Instant Hotspot is a wireless feature that allows you to use your iPhone to provide wireless internet access to your Mac without a password. It is one of the Continuity features that Apple provides for its devices. Instant Hotspot uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and iCloud to automatically connect your Mac to your iPhone’s cellular internet when Wi-Fi is not available. You just need to click the Wi-Fi icon on your Mac and choose your iPhone from the list of available networks. You don’t need to enter a password or set up a Wi-Fi hotspot manually. Instant Hotspot requires a Mac running OS X Yosemite or later and an iPhone with iOS 8.1 or later and a cellular data plan. Both devices must be signed in with the same Apple ID and have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. References: Share your internet connection from iPhone - Apple Support, How To Tether iPhone Data To A Mac When There’s No Wi-Fi Or Internet

APFS is a file system that supports encryption at the volume level. Each volume has its own encryption key, called the Volume Encryption Key (VEK), which is stored in the APFS container metadata and protected by another key, called the Key Encryption Key (KEK). The KEK is derived from the user’s password and wrapped by a secure token, which is a feature that ensures only authorized users can access the encrypted data. According to the Apple Device Support Reference Materials12, the following scenarios cause APFS volumes to generate encryption keys:

• During user creation. When a new user is created on an APFS volume, a secure token is generated for that user and a KEK is derived from the user’s password. The KEK is used to encrypt the VEK and store it in the metadata.
• During the first user’s password creation. When the first user on an APFS volume sets their password, a secure token is granted to that user and a KEK is derived from the password. The KEK is used to encrypt the VEK and store it in the metadata.
• After erase content and setting. When a user erases all content and settings on an APFS volume, the VEK and the KEK are deleted and new ones are generated. The new VEK is encrypted with the new KEK and stored in the metadata.

 According to the Apple Device Support Reference Materials, the three troubleshooting steps that you should try to resolve the issue of iPad not charging are:

• Force restart the iPad. This can help clear any software glitches that may prevent the iPad from recognizing the power source or charging properly12. The steps to force restart the iPad depend on whether it has a Home button or not1.
• Make sure that the device isn’t too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can affect the battery performance and charging ability of the iPad13. The iPad should be kept within the acceptable operating temperatures of 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)3.
• Try charging with a different power adapter and cable. The power adapter and cable may be damaged or incompatible with the iPad, causing the charging issue14. It is recommended to use the original Apple power adapter and cable that came with the iPad, or other Apple-certified accessories4.

The other two options, D and E, are not relevant or helpful for resolving the charging issue. Backing up the device and erasing all content and settings may be useful for other issues, such as storage or performance problems, but not for charging problems5. Enabling Optimized Battery Charging is a feature that helps extend the battery lifespan by reducing the time that the iPad spends fully charged. It does not affect the charging speed or ability of the iPad. References: 1: Fix issues with charging - Apple Support 2: iPad won’t charge, Try these tips to fix it - Geeky Gadgets 3: iPad not charging: 6 solutions - 9to5Mac 4: How to fix an iPad that won’t charge: 8 troubleshooting tips - Macworld 5: Erase all content and settings from iPad - Apple Support : About Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

 A Managed Apple ID is a type of Apple ID that is created and managed by an organization, such as a school or a business. It allows users to access Apple services, such as iCloud, iTunes U, and Apple School Manager. A Managed Apple ID has different password policies than a regular Apple ID. According to the Apple Business Manager User Guide, one of the password policies for a Managed Apple ID is that “after three incorrect attempts, the account is locked for one hour.” This means that if a user enters the wrong password three times in a row, they will not be able to sign in with their Managed Apple ID for the next 60 minutes. This policy is designed to prevent unauthorized access and protect the user’s data and privacy. References: Use Managed Apple IDs in the Apple Business Manager User Guide

To determine if Melody’s printers were configured manually or by an MDM solution, you should go to Privacy & Security > Profiles in System Settings. This is where you can see the profiles that are installed on the Mac, which may include printer settings. If there are any profiles that contain the Printing or AirPrint payload, then the printers were configured by an MDM solution. Otherwise, the printers were configured manually by the user or an administrator. References: Printing MDM payload settings for Apple devices - Apple Support, AirPrint MDM payload settings for Apple devices - Apple Support, Intro to mobile device management profiles - Apple Support

If you forgot your passcode and your iPhone is disabled, you need to erase your iPhone and set it up again. The only way to do this is to put your iPhone in recovery mode and connect it to a computer with iTunes or Finder. This will erase all your data and settings, including the passcode, and install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on your iPhone. You can then restore your data and settings from a backup, if you have one, or set up your iPhone as a new device. To put your iPhone in recovery mode, you need to follow these steps:

• Make sure that your iPhone is not connected to your computer, then turn it off completely.
• Press and hold the correct button for your iPhone model while connecting it to your computer. For iPhone 8 and later, use the side button. For iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, use the volume down button. For iPhone 6s and earlier, use the home button.
• Keep holding the button until you see the recovery mode screen on your iPhone, then release the button. The recovery mode screen shows a cable and a computer icon.
• On your computer, open iTunes or Finder and locate your iPhone. You should see a message that says there is a problem with your iPhone that requires it to be updated or restored.
• Choose Restore to erase your iPhone and install the latest software. This may take some time, so do not disconnect your iPhone until the process is complete.
• After your iPhone is restored, you can set it up again using the onscreen instructions. You can choose to restore from a backup or set up as a new device.

 Sysdiagnose log files are located on iPhone in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data. Sysdiagnose is a tool that collects information from the iPhone and saves it in a log file. You can use sysdiagnose to troubleshoot general iOS issues or report them to AppleCare. To generate a sysdiagnose log file, you need to press and hold both volume buttons and the side or top button for 1 to 1.5 seconds, then release them. You will see a screenshot and a message that says “Diagnostics are in flight”. Sysdiagnose can take up to 10 minutes to finish. After that, you can find the log file in the Analytics Data section of the Settings app. The log file name will start with “sysdiagnose_” and include the date and time of the generation, the device type, and the iOS version. For example, “sysdiagnose_2024.01.06_17-14-34+0500_iPhone_OS_iPhone_19A344.tar.gz”. References: Using Sysdiagnose to Troubleshoot iOS or iPadOS — Apple Device Support Tutorials | Apple Training, How to extract sysdiagnose logs for forensic purposes on iOS | Andrea Fortuna

An IP address that starts with 169.254 is called a link-local address. It is assigned by the operating system when the DHCP client cannot contact a DHCP server to obtain a valid IP address. This may indicate a problem with the DHCP server, the network connection, or the DHCP client configuration. A link-local address is not routable and cannot communicate with devices outside the local network segment. References: = Troubleshoot problems on the DHCP server, Windows 10 not getting IP address from DHCP, Fix duplicate IP address conflicts on a DHCP network, DHCP client may fail to obtain a DHCP-assigned IP address, Setting IP Address Using DHCP Server

This is the correct answer because these are the four folders that normally appear at the root level of the storage volume in the Finder on a Mac. The root level is the topmost level of the filesystem hierarchy, denoted by /. The Applications folder contains all the applications installed on the Mac, the Library folder contains system and user preferences, the System folder contains the operating system files, and the Users folder contains the home folders of each user account. These folders are essential for the functioning and organization of the Mac, and they should not be modified or deleted without a good reason. References: Access the Root Directory in Mac OS X in 4 Ways Quickly, Unix filesystem - Wikipedia, Working with APFS Volume Groups | Carbon Copy Cloner - Bombich

An IP address that starts with 169.254 suggests there may be a problem with DHCP. This is because 169.254 is the prefix for a link-local address, which is an address that is automatically assigned by the device when it cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. A link-local address allows the device to communicate with other devices on the same local network, but not with devices on other networks. A link-local address indicates that either the DHCP server is not available, not configured properly, or not reachable by the device. To resolve this issue, the device should try to renew its IP address from the DHCP server, or the DHCP server should be checked for any errors or misconfigurations. The other IP addresses are valid addresses that can be assigned by a DHCP server, and do not indicate any problem with DHCP. References: DHCP Error: What It Is and How to Fix It - Lifewire, 7.4.4 Module Quiz - DHCPv4 (Answers) - ITExamAnswers

This is the correct setting to check if an iPhone is managed by an organization, such as ACME. A profile is a file that contains settings and policies that can be installed on an iPhone to control its features and behavior. A profile can be installed by an organization to manage the device remotely, or by the user to customize the device. A profile can also indicate that the device is supervised, which means that the organization has more control over the device and can apply extra restrictions. To see if an iPhone has a profile installed, go to Settings > General > Profile & Device Management. If there is no profile, this section will not appear. If there is a profile, tap on it to see what type of changes are made. To learn more about the features changed for your specific organization, ask your administrator whether these settings are enforced. References: Delete unknown configuration profiles from your iPhone or iPad, Get started with a supervised iPhone or iPad, See who has access to your iPhone or iPad, How to check if an iPhone is locked or unlocked

 Revive is an action in Apple Configurator for Mac that allows you to restore the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on an iPhone or iPad device, while preserving user data (if recoverable). Revive is useful when a device is unresponsive or in recovery mode, and you want to try to fix it without erasing the user’s data. Revive does not require the device to be supervised or enrolled in MDM, and it does not affect the activation lock status of the device. Revive is different from Restore, which erases the device and installs the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Restore also requires the device to be supervised or enrolled in MDM, and it removes the activation lock from the device. Update is another action that installs the latest version of iOS or iPadOS on the device, but it does not work when the device is unresponsive or in recovery mode. Erase all Content and Settings is a device setting that erases the device and removes the activation lock, but it does not install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. References: = Apple Configurator User Guide for Mac, section “Revive an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV”; Apple Device Support Exam Prep Guide, page 9.

 Universal Control is a feature that allows you to use a single keyboard, mouse, or trackpad to control up to two other nearby Mac or iPad devices, and work seamlessly between them1. When using Universal Control, you can share the following peripherals between iPad and Mac:

• Trackpad: You can use the trackpad of your Mac or iPad to move the pointer across the screens of both devices. You can also use gestures to scroll, zoom, or switch between apps2.
• Keyboard: You can use the keyboard of your Mac or iPad to type on both devices. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to perform actions or access menus3.
• Mouse: You can use the mouse of your Mac to move the pointer across the screens of both devices. You can also use the mouse buttons to click or right-click4.

You cannot share the following peripherals between iPad and Mac when using Universal Control:

• Apple Pencil: You can only use the Apple Pencil on your iPad, not on your Mac. The Apple Pencil is designed to work with the touch screen of the iPad, not with the display of the Mac5.
• Touch ID: You can only use Touch ID on the device that has the Touch ID sensor, not on the other device. Touch ID is a biometric security feature that requires your fingerprint to unlock your device, make purchases, or use Apple Pay. References: = Universal Control: Use a single keyboard and mouse between Mac and iPad, Use gestures on your Mac trackpad, Mac keyboard shortcuts, Use a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad, Use Apple Pencil with your iPad or iPad Pro, [Use Touch ID on your Mac]

This is a free app that allows you to access your iCloud photos, documents, bookmarks, passwords, and other data on your PC. You can also use iCloud for Windows to sync your iCloud Mail, Contacts, and Calendar with Outlook. To use iCloud for Windows, you need to sign in with your Apple ID and choose the features and content that you want to keep up to date across your devices. You also need to have iCloud set up on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac with the same Apple ID. References: Set up and use iCloud for Windows - Apple Support, Set up iCloud for Windows on your PC - Apple Support, Use iCloud for Windows to synchronize calendar and contacts with Outlook - Microsoft Support

 Before you can access the macOS Recovery options on a Mac with Apple silicon that has FileVault or Activation Lock turned on, you must first authenticate as an administrator. This is because FileVault and Activation Lock are security features that encrypt your data and prevent unauthorized access to your Mac. To authenticate as an administrator, you need to select one of the displayed administrator accounts on the startup options screen, then enter the account’s password. This will unlock the system and allow you to use the macOS Recovery apps and utilities. The other options are not correct. You do not need to access the Startup Security Utility or enter the FileVault recovery key or the Apple ID and two-factor authentication to reach the macOS Recovery options. References: Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon - Apple Support, How to Enter macOS Recovery on an Apple Silicon Mac - MUO

Rosetta 2 is the translation layer that enables a Mac with Apple silicon to use apps and other software that were written for Intel-based Mac computers in macOS. Rosetta 2 automatically translates the x86_64 code to run on the arm64 architecture at the first launch of the app, and optimizes the translation over time. Rosetta 2 also supports the translation of code that must run at the time of installation, such as installer packages, kernel extensions, and virtual machine software. Rosetta 2 is transparent to the user and does not require any configuration or intervention. References: = About the Rosetta Translation Environment, Porting Your macOS Apps to Apple Silicon, How to Launch the Intel Version of a Universal Apple Silicon App, Running X86_64 apps on Apple silicon processors

Sysdiagnose is a tool that extracts information from iOS or iPadOS devices and captures it in a log file. You can use sysdiagnose to troubleshoot general issues or report them to AppleCare. To run sysdiagnose, you can either press and hold both volume buttons and the side or top button on iPad for 1 to 1.5 seconds, or use AssistiveTouch to select Analytics from the Top Level Menu. After sysdiagnose finishes, you can find the log file in Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data. The log file name starts with “sysdiagnose” and includes the date and time of the capture. You can then transfer the log file to your Mac via AirDrop or USB. References: = Using Sysdiagnose to Troubleshoot iOS or iPadOS; Gathering a Sysdiagnose from an iPadOS or iOS device; Apple Device Support Exam Prep Guide, page 10.

According to the Apple Device Support Reference Materials, you can control who can discover your iPhone or iPad when it’s within AirDrop range by setting AirDrop to Contacts Only1. This means that only people in your Contacts app can see your device and send you content via AirDrop. You can also set AirDrop to Receiving Off, which means that no one can see your device or send you content via AirDrop1. The other two options, B and C, are not correct because they are not related to AirDrop settings. Requiring a verification code from the other device in Password & Security settings is a feature that helps you sign in to your Apple ID account on a new device2. Turning off AirDrop in Privacy settings is not possible, as AirDrop is not listed under Privacy settings3. References: 1: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support, Section "How to adjust AirDrop settings". 2: Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support, Section "Use a verification code with two-factor authentication". 3: Privacy settings on iPhone - Apple Support

You can also use Face ID or Touch ID to access your locked notes, if you enable this option in the settings. To lock notes with a custom password, you need to go to Settings > Notes > Password, choose an account, and tap Use Custom Password. To lock notes with Face ID, you need to go to Settings > Notes > Password, choose an account, and turn on Face ID. To lock or unlock a note, you need to tap the More button and then tap the Lock icon. You can also lock or unlock all notes in the Notes app by tapping the Lock icon in the bottom toolbar. References: Lock your notes on iPhone - Apple Support, How to Lock Your Secrets in the Notes App (and Why You Should) - Lifehacker

Your Mac uses Bluetooth to broadcast its location information after you turn on Find My when it’s offline or in sleep mode. This is part of the Find My network, which is an encrypted, anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help you locate your device, even when it’s offline1. When your Mac is offline or in sleep mode, it sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by other Apple devices nearby. These devices relay the location of your Mac to iCloud so you can view it in the Find My app2. The other options, Ultra Wideband (UWB), Emergency SOS, and Wi-Fi, are not used by your Mac to broadcast its location information in this scenario. References: 1 About the Find My network - Apple Support 2 Locate a device in Find My on Mac - Apple Support

 The next step in troubleshooting the app’s issue is to upgrade to the latest version of the app. This can help resolve any compatibility issues, bugs, or performance problems that the app may have with your version of macOS1. You can check for updates to your software by opening the App Store and looking at the Updates section for apps that you got from the App Store, or by visiting the app developer’s website for apps that you got from another source1. Upgrading to the latest version of the app may also provide new features or enhancements that can improve your user experience2.

Creating a new file, removing the preference file, reinstalling or upgrading macOS, or troubleshooting application preferences are not the best options for this scenario, as they may not address the root cause of the app’s issue, or they may be too drastic or time-consuming. Creating a new file may not help if the app quits regardless of the file type or content3. Removing the preference file may delete your custom settings or preferences for the app, and it may not fix the issue if the app has a problem with its code or resources4. Reinstalling or upgrading macOS may erase your data or settings, and it may not be necessary if the issue is specific to the app and not the operating system5. Troubleshooting application preferences may be useful if the app has a problem with its configuration or options, but it may not work if the app has a problem with its compatibility or functionality.
