    Downloading Originals iCloud Photo Library Stuck

    The other day I noticed my Mac Studio had stopped downloading my iCloud Photo Library (about 270GB) originals to the external SSD I have been using since I had my 27 inch iMac. I figured the issue was that it was because I recently started using Plex to share a few video files from it. I decided...

    iPhone SE (2022) iCloud Backup Size Seems Too Small?

    Running a brand new SE 3, upgraded from SE 2. How is my iCloud backup so small even though the photo album is so large (relatively)? My last backup from the SE 2 before updating was 2.9 GB. Is this lower number due to indexing or something about having a new phone?

    iCloud space saving tip

    Running out of iCloud backup space? If you're already on an iCloud+ plan and don't have a ton of picture/videos taking up space, this might help. A recurring phenomena is that Apps load discardable data (i.e. Game assets, post-install downloadable databases) as user data, thus inflating backup...

    Apple One Apple one sub price increase to £37!!!

    This is simply ridiculous from Apple. They have jacked up the Apple one sub price yet again and this time it’s a full £5/month increase. They already increased the price by £3 a few months ago and now this is just too much. This is no way in line with inflation and the customer is getting...

    iCloud Messages size inflating from seemingly nothing

    For the past few weeks my iCloud storage has been completely eaten up by "messages". It's increased by ~100mb every few days for a short while now with absolutely nothing that could possibly attribute to it.
