Direction Indicator Fix for CityMaps2Go

Left this morning to explore a city.  Equipped with my iPhone 6 plus and CityMaps2Go I felt confident that I would be able to maneuver in the new city that I was exploring. Unfortuntately, that was not the case.

The blue dot was working fine and i could see my location on the city map, but as i pointed my iphone to the place that I wished to explore, the normal arrow that indicates which way I am headed was not appearing.

There is another option that did work enough to keep me headed in the right direction.  When back to my home base I found that my Apple compass app was not working correctly.

Once I changed a few settings on my iPhone the compass worked again and the cityMaps2go app started working correctly. 

I used the following steps to turn my compass calibration back on.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Select Privacy.
3. Select Location Services.
4. Select System Services at the bottom of the list of apps in the Location Services.
5. Turn your compass calibration on and off.

Getting rid of "Spam " and "Scam and Fraud" Contacts put in iphone contacts by Hiya App

I noticed that an app called Hiya had added many phone numbers and two contacts to my contact list.

To get rid of this from my Contact app on my iPhone, I turned off wifi and cellular.  Selected each of the intrusive contacts from my contacts i.e., "Scam and Fraud"  and "Spam" individually. Then I  scrolled down to end of all the numerous phone numbers that were put in my contact list by the Hiya app and came to "delete contact".  These two contacts  are gone!

Transferring Midis to Disklavier using FromToPC folder

When the latest edition of DKVBrowser for Mac failed to function on my MacBook Pro, I was heartbroken. It still runs on an older Mac that I have kept around here for editing purposes.  One of the nice features of DKVBrowser was the ability to transfer new midi files I downloaded from the internet to my Mac to the piano using wifi connection.

Even though I can't use the DKVBrowser on my MacBook Pro running Sierra 10.13.4 — I have figured out the steps to still transfer midis from my Mac to my piano via wifi.

This will be a great help as most laptops and newer computers don't have floppy drives or  CD drives.  I tried using a thumb drive which failed -- I believe due to being formatted as a Mac thumb drive. Maybe if I had a PC formatted thumb drive my Mark IV Disklavier would have recognized it.  I was spoiled using DKVBrowser to easily move midis to my piano via wifi.  So here are the steps to do so without DKVBrowser application. 


UPDATE:  Make sure your piano is ON ... out of standby.  Just turn on piano and play a song. Then stop song. 


On MacBook Pro, use the Go menu in the menu bar of finder.  Select Connect to Server from pop down submenu  and then from the upper right hand side of window select the pop down arrow and click on DKV#####

Click on Connect.

A popup window requesting name and password to server appears.
Fill in and click on connect.  (Note:  you may not need a password.)
Select FromToPC.  You can use Guest to sign in - that works too!

The FromToPC  icon should appear on the Mac desktop.
Drag and drop any midi files that you wish to transfer to your piano into the icon.

Next, you will need to refresh this FromToPC directory using the piano's PRC remote, before the files will show up in the FromToPC directory on your piano's PRC remote screen.

Select the  FromToPC directory from the PRC
Select the root directory which is  a "/"

Select the Function button below and use "Refresh" option.
Which should  reload all the new midi files that you transferred via wifi so that they appear in the directory of the PRC remote screen.
You can now play them on your piano using PRC remote.

You can also run the Disklavier Controller app on your iPhone and can see the midis in the FromToPC directory on the app and play them.


You should also eject the FromToPC icon from your Mac’s desktop when finished.

Additional Note: Today, I was able to upload midis using my iPhone and app called "GoodReader" to my Mark IV Disklavier.  I save midis I find using iPhone Browser to my GoodReader app using the share icon.  GoodReader has an option to connect to servers.  Then I setup my piano server in GoodReader.  I select add server using SMB type server and adding the dkv###### address and add to my GoodReader app.   I then upload the midis saved in GoodReader to my piano's hard drive FromToPC directory.
