    "Download Motorola Migrate from Google Play Store and install it on both of your old and new Motorola devices.\.......

     

     

    Thanks , I  will check that out , 

    the phone came from Amazon , when they had a sale earlier in the year .

    I have slowly been going thru my Google Play list and downloading the apps I still use and leaving out a lot that I do not remember why I downloaded them !

     

    I still  am not using the new phone , except on WiFi , 

     

    Anyway thanks for your thoughts , much better than Mr Google

  2. 10-15 years ago I was told by a security expert that  the CEO and all others in big meetings would leave their mobiles out of the meeting rooms because it was known that they were not secure , and that mics and cameras could be turned on remotely ,  and memory copied ,

     

    This was way before anyone knew of Pegasus ,  and how many other programs are doing the same thing ?

  3. There are some really strong metal snap rat traps you can buy down in the back streets of Chinatown ,  they are strong enough to take your finger off ,  they must have big rats down by the river !

     

    also they have the metal cage traps  ,  used one last night to catch a young possum and we relocated it today up by Beverly Hills !

     

    i have not heard of the strobe light idea , what does it do to  them and why do they not just come back when you stop using it ?

     

    I have heard of using wall plaster and oatmeal  as bait and keeping a bowl of water  nearby , they drink the water and the plaster  hardens.......

     

    My Rats do not like peanut butter unless i have the wrong brand !

     

    Good Luck

  4. I have one we put in my friends classic car and one I put in my car , 

    he is going to do the same and put one in his and the extra for mine ,

     

    then we can have 2 shots of getting a location  , and if they find one they will probably not look for another one , 

     

    it works pretty good , it not real time and  but it has worked good so far , 

     

    But we are tracking something big , no idea if you can find a lost purse if it ends up on the 3rd floor walk up in a dodgy part of town .

     

    So far I am very happy for $29US

    The OP wanted to learn about Apple Music.....

    I guess because he could not be bothered to maintain his own thread, certain characters have taken it over..

    I really do not know enough to ask smart questions  , 

     

    Its Thaivisa and there are always battles that creep into discussions ????

     

    Now if I could  find a  link to some play lists that would be nice ,  I   am still listening to AOL streaming that I recorded at Christmas 2007 ,  actually pretty good with maybe one commercial an hour , 

    I just started recording the stream when I went to bed and stopped it in the morning , so about 8 hours worth , 

    and it was at a low bit rate so it would fit on my 2GB MP3 player.

     

    Yes I am simple , AM radio quality is good enough for my old ears.....

  6. I took my AirTag for a ride on sunday  , I was impressed  how good it tracked , down to which parking space my  car was parked , 

     

    If  go to my apple ID account on an iMac ,  will i be able to also track the AirTags that are on my account ?

     

    I do not have an Apple computer but I would be good to know if I left my iPad at home  I could use a friends to get into  my Apple ID account , 

     

    I bought another  AirTag , activated it on my account and gave it to my friend to test ,  his kids have iPhones so it tracks to his house , now we will see what alarms ring and how long that takes ,  the final plan is to hide it in his classic car .

     

    Whenever I get back to BKK  I will bring put them on my suitcases  and day pack.

     

    Anyone else have one yet ?

     

    cheers

  7. I just got 6 months free Apple Music  when I bought my Airtag ,  nice  little extra , 

     

    But what can I do with it ? ? ?

     

    I have tried Spotify a few times and it was a lot of work to select music to play later , 

     

    so are there any tricks to make Apple Music easy ?   Is there a list of play lists that others have made up ?

     

    Mostly listen to old Blues , old reggae , 80s New wave , 60s-70s Rock but not Heavy Metal,

     

    And is there a way to record it to MP3 to  use on an MPS player etc , 

     

    I am not an apple guy , I have an ipad  and now the Airtag , but the rest is Android , 

     

    Thanks for your help ,  and if you want the same deal and are in the USA , the $29 Airtag includes 6 months Apple Music + apple News+

     

  8. Finally got around to setting it up......

    at first it would not connect.......it may have been the 2 factor and that I did not have a password on my iPad , 

    but it did not tell me that....

    Anyway I changed the battery  and then it seemed to connect , ????

     

    First thing , its small, about an inch across (25mm) but thick enough that you would not want to sit on it in your wallet all day long , 

    the "alarm sound"  is not that loud ,  maybe thats because its in my hand , but it would be very hard to find your lost item outside if this is as loud as it  gets  ,  I plan on putting it in my car   so we will see how many iPhone users are around the area.

     

    Overall if it works as it should I will be real happy ,  it can track my car , if I am shipping a pallet I can put it inside with a return envelope  and if I had a dog I could track it ????

     

    More info after I play  with it.....

  9. I am in the USA  right now.....

     

    Well I got my Airtag , but have not been able to get it to sync yet , 

     

    I think the battery is very low  as the you can hardy hear the Beep !

     

    There was a report that these were designed in 2019  but not put  out to the public ,  so maybe the battery drained ?????

     

    and it wants 2 factor , which i think I have set-up right  but not sure , 

     

    I will report once I get it going.....
