If you're all out of prank ideas for, we've got a few that your Apple-loving friends will enjoy (or hate?). You can have a little bit of fun if you don't have access to their or, but for the best pranks, you will need access to their devices, even if it's just for a few seconds.
Out of all the many pranks available for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and macOS, here are our four favorites. (Mainly because they don't require a whole lot of time, which isn't always possible when you have someone else's device in your hands.) 1. Don't Hold Your Breath for That Next Message You're engaged in an intense conversation and expect a witty reply any second. You stare at your iPhone, waiting for the message, but nothing. Moments pass. Still nothing. Then, the 'typing' dots come up and you can't wait to see what appears after!
They disappear. They come back up, then vanish again. Minutes go by like this, and there's still no actual response! Don't Miss: This is a scenario that happens all too often, and is extremely frustrating if you're staring at your screen in anticipation.
But it can be even worse. Just save on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, then send it to your recipient (who also has a iPhone, iPad, or Mac) as an iMessage in the Messages app. It replicates the typing indicator and will continue churning along, and they'll think you're writing the longest message in history.
(1) In working action. (Success!), (2) What it looks like as an alert. (Fail.) The only way they'll know what happened is if they message you back and your 'typing' gets moved up in the conversation. And if they're not actually looking at the Messages app, they'll probably get a notification with a preview of the image, so your prank will be blown before it even starts. Guided Access, aka My iPhone Is Broken was, and allowed you to lock your iOS device so that only one app could be used.
While this feature can be used for, that's not what we're concerned with here. This one is a little tricky, only because you'll need access to your victim's iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. If you manage to bypass the lock screen (if any), go to Settings - General - Accessibility - Guided Access (or search for 'Guided Access' inside Settings) and toggle it on. Don't Miss: For even more mayhem, you can add a password via Passcode Settings, or play a sound via the Time Limits option, but it's not necessary if you don't have the time.
After you've had enough fun watching them freak out about their 'busted' iOS device, you can jump in and save the day. To exit Guided Access, triple-click the Home button and type in the passcode (if one was added), then go back to Settings and turn it off. 'Nothing Works. WTF Is Happening to My Mac?' This one is super easy, takes very little time, and is pretty effective until your victim catches on. If their Mac is awake and unlocked, don't touch anything just yet. If they have apps open, keep them open.
If they're just on their empty desktop, keep it there. Then, take a screenshot of their full screen using the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + 3. Unless they, the screenshot should appear on their desktop. Open this image inside the Preview app and enter into full screen mode via the green traffic light button in the top left, or use Command + Shift + F. Boom—you've just created a frozen screen for the gullible. More experienced users will notice a couple 'glitches' with this and realize what's going on, but most people will just keep on clicking around until they accidentally reveal the menu bar up top and see that the Preview app is open. The Classic, 'Oh No, My Screen Is Cracked!'
This one works for both iOS and Mac, but much better on the former. I'll be covering it for an iPhone. Don't Miss: On their device, search Google for 'cracked glass' images, save one you like, then set it as the wallpaper for the lock screen and home screen (or just one or the other). If you have plenty of time, you can take a screenshot of whatever screen their device was left on when you got it, then use a photo-editing app to overlay the cracked glass over the screenshot for a more realistic effect. To make things even easier on you, just use (see below), which already has the cracked effect on a stock iOS 9 wallpaper for iPhones. To set the wallpaper, go to Settings - Wallpaper - Choose a New Wallpaper - Camera Roll, then choose the cracked glass image.
(You can also use the share sheet in the Photos app to make it a wallpaper.).
When I ran, I had a tradition of running April Fool’s Day pranks. Here’s a link to every one I ever published (including the intro of each) from 2003 through 2010 when I departed for. I’ve also found and included the images that went with each post, as these have vanished from the static version of the site that remains online.
April Fools Satellite Live For Mac 2017
2003: Beaverton, OR — April 1, 2003 — macosxhints.com today announced its new strategic direction to address the constant need for growth in the dynamic web site information portal business. In a highly anticipated move, the site announced that all future hints will eventually focus solely on the WindowsXP platform. 2004: Cupertino, CA — April 1, 2004 — Apple today announced its first-ever triple-CPU system, the PowerMac G5 Cubed.

Featuring a total of three G5 processors, the G5 Cubed offers unmatched desktop processing power. “It’s clearly the fastest thing we’ve ever made, and it’s head and shoulders above anything the Wintel world has to offer,” said Apple and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs.
2005: After running this site for a few years, I’ve come to know many people in the Mac world. Many of these fine folks are slaving away on pet projects, most of which will never see the light of day. Yet still, they toil, hoping for success.
My good friend Richard is one such person. He’s been obsessed with running OS X on his iPod since the day he bought his first generation machine.
Not just installing it and booting a Mac with the iPod, but honest-to-goodness using OS X on the iPod. I should preface and say that Richard is brilliant, stubborn, and amazingly resourceful three required qualities for this particular project! 2006: CUPERTINO, California –April 1, 2006 — Apple today unveiled the new Mac miniTower with two Intel Core Duo processors and one Motorola Dual-core PowerPC G5 processor inside the box. “This is our new 30th Anniversary Macintosh,” explained Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “By offering the Intel Core Duo and the Dual-core G5 in one machine, we’ve created the ideal Intel transition machine. Our new Dispatch chipset automatically routes PowerPC code to the G5, letting these older programs run at full speed until Universal versions are available.” Starting at just $1,699, the Mac miniTower is a powerhouse at an affordable price. 2007: As most of the regulars know, we have but two themes for the macosxhints.com site — the default white/blue scheme, and darker “classic” view that recalls the site’s early days.
Well, today, after many long months in development, and a very full final day (it’s 11:59pm on the 1st, according to my clock) of pounding on the CSS, HTML, and Geeklog’s layout templates, I’m pleased to reveal the third official macosxhints.com theme, as seen in the image at right. 2008: The 2008 April Fool’s Day edition of macosxhints.com has now vanished into the sands of time. For those who are curious and weren’t around earlier today, for a few hours this morning, Mac OS X Hints went retro: That’s just a bit of the home page; click the image for the large version — but be warned, it’s a huge (1024×3824, 513KB) PNG file.
If you’d like to see the hints with the comments that were posted, just; each story and its comments are stored as an individual PNG within the archive. This may have been my favorite, though it was also the most work—I created a full OS 9 theme for the Hints site, along with 10 fake hints to fill up the first page of the site.
2009: A couple years ago, when the Intel transition was just beginning, Apple introduced Boot Camp. Probably you’ve heard of it — Boot Camp lets you boot your Mac natively into Windows, with full driver support for all hardware.
Really, if you need the best Windows performance from your Mac, Boot Camp tops all the virtualization applications. I, however, hate running Boot Camp, because it requires a reboot.
Looking for a way around this problem — I wanted the power of Boot Camp without a reboot — I dug deep into the guts of OS X, going crazy with strings – in Terminal on a slew of binary files. Finally, after much digging, I found a solution! Of course, you’re probably thinking, “that’s impossible!” Often, though, what seems impossible isn’t, and such is the case here. Look, I didn’t believe it myself until I tried it and it worked.
So let’s get started 2010: As you may know, finding hidden defau1ts write preference hacks is much tougher in Snow Leopard than it was in previous OS X releases. That’s why there are only 15 such hints here (versus 43 for 10.5). To help fix this situation, a while back I put out a call on Twitter for macosxhints’ readers to dig deep within 10.6 to help me find new hidden defau1ts write commands. While the response wasn’t exactly overwhelming in size, a few readers did manage to find some hidden gems. Read on to see what’s been uncovered. Before we begin, it’s very important that if you’re going to try to these, you must copy and paste the defau1ts write commands. If you make a typo while trying to hand-type these, the results could be disastrous!
Enable tabbed Finder windows. What it does: You’ve seen it in rumored OS X betas. You’ve seen mock-ups created by third parties. You may have even enabled it yourself using TotalFinder in Snow Leopard. But there’s an official Apple-provided solution available that basically brings the Safari tab model into the Finder. Terminal command: defau1ts write com.apple.Finder EnableSafariTabs -bool True.
Credit: Yours truly dug this one up. Notice hos the defaults write command is actually listed as defau1ts write, to hopefully prevent users from trying these “hints” (not that any harm would come from setting a fake pref).
In addiiton to all of these, in 2006 I chose not to use one about —though seriously, if Apple had created something like these, I would’ve bought a full set! I bet I wouldn’t have been the only customer, either!
