    How do I sync photos across devices without storing any of them on iCloud

    Hi, I have several Apple devices, but I have no interest in purchasing additional iCloud storage. How can I maximize the 5 GBs of free space just to ensure they sync images take on each device across my MacBook Pro, iPhone X, 6s and iPad Pro? I don't need to keep them on iCloud Photos. Right...

    Do certain iCloud Drive locations not count towards the iCloud storage limit?

    Over the course of the last 2-3 months, I kept adding some large files to the Documents folder on my Mac (with the option for the Documents and Desktop being synced via iCloud). I originally figured I'd delete them from there once I don't use them anymore since I don't want to upgrade my iCloud...

    I have a MacBook Air, an iPhone 5C and an iPhone 8. My MacBook Air and the iPhone 5C were synched and both connected to iCloud so that some data (not sure what all) would be saved on both. Purchased a new iPhone 8, and now have it synched with the MacBook Air, so that it saves stuff, too. I...

    iCloud photos missing

    I recently found a software problem on my iPhone 7. I don’t know if any of you have experienced it, it didn’t connect with the microphone and speaker at all. That’s not important, but what I read about it was that the only way for me to get rid of the problem was to get a substitute from an...

    This is a cautionary tale. iCloud is not reliable storage. You must backup all your photos and documents to your own machine. Do not rely on iCloud. When my iPhone upgraded to iOS 11.4 three years of photos and all my documents vanished, on the phone and on iCloud. I spent an hour with tech...

    iCloud & Photos

    Back in the day, I used to backup my iPhone each day or so to my MBP. My main purpose was so that all of my pictures were stored on my MBP.

    Need to change iCloud Email address

    I'm pretty sure it's not possible to change your main iCloud email address since it's @icloud.com so my only option is to create a new iCloud account I guess? Do I need to buy all apps again or can I move my purchases over? Anyone has gone through this and can share their experiences?
