Mac apps that won’t open because the developer is unidentified<\/h3>\n

Every now and again, I’ll download an app on my Mac that gets flagged as unsigned on my Mac (“can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer”. It turns out that, if you hold down the Control key at the same time as clicking its icon, you can open it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dropbox (Mac) stuck importing photos<\/h3>\n

I use Dropbox to upload my photos from my phone (it names them nicely for me by date!) and then copy them across to OneDrive (where I have more storage).\u00a0A few months ago, I had a problem where I couldn’t upload my photos to DropBox. I’d plug my phone into a Mac, and the import would never finish. It showed a camera icon and said it was importing photos but didn’t show any progress, as though the DropBox app had hung. Looking around on the ‘net this is a common issue<\/a> – but there’s no sign of DropBox fixing it…<\/p>\n

In the end, my workaround was to upload the images directly from my iPhone, which seemed to clear the bottleneck, whatever it was…<\/p>\n

Virtual card numbers in an Apple Wallet<\/h3>\n

Those who use their mobile phone for contactless payments (Apple Pay, etc.) may not be aware that each registered card has a virtual card number – the 16-digit card number used is not the same number as the physical card. That’s why (for example), if you touch in to pay for travel in London using contactless on a card but finish the journey with contactless on your phone, Transport for London won’t realise that the two transactions are linked.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how to find the full card number for the device, but you can find the last 4 digits of the virtual card number by pressing the “information icon in the lower right of Apple Wallet<\/a>. That will give a whole host of information, as well as transaction history.<\/p>\n
