PC, TABLET AND PHONE TIPS
On this page I describe situations I encounter with the computer. I explain how I solved it.

Note: The pictures on this page are based on Dutch versions of the software.

Password in user name area. And it shows in the Auto-Complete List.


It could happen that you accidentally type your password in the user name area.
If you type your user name again, your password is also shown in the Auto-Complete List.
You can remove those lines:

Type in the letters until the line shows witch you want to remove.
Hover the mouse over that line BUT DO NOT CLICK.
See below.

Copied files to the same directory.


When this happens the files appear twice.
It looks like this:

Scheme.doc
Scheme - copy.doc

If this accidentally happened with a lot of files, you should select them alternately one by one. That's a lot of work. You can sort the files so, that the copied files are together.

  • Right click the top bar by e.g. 'name'.
  • select 'Creation date'

Note: In Dutch it is 'Aanmaakdatum'. I'm not sure if 'Creation date' is the correct translation.
Now the files are ordered so, that the copied files are close together and easier to select. If you want to check them, you can copy them to an empty directory.

Delete bookmark 'separator' line in FireFox.


If you want to delete the 'separator' line do as follows:
Hover the mouse over the separator line. The adjacent bookmarks may not change color.
Right-click on the mouse.
Select 'Delete'.
The line has disappeared.

Add your own music on iPhone with Apple Music subscription


When I got an Apple Music subscription, I noticed that I could no longer get my own music on my iPhone. I started iTunes, connected my iPhone to it and went to the iPhone icon (red arrow).

I couldn't check my playlists, they were gone. In iTunes it looked like this:

itunesMetAM


Solution: To be able to select your playlists again and put your own music on the iPhone, go to Settings on the iPhone and then to: Music.

appleMuziek


Then go to 'Sync Library' (Synchroniseer bibliotheek) and slide it out. On the iPhone, the playlists you created with Apple Music will now disappear, don't worry, they will come back.

Then click 'Synchronize' click.
