    I think the point he's making is you cannot initiate the file transfers
    from the PC side, it can only be done from the iOS side.

    Nope, lickspittle.

    That's his NEW point.

    Because his original point didn't work out.

    No, that's just his latest fallback position. Originally it was "It's impossible to get a photo from Windows to iOS without using internet servers".


    And what difference does that make anyway? File transfers between Windows and Unix is EASY. BTW, iOS is Unix. Using standard, included functionality on both sides. Nothing else needs to be installed on either side.

    NOW he is claiming that "We are brazenly fabricating imaginary iOS functionality that doesn't exist".

    But there is proof at the link I posted above. WITH screen shots.

    Arlen has been caught - once again - lying. He claims to have SO MANY iOS devices, yet he knows nothing about iOS. The fact that he refuses to acknowledge these SMB networking facts says all you need to know about him.

    So stop defending him.

    AFAICT, that wasn't 'Arlen''s point. I did make that comment, and I
    made it in an *Android* context, where it's not possible, because you
    can't have a (Windows compatible) SMB server on port 445 on (non-rooted) Android. (I also gave my alternatives for the Windows-Android case.)
    I also asked you (Tyrone) if iOS could have a SMB server on port 445.

    No, that's just his latest fallback position. Originally it was "It's impossible to get a photo from Windows to iOS without using internet servers".

    And what difference does that make anyway? File transfers between Windows and Unix is EASY. BTW, iOS is Unix. Using standard, included functionality on both

    Well, Android is 'Unix' too, but it still has the above limitation.

    Why does it suddenly matter where you initiate the transfer?

    When I'm working with my clients remotely via one of the remote desktop solutions, it can be important that I can initiate the transfer of a
    file from my machine...

    ...but that's because the other machine isn't where I am.

    As is almost always the case, There's an App for That™ (in fact, there
    are numerous apps that ).

    There are are numerous apps that let you initiate a transfer from any
    computer to an iOS device, typically through a web browser and over
    WiFi. You can find them easily with simple searches, too. But you're not interested in reality, because you desperately want to pretend it's
    supposedly not possible. 😉

    That's how it's done natively for every operating system except for iOS.
    1. Sit at Windows
    2. Plug the phone into the USB port
    3. Using the Windows file explorer, slide files onto the Android device.

    Open any file sharing app and follow the instructions which are
    generally to point a web browser to the iOS device IP address, then
    transfer to your heart's content. Works fine. Alternatively, connect to
    any SMB share in the Files app and transfer to your heart's content.

    It's telling you can't seem to figure out how do this very basic thing
    with your own devices when the rest of us have been doing it for
    literal decades. Your trolls are as weak as your intellect, little Arlen.

    Most people here aren't aware that you Apple trolls

    Fuck off, troll.

    Hi badgolferman,

    Logic. And sense. Equals reason.

    Like you, and like any logically sensible adult, I will agree with anyone
    who makes a claim that is logically and sensibly sound, and you know that.

    I will even openly & willingly apologize publicly if I say something that
    turns out to be incorrect - and you know that also.

    These Apple trolls? Hmmm.... they never do either.
    Their only goal is to defend Apple's honor... to the death. No matter what.

    With respect to the technical problem of copying files off of iOS to any
    other platform without using the cloud, the Apple trolls claim that iTunes
    can do it and that SMB can do it.

    And yet, Apple publicly disavows any support whatsoever of Linux.
    And Android.

    So how do these Apple trolls copy files from iOS to Android?
    (HINT: They don't. They lied.)

    When the Apple trolls claim to copy from iOS to Android using the Files SMB capability, they're lying because it's not possible (to my knowledge).

    If it is possible to copy from iOS to Android using SMB, let them tell me
    how they did it because Frank Slootweg taught me years ago that an unrooted Android can't set up an SMB server (due to the SMB ports being below 1024).

    And how do these Apple trolls use iTunes on Windows safely & securely?
    (HINT: They don't. They lied.)

    The Apple trolls are banking on us not knowing the facts about iTunes.

    It has been *many* years since the iTunes bloatware abomination had the capability of copying the IPA to the Windows platform (and even then,
    iTunes grabbed that IPA from the App Store - not from the iOS device!)

    So the only way they're doing it, today, is that they're not.
    They lied.

    Not only does that many years old iTunes bloatware abomination have known zero-day exploit which Apple has not fixed in those deprecated versions,
    but if the Apple trolls were to initiate that backup today using that old software, it *still* grabs the IPA from the *current* iOS App Store.

    So they lied doubly so (since what they claim is impossible to do).
    They can NOT get older IPAs. They can only get the *current* IPA.

    Not only do these Apple trolls have to use known exploited bloatware to do that, but that bloatware doesn't work on Android nor on Linux (which Apple
    says they will never support).

    In summary, I think I make a logically sensible reasonable case against
    using iTunes to copy files between iOS and every other platform we use.

    The Apple trolls vehemently (actually viciously) disagree.
    (HINT: That's what Apple trolls do.)

    Apple trolls think nothing of lying to defend Apple's honor to the death.

    This lack of logic & sense has been what the Apple Trolls have been doing
    for decades on any newsgroup which contains any other operating system.

    Hi badgolferman,

    Logic. And sense. Equals reason.

    Like you, and like any logically sensible adult, I will agree with anyone
    who makes a claim that is logically and sensibly sound, and you know that.

    I will even openly & willingly apologize publicly if I say something that turns out to be incorrect - and you know that also.

    You claimed I could own a BMW 135i because I didn't know how "bimmer"
    and "beemer" were used...

    ...yet you said just today:

    "Alan Baker has owned a bimmer for years and yet disputed what they're
    commonly called in technical circles; and Alan Baker claims to 'teach
    racing' and yet clearly has never studied the physics involved in
    navigating differently various basic curves."

    And given that I can prove beyond any doubt that I am a member (and past chairman) of the Race Drivers Committee of the Sports Car Club of
    British Columbia, and have SHOWN the proof, the last part of that
    sentence is clearly false as well.

    'The Race Drivers Committee organizes and operates the SCCBC Race Driver Training Program. The driver training program is an important part of
    preparing to enter the sport of racing at Mission and is a prerequisite
    to acquiring a Novice race license. The twice annual Race Driver
    Training program provides unparalleled instruction on handling vehicles
    under extreme conditions. For more information, visit the Race Drivers
    Training Program page.

    Membership on the Race Drivers Committee is by invitation only. The
    committee is comprised of some of the best racers in British Columbia.
    Most committee members have won championships in their class while
    others have done consistently well over the years and have proven
    themselves capable of excelling in all race conditions.'

    These Apple trolls? Hmmm.... they never do either.
    Their only goal is to defend Apple's honor... to the death. No matter
    what.

    With respect to the technical problem of copying files off of iOS to any other platform without using the cloud, the Apple trolls claim that
    iTunes
    can do it and that SMB can do it.
    And yet, Apple publicly disavows any support whatsoever of Linux.

    Another factual claim without any supporting evidence...

    And Android.

    So how do these Apple trolls copy files from iOS to Android?
    (HINT: They don't. They lied.)

    No one I saw claimed that files can be copied from iOS to Android.


    When the Apple trolls claim to copy from iOS to Android using the
    Files SMB
    capability, they're lying because it's not possible (to my knowledge).

    No one I saw claimed that.

    The rest of your straw man argument snipped.

    I don't know anything about Android, but using the iOS Files app I have successfully copied files to Windows and retrieved files from Windows.
    I have not been able to initiate the process from the Windows side
    though, and we all know why since that's been discussed ad infinitum.

    Speaking of file systems, one of the things that bothers me about my
    iPhone is the inability to enter the file system and clean out cache
    files. Some of the games on my phone are taking up to 13 GB of space
    when the app itself is only 250 MB in size. All that extra space being
    used is supposedly advertisements which have been downloaded that I
    must work through between games. I've tried to ask the support groups
    of these apps how to delete all that space and the only suggestion was
    to delete the app and reinstall it.

    What game is using 13GB of space?

    What have you tried to get rid of what you speculate is only cached data?

    Sorry, but your link doesn't load.


    All the free games which are supported by advertisements take up GBs of space. The apps themselves are reasonably sized, but their downloaded advertisements are massive.
    I wrote to the Backgammon support page and asked them why is it
    like this
    and how can I clean it out. They told me to clear cache and reboot. Well, I can only clear Safari or browser cache to my knowledge so I tried that and
    it did nothing. I wrote back and they said that’s just the way it is and the only other option is to delete the app and reinstall it.
    You could try offloading the game and then reloading it. That appeared
    to reduced the space used for at least one app of mine.

    Hi badgolferman,

    Being purposefully helpful (which is what Apple trolls can never be),
    I don't doubt that the ads, especially videos, take up huge space.

    As you know, I generally don't use apps which have advertisements (as I
    spend my energy finding better apps that do the same things, without them).

    However... the cartoonify apps (which are great) have these obnoxious
    full-page 30-second loud video popups - which at first shocked me that
    anyone would put up with such crap - until I found how to block them.

    Now I use the cartoonify apps all the time, and I don't see any ads.

    I'm not sure which one step did most of the blocking, but it might simply
    be that I started using privatedns settings which I think iOS has also.

    Looking at my Android, the privatedns server is adblock.dns.mullvad.net
    but each platform (unfortunately) sets up system-wide blocks differently.
    <https://avoidthehack.com/best-dns-privacy>
    Android uses the domain name while Windows uses the IP address.
    Sometimes you have to use the URL.
    It's a mess to have three ways, I agree. But it is what it is.

    I have no need for ad blocking on iOS because I've never seen an ad in iOS
    in my life, but again, that's because my apps on iOS don't bring up ads.

    If I were to be able to copy a photo easily to iOS and, at the same time,
    if iOS were to allow screenshotting of the protected views, I might do so.

    Looking up how to set a system-wide privatedns on iOS, apparently iOS 16 introduced a system-wide setting for DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
    iOS16+:Settings > VPN & DNS > DNS Servers > DNS over HTTPS
    Enter any desired free adblocking private dns server URL, e.g.,
    https://adblock.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query
    Tap "Save" in the top right corner.
    Your iOS device should now be using Mullvad's ad-blocking
    DNS server for all network connections (both Wi-Fi & cellular).

    Doing this simple step enhances privacy by preventing even your ISP from tracking you, and it prevents 3rd-party tracking also. But for you what it
    will do most is block all known ad sites that it knows about.

    This is good for you in every way, e.g., your system should be faster, it should have less garbage in your cache, you won't see ads that it blocks in
    any app, including in your web browsers, etc.

    If there's a downside, let me know as it seems to be a no-brainer to me.

    It didn't work for me when I wrote my last post.

    It works now.

    And taking a look at "Backgammon" I can confirm that after installation
    and first play, it's only taking up about 305MB.

    I have iOS 18.4 and the only VPN menu I see is VPN & Device Management.
    There doesn't seem to be a DNS menu in the VPN settings page.

    Do you even TRY to educate yourself on a subject at ALL before weighing in? >>
    There are more than a dozen VPN apps in the iOS App Store.

    For badgolferman,
    I try to be helpful, so I had tested it on my iOS 16 iPad.
    But I have an iOS 18 iPad also. Let me check it to help you.

    Strategically, you should *never* see an ad on any platform.
    If you do see an ad, you're doing something wrong (IMHO).

    On my iOS 18 iPad, let me look in the same place for you...
    1. Settings
    2. General
    3. VPN & Device Management
    Drat. It's not there. Mea culpa. I'm sorry. I led you astray.

    Let me google that for you... ah, it's somewhere else in iOS 18.

    1. Settings
    2. Wi-Fi (this assumes you're connected to an AP)
    3. Tap the current Wi-Fi AP connection blue (i)
    4. Tap on "Configure DNS" (scroll down to see it)
    5. Select "Manual"
    6. Tap "Add Server"
    7. Type 100.64.0.1
    8. Optionally repeat step 6 & 7 with 100.64.0.2
    9. The settings should take effect immediately

    You might have to do that for every AP (I only have one set up since this
    is an iPad that sits there every day watching Apple beg me to log in
    constantly - so it has no need to be on more than one Wi-Fi forever).

    Note that there are three ways to set DNS depending on the operating system
    and version, one of which is the IP address (as used above), another of
    which is the HTTP address (as I previously showed) and a third is the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) where you use whatever the platform wants.

    There are MANY privateDNS ad blockers, but this is the one I use on Android which works well for me. Your mileage may vary.

    What I'll do, to help, is I'll keep it set with those two additions (since
    I didn't have a private DNS set up on this iPad as this iPad is just
    sitting there, unused, waiting for Apple to unilaterally brick it).

    It has been my experience that after two years of NOT logging into Apple servers every day of your life, Apple unilaterally bricks the iPad. They
    did that twice to two different iPads of mine where the only way to unbrick
    it is to literally go to the Apple store with a government ID and prove who
    you are. So much for Apple's brazen public lies about privacy, huh?

    Let me know how it works out for you. I can't think of a downside.

    Sure, pumpkin. In that case it should be easy for you to point out the
    lie I supposedly told. I'll wait patiently for you to back up your words
    like an adult. Otherwise, your childishness will be on full display.

    ...still no response. You're the liar here.


    Out of 20+ posts in this thread by Jolly Roger most are filled with
    vitriol & profanities. Even the few that may be classed as vaguely
    helpful contain some of the same.

    Oh, yes, please do cry harder for the poor trolls who regularly call
    Apple users stupid, iOS devices dumb terminals, and claim Apple devices
    can't do what we all know they can do! How dare someone correct their
    bullshit using profanities (oh my!) and turn their own vitriol back on
    them! HOW UNFAIR TO THE TROLLS! No, you see, the people who stand up to
    bullies are the REAL BULLIES, guys! 🤣

    Here's a thought: If you can't take it, don't dish it out.
