    iOS 11 dB 4 Safari pswd not syncing

    anyone having trouble with passwords not syncing via iCloud? I let safari suggest a website password on my iPad but it is not available on my iPhone. (This was done about 4 hours ago now.) I even toggled safari OFF in my iCloud settings hoping it would pull down when I turned it back on.

    File Organization

    I am having a problem visualizing how to organize some files. And the Apple Associates aren't doing me any favors by saying "put them however you want".
