Ah...done! Could have finished a day or two earlier but didn't want to 'encourage' the Algo as to the August Challenge!

Normally this would be an easy goal for me (Earn 200% of your Move goal 17 times), but I have had too many car days recently (the wife and I went on a trip). I'll see if I can get back on track, but the heat will not help.

Also, got my 365 Move goals yesterday.

How did you (exactly) get the inserts to come in so small? I use 'insert' and choose the small of the two choices but it still inserts too big an image (as I'm concerned) . Thanks....

I use the "Attach files" button below the post (text) field vs. the Insert image menu button.

Yes ...so do I. Guess you start with a smaller image? I take a photo of the image from the iPhone...Airdrop to my MBPro and then update to this forum. So you're making yours smaller prior to uploading here and using the 'Attache Files' button?

I do this:
  • Take screen shot on iPhone and save screen shot to Photos
  • Export photo from Photos on Mac
  • Open picture and reduce the resolution / size
  • Upload smaller resolution picture to this thread using "Insert Image" button.
[Edit] I have an iPhone XR, so the default picture size is pretty large - that is why I started do the above steps for what I post in this thread.

My process:
  1. Take a screenshot on my iPhone.
  2. Edit it to remove the carrier/time/battery info on top.
  3. Save to Photos.
  4. Export image out of Photos on my Mac.
  5. Upload using the "Attach files" button.
The info on my exported photo:
  • Dimensions: 750x1294
  • Resolution: 144x144
I have the iPhone SE (2020).

Hey...has anyone else run across this issue:

We live at a trailer in the summer and have no wifi. We hotspot our iPads to our phones. My wife downloaded all her favourite Fitness+ videos to her iPad so she can workout at the trailer. After 2 or 3 weeks all of the videos say ‘Unable to play video’ when you try and play the workout. I can’t find anything online about this problem. Maybe people aren’t doing this so aren’t finding out it‘s an issue. Either way the solution I found was to go home to my wifi, delete all the downloaded videos, delete the app, download the app and then download all the videos again.

I have had to do this every 3 weeks or so. I spent a couple of hours on the phone with apple support and explained my issue to 4 different people and when the put me through to person #5 the cell call cut out. Apple support closed the case and never called back.

The iPad is connected through the phone hotspot on a regular basis so Fitness+ should have no problem keeping in touch with apple to verify billing status.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and/or if the know a better solution?

I just tried one I downloaded from January ....no problems! Did you check to see if Apple was having any server issues? I've seen where some have taken a second or so to go from 'blurry' to HD on my TV .


Just tried another and got 'Video is unavailable at this time' ! Hmmm...now I'm wondering as I've gotten that same pop up when trying to use a video in 'real' time! When that happened I assumed that too many were trying to access it at once ...which should not be a problem for a downloaded video! You (we) should also try posting about this on the monthly challenge thread.
 
Anyone notice, might not be new, that the Watch Fitness app after yesterdays update now tries to 'transfer' to the iPad? Like when Safari is open on a connected Mac you get the 'Safari icon/page' with a small Mac icon located in the app bar of the iPad? Just noticed today that if I open Fitness on my watch I now get a 'Fitness' icon in the app bar of the iPad with a smaller Watch Icon above it....? Something new or something new coming?
