    iCloud How can I move my parents to my iCloud Family Share?

    My elderly parents have had an iCloud family for a number of years. My mom runs it, as my dad has health issues. I'd like to put them both in my family (I wish they had let me years ago). My dad has an Apple Watch that we use to help keep track of him, so I can't have it get messed up. Any...

    Backup iPhone photos, but remove the preview from phone, too?

    I am looking for the best way to make a digital backup of my photos, but not exactly through iCloud. They are already backed up there, but even having the tens of thousands of previews is annoying and overwhelming, so I want to start fresh while still maintaining a reliable backup. I’d just...

    iCloud iOS backs up camera roll to iCloud regardless of Photos settings

    I recently added iCloud storage in preparation for a new iPhone. As part of the process I backed up an iPhone 6. To my surprise the backup took up about 35GB of iCloud space, so much that I got an alert to upgrade my 50GB plan to 200GB. I went from about 3.5GB of iCloud use to 50GB-plus. Since...

    Hi, My wife has an iMac (2015 Big Sur 3TB Fusion drive) which holds all her photographs. The library of photos on this iMac has grown over years from when she began using iPhoto on a G4 iMac to the Photos app she now uses. So she has photos on her iMac that she doesn't have anywhere else and...

    Problem with Music app loading

    I have a M1 MBP running Big Sur 11.6. I have a music library of 31 GB, resident on the local HDD. Thinks have been 'OK' (though I consider iTunes to have been a seriously-flawed program in 2001 which got more flawed with each iteration, and the Music app has maintained that devolution). But I...
