Software : How to save and export voicemail on OS X |
| How to save and export voicemail on OS X Posted:  Ever wanted to know how to save and export voicemail from your iPhone (or your phone's iTunes backup on your Mac?). We show you how, along with how to save them as usable sound files. QuestionI have voicemails on my iPhone that I want to save and copy to my Mac laptop. Is that possible? Is there a way to share or forward voicemail from an iPhone? AnswerVoicemails, whether on your Mac as an iOS backup from your iPhone, or on the actual phone itself, can be saved and exported using an application called iExplorer. This application costs $34.99 USD (a free trial is available), and you can get it from the Macroplant website.
Once you've downloaded and installed iExplorer, follow these steps to get your voicemails from either an iOS backup or from the actual device itself: 1. Open the iExplorer application. 2. Connect your iPhone to the Mac . 3. Click on the Device Overview screen once it appears. 4. Navigate to [your phone] > Voicemail (or navigate to Backups > Voicemail if you want to browse voicemails included in the backups on your Mac instead). 5. Select a voicemail and click the play button to listen to it. 6. Click Export Selected Voicemails, or Export All to export the voicemails from the device or the backup to your Mac for safekeeping. iExplorer exports all voicemail data in the .amr format. This export process is 100% lossless, so you can listen to the voicemail files using QuickTime, iTunes, and other popular audio players. NOTE: If your Backups data is loading blank, make sure that you have iTunes set to back up to your computer on the Summary tab for your device and that the Encrypt box is unchecked. |
| Mac Tips: How to disable 'open safe files after downloading' in Safari for Mac Posted:  Got an Apple, Mac or iOS tech question? We have the answer. When you use Safari to download files - music, movies, images - it's usually a simple matter to decide if they'll open automatically once they're on your computer. But this time we have a reader who's having trouble getting that function to work. Luckily, we have a Plan B. QuestionI am using Safari 8.0 on an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.1 and the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" is greyed out so that I cannot uncheck it. I spoke with Apple tech support and they did not have an answer for me. How can I uncheck this? AnswerThis is a very strange problem! Normally, all you have to do is select Preferences from the Safari menu, then uncheck the box at the bottom of the General tab. It's quite unusual that this option is disabled. You could try reinstalling OS X Yosemite, but there's a Terminal command that should allow you to disable this functionality.
To execute the workaround, open the Terminal app (located in /Applications/Utilities) and type in the following command to disable Safari's "open 'safe' files" option: defaults write com.apple.Safari AutoOpenSafeDownloads -boolean NO
When you press Return on the keyboard, the command will write the new preference to Safari's options. After restarting Safari, see if files are automatically opened after downloading. It should no longer happen after this option has been added. If you continue to have problems, however, then your best bet is to try reinstalling OS X from the OS X Recovery partition (boot using Command + R and select Reinstall OS X).
