Select Dock

The Dock is called upon

by pressing the physical

side button on your Apple

Watch. Your selected

favourite apps will appear

here (unless you have it set

to display most recent).

Scroll apps

Either use your finger to

scroll up and down the

screen or use the Digital

Crown. In either case you’ll

be able to select an app

from your Dock.

All apps

If the app that you want

isn’t in the Dock you can

tap ‘All Apps’ at the bottom

of the list and you’ll be

taken to the Home screen

of your Watch.

Is it possible to use my Watch Dock to launch my favourite

apps, and not just my most recent? If so, how? Dean Etheridge

I have heard that it is possible to hide photos on my iPhone.

How is this done? Stephen Sinclair

1

Enable settings

Go to Settings>Notes and

then turn on the ‘“On My iPhone”

Account’, then tap ‘Password’

and enable ‘Use Touch ID’ or set

a new password.

2

Locate and share

Open your Photos app and

find the image that you wish

to hide. Tap on the share icon

and choose the ‘Add to Notes’

option. Now open Notes.

3

Lock down note

Finally, open the photo note,

tap on the share icon and choose

the ‘Lock Note’ option. Enter the

password and then delete the

image from your Photos app.

Recently my Mac has

stopped playing sound

through its speakers. Is

there anything I can do

about it?

We presume that you have

tried going to System

Preferences>Sound and

then making sure the right

output device is connected

and that the volume is at

a sufficient level? If so,

try resetting the NVRAM

by shutting down your

computer and then starting

it back up again while

holding the Cmd+Alt+P+R

keys. When you hear the

second startup chime, let

go of the keys and this

should resolve the issue.

You can hide photos by selecting an image, tapping

the share button and then choosing the ‘Hide’ option.

But this only moves it to the ‘Hidden’ section in the

Albums screen. To hide a photo more securely, you

can actually attach it to a note in your Notes app

and then password-protect the note to ensure that

no prying eyes can access it and view your hidden

images. Here’s how it’s done...
