    iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB vs 512GB - your thoughts?

    Hello everyone! I’m currently considering to get an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I'm trying to decide between the 256GB and 512GB storage options. Some say that 256GB is more than enough, but on the other hand, I saw plenty reviews, where a person had to get a new phone only because of the lack of...

    iCloud Messages size inflating from seemingly nothing

    For the past few weeks my iCloud storage has been completely eaten up by "messages". It's increased by ~100mb every few days for a short while now with absolutely nothing that could possibly attribute to it. In fact, I've deleted about 40+ attachments since it started, and I've also deleted any...

    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...

In the Settings app under iCloud it shows that Backups is using 4.3 GB even though I have set device backups to off and when I click on Backups to delete it from iCloud, it shows 0KB and nothing to delete.

    Mac full despite optimizing storage!

    I have 2Tb of iCloud storage. On my MacBook I have 500GB. I keep getting "Mac storage is full" messages which keeps me from getting any work done. With Optimize Mac Storage on, shouldn't Mac automatically "throttle" what's on my MacBook so I can keep using it? In System Prefs, it shows...

    iCloud storage won't shrink or sync after deleting photos?

    So I just have the basic 5GB of iCloud storage space for photos and my backup. Usually when it starts to fill I just download a bunch of pictures to my laptop and then delete them off iCloud, then in turn they'll automatically delete off my phone. My storage filled up to 4.8GB out of my 5GB...

    Photos in iCloud: Upload all photos or just those taken with iPhone?

    I'm currently using about 130 GB of iCloud storage with photos and videos taken with an iPhone over the past eight years or so. I have a separate photo and video library on a hard drive of about 300 GB taken with non-iPhone cameras (not RAW - keeping those archived on a dedicated drive). I've...

When I go to iCloud in Settings, it says I only have 4.7 gb of 50 gb used. None of the photos and videos on either my iPad or iphone that I’ve taken since I started...

    Cannot delete some data out of iCloud storage

    I am having a problem with being able to delete some data out of my iCloud storage. On my iPhone or iPad, I'm going to 'Manage Storage' and trying to delete data from iCloud Drive/Other Documents, iMovie, Alto's Adventure, and Siri, but nothing happens after deleting - it just stays on that...

    iCloud Storage Plan vs. Crashplan

    My family has 5 different Macs, 6 iPhones, and 3 iPads for 6 family members. I just converted my whole family over to the Family Sharing iCloud Storage Plan of 2 TB since my wife and I both had that and our kids other ones. I was also running Crashplan but can't see the value of paying for...
