On the off chance that you need to play music from the Apple Music membership application or from melodies put away on your Apple gadget, there are approaches to do both. We'll show you the means you take to do as such.

Option 1: Connect an Apple device via Bluetooth

Even if you don’t have a paid subscription for Apple Music, you could still have a music library from downloaded or uploaded files that you have saved to a music app like iTunes or Apple Music. In this case, Alexa is the perfect app to help you access and listen to your music. Amazon Echo and Echo Dot designed their smart speakers to pair with smartphones via Bluetooth, which Alexa has no problem processing.

Step 1: Bring your Apple device close to your Echo. When it’s in proximity, give the command, “Alexa, connect to my iPhone,” or “Alexa, connect to my iPad.” If you have quite a few mobile devices, you can use the specific name of your Apple device instead, but Alexa is generally smart enough to connect with the right device as long as it’s close by.

Step 2: Alexa will play a chime and usually say something like, “iPhone connected to Echo,” although she’ll provide the specific names you’ve given devices so you know it worked. If Alexa says she can’t find your iPhone or other devices, make sure your Bluetooth is on and able to connect. You may have to disconnect accessories like AirPods to get the connection working right.

Step 3: Head to your iTunes or Apple Music app and start your preferred playlist. Your songs should automatically begin to play on your Echo device. Alexa will usually boost the volume a bit before playing, but you can also adjust it yourself. Shifting both the Echo volume and your Apple device volume can work, but it’s usually easier to control volume at the source.

Step 4: When you are finished playing music, saying, “Alexa, disconnect from iPhone,” or whatever Apple device you may be using. Your Echo will again give a chime to let you know the process has completed.

Option 2: Use the Apple Music Alexa skill

This is an incredible choice in the event that you are a supporter of Apple Music and you tune in to music much of the time, or if continually associating and detaching by Bluetooth is certainly not an extraordinary alternative for you. Alexa has an ability only for these events, however, you need to set it up.

Step 1: Enable the Apple Music skill for Alexa. You can find it by going to this Amazon skill page. Or, alternatively, you can go to the Skills section in your Alexa app and search for it specifically. Do this by going to Alexa Preferences (the lines in the upper left corner), choosing Settings, and selecting Music & Podcasts. Here, you will see an option that says Link New Services. Choose it, and then select the Apple Music icon. Now select Enable to Use, and sign in to your Apple account if necessary (Apple’s own instructions aren’t quite up to date, so make sure to follow ours here instead).

Step 2: Make sure everything is updated. You may notice the Apple Music skill isn’t very highly rated. This is partly because a lot of people don’t know the difference between Apple Music and iTunes, but problems also occur because people don’t know the Alexa app may need a manual update.

When you’ve downloaded the app, you’ll have to sign in to your Amazon account to access Alexa’s options. You’ll typically receive a notification if there’s a new version of the app available, but be sure to keep an eye out for it. When you see an Alexa update, make sure you run it so you’ll get the optimal usage from your device. Devices like Echos will generally update automatically as long as you have them connected to the internet, so switch on your Echo and make sure it’s connected. Finally, make sure your Apple Music account is current and working correctly.

Step 3: You can now give Alexa specific music commands, like, “Alexa, play Today’s Hits on Apple Music,” or you can ask Alexa to play specific artists and albums. Alternatively, you can choose to expand your list of commands to match your mood, with options like “Sad music” or “Happy music.” No matter what command you say, always add “on Apple Music” at the end, so Alexa knows what platform to use when playing the music.

Step 4: If you want to eliminate the need to say “on Apple Music” for each playlist command, you can set Apple Music as your default player. This way, Alexa knows how to play any music file you request. Head back to Settings in the Alexa app, go to Music & Podcasts, then select Default Services at the top. It’s probably set to Amazon Music by default, so select the Change button, and select Apple Music as your new default. Apple Music will remain connected to Alexa until you manually disable the skill.

Soon after dispatch, Nintendo Switch proprietors began seeing an issue. Their thumbstick would begin moving with no info. Known as Joy-Con float, the plan deformity has tormented incalculable Switch frameworks and prodded numerous legal claims. 

How to fix Joy-Con drift on Nintendo Switch

All things considered, most players can fix the difficulties themselves. Here's the manner by which to fix Joy-Con float on the Nintendo Switch.

What is Joy-Con drift?

Bliss Con float is an issue where your thumbstick will move without you contacting it. The actual stick will not move, however, the Switch will get information. Indeed, even the most minor floating issues are irrationally irritating, as you need to battle with your thumbstick to focus your camera and move toward the path you need to go. 

In spite of the fact that thumbstick float is anything but another issue, the Joy-Con issue is boundless. Three legal claims have been recorded since 2019, and every one of them is as yet enveloped with the courts. The claims show that steel brushes against carbon when you move the thumbstick to and fro, speeding up mileage and causing the thumbstick to float. 

Fortunately, you can fix Joy-Con float with a couple of basic advances. In case you're actually having issues in the wake of following the means beneath, you can send your Joy-Con in for a fix or present your data to one of the claims (you'll need to arrange a substitution, at that point).

How to fix Joy-Con drift

You don't have to toss out your Joy-Con if it's floating. There are a couple of simple advances you can take to fix Joy-Con float with no specialized information or screwdrivers. All you need is your Switch, the acting up Joy-Con, and the capacity to look around in your framework settings.

Update your system software

Prior to doing whatever else, ensure your framework and Joy-Con firmware are cutting-edge. Beginning with your framework, select System Settings from the Switch home screen and look down to System. There, select System Update. Your Switch will naturally look for another update, and it will inquire as to whether there is one. Your Nintendo Switch ought to perform framework refreshes consequently. In case you're behind, look down and turn Auto-Update Software to On to naturally refresh your product later on. 

Back out of the System menu and look up to Controllers and Sensors. Look down a piece and select Update Controllers. The Switch can just refresh regulators that are appended to the body, so ensure that your tricky Joy-Con is associated. Your Switch will identify both Joy-Cons and endeavor to refresh them. 

Albeit these two stages alone will not fix all Joy-Con float issues, it's critical to work with the most recent programming. Move this progression first so you don't need to re-think later advances.

Calibrate the thumbstick

In the event that you have a minor floating-issue or the issue is irregular, you can fix your Joy-Con by recalibrating it. From the home screen, select System Settings and look down to Controllers and Sensors. There, select Calibrate Control Sticks. 

Select the Joy-Con you need to adjust on the following screen by pushing down the thumbstick. Your Switch will show your thumbstick contributions on the following screen. A green cross method you're not contacting the regulator, while a green circle implies you are contacting it. On the off chance that you see a green circle or the marker is moving without you contacting the thumbstick, your Joy-Con is floating. Press X on your Switch to recalibrate it. 

Recalibrating is simple. Follow the means by moving your thumbstick to each side and moving it around two or multiple times. From that point onward, fly once again into the menu to check your data sources. In case you're actually having issues, proceed onward to the subsequent stage.

Clean your Joy-Con

A typical reason for Joy-Con float is a messy thumbstick. Residue, pieces, and other trash can get stopped under the thumbstick, adding more weight a specific way and causing a minor float around there. 

Segregate your Joy-Con and snatch a container of packed air. Push the thumbstick up and gradually move it around all around, following behind with compacted air. Utilize the included straw to coordinate the air and point it away from the thumbstick to push flotsam and jetsam out (not more profound in). 

Then, get a q-tip and some isopropyl liquor. Softly dunk the q-tip into the liquor (ensure it isn't dribbling). Push up the thumbstick and follow a similar interaction for compacted air, following with the q-tip on the base portion of the thumbstick as you move. You need simply a slender layer of isopropyl liquor. After you're finished applying, pivot the thumbstick a couple of more occasions. 

That is it for cleaning. Despite the fact that you can utilize a toothpick with full-size regulators to bring out a huge piece of garbage, there isn't sufficient space on the Joy-Con. You could harm your Joy-Con hopelessness, so we don't suggest pushing things past the two cleaning ventures above.

Replace the thumbstick

In the event that the three stages above didn't work, we suggest requesting another Joy-Con or sending yours in for a substitution (guidelines on the most proficient method to do that underneath). In the event that you wouldn't fret partying day in and day out, you can attempt to supplant the thumbstick yourself. Remember that basically opening your Joy-Con will void your guarantee and hold you back from getting a free substitution later on. 

Happiness Cons utilize a nonexclusive thumbstick that you can get on Amazon. Numerous units likewise accompany a couple of exceptional screwdrivers, which you'll have to destroy your Joy-Con. These units accompany bit by bit directions, yet we suggest keeping the Nintendo Switch teardown manage from iFixIt helpful. We have a couple of tips on the off chance that you need to endeavor a (DIY) fix, however. 

In the first place, be extremely cautious with the screws on the rear of your Joy-Con. Nintendo utilizes an exceptional head type and delicate metal, making it simple to strip the screws. There are a few little screws inside the Joy-Con that are not difficult to forget about. Draw an essential graph on a piece of paper and spot the fastens the right spot to make reassembly simpler. 

Our most significant hint, however, is to not endeavor maintenance except if you're open to losing your Joy-Con. Delicate lace links associate the entirety of the parts inside the Joy-Con, and it's not difficult to harm these links during maintenance. It's feasible to supplant the thumbstick in your Joy-Con, yet it's a long way from an essential fix.

How to get a Joy-Con drift replacement

Nintendo offers free Joy-Con fixes to clients. Take care of the online solicitation structure to begin the help cycle. All you need is the quantity of Joy-Cons you're sending in (restricted to four dependent on battery guidelines via the post office) and your Switch's chronic number. Nintendo will endeavor to fix your Joy-Con, however on the off chance that that is preposterous, you'll get a substitution. Lamentably, substitutions are just offered in the Switch standard dim, neon blue, or neon red shading plans. 

It could require half a month for your maintenance to return. In case you're restless to continue to play, you can arrange a Joy-Con substitution. Nintendo offers Joy-Cons in sets 

(ordinarily with interesting shading plans) yet in addition as individual units. You can get a left or right Joy-Con for around $40.

It is exceptionally uncommon for another comfort to deliver without some sort of issue. The best we as early adopters can expect is that they are minor and not as extreme as the notorious red ring of death that tormented the early form of the Xbox 360. 

Sync joystick drift to ps5,

Lamentably, Sony's PlayStation, at least 5 explicitly the DualSense regulator, has been acquiring a ton of negative consideration for a deficiency in the joysticks. The issue of joystick float is practically indistinguishable from the one seen with Nintendo's Joycons, all things considered called Joycon float, then again, actually it is appearing a whole lot earlier in the regulator's life.

In case you're seeing issues with your DualSense joysticks, there are a couple of techniques you can attempt to fix it yourself. A floating joystick basically delivers your games unplayable, and getting it fixed or supplanted can leave you with no real way to make the most of your reassure for quite a long time, and the expense of another one can be steep. Prior to going through any of that, here's the manner by which to fix joystick float on PS5.

What is joystick drift?

In case you're new to the term, joystick float is the point at which your regulator carries on as though you're squeezing either of the joysticks a particular way in any event, when you are not contacting the regulator. In-game, it can show as your character turning or strolling one way continually, or pushing through menu choices out of your control. This occurs with DualSense regulators on the grounds that the sensors under the stick are either being set off by something or are coming up short on a product or mechanical level. The previous two you might have the option to address all alone with these tips, while the last you can't.

What NOT to do

Most importantly, don't endeavor to open up your DualSense regulator. Regardless of whether you do as such as cautiously as could really be expected, opening it up will void your guarantee, implying that if none of the other fixes here work, you will not have the option to return it for another one. There's additionally no motivation to get inside except if the issue is mechanical, in which case you wouldn't have the parts to fix it at any rate, so put your screwdriver in a safe spot until further notice. 

Additionally, and we'll make reference to it again when we get to the cleaning segment, yet try to clean your regulator appropriately. We mean don't immerse it with water, or get it wet at all truly. This is an electronic gadget, all things considered, and you can without much of a stretch wind up accomplishing more harm along these lines. Focusing on liquor little amounts, appropriately applied, is all that anyone could need. 

At last, and this is a decent guideline to follow regardless, be thoughtful to your regulator. We as a whole have snapshots of gamer fierceness here and there, yet never take it out on your regulator. One terrible throw or drop can forever harm the inside or outside. In any event, being excessively unpleasant with the sticks can make issues crop up quicker.

Reset your DualSense

We should begin with the simpler fixes to ideally settle the joystick float issue rapidly and without any problem. Resetting your DualSense isn't finished by turning it now and again; there is really a secret reset button that will totally revive your regulator. Look on the rear of your DualSense for a little opening where the reset button is covered up. You will require something like a paperclip to delicately embed and hold down the catch for five seconds. After it has restarted, wire your regulator back into the PS5 and check whether the float is as yet present.

Reset your Bluetooth

On the off chance that resetting the regulator doesn't work, you can give cycling the Bluetooth a shot and off. This is more averse to be the reason for float however is as yet worth an attempt simply in the event that there is some obstruction. To kill your Bluetooth, go into Settings > Accessories > Controllers > Communication Method and afterward hit Turn Off Bluetooth. When the association is crippled, stand by a couple of seconds and afterward walk out on and test it out.

Update your PS5 and controller

Consoles are refreshed most often near dispatch to fix issues and bugs very much like this, so it is conceivable your regulator or reassure may have missed one that will eliminate the float. Your regulator will incite you to refresh in the event that you design it into your PS5. To ensure your PS5 itself is on the current fix, go into Settings > System > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software and pick Update Using Internet. Your comfort will at that point verify whether it has the most recent refresh and apply it on the off chance that it doesn't. In the event that you do get an update, sit tight for it to introduce, reboot your reassure, and check whether the float is no more.

Clean your joysticks

Cleaning your regulator consistently ought to be an ordinary piece of your daily practice to ensure it stays useful, however thinking about how new the framework is you might not have done as such yet. It is generally very simple for residue, grime, and oils from our hands to leak in and cause devastation inside our regulators in a short measure of time. In the event that some unacceptable estimated piece of flotsam and jetsam winds up in some unacceptable spot under your thumbstick, it can without much of a stretch reason it to float. 

The best, and most secure, approach to clean your regulator is with a q-tip, some scouring liquor, and compacted air. Before you get into cleaning it, simply ensure your DualSense is killed. Give it a quick overview with the compacted air, showering in short blasts as your twist the thumbstick in a round trip. Then, utilize your q-tip and simply a spot of liquor and run it along the edges of your simple stick's base. Allow it to get dry for a couple of moments and afterward try it out.

Adjust the dead zone

This isn't such a lot of a total arrangement as it is a minor, and restrictive, cure. A few games permit you to set what is known as a "no man's land" in the regulator settings. This is the scope of movement you can move the stick where the game wont register any development. On the off chance that the float isn't excessively outrageous, you could fix it in explicit games by changing the no man's land so the sum the regulator is normally floating isn't gotten by the game. The drawback is that this will go dependent upon the situation relying upon the game. Not all games offer it, and lamentably, you can't change the no man's land on the PS5 itself to apply to all games.

Return it or send it in for repairs

When in doubt, you're left with no decision except for to either supplant or fix your DualSense regulator. Contingent upon the retailer you bought your regulator or support from, or in the event that you did or didn't buy any sort of guarantee, your most ideal alternative is to attempt to get a substitution from that equivalent retailer. In the event that everything is all together, you ought to have the option to get it and get a substitution on the spot. 

On the off chance that you can't get a substitution from the retailer, or you bought it straightforwardly from Sony, at that point you should go to the authority PlayStation Fix and Replace site. Sony offers a one-year guarantee on the DualSense, however it has a couple of downsides. In the wake of affirming that you have endeavored to determine the issue with the investigating steps they give, which we canvassed in this guide also, you should pay to box and transport your broken regulator to them. When they get it, Sony gauges a 7-to 10-business-day time span for them to fix it, and afterward there's the hang tight for it to really hit you up too. All things considered, you could be without your DualSense for more than about fourteen days, however it will be fixed and is less expensive than purchasing a substitution yourself.
