Apparent Hub Fix for Apple OS 14.4 Update

Having problems with your devices, monitors, keyboards, mice, using a  hub after updating to Apple Sonoma 14.4? Someone in the Apple Support Community has mentioned that this has helped him, though no one is sure if it will be a permanent fix, but give it a try; I had the same issue with an LG monitor connected by USB3 -- the mouse plugged into the USB hub on the monitor didn't work after the 14.4 upgrade. Rebooting, reconnecting wires, etc, didn't help. However, this worked: System Settings->Privacy&Security->Allow accessories to connect->Ask every time Turn off monitor (at the wall is best) and disconnect it Reboot Reconnect the monitor then turn it on. At this point I got a popup asking if I agreed to the assessory and I answered yes. Since then the mouse works fine. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Second Thoughts on Photography and Ai

Image
 Should Photography shake hands with AI?  Good question. A follow up question is, Will AI take the place of Creativity? I am in a place now that suggests, it depends. If one approaches photography, as a creative, that is a creative aspect of their use of a camera, in the development of their creating images, then I don't believe so. However if one is merely flooding the internet with pop up imagery, then yes only because there will be so much of the same it won't really affect creativity. Take a look at how the very earliest photographic images were taken; images were captured more by experimental means of whatever a lens could imprint and expose simply what was there. No conscious effort was made by  Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in capturing this photo. It exists today exactly as it was taken and was never changed in any creative way. He didn't make any adjustments to it.  The earliest saved photographic image (Heliograph on pewter plate) from 1826 or 1827 by Joseph Nicéphore

The Fix for Copy & Paste Issues between Apple Devices

 Yes I know this has nothing to do with my Photography Unless I am trying to post a photo within this blog from my Mac But it has been a problem, with those using Apple devices, for a while now and I wanted to offer an article I ran across to help those with this issue. Once I got used to the ability to copy from one device to another, Apple device, iPhone to Mac, Mac to iPhone, or iPad it was really annoying when this stopped working.  And once I found this article, I only used the first 6 steps before trying, and it solved the problem. I can now again C&P back and forth as it was meant to use right out of the box. So you might try just resetting the Clipboard, and if that is not the fix then start at the top and work your way through the steps until it is working again.  The article I consider to be a very well written set of instructions at least for me. And I have posted this article to the Apple Community, in hopes it will help anyone else experiencing these issues Here is the

My Method for a Merry Christmas

My Method for Having a Merry Christmas Over all the years of my life, I have enjoyed this Holiday season. I have family near me, we aren't scattered around the country, or the world as many others are. We keep in touch in every way available, phone calls mostly, but in person and texting and emails too. We are a close-knit bunch. So perhaps it's easier for those of us who share this situation to maintain a warmth inside for our family and ourselves. And  on years that may have taken me to my knees, I always found a way to enjoy it regardless, because of something my Grandfather told me while we were out fishing.  We had walked in to one of his favorite fishing holes. I was perhaps 9 or 10, and hadn't yet been able to bring a fish in, while he had moved downstream just a bit. I could see him hooking up and reeling in a fish, or releasing one. Then he brought in another, while I was struggling to keep one on my line. The fish were there, I just wasn't skilled enough to do
