Welcome to Macintosh — Mark Bramhill’s excellent, well-produced podcast about Apple and the Apple community — is using Kickstarter to fund a third season. I recommend listening to the podcast if you haven’t, and I recommend backing the project. Bramhill does great work, even if he’s so young that I needed to explain to him what MacWEEK was for his episode about Apple rumors.
I’ve got a bunch of openings for Six Colors weekly sponsorships this fall. If you’ve got a product or service that you’d like to market to a bunch of engaged and technically savvy people, get in touch.

There used to be a Mac add-on called SoundMaster that let you wire different sound effects to different system functions. A sound for emptying the trash, a sound for shutting down, a sound for starting up—you name it, it could play it. And SoundMaster came with a bunch of sounds, including one that’s simply a guy’s voice saying the word “Beep.”
Along with the redesign of iOS 7, Apple lavished some attention on the ringtones and text tones in iOS, adding dozens of new ones and relegating the original sounds to classic status. It strikes me that the Mac could use a bit of an audio upgrade, too. Its alert sounds and sound effects haven’t changed in ages.
The Mac comes with 14 built-in alert sounds, all available from the Sound Effects tab of the Sound preference pane. One of them, Sosumi, dates from System 7. Three more—Glass, Purr, and Submarine—date from Mac OS 9. Six others (Basso, Frog, Funk, Ping, Pop, Tink) are from the earliest days of OS X. The newest ones seem to be Blow, Bottle, Hero, and Morse—and they’ve been around since at least Snow Leopard in 20091.
These alerts don’t just show up as system beeps. They also appear in other places, such as alert sounds when you’re reminded of calendar events. And they’re just so stale.
What I’m saying is, the Mac’s in need of an audio upgrade. Alert sounds aren’t the same as ringtones (ringtones can be very long), but wouldn’t it be nice if my Mac had access to the 40 alert tones Apple has hidden away at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ToneLibrary.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AlertTones ? Why keep the Mac so bland, with only 14 dusty sound effects, when there are 40 new ones already on my Mac, but hidden away and not linked properly to the rest of the system?
In the meantime, I encourage you to customize your Mac’s alert sound. Any AIFF or WAV file dropped into ~/Library/Sounds will appear in all the same places as all of the default alert sounds, including Calendar and the Sound preference pane. (Don’t make them too long, though.)
In that folder on my Mac is a sound file I’ve had since the early ’90s. It’s that SoundMaster sound (since converted into an AIFF) of the guy saying “Beep.” It helps make my Mac—all of them, in an unbroken chain from the spring of 1990 to the present day—feel like home.
One of the most fun things about the Mac is the ability to personalize it. Maybe it’s time for Apple to give macOS users a little more audio variety.
[Thanks to Stephen Hackett for digging out a couple of old Macs to check on the provenance of old alert sounds.]
These days, our lives are littered with the half-built scaffoldings of intelligent assistants and virtual agents. Voice-based interfaces are at a level with technologies like home automation and virtual reality: Popular enough to have seeped into our lives, but not yet refined enough that they have become fixtures for most of us.
Apple’s version of Siri turns five years old this month, but as I’ve before discussed, it doesn’t seem to have progressed as much as one might have hoped. This week, veteran tech journalist Walt Mossberg penned a scathing indictment of Apple’s voice-based assistant, in which he posed the question that most of us have asked at one time or another: “why does Siri seem so dumb?”
He’s not wrong. While I’ve had better luck than Mossberg in some of my interactions with the feature, I run up against rough edges pretty much every single time I try to use Siri for anything. Most of my iPhone-using friends tend to view Siri as more of a curiosity than a useful tool. Last year I put forth some ideas about what a Siri 2.0 should include, but let’s take a step back and look at the bigger issues here.
Over at 512 Pixels, Stephen Hackett wonders about the path Siri is on:
I understand Apple wanting to make sure that Siri’s core functionality of controlling your iOS device keeps getting better. That stuff should be bulletproof, but we’re five years into Siri’s life. The company should be moving past these features and making Siri smarter about the world around us.
As Stephen points out, Siri bails out and shows web pages way too often, among other failings. In my optimistic moments my hope is that there’s a major upgrade to Siri coming and that’s why so much progress seems to have stalled; in my pessimistic moments I remind myself that Siri is a cloud service and updates can roll out all the time, so what we see is what we’ve got.

When I first got my Echo Dot, I commented that I had to change the wake word from “Alexa,” which I was using with the full-size Echo, to “Echo,” because otherwise, the two would race to answer my query. Sometimes they’d respond in sync, but sometimes they’d be slightly offset, which would be maddening. My conclusion?
It would be nice if the two Echo units could somehow work together to improve the microphone coverage in my house and then route replies to a chosen device–kind of like running multiple Wi-Fi base stations on the same network–but that’s probably a ways off. I have a pretty small apartment, which makes it feasible to have just one Echo, but for those who have a house, the Dot could be a nice ancillary device if there’s someplace outside of your existing Echo’s coverage.
“A ways off” turned out to be only about six months. Amazon today began rolling out the Echo Spatial Perception (ESP) feature that it first announced alongside the second-generation Echo Dot; as soon as I saw this morning that the feature was live, I changed my Dot’s wake word back to “Alexa” so I could try it out.
In short, it’s just as good as I’d hoped.
Standing in my living room, I can see both the full-size Echo in my kitchen and the Dot in my office. So I tried a variety of simple queries, such as asking about the weather, the date, the time, and so on. In every case, both of the Echoes lit up when I made a request, but only one ended up responding. Moving closer to one made it much more likely that it would be the one to answer.
My immediate response was that Apple needs a similar feature on Siri–especially if they ever implement Hey Siri on other devices like the Apple TV or Macs. My iPhone and its paired Apple Watch seem to do okay with not both triggering Siri at the same time, though you can sometimes confuse them. (I also had a couple times in my quick tests where neither of them responded.)
The ESP feature makes it a lot more plausible to have multiple Echoes in the same house, but I can think of a couple ways it could be improved. For example, I pretty much never want to play music on the tinny speaker in the Echo Dot, so it would be great if there were option to, say, always have music start playing on the full size Echo, even if the Dot is the one responding. Or if there were simply a way to address each device: “Alexa, play NPR in the kitchen,” for example. Some of that capability may be possible with the upcoming Sonos integration that Amazon has previewed, but hopefully it will be available for multiple Echoes too.
Right now, though, I’m mostly happy not to have to remember whether to say “Alexa” or “Echo” based on which room I’m in. My life with robots just got a little bit easier.

For the past year I’ve been traveling with a 12.9-inch iPad Pro and leaving my MacBook Air home whenever possible. Traveling with only an iPad can feel freeing and it can also feel confining, depending on what you need to accomplish. This week I took a trip and brought my laptop along like the old days, and was reminded about what the iPad does well and where the Mac still has the upper hand.

As rumored, Amazon is throwing its hat into the music streaming fray with a new $10/month streaming plan dubbed Music Unlimited.
With so many music services already on the market, what’s Amazon bringing to the table? The key attraction seem to be its attempt to undercut competitors’ pricing: if you’re already an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can pay a discounted rate of just $8 per month to add Music Unlimited to your account–it goes down further if you pay the yearly fee of $79. (A $15/month or $149/year six-person family plan is in the offing for later this year.)
Moreover, Amazon has also–again as predicted–launched a version of the service that’s available only on the Echo. For $4 a month, you can stream music via Amazon’s device–if you have more than one, it’s only available on one at a time–and only via the Echo. The major attraction there seems to be the many voice commands one can use to interact with the service via Alexa, which let you play songs by specifying lyrics or ask for the latest song by an artist.
Prime Music, the music streaming option that was included with Amazon Prime subscriptions, will stick around, but it has a much smaller catalog than the new offering: only two million compared to the “tens of millions” that Amazon cites for Music Unlimited. The company doesn’t seem to be aiming for the same music-exclusives market as Apple, but it is working with some artists to offer commentary on some of their albums.
As an Echo user, I find myself intrigued by the Echo-only plan. I’m not sure if it make sense or not yet–given that I don’t currently subscribe to any music plans, it seems like the $8-per-month Prime option might actually be a better deal. But then there’s a question if Music Unlimited will work as well with the rest of my devices–Macs, iOS devices, a Sonos–as something like, say, Apple Music. Perhaps that’s the streaming music market in a nutshell: a lot of options, none of them obviously superior.

Stephen Hackett parses Apple’s stingy iCloud policies:
As this layer of glue becomes more important, the free 5 GB plan becomes increasingly problematic. It may have been fine when Apple announced iCloud five years ago…. Today, countless little niceties depend on iCloud, and simply don’t work with a full account. Due to the 5 GB limit, people go as far as turning off their device backups, leaving their data at greater risk of being lost.
Something has to give here. At some point the need for a better user experience has to override Apple’s desire to maximize services revenue. Right, Tim Cook?
Dropbox today announced some major updates to its iOS app, including support for in-app PDF signing, a new Widget, and an unexpected iPad feature added in iOS 9:
With support for picture-in-picture, you can now watch a video from your Dropbox while working in another app on your iPad. And in the coming weeks, we’ll be launching split-screen support that lets you work seamlessly within Dropbox and other apps at the same time—without having to toggle back and forth.
I never really thought about Picture in Picture support, but there it is. Even more exciting, though, is the announcement that Split View support is coming soon. That will fill a big gap in my iOS productivity.
A really fascinating (if a bit technical) piece from Ars Technica’s Dan Goodin on a way that encryption keys could be seeded with prime numbers that make them easier to crack:
Since the early 1990s, researchers have known that certain composite integers are especially susceptible to being factored by NFS. They also know that primes with certain properties allow for easier computation of discrete logarithms. This special set of primes can be broken much more quickly than regular primes using NFS. For some 25 years, researchers believed the trapdoored primes weren’t a threat because they were easy to spot. The new research provided novel insights into the special number field sieve that proved these assumptions wrong.
In short, there are a few things going on here. One is that the 1024-bit key length that’s in wide use and presumed to require an unreasonable amount of time to compromise could in fact require only about a tenth of the time that was previously thought. There’s also the question of the provenance of the random numbers used to generate encryption keys–some suspect that the NSA may have had a hand in some of the sources that are often used, seeding them with these “trapdoored” prime numbers.
The best alternative currently seems to be trying to move as much encryption as possible to 2048- or 4096-bit keys, which–at least for the present–require much, much longer to crack.

As good as the smart light setup in my house is, one thing I’ve found somewhat limiting is the lack of input. You can have automation make decisions on things like time or location, but not environmental factors. For example, I have a floor lamp in my office that’s on a timer: it comes on in the evening and turns off when I go to bed. But sometimes–especially in the dead of winter–it gets a bit dark and grim in my office, and it’d be nice if it could automatically turn on during the day if it wasn’t very sunny.
When Philips announced earlier this year that it would be adding a $40 motion sensor to the Hue family, I was interested–but it wasn’t until I noted that it had a built-in daylight sensor that I decided I needed to test it out.
The sensor arrived late last week, so I had a little time to set it up and play around with the configuration. The hardware itself is very nice; it’s a small, solid-feeling little device with a wide-angle sensor and an optional mounting kit1. Setup was simple: just pull the plastic battery tab out of the back of the sensor, which activates it, and then find it using the Hue app. Choose which of your existing rooms you want to place it in, and you’re basically all set. Because it doesn’t require a plug, you can put it basically anywhere.
You can tweak the motion sensor’s behavior in a few ways–for example, you can define different actions for Day and Night, which themselves are determined based on hours that you set. You can also set a daylight threshold–if that threshold is met, the actions won’t trigger.2 And you can adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection, from low to high. Finally, you can choose to have the lights turn off after a certain amount of time if no motion is detected.
Here’s where I ran into some problems. One thing I found frustrating is that the Day/Night periods are inextricably linked. You can decide when the day starts and when the nights starts, but it automatically adjusts the other’s end point. So you can’t have, say, daylight run from 8am to 5pm and night from 7pm to 5am. So, if you want different actions triggered in the evening hours versus overnight, that’s not really possible. (And given that daylight hours change over the course of the year, this may require some tweaking in different seasons–it’d be handy if they let you base it on local sunrise/sunset times.) I’ve played around with a few different settings for these two periods, but haven’t yet found one that really accommodates my setup.
Similarly, the trigger for what happens after no motion is detected is equally limited. While you can choose from a variety of intervals between 1 and 60 minutes, there are only two options: turn off the lights or do nothing. If you choose to have the lights turn off, they dim around 30 seconds beforehand. However, this setting applies to both Day and Night–you can’t choose separate options depending on the time of day.
For me, that interferes with the timer on my office light. Because after, for example, 20 minutes without detecting motion, the office light will turn off–even if it’s during the hours when I’d usually have it on. But if I try the other tack and tell the timer to do nothing after no motion is detected, it might end up staying on all day, which isn’t ideal either.
I also ran into some issues with the daylight sensitivity setting: even when the app itself told me that there was sufficient daylight and it wouldn’t turn on the lights if motion was detected, it would sometimes turn them on anyway. Adjusting the slider to require more daylight seemed to help somewhat, but it’s possible there’s a bug in the software.
So far, the motion sensor seems to require using the Hue app; there’s currently no support for other smart home protocols, such as HomeKit (the Home app couldn’t find it when I searched for new accessories). The motion sensor requires the Hue Bridge in order to work, so hopefully that means the motion sensor uses the same API as the smart bulbs. I’m hopeful that at least some third parties will add support for using the sensor.
Overall, the Hue motion sensor is a mixed bag–but fortunately, most of the things that frustrate me appear to be software issues, which are certainly easier to fix than hardware. Given that the device has only just come out, I’m hopeful that even if it isn’t just what I need right now, it might become that in time.

A nice review of the iPhone 7 from Federico Viticci of MacStories.
I started testing the iPhone 7 thinking that a small phone could no longer fit in my daily life, and I’m still going to upgrade to an iPhone 7 Plus. But using the iPhone 7 also made me appreciate the meaning of changes that will reshape the iPhone platform going forward – something that’s more significant than endlessly debating what we left behind.
It’s got all the depth and consideration I’ve come to expect from Federico. It’s fun to read product reviews that don’t come under the intense pressure of initial release and embargoes—they have a very different tone, and I like it.

So many of macOS Sierra’s new features are about freeing up space from our fast-but-tiny solid-state drives. In addition, Apple has extended support for iCloud Drive to optionally include your Desktop and Documents folder, and mixed those two approaches together to create a third feature, called Optimize Mac Storage.
I like what Apple’s going for, but both of these features have problems, and some of them bit me when I was writing my review of Sierra. Let’s take a much closer look at what’s going on with syncing and optimizing, including the bugs, the missed opportunities, and the workarounds.
In Sierra, iCloud Drive finally gets to break out of its own protected folder and into the system at large.
In reality, that’s not quite what’s going on—when you first install Sierra, you’re asked if you want to sync your Desktop and Documents folders with iCloud. If you turn this feature on, your Desktop and Documents folders are really moved inside iCloud Drive, with the old locations linked to your home folder so that everything behaves more or less normally. (Except when there are bugs—a few of my apps seemed to get confused when those folders changed locations.)
iCloud syncing is pretty robust, and once I got up and running with this feature, it worked as advertised. However, the act of turning it on can be terrifying, especially if you’ve already turned it on while using a different Mac. If your Mac discovers that another Mac is already syncing its Desktop to your iCloud Drive, Sierra will create new folder called “Desktop – Your System Name” inside the Desktop folder within iCloud, and move your files inside. (The same thing happens with your Documents folder.)
What this looks like in the Finder: All your files disappear off of your desktop. Maybe a few new files from your other Mac appear. If you keep your key files on your Desktop, it can be terrifying. However, if you look around, you’ll probably see that “Desktop – Your System Name” folder, and all your files should be in there.
Apparently Apple didn’t anticipate this moment of terror, though it should’ve seen it coming. The right thing to do is probably to generate a warning for users, and maybe leave that folder open in a Finder window. Even better would be to give the user a few options when they turn on Desktop and Documents syncing on a different Mac—keep the two Desktops separate, merge them together, or set either one of the Macs as the “real desktop.” But right now, the first Mac wins and the next Mac stuffs its files into a subfolder and waits for the user to sort it out.
Because I wrote a book about Photos, I bought a huge amount of iCloud space to sync my entire Photos library. As a result, I was able to sync everything in my Desktop folder—even huge audio files—to iCloud without difficulty. If you don’t have enough free iCloud space to sync your Desktop and Documents folders, Apple will offer you the exciting opportunity to buy more. If you decline, Apple won’t let you enable this feature.
(Later, if your folders surpass the amount of space available on iCloud, you’ll get an alert and your files will stop syncing with iCloud. They’ll still be present on your Mac, safe and sound, but syncing will stop until you free up or purchase more iCloud space.)
Combine the concept of purgeable space and the ability to sync more files with iCloud and you get a third key feature of macOS Sierra. When you turn on syncing of the Desktop and Document folders, the Optimize Mac Storage feature is turned on. (You can turn it off in the iCloud Drive section of the iCloud Preference Pane, and probably should, for now.)
Optimize Mac Storage is a feature that defines files that have been uploaded to iCloud as purgeable, more or less. Apple prioritizes your files so that things you’ve accessed recently will be kept around, but items you haven’t accessed for a long time can be removed. When a file is removed, it’s gone from your hard drive, but it lives on in the cloud, and can be downloaded again by clicking an icon in the Finder or when it’s demanded by an application.
Scary, right? But again, if everything’s working perfectly, you’ve just granted that tiny SSD on your MacBook an extra few hundreds of gigabytes of storage, because it can offload your old junk to the cloud. And if it turns out you need it, you can get it back.
If everything’s working perfectly. And if the system can truly differentiate between files you need and files you don’t.
So something bad happened when I was working on my review of macOS Sierra. As a responsible reviewer, I need to use all the features of a new operating system. That comes with some risks, but that’s why I’m here. Risk (of losing data) is our business.
Here’s what happened: While I was working on a podcast-editing project in Logic Pro X, a bunch of my audio files were removed by Optimize Mac Storage. I keep all my key files and projects on the Desktop, as many people do, and since this is a feature that’s designed to keep your work in sync, I decided I was not going change my workflow one bit.
Apple has since told me that I absolutely ran into several different bugs, as well as a few quirks of the file-management process. Many apps store all of their asset files in a single package file—it’s really a folder, but all the important files are stuffed inside so that if you move the package, everything comes along for the ride. A Keynote presentation file is actually a package with a Keynote document and all of the images and movies you dragged in, all bundled together.
Optimize Mac Storage works great with packages. It’s not going to delve down inside a package and get rid of your files—old projects can be optimized away, but new products will remain on your drive, and nothing gets plucked out of the inside of projects.
The problem with some apps—and Apple’s Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X fit into this category—is that either they don’t use packages, or stuffing all your files inside a package is optional. My podcast template keeps audio files in the same folder as my Logic project files, but they don’t live inside a package.
Now, it turns out that App developers can take advantage of file-coordination APIs to designate all the files that a given project is using, even if they’re not inside a package. If Logic Pro X used those APIs, perhaps my files wouldn’t have been touched, because iCloud would recognize that they were part of an active project. Alas, not even Apple’s own apps support all of Apple’s APIs. (Optimize Mac Storage apparently looks at the last time you opened a file in the Finder as a way to help determine the age of a file, but if you open a project file and that file then reads from other files, the feature doesn’t consider them actively used.)
The setup of my project folders, Logic’s lack of support for file coordination, and the bugs that made my Mac think it was much more space constrained than it actually was—this was the situation that conspired to make Optimize Mac Storage look at a few 14-day-old 600MB audio files and decide that they were old junk.
With any luck, Apple’s hot on the case of fixing the bugs. Perhaps the teams in charge of Apple’s pro apps are working on coordinating project files a bit more aggressively. And I suspect that I might be a little responsible for this new Apple tech note, which suggests that if you’re using a pro app, you should move your projects out of synced folders or turn off Optimize Mac Storage.
Yep, that’s Apple saying that people who use pro apps should just turn off or avoid using a major new feature of macOS Sierra. It burns a little—what’s the point of making new productivity features if some classes of Mac user just shouldn’t use them? What’s worse, it points out the larger risk in turning on Optimize Mac Storage: If you keep key files outside of a package—images you’re planning on dropping into a Keynote presentation, for example, but haven’t yet—you risk them being deleted by Optimize Mac Storage.
If your internet connection is permanent, fast and unmetered, this is no big deal. If you’re working on an airplane and discover that one of your files you were counting on is gone, welp… that sucks for you. Optimize Mac Storage offers no user interface, so there’s no way to designate certain files or folders as un-purgeable. It’s all or nothing. Either you take your chances or you walk away.
For many classes of Mac user, the risks are low and the benefits are great. For other classes, the right answer is to do what Apple recommends in its tech note: walk away.
We know that Apple will revamp some products on a pretty regular schedule: the iPhone, for example. Others get slightly less frequent updates, like the iPad or MacBooks.
But what about the Apple products that seem to sometimes go years without a refresh? There are more than a few of them, and while some occasionally find themselves in the rumor spotlight, others just continue chugging along as they are–perhaps doomed to an evolutionary dead-end, or maybe to be resurrected when Apple decides the moment is ripe.
Let’s take a moment to praise some of these unsung heroes, and hope that they may one day earn a press release or perhaps, unlikely as it might be, some stage time at an Apple event.
It’s a big time for the Apple Watch. Not only did it get its first hardware upgrade — adding GPS connectivity, waterproofing, and a brighter screen in the Apple Watch Series 2 — but it got a major update to its underlying operating system, watchOS. That means there are plenty of new opportunities to use your Apple Watch in ways you might never have known about before. Here’s a list of 21 top tips for the Apple Watch under watchOS 3.
