HOT 186: Recovery Email Accounts - Apple Screen Share, External Drives, AirPlay Troubles

Listen Later

On Hands-On Tech, Mikah answers a listener's follow-up question about being unable to remotely access their friends' Mac after a recent update, why an external drive is taking a while to be detected by a newer Mac, and a previous listener's follow-up question about a connection error they were having with their Apple TV and an interesting fix that was discovered.

  • Judy writes back in after asking their question a few episodes ago, providing additional details to about how, after a recent OS update, they cannot remotely access their friend's Mac via the Messages app.
  • MacFixerDK got a new M3 MacBook Pro but is having issues with the different external drives attached to it. They are looking for any help or resources to further troubleshoot the problem.
  • Nancy is having trouble playing back videos from YouTube or accessing websites through her web browser through Apple AirPlay.
  • Dan is looking to strengthen his email security after being prompted by Google to add a recovery email for their account. However, he doesn't have another email account! He wonders if he should create another email account just to be able to access his primary account if needed.
  • Ross followed up on his question a while back with a humourous fix for a connection error he was facing with his Apple TV.
