    Why can't I force a backup of iMessage to iCloud?

    Why is there no way to force a backup of iMessages to iCloud? I can click "backup now" to back up the rest of my phone, why can't I do the same for iMessage? It would be very helpful since this feature seems to have stalled from the outset and is no longer uploading any of my conversations to...

    HomeCloud: a vision for an Apple-branded NAS

However, there is another one that could - in my opinion - rule them all and create new opportunities for the soon-to-be Trillion-Dollar company. One that would complement all those iDevices in a personal and safe way. More...

    11.4 iMessage in iCloud not working.

    I'm totally confused by this new feature of imessage being stored in icloud. I've enabled everything. It said "uploading to icloud" for a little bit and then seemed to finish. When I go to icloud settings and "manage icloud storage" it shows over 1 gig of imessages that should be uploaded. But...

    How to migrate my messages from a none-iCloud to an iCloud Apple ID?

    I have had two Apple IDs for ages, one for the iTunes Store and one for iCloud. The one for the iTunes Store uses an email address that wasn't provided by Apple, especially since there was no iCloud when I first started using iTunes. Unfortunately, I've been using this Apple ID also for the...

    3 months iCloud storage free after upgrading to 50gb?

    When did Apple start providing 3 months free iCloud storage for upgrading to a paid tier? I spoke to apple support via web chat and they had no idea what is happening. Even the email says that there is 3 months free. I have tried googling it and nothing comes up. Can anyone help me? Thanks
