@atpfm Eventually, had to erase the watch and pair it with the new phone as a new watch. Fortunately, the watch backup on the phone worked and I had my watch back after a lot of app downloading and installing. I got to the Apple Store (75 min drive), left there at 4:45 after driving home having dinner and watching a bit of TV with my wife, all while futzing with the phone and the watch, now it’s 10:45 pm and I think I have everything working - whew! /end
@atpfm After skipping the 2nd Apple ID the phone setup seemed to complete. A couple Apple two-factor autos popped up and completed ok. Then came the watch. It started pairing and then failed several times in the store. The Apple tech blamed it on bad Verizon signal in store (1 bar). Finally erased the old phone, did the trade in and went home to finish things. New phone now failed to see the watch. It was still paired with the old phone I no longer had?!? /2
@atpfm - migration to iPhone 15 experience not great. 3+ hours in Apple Store. I have two AppleIDs , use the old (now secondary) ID for media and subscriptions. The two factor auth got stuck between phones and the code never came through. This was at a point where the old phone was off the Verizon net, but the new phone wasn’t on the net yet. 3-4 diff Apple employees tried different things for almost 90 min before we gave up and skipped that step. /1

@caseyliss @marcoarment @siracusa Finally got in around 06:20 MDT

Green iPhone 15 - 128gb for wife, deliver 9/22

Blue iPhone 15 Pro Max - 1TB for me, pick up 9/22 (delivery wasn’t until Oct)

I was triple-wielding:

• iPhone on Verizon/cellular
• iPad Pro on Verizon/cellular
• MacBook Pro on Verizon FiOS

For the first time ever, the FiOS connection won the CDN lottery. I got my phone through on the MBP, and then the iPad woke for Erin’s phone.

Godspeed, everyone. And remember: https://themarcooffset.com

@caseyliss @marcoarment @siracusa Apple Store still not “open” for me in either the app or the web 😬

App Store

Needed a palate cleanser and something easier to give my brain a little rest. Dropped this in real quick.

Available to TestFlight people now; available publicly in the next couple weeks.

@ivory hate to bother you, but I just tried installing Ivory on my Mac and then “restore purchases” but it claims there are no valid subscriptions found. But I do have a subscription, unfortunately all my subscriptions are tied to a different Apple ID (the iPhone let’s me do that). How can I get the app on my Mac to check the other AppleID for a valid subscription. I love the app, but I’m not sure I want to pay double. TIA
@caseyliss congrats on the Call Sheet roll out! The App looks great. I am now a fan of two people with a version of “limitless” in their business:
1) you - limitliss LLC
2) Lexi Limitless - lexielimitless.com (travel blogger)
Small world!
