    Apps Apple Watch, Watch OS, and Apple's total inability to write code.

    A few months ago an S3 with WOS 8 started doing absurd readings on Activity, Movement ring, reading 1,000,000 calories per day consumed. With Apple we tried everything, nothing worked, I took it to service at the Apple Store and they encountered hardware issues. Okay, I thought, it was an old...

    Duplicate iMessage streams for same contact different number or sender identity

    Hello Folks, this issue is probably as old as not being able to merge AppleIds. Anyway: If you chat with someone on iMessage and change your number (and the chat contact updated his contact about you), the receiver will still end up with two different message streams on iMessages even it is...

    iCloud iCloud or Microsoft 365

    I am really struggling to choose between ecosystems. I know a lot of people say that there is no need to choose and you can use whatever you want (right tool for the problem), but as I like to keep my stuff organized – I really need to choose. 😊 Now I am using iCloud+ with custom domain (also...

    iCloud Ripoff

    My phone warned me that my 50GB iCloud storage was full, so I moved my video files to my laptop and then deleted them from my phone. But iCloud still would not sync them. I tried deleting more stuff, but iCloud continued to report that 50.3 GB was in use. Finally, I caved in and upgraded to...

    I have put files and such in iCloud Drive but never tried to retrieve them, so I try to and find out you can only download file by file and not even entire folders(wtf). So my work around was to compress the files making it one big file which I could download multiple files on my computer. I...

    iCloud To access a file from arbitrary folder

    I have many Pages documents in different folders on my Mac and sometimes I need to edit them on an iPad. I tried to use iCloud for this, but it seems iCloud requires me to move them to the iCloud folder first, and this isn't convenient to me (that is, I want to keep them in their original...

    iCloud Calendar tells that I have deleted items in shared calendars.

    Today I've noticed something really strange. My wife's iPhone shows a list of notifications that I have deleted a dozen items from several shared calendars. Now, I didn't do that at all and I haven't seen any iCloud logins from devices we don't own. In the last couple of months one or two items...

    iCloud Books troubles (No sync, lost all Books on Mac App)

    So I'm trying to sort out some issues with my MacOs Books. If I added a new book to the Mac App it used to bring it over to the iOS one and it no longer does that. All the books disappeared from the MacOS Books app and I'd like them to come back. My gut says maybe CleanMyMac did this...

    Logging into App Store on old devices after turning on Advanced Data Protection

    I’m trying to find the answer to a very specific question. I’m hoping someone who has already turn on Advanced Data Protection, and has the appropriate hardware, can physically test this and confirm.

    iCloud iCloud personal to iCloud Family

    I have my personal iCloud and my partner has theirs. If I get an iCloud Family plan, we'd both be in the same pool, BUT, the data would be separate, right? I'd hate for any data to merge. Ugh, that would be a pain...
