Accelerating long documentations, lectures, lectures or other videos saves time when absorbing information. The Speed player for Safari on Mac helps. Because not all video players for the web browser come with the option of setting the video speed individually. As a standard option, the Speed Player offers speeds from 0,25 to 2 times, each in 0,25 steps. You can also set a playback speed of your choice (such as 1,1x or 0,9x). The extended options of the browser extension enable an automatic acceleration of the playback from a specified video length.

TL; DR: View the software in the App Store here

With the Speed Player for Safari on the Mac, you can play videos faster or slower in various players. Whether documentary, lecture, online course or other video - this allows content to be reproduced more quickly or savored for a long time.

Sir Apfelot recommendation: Clean up your Mac hard drive with CleanMyMac

Speed Player for the Safari browser on macOS

The Speed Player as a Safari plug-in is free and can be safely downloaded from the Mac App Store. With only 1,3 MB, it hardly takes up any space. To do this, it provides the option of changing the playback speed of videos in a wide variety of players - even using a key combination. Where YouTube allows this in similar steps, there is no provision on other platforms or in the players of cloud storage. For example, do you want to watch the online lecture for your studies faster or the online course at Udemy Use it for learning in less than the imagined time, then the Speed Player from macOS 10.15 Catalina on Mac, iMac and MacBook with 64-bit processor can help you.

Another safari extension for more efficient learning

If you want to use the browser plug-in described above for lectures, documentation or the like in order to learn faster, then maybe you could too Session Pal interested. Session Pal is also a Safari extension for the Mac. It can be used to save the open tabs in order to open them again at the same time at a later time. This eliminates the need to individually create favorites or bookmarks. You can also create various folders with tab collections and search for specific URLs in them. Whether research, hotel comparison, apartment search or sources for a term paper - this free extension for the Apple web browser is also practical.

Mactracker 7.12.2 - Free Apple Lexicon has been updated
Developer Ian Page has been offering the for years Mactracker app as a free overview of Apple's devices and systems. The App you can use it on the Mac as well as on the iPhone and iPad. It is also currently completely up-to-date, as Mactracker 7.12.2 for macOS and Mactracker 4.7.2 for iOS and iPadOS were released two days ago. These new versions contain, among other things, information about the devices that Apple has released in recent months. I have summarized what is new for you below.
Mac version of Mactracker app has been updated to 7.12.2. The free Apple encyclopedia now also includes the devices that came onto the market in the first few months of 2023.

This was added to the Mactracker app in March 2023
A lot has happened at Apple since the last update of the Mactracker app. Different devices have been released and updates have been released for different operating systems. The updates to Ian Page's lexicon offering include the following:
- Information and pictures of Mac mini 2023
- Information and pictures of 14 inch MacBook Pro 2023
- Information and pictures of 16 inch MacBook Pro 2023
- Information and pictures of HomePod (2nd generation)
- Details on the latest operating systems
- Updates to the support status of Apple's recent "vintage" and "obsolete" products
Among other things, the Mac mini 2023 was added. In the various tabs "General", "Software", "Memory and Graphics", etc. you will find all the details about the device, the hardware, the operating system, and much more.

Mactracker 7.12.2 for the Apple Mac
By far the most reviews for the Mactracker app are filled with praise, giving it 5 stars out of 5. The biggest point of criticism for those who want to criticize something is that the updates for new devices and systems are entered with a time delay. But it's a leisure project, the results of which are offered free of charge - and by a single person. Of course, you can't expect updates to be released as soon as each new Apple product is released. If you want to check out Mactracker for Mac yourself, you can via the Mac App Store. The good thing about it: You don't need a current operating system for this, you can download the app macOS 10.12 Sierra (2016) use. This will certainly remain the case for a long time to come, since the Mactracker app does not have high demands on CPU, GPU and Co. By the way, in the app you can create an overview of your own devices via “My Models”. This not only gives you an overview, but also shows you the warranty status of the individual devices.
In addition to an overview of all possible and long-forgotten Apple devices and systems, you can also create your own list. This allows you to keep an eye on your devices and their status.

Mactracker 4.7.2 for iPhone and iPad
The version for mobile Apple devices also has mostly very good ratings. Here the biggest point of criticism of the people who write a review also consists of the updates, some of which were issued quite late. However, here too, one must be aware that it is not a software development studio that is behind the offer, but an individual who offers both the Mac and mobile versions of the app for free. You can also exercise a bit of patience here. Incidentally, Mactracker can be used on the iPhone and iPad iOS12 (2018) be used - i.e. on partly right old models. The software not only offers you an overview of all previous Apple devices and systems, but also information about the iPhone or iPad on which you use it under "This Device". And there really everything is broken down, from model number and support status to display, memory and RAM to supported file formats and the advertising slogan. You will find the download in the iOS and iPadOS App Store.
You can also access information about all sorts of Apple releases on the iPhone (and iPad). In addition, you can quickly and easily access the information of the device you are holding.
Unable to charge: Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector
Today, for the first time in years of using an iPhone, I got a warning about water in the Lightning connector (Lightning connector on the bottom of the device). The pop-up says below a warning symbol with water drops: Loading not possible. Liquid has been detected in the Lightning connector. Disconnect the cable to allow the connector to dry. Immediate charging may damage the iPhone. - In order for the iPhone battery to still charge, you must either tap "Ignore (Emergency)" or disconnect the cable and ensure that the iPhone connector and plug are dried. Or what is going on there?
The warning on the Apple iPhone can look like this or something similar if charging is not possible because liquid was detected in the Lightning connector. Here are tips for dealing with this problem.

Disconnect the cable and see if liquid has entered
When I got the warning message this morning, I was pretty sure it must be an error. Because I didn't remember my iPhone getting near liquids. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, I disconnected the cable and unplugged it from the power source. Then I checked it for water and coffee but found nothing. Then I looked at the Lightning Connector of the iPhone. I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything in there either. Except maybe dust, which likes to collect there and in the speaker and microphone holes next to it. So I reconnected the iPhone to the charger, which brought up the liquid warning on the display again. However, this time I decided to ignore them and let the loading process start anyway. Nothing happened, everything works as usual. My first suspicion was that maybe the dust in the Lightning Connector had absorbed a bit of humidity and thus triggered the warning. But I wanted to get to the bottom of the matter and did a little research. As part of this, I came across various pieces of information, which I have summarized for you as follows:
- In any case, the warning must be taken seriously. You should first ignore them and still charge the iPhone via cable if you are sure that there is no liquid in the Lightning connector or on the cable.
- However, it could also be a hardware error. If you are sure that no liquid has penetrated, use a different charging cable (if you have one) as a test. If the error is in the iPhone connection, you should contact Apple Support or an iPhone repair shop.
- It could also be a software bug. To fix this, you can try turning the iPhone off and on again. If you then plug it back in to charge and this time no warning appears, then it can be assumed that it was just a bug. I tried that and after restarting there was no more message.
You can do this to dry the iPhone Lightning Connector
If you see that water has actually gotten into the charging port of the Apple iPhone, or if you are not really sure, then there are definitely measures you can try to dry it. Here are a few tips:
- Disconnects the iPhone from the charging cable or data transfer and also keeps it away from open power sources, cables and plugs.
- Firmly hold the iPhone in a vertical position with the Lightning connector facing down. Now tap with two fingers next to the connector to shake out the water. Alternatively, you can quickly move the iPhone down and then stop to inertially get the water out.
- Leave the iPhone in a well-ventilated place for at least 30 minutes and then try charging again. If the warning then appears again, leave the device in a well-ventilated place for 24 hours.
You should avoid this if you want to dry the iPhone Lightning Connector
I completely understand if you want to get the iPhone connector dry again as soon as possible after the "Cannot charge: Liquid was detected in the Lightning connector..." message. However, you should not take any ill-considered and possibly harmful actions. That can only widen the problem. So keep these points in mind:
- Uses none Hot air or compressed air to dry the iPhone charging port. Both the heat and the pressure can damage it. In the worst case, it is then unusable and must be replaced.
- Plugged nothing into the port to get the water out. Textiles as well as cotton wool and cellulose can leave lint, rags and other residues. Depending on the tool used (cotton swab, etc.), excessive force can also damage or deform the connection.
- Puts the iPhone not in rice or the like. It's one of those internet tricks that someone came up with as a joke. The rice does not pull the water out of the appliance faster. Rather, you risk starch dust getting in and sticking the hardware together, or small pieces of rice causing scratches. With rice and similar “solutions” you tend to only make the problem worse.
I don't have time and need to charge the iPhone quickly!
On the one hand you want the Apple device to remain whole, on the other hand the battery needs to be charged. You can quickly become impatient. As noted above, you should try to tap the water out of the connector and then let the iPhone dry for at least 30 minutes. Then try charging it again with a cable. If you can't explain the warning at all, then reboot and see if it's just a bug. If possible, you can alternatively charge the Apple iPhone wirelessly by using a Qi or MagSafe-Charger used for the charging area on the back of the smartphone.
The liquid warning has been around since the iPhone XS and XR (2018)
When I was looking for information on the subject, I naturally also looked through the support documents that Apple makes available online. I'm doing this on the document HT210424 encountered This notes, among other things, that the liquid warning for the Lightning connector on the Apple iPhone has been around since the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max - i.e. since 2018. In addition to the tips that I have also found in other sources and listed above, there are also tips The support document also states that if a message is displayed continuously and there is no visible moisture in the connection or on the accessory, the same could be defective. The manufacturer should be contacted accordingly. Have you ever encountered the liquid warning on the Apple iPhone? Leave a comment with your experiences and tips!
Whendy App – Calculating times for to-do lists made easy
Developer Hannes Oud from Austria has had the since December last year whendy App for Apple devices. This helps to calculate times and thus to create detailed to-do lists. For example, do you have an appointment but want to do certain things beforehand? If you know how long these things take, then you can enter the start time of the appointment and then enter the previously planned points with their duration. Whendy then automatically calculates when you have to start working through the list at the latest in order to be finished by the specified time. The other way around, you can also enter a start time and use the list to determine when you will be finished with it. TL; DR: You can go directly to the App Store here
Whendy's description makes it clear how it works: You enter to-do list items with their duration in hours and/or minutes. The software then automatically calculates when you are finished or when you need to start. Image source: Hannes Oud

Whendy - Smooth Time Planner
You can find it in the App Store App under the full name Whendy - Smooth Time Planner. You can download and use them for free. In the beginning, even the premium features are available to try out. These are the linking of calendar content. So if you have an appointment in your calendar and want to use it as a start or finish time for your planning, you can import it into the Whendy app. Conversely, the planning created can also be exported and thus entered in the calendar. A one-off fee of EUR 4,99 is requested for permanent use of these functions. If you don't need the calendar functions, you can also use the Whendy app completely free of charge. After downloading from the App Store, a sample list is displayed the first time you open it. It also shows how it is used. The example consists of a target time and list items arranged in front of it as well as their duration. H is used for hours and m is used for minutes (minutes). Apparently, the example list is adjusted to the current time, as you can see on the screenshot. I think that's a nice extra that makes it easier to understand the app's functions straight away.
When you first open the Whendy app, you can look at a sample list to understand how it all works.

Create your own to-do list with times
To create your own list, you can either edit the ready-made text or remove it completely. The latter goes e.g. B. via the circle symbol with the three dots (...) at the top right. If the list is completely empty, it is advisable to start with the start or finish time. To illustrate, I have simply listed my normal daily routine, which of course without exception reflects reality. I started by entering "6:00", the date was then automatically inserted. Then I added the individual points in a new line. As long as no new time span is entered, the "End xx:xx" time is automatically displayed.
I removed the example list with the delete function and then made my own list. I started with a start time and worked my way up to the finish time from there.
As you can see on the screenshot, the calendar link is available at the beginning (the free version without a premium purchase was used for the screenshot shortly after installation). Below you will also find the options available in each version for entering and moving list items. With these you can move individual points down (arrow down), move up (arrow up), delete (delete symbol) or insert another intermediate step above the selected point (arrow up with the plus symbol). The keyboard symbol on the far right makes the virtual keyboard disappear in order to be able to view long lists in their entirety.
Here's a list I started with the last point to work my way to start time. Above the virtual keyboard you will find the useful symbols for inserting, deleting and moving individual list items. You can tell that Hannes Oud worked on the app for a long time because it is very well thought out.

Export functions of Whendy App
At the top right of the Whendy app you will find a symbol that you probably already know from the various Apple systems. The square with the arrow pointing up out of the shape represents exporting or sharing content. If you tap on the symbol in the Whendy app, you can choose from two options: export the list or individual points to the calendar; or export the list as text (via messenger apps, email, notes, copy to use in any app, etc.). On these screenshots you can see the export to the calendar:
The first time you export to the calendar, you will be asked whether Whendy is allowed to access it. You can then select as many or as few items from your list as you want. Initially none are selected; I just typed all of them here. The last screenshot shows the entries in the calendar.
On this screenshot you can see the sharing as text via email:
If you choose to share as text, the usual system sharing mask is available to you – including certain contacts and apps. I just chose email. The ending point with the emojis was created automatically, which I think is a nice extra.

Minimum requirements to use Whendy
The Whendy app takes up just 4,6MB of your local storage. So that shouldn't be a problem on quite a lot of devices. However, a current operating system is required for installation and use. On the iPhone and iPod touch, that means iOS 16 or newer. On iPad it means that iPadOS 16 or newer must be installed. And the Apple Mac must have at least the M1 chip installed and at least macOS 13 Ventura installed. Knowledge of English is not absolutely necessary for this really intuitive app, but it is good to have it. Because it is currently only offered in English. You can find more information and the download in the App Store as well as on the Website for the app.
Detachable and reattachable Apple Watch protective glass
I go rock climbing occasionally and have never taken off my Apple Watch for the occasion. Despite my caution, I have occasionally gotten stuck on a climbing hold during a movement and have given the Apple Watch a hit - fortunately without consequences so far. I've temporarily put bulletproof glass on the display, but I gave it up for two reasons:
1. For me, every glass seems like a foreign body on the watch.
2. There are no reasonable armored glasses that effectively protect the rounded edges of the display.
And overall, I couldn't get used to having a protective glass on my Apple Watch all the time, even though I don't need it most of the time. I go rock climbing maybe once a week and do the occasional gardening that is really a display hazard. Otherwise my activities are relatively harmless for the Apple Watch.
Here you can see the LK protective glass next to my 45 mm Apple Watch 8 (Photo: Sir Apfelot).

The solution: protection that can be removed
I'm looking for a protective cover like the one you know from the iPhone clip-on cover from the company LK encountered This consists of a clear protective glass (not sure if it's glass) surrounded by a frame, which in my case is black plastic. The practical thing about this Apple Watch protector is that you can attach it without removing the watch or even detaching the bracelet from the watch. This means that you can clip the protection onto the watch in a few seconds before exercising and then remove it again afterwards. Simply the perfect solution for me, because I don't really want permanent protection, but I can protect the Apple Watch from damage all around if necessary. And I like the quick attachment and detachment so much that I use the protective cover for the Pick of the week free.
The case is open at the bottom and can be clipped onto the Apple Watch from above.

Here you can see the bottom of the Apple Watch with the case on.

When attaching the case, it is first slipped over the crown and then pressed onto the watch. A process that only takes a few seconds.

Beware of dust and grains of sand
However, the protective cover still poses a small risk, because if dust or small grains of sand get lost on the inside, there is a risk that they will be between the protective glass and the display glass when you put them on the watch and scratch the display. To prevent this, the screen protector always ends up in the small bag that came with the product to protect it during transport.
There are two protective covers in one pack and here you can also see the small bags in which each protective cover is packed.

Operation in the swimming pool not possible
I haven't tried it, but the manufacturer noted that while you can take the Apple Watch into the water with the case on, it won't work even if you're out of the water again because of the water between the protective glass and the display collects. Due to the water in the gap, the touch controls no longer work properly, but this can be quickly remedied by removing the protective cover and drying the display glass.
The watch with the protective case is not as pretty as before, but the protective function is definitely good.

LK protective case for Apple Watch
LK's protection comes in a number of different colors and can be purchased for the 41mm Apple Watch and the 45mm model. If you want to check out LK's clip-on Apple Watch protection, you'll find it here at Amazon or via this product box:

When does WWDC23 take place and what will be presented?
Like every year, the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) will certainly take place again in June this year at Apple. But when is the WWDC23 date? From when to when can developers get advice, exchange ideas, get help and take a first look at new operating systems? Below you will find the latest information and rumors about it. This article also provides an overview of the systems and devices that will be used as part of the kick-offKeynote (could) be presented at WWDC 2023. Have you picked up any other rumors or are you looking forward to certain releases? Then please leave a comment!
When is the WWDC23 date? In which week of June will the Apple World Wide Developers Conference 2023 take place? What is presented? And will it be an on-site event? Here you will find the latest information / rumors about it.

When will WWDC23 and its keynote take place?
The Apple World Wide Developers Conference usually takes place in the first half of June each year, often in the first full week of the month. Possible periods for WWDC23 would be from June 5th to 9th, 2023 or from June 12th to 16th, 2023:
- 05.06. until 09.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX: first full week in June of this year
- 12.06. until 16.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX: is also in the first half of the month
The opening keynote of this special working week, as the opening presentation with new content for the public, will of course take place again on the appropriate Monday (June 5th or 12th), most likely at 10:00 a.m. local time in Cupertino. This means that it will be broadcast at 19:00 p.m. in Germany.
Will WWDC23 be onsite or just online?
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, WWDC 2020 took place completely online for the first time. This was continued in 2021 and 2022. However, Apple has partially returned to on-site events in recent months. It is therefore possible that at least parts of WWDC23 will again take place face-to-face in Apple Park and its Steve Jobs Theater. Owing to cost savings but it may also be the case that this will not be the case. In addition, it is not yet clear whether the above-mentioned keynote opening the developer week will be broadcast live or played as a pre-recorded presentation. The latter has also proven to be practical in recent years due to Covid. If Apple invites you to on-site appointments, this will certainly not be the only way to take part in WWDC23. The iPhone maker would certainly get a lot of criticism and negative headlines if there wasn't a hybrid model that puts at least some of the content, sessions, expert appointments and stuff like that online. On the developer websites and via certain App-Contents can usually be retrieved from lectures, instructions and introductions to new technologies anyway. Through the official developer app Apple can also catch up on previous content from previous years. Do you plan to participate in WWDC23? How and because of what content exactly? Let me know by commenting below this post.
Which Apple operating systems will be presented in June 2023?
As every year, we can expect new operating systems for the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch to take center stage. These will again provide new, improved or otherwise changed functions in order to get even more out of the devices. In addition, new beta versions with innovations in the operating systems for Apple TV, the HomePod and the like will certainly be released again. These aren't always presented during the opening keynote, but are interesting as well.
- iOS 17 for iPhone and iPod touch: The new iPhone operating system iOS 17 could as well as iOS 16 come up with a few surprises in 2022. New design options, additional security functions, more efficient background processes and the like are possible.
- iPadOS 17 for iPad: The new iPad operating system, iPadOS 17, could bring new multitasking options, support for additional peripherals, new technologies for pencil use, and so on to the Apple tablet. But also completely unexpected things.
- macOS 14 for Mac: The new Mac operating system macOS 14 will certainly only run on Apple computers that have an "Apple Silicon" SoC (M chip). A further adaptation to the mobile systems as well as overlapping functions could be the focus. Maybe this year there will also be an integration of AI.
- watchOS 10 for Apple Watch: The new watchOS 10 watch operating system could bring new features for health and fitness if it follows the previous systems. A new training detection and / or new automations for the recording of training sessions are just as conceivable as new triggers for emergency calls or health reports.
- More systems: In addition, either as keynote content or only as beta versions during the rest of WWDC23, the new tvOS 17 for the Apple TV, the HomePod software 17 and so on. New smart home functions are conceivable for both of these, but also possibilities for networking in the house and with contacts all over the world.
Introducing the latest M2 version, the M3 chip and new Mac models
The introduction of new "Apple Silicon" chips could follow a certain cycle in the coming years. I already showed the train of thought behind it two weeks ago in the article “New iMac to be launched with M3 chip (+ more Mac news)“. The M23 Ultra could therefore be presented as part of the WWDC2 keynote, which could be accompanied by the presentation of the new Mac Pro and possibly a new Mac Studio. In addition to the latest M2 version, the M3 chip could also be presented directly, with a new iMac, MacBook Air and the like. Perhaps only the M2 Ultra and Macs equipped with it will be presented; and then the M3 in the fall. It remains exciting!
Also expected for June: mixed reality headset with xrOS
On the one hand it is said to have been postponed again and again, on the other hand Tim Cook himself is supposed to push for a quick introduction. We are of course talking about Apple's mixed reality headset, which is available as a VR and AR device under the name "reality pro"Or"reality one' could be presented. In addition to the new hardware, which is said to work without an iPhone, Mac or other additional device, there is also a new operating system. The name for this was always in rumor reports until the end of last year realityOS or rOS used. In the meantime, however, it is assumed that it will be called xrOS - for "extended reality operation system". That actually makes more sense.
