    How to create a non-Apple ID tied iCloud email?

    Hi all, I'm trying to do the impossible: Change my current Apple ID that ends with a me.com email to a completely new @icloud.com email address. Theoretically this should be easy as you are allowed to change the Apple ID from one icloud.com/me.com/mac.com email to another but the issue is that...

    Flash drive to back up iPad docs (not just photos)

    I was disappointed to find that the SanDisk iXpand can only copy photos and videos from the iPad. I’m hoping that this isn’t a limitation imposed by Apple. I’m a creative pro and need to back up large Procreate and Affinity Photo docs. Yes, I can back up to the cloud, but upload is slow over...

    Other Is purchasing an iCloud locked iPhone a lost cause?

    Hi, I'm looking to purchase an iPhone strictly for social media. Snapchat, Instagram, the camera is just better. It'll only be on Wi-Fi, so I didn't care if it was blacklisted. Is there any way to circumvent the iCloud lock at all, as of 2018? I'm seeing an ad on Craigslist that offers to do it...

    Best conversion of 1080i50 to 1080p50 HEVC?

    I have a good but older video camera that records at 1080i50. It imports fine into Photos (or iMovie), but the files are very large, PLUS Apple blends the 2 interlaced fields so there's a constant blur to the image. I keep all my Photos and videos in iCloud. Can anyone recommend a good app on...
