You can say what you like about OL(Mr Whiplash), he doesn't venture down here.

[Stephen]

We'll carry on then

[Ray B]

Say what you like about Merv, but he will be spinning his shellac records midday on Moorland Radio.
Sadly I will be in the spirit (literally)of Christmas at that time, and he would like some of you to join him along with the other listener, so he's not alone.
Merry Christmas Merv and Trish.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Most kind Ray. And the same to you.

Yes Pop Pickers, 10 to 1 on Christmas morning spinning the platters that matter on the wheels of steel.

Please don't bother me for the rest of the week. Got a new phone for Christmas. It'll be 2025 by the time I've worked out how to transfer everything from the old one....

If it's a Samsung they have an automatic transfer feature that is easy to follow, if it's a iPhone throw it away now before it drives you to suicide.

[Stephen]

Plenty of help via Mr Google and YouTube how to easily do this, or just take both phones into the shop and let them do it.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Blessedly it is a Samsung so fingers crossed. If you never hear from me again you'll know why!

[Stephen]

Have a look at this Merv.

I used copy my data a few years ago when I got a new Sansung.

Yes, but yours look to be a rip off of a genuine SAMsung.

Last time I changed my iPhone I simply held it next to old iPhone and it automatically copied onto new one. Don’t know what the fuss is about - easy peasy

Set up face recognition and away to go

[Mervyn and Trish]

Testing testing. New phone here.

Agree Jan, but we are talking about Merv here.
Not sure you can transfer data between string and two coke cans onto the latest tech phone

My phones sat chatting for half an hour. The only tricky bit was when they started asking for various passwords and expected me to remember them!

One thing that caused me confusion was the saved passwords on Google. I have 3 or 4 different accounts on Google but only one has my main passport manager, unfortunately my new phone opted to use one of the minor accounts as the main one, so initially I thought I had lost them all and was going to have to input all the saved Web pages I used regularly. Fortunately I spotted the problem and once I switched accounts miraculously my sign in data reappeared.
I guess youngsters would never have these sort of problems, it all comes second nature to them.

My password manager is still a trusty notebook but just on the off chance someone breaks in and takes it ....i've added an extra letter / number in a certain place that I ignore when putting in a password that will hopefully confuse a possible thief.
As for this forum....I know my password without having to write it down.
I think maybe I should really get more up to date and think seriously about getting a password manager for my computer ....I still don't want to do that on my smartphone because so many are being stolen ....over 39,000 from Jan 2023 - Oct 2023

[Ray B]

It's annoying when a site tells you it's the wrong password, when you know it's correct . Then you have to re enter new one, or in my case the old one, and if not excepted, I add a number to it.

Where's Stephen with the jokes? Tell him to get out of bed

[Stephen]

I'm here

[Happydays]

Took your time but there's some good ones for me to pass on to friends/ family. Although I do have to be careful who I send which ones

[Ray B]

Friday, and it's damm cold. Four more days and, maybe, the temperature starts to rise.
