Hooray
Some time ago, when I mostly used the mobile gadget, I was forced to provide proof of identity, something I found difficult to do considering I was required to give a password long since abandoned. Apple would not accept any of my efforts to prove my ownership or identity, but eventually Google came to my aid, I was obliged to return to the old Yahoo and reopen a long forgotten association. Somehow Google and I managed to convince the powers-that-be that I was a genuine person.
Two years later, it starts all over again. This time because I had a new phone that didn't allow me to post comments or whatever to MY OWN BLOG. It was no use even trying to remember a password of long ago. All passwords are recorded in my little red book, but none of them fit this particular bill.
I gave up. It took a while for me to discover that using the laptop produced no setbacks such as those just written. My blog was accessible, and when I tried, so was everything else. But not on the phone....
I do the same thing Valerie, I keep all my passwords (all 50 million of them) in a book for safe keeping, just in case I forget them.
ReplyDeleteI too cannot post comments on blogs while using my phone (even on my own blog). If I wish to leave a comment on a blog, I have to do it on my desktop computer. However, when I still had a laptop, I could comment on blogs.
Hope your weekend was lovely, my friend!
Hi Ron. I have all mine entered in a book, my trouble is knowing the right one to use on certain occasions. However, whilst I have the laptop I'm still laughing. I'm not happy at the way Apple badgers us.
DeleteMy weekend was peaceful, but sometimes I wish I could go out and enjoy some fresh air.
We not have two-factor verification on our Apple devises, set up quite inadvertently on both our parts. At first, we were rather upset especially when we learned there was "no going back to pre-factor status" but then we learned we won't need to enter a code every time we sign onto our devices, so our anguish was somewhat relieved. Technology can often cause more headaches than not it seems.
ReplyDeleteYour final sentence echoes my own feelings about technology.
DeleteI love my laptop but I don't love the fact that I can't interact with Blogger and make comments, on my blog and others. Sometimes it is very frustrating. But I may have an idea and if someone out there can verify this, I would be grateful. There are a couple of blogs that I can comment on and I once read, wish I knew where because it was one of those days when my brain was on half power apparently, that it was something to do with the way a blogger had their comment page set up, whether it was embedded, full page or pop-up window. I can still comment on these blogs but most of the time on others cannot. Wish I could know for sure.
ReplyDeleteI feel your frustration, Denise. I am assuming you don't have a problem on m blog. Hope I am right.
DeleteAlso, I have my laptop so I do all my blogging on there. I still love my iPad but only mostly for reading.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more infuriating than computers or mobile phones playing up. How did we ever manage before we had them?
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew the answer to your question, Dave. We have become slaves to modern technology methinks
