    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...

    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...
