needs to be at least somewhat active in the background just to use the widget. But the problem is I almost never actively manage the calendar on the phone - just web so the app is very rarely active. It would be nice if it did some sort of web call for the data like my other widgets (countdown, weather, etc) when I swipe down the shade so it can update directly at that time.

YMMV because BAR poo poo does not work well in my experience, I stick with 1st party cal/contacts/mail, linked with Google Apps (natch) except for "my contact" which lives on iCloud otherwise certain Siri features like "call bob's mom for a quickie" won't work.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on iTunes Match and how it all works? I just tried to sync 1 album to my iPhone and it erased all my music again, and I'm really loving tired of that happening every now and then against my wishes. So it'd be pretty cool to not have to deal with syncing anymore. But I heard that Match downloads songs to your device, so if that's accurate, then what's the point of this being a streaming service if it's gonna take up space on my phone just like my current music library does? Would I be able to shuffle my music library if all of the songs aren't downloaded or would they download one by one if I shuffle? I'm confused about it. It sounded like something that might work seamlessly, but then I read some articles about how it works and now I'm not so sure. I'm perfectly fine with paying the $25/year if it means I don't have to bother with syncing anymore and it does work seamlessly, but I don't want to pay for it if it doesn't. I have like 13,000 songs on my phone now, so a good deal of music but definitely under that 25k cap that Match has.

My iphone won't accept facetime calls (says connecting... indefinitely) when I'm at my computer. I think this is because when my computer (MBP) is on, it will try to intercept the call. How can I stop this? Edit: I just realized I could sign out of facetime. Duh

Match gives you access to your library that has been matched whenever you choose. So say out of your 10k songs you want to hear an album you haven't heard in years (so it's normally not synced). You can save it to your phone by clicking a download wheel and its magically on your phone. Or, as you described before you can play a song and it will cache it to your phone to play. Honestly I don't pay attention to how the phone manages this. What I do know is I have a 16gb 5 and I never have to manage my storage. If it's your kind of thing, match also gives you ad free iTunes Radio which I've replaced pandora with.

It's not really a streaming service so much as a cloud storage option for your music (that can sort of stream). It does work pretty much perfectly though. For instance, I changed a smart playlist on my computer in Northern Alberta so that it included a lot of new music. It changed the playlist and songs on my phone, but also my wife's phone 400km away. It also syncs plays and skips and ratings. The only hitch is that you have to manage your smart playlists on a computer.

Would I be able to shuffle my music library if all of the songs aren't downloaded or would they download one by one if I shuffle? The only thing that it sometimes has problems with is that if it detects an album with explicit and clean versions it will occasionally match the clean version. Also note the 25k cap doesn't apply to songs purchased on iTunes.

Okay, cool. I also watched this long YouTube video overviewing the entire process from signing up to listening on an iOS device, and it looks like it'd work well for me. I'm gonna try it out after I get home and see how it works. Thanks, y'all

I somewhat missed cloud storage chat but anyone used MEGA for camera backup? How's the app? I just picked up a 6 Plus after being on android for a year (never again) but the app on android crashed a lot. Part of that was probably due to Lollipop being an unmitigated disaster but is the iOS app any more reliable? Considering just putting the money down for a 20gb iCloud plan but MEGA gives you 50 for free. I love Dropbox but I don't need 1TB of storage.

I'm not sure if there's a Mac app, but photoSync sounds like your solution for Windows. I think there are some plugins for iPhoto to do the same for OS X, but a quick google didn't turn anything up.

It's probably a speck of dust under the screen. If you've got an Apple Store nearby and you don't mind people secretly judging you for being a sperg you could take it in and try and get it replaced. If it doesn't bother you that much you can just live with it and it might even go away eventually. It's not something that will tend to get worse at least.

Brand new iPhone 6. I've only had that happen after years of use on a phone, so it may be something that you can talk to them about at the Apple store, but I'm not sure how much they'll do for you. Also, are you sure it's dust and not a dead pixel?
