Guys I own a iPhone X and AW S3 GPS and have on order an iPhone XS Max and AW S4 GPS & Cellular. I'm trying to work out how to migrate to the new iPhone & watch. My other half will be taking on the current phone & watch. As I see it options are: 1) Backup the X via iTunes on the PC. Set up...

I upgraded from an X to Xs and I had ios12 GM on the X....did the restore from back up on the XS and my pics still wont restore. The back up screen keeps saying will restore...but after a while its now just showing ready for next back up...but still no pictures. Anyone else see this?

So I've had Apple Music for a while now and I download it directly to my phone due to terrible service during my commute. It looks like everything in my Music app has a Cloud download icon on it, does that mean I have to manually download every single item again? I figured it would come back...

I'm going to restore from a backup of my iPhone X today (so I can keep my health/watch data). What's the best way to go about keeping the original iPhone Xs wallpapers though -- are they special "live" ones? Was wondering if I need to first set up the Xs Max as "new", then Airdrop the...

Ive updated to iOS11 but still have an iTunes backup from iOS9. Suppose i do a Restore, will it work and Restore my iPhone back to iOS9?

So I updated my iPhone 5S and my iPhone X yesterday to ios12. Each time I connect to iTunes, encrypted backup, then restore with the backup. Whole process takes 1-2 hours including the fresh backup. I tried it with my iPhone 7 today expecting no issues, but oh boy. It took from 12am to 7am to...

Hi all Im looking for inspiration and want to know how you guys store all your files. Right now I have lots of stuff on my MBP SSD, some stuff in my Free dropbox and lots of stuff on a external harddrive (mostly fotos and other old stuff I dont want to delete) Once in a while I backup both my...

Hello I got a SE and plan on upgrading to the XR. I plan to use itunes to create a backup of the SE and restoring it on the XR. My question is if this method will preserve my logins on the various apps or will I have to re-login to each and every app?

I had a consistency error on my system drive which neither Drive Genius nor Disk Utility could fix. I cloned the High Sierra system SSD with Bombich CCC to an internal HD which had been wiped and APFS formatted and found it to be bootable, as expected. The next step will be to reformat the old...

I got an ElCapitan Timemachine backup of a system and i wish to restore it on an external drive. That drive will be the boot drive of my iMac... how do i make the restore?

Hello, I've MyCloud 4TB and OneDrive for Business. I need to upload around 3TB directly from MyCloud to OneDrive. My MBP is only 256 so would take me ages to do it manually. I tried to change location through OneDrive app, but it doesn't let me pick up a folder except for its own folder. Any...

I backed up my X and I want to restore it on a 6 is that possible ? Whats the lowest model I can use that will restore the info I had on my X ? I tried with a 5 and it said the software was too old. Even after i had updated to the "newest" firmware Thanks !

I just completed the first backup on a new disk and 30 minutes later I see TimeMachine saying "Backing up 1GB of 2.75GB" I see this a lot with other TM drives too when I know that I haven't created 2.75GB of new data on my Mac. What's going on in this instance? Surely they're not system files...

Ive just brought the MacBook Pro 15" top spec (ready made) and im coming from a 5 year old 2013 MacBook Pro. Im new to thunderbolt and so can someone tell me what the FASTEST way to backup using "Super Duper" software to an external drive is? I currently have a standard non flash drive I back...

Hi I've been using MacBook pros and Time Machine for years, but luckily never had a drive fail. I'm in the process of getting bigger back up drives and a new setup so I ha da few questions. I backup to two separate 2tb HDD's which backup up my 1tb internal SSD regularly. I wondered what would...

I'm looking for a router/external hard drive setup to replace a failing Apple 3TB Time Capsule (ME182LL/A). I typically use my Time Capsule with Time Machine, but I'm finding that recently the hardware and software is becoming less and less reliable, which means that I'm open to new ideas. One...

According to the last bullet on this page, external drives containing time machine backup should be bootable and appear as EFI Boot on the Startup Manager screen. My MBP late 2011 is running lion 10.7.5. I formatted a new external hard drive to HFS+ encrypted by erasing the drive using disk...

I currently have a 3TB Apple Time Capsule ME182LL/A that I would like to replace. What router/hard drive combination will give me a similar setup, but with more hard drive space and improved performance? BTW, I know that replacing the hard drive is an option, but I really don't want to...

Why is there no way to force a backup of iMessages to iCloud? I can click "backup now" to back up the rest of my phone, why can't I do the same for iMessage? It would be very helpful since this feature seems to have stalled from the outset and is no longer uploading any of my conversations to...

Between the iPhone, the Mac or the iPad, Apple has some killer products. However, there is another one that could - in my opinion - rule them all and create new opportunities for the soon-to-be Trillion-Dollar company. One that would complement all those iDevices in a personal and safe way. More...
