    Universal Most of my Contact groups have disappeared

    A few weeks ago, I noticed that most of my groups on Contacts had disappeared. The contacts were still there but not the contacts. I think, but I'm not sure, that it started when I rebooted my mac mini for the first time in three years. There used to be 40 groups, but contacts on iCloud.com is...

    How do I sync photos to iCloud, while maintaining a local copy?

    I've tried switching off 'optimize mac storage', which from what I understood, would mean photos are stored locally and on iCloud - however photos appear to download from iCloud everytime I want to access them, making it really slow. I like having the automatic syncing/backing up to iCloud, but...

Then I signed into iCloud, unticked the stuff I didn't want to use, the stuff I kept ticked synced fine (and still does), I was able to download...

    iCloud: Photos Vs. Files for Long-Term Storage?

    I use the Photos app to sync media across all my devices, but I don’t want to use it as for long-term storage. Every year, I move all of my media from my devices to local hard drive storage backups, but I would also like to have the convenience of accessibility. I’m interested in using the...

    iPhone photos not syncing with my MBP

    I took some photos with my new iPhone 12 Pro Max but I don't see it on my iCloud Drive on my macOS Mojave MBP. Do we need to explicitly sync them using an app or service etc ? I thought it would automatically get downloaded to my mac.

    Calendar certificate error. Suspicious or stressed servers?

    I got this certificate error for Calendar and I thought it's pretty strange. I never had a certificate error for any Apple server connections before. Any thoughts on this? Could it be related to the heavy server loads at Apple because of the Big Sur rollout? I tried to download Big Sur earlier...
