    iCloud iCloud lost previous version of numbers files?

    Hi, We have a couple of files that we continuously update using numbers. I noticed on my Mac when I went to update these that the version was dated back to the 14th October when we know for sure these files had been updated more recently? I have hunted high and low to try and find these later...

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Unbelievable In Store Time

    Now grant it, some of my problem was American Express having an error of some sort processing to my bank and not being able to fix it (they reported the issue up line). BUT most of it was the long download times and transfers. Because everything is iCloud and everyone is on the WiFi. It took 2...

    iPhone SE (2022) iCloud Backup Size Seems Too Small?

    Running a brand new SE 3, upgraded from SE 2. How is my iCloud backup so small even though the photo album is so large (relatively)? My last backup from the SE 2 before updating was 2.9 GB. Is this lower number due to indexing or something about having a new phone?

    iCloud "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." but more than 2TB are available

    This is weird and annoying: I'm getting "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." when I have more than 2TB free in iCloud. See screenshots below. I have shot 280 GB of long videos recently, and they are also stuck with iCloud Photo Library saying...
